Me Before You & Red Queen

I started reading Red Queen the night that I finished Me Before You.  My work schedule has been so crazy that I haven’t had a chance to do my review of Me Before You. So I will definitely be doing my review for both books tomorrow.  Speaking of which did you guys know that there is a sequel to Me Before You? I was in Barnes and Noble and was walking pass the 20% and I saw After You by JoJo Moyes and I opened the cover and the first thing I saw was Lou Clark.  I got super excited. lol Don’t judge me too harshly if I’m the last person that knew about it.  I’m debating on what book I want to start on tomorrow.  I’m thinking of You by Caroline Kepnes.  It seems to have gotten really great reviews and I love a good creepy story.  Until tomorrow hope everyone has a great night.

All the feels of Me Before You….

Alright, so the day I finished David Bell’s novel I started with JoJo Moyes book Me Before You.  I’ve been working some really crazy hours and haven’t had the amount of time I would like to read.  But every free moment I have had my face has been stuck in this book.  This is the first time that I have read a book by her.  I swear the emotions I’m feeling reading this book are killing me.  Its like I have this sense of foreboding and I just can’t shake it.  The fact that I love these characters doesn’t help this feeling at all.  I genuinely love all these characters….well I can do with a little less Patrick and Treena but you know…plot.  I just wanted to let you guys know that my next review is coming soon.  As of last night I was on chapter 22.  So once I finish I’m going to try and do my review within a day.  Happy reading guys!!!

{Review} Somebody I Used to Know By David Bell

So it took a little longer to read this book mostly because life just kept getting in the way. But the book was awesome.  There were times where it lagged just a little.  Mostly because the protagonist honestly makes you want to hit him regularly.  Don’t get me wrong I think that is a great characteristic in a book character.  That they are so well written that you really do think of them as a real person that makes real mistakes.

The book starts with Nick Hansen in the grocery store and he sees a young girl that looks exactly like Marissa Minor the girl he dated in college.  The problem with that is that she had been dead for twenty years.  A tragic fire their junior year in college that left her and three other student dead.  Nick approaches the young girl just to see if she was in any way related to the Minors.  She freaked out and ran out of the store.  The next day Nick was awakened by two officers banging on his door because that same young girl was found dead in her hotel room with his name and address in her pocket.

Obviously this girl is connected to him in some sort of way because why else would she have his information with her.  This causes Nick to start looking into his past as well as Marissa’s.  With the help of some of his old friends he goes back in time to figure out why this young girl was murdered and with a twist ending that I can say I don’t think anybody could really see coming.

This was my first time reading a David Bell novel and I will definitely be reading him again.  Like I said before the writing in this book made the characters so real that you feel so many emotions while reading about what they’re going through.  I legitimately felt bad for Nick when he thought that Marissa had cheated on him with Roger.  And after he meets Roger you just can’t help but hate him even more.  Bottom line is this book has a little action, lots of mystery and intrigue, I would definitely recommend that if you are a fan of either of those things that this is the book for you.  I can’t wait to read my next David Bell novel.  Happy reading you guys!

Under the weather

Sorry I haven’t given an update I’ve been under the weather for the past few days so I haven’t been able to read any of my current read.  I was up to chapter 13 as of Wednesday so now that I’m finally feeling a little better I think I will give a little update tomorrow.  Hopefully with the holiday on Monday I will be able to finish this book and give a final update before the work week starts back up.  Hope everyone is having a great “Galentine’s Day” 🙂  See you soon.

Somebody I Used to Know By David Bell

I found this book in Target yesterday and it seemed like an interesting read.  I wend to read one chapter before bed last night and was still reading two hours later.  Gotta love those bookworms right?  Needless to say I haven’t been able to put the book down for any substantial amount of time today even though I was supposed to be working from home today.  All I can say is not much work happened.

Because I’m new to this whole blogging experience please bare with me while I figure out how often I should update or even how my reviews go.  I don’t want to put a number to the amount of books I’m going to read just because my work schedule changes so often that I don’t want to make promises to myself that I wouldn’t be able to keep.  So I’m going to take this one day at a time and I would love for you all to be there with me every step of the way.

Sorry for that little tangent I went on.  I’ve read a few chapters in this book and like I said love it so far so once I get a little further through I will give a little update.  Thanks for reading.
