To Be Continued...

Dear Readers,

     I am sorry for the long silence. Things have been crazy and I haven't been reading very much. This is the beginning of the end. As of this winter I will no longer be reviewing any more books. I have a stack of ARC's that I must review, but after that lurking in the pages will no longer be producing posts. I am entering my final year in high school and at this time I need to focus on my class work. I may restart my blog as soon as after the holidays, or as late as summer of 2016. At the moment I am not quite sure. But when I start LITP up again, it will be better than ever. I will be able to devote my time and energy to it. But for now, we are on pause.


Happy reading!

The F-it List By: Julie Halpern

    This book was recommended to me by a good friend of mine. She did not disappoint! This book was a tornado. There were so many ups and downs I thought I was reading a heart monitor!

   This book is filled with sadness, anger, and love. The main character, Alex, pissed me off. It felt like she was making unrealistic decisions. She seemed to be on a loop: sadness, anger, crying. Over and over again until one guy changes everything.

   The book kept me interested enough to keep reading but I don't really recommend it. It is too frustrating to read.

Lock & Key By: Sarah Dessen

    I will admit, I've been avoiding reading this author for a while. I always saw the popular girls at my school reading them and thought they were like teenage harliquin. Cliche and cheesy.

   I was totally and completely wrong.

   This book captured my heart from the first page. I could feel the emotions leaping off the page; anger, sadness, frustration. It all flew at me in a whirlwind. And I quite enjoyed it! 

    This book is something of a treasure. It has overcoming fears and love and acceptance. This books main character (Ruby) was so well developed. I think this book has some of the most well written character devolent I've ever read. 

    My only probelm is that I was left with so many questions at the end of the book. Did Ruby and Nate get back together? Did Ruby decide to stay with Cora and Jamie? These unanswered questions bothered me. But other than that the book was marvellous!

Falling Under By: Gwen Hayes

    This book started out as if I were in a dream. Things that didn't make sense flowed together to create a sort of dream-like nightmare.

Gwen Hayes wrote a book that is the only one of its kind. It was dark, deceptive, and delicious. I couldn't put it down for a second. 

This book had some of the best character and plot development I've ever read. Theia goes from a meek mouse to a courageous lioness in such a short amount of time it was as if no time had passed at all. Usually when I read a book I can usually predict what is going to happen with immense accuracy. But with Fallong Under I could never see the road ahead.

I highly recommend this book. Everyone will love it!!

Angel in Training By: C. L. Coffey

    This is one of the most intense books I've ever read. The plot line is fantastic and I didn't find any plot holes at all!! Angel is my absolute favorite heroine I've ever encountered. She is fierce, kind, and a bit quirky. I fell in love with this book at page one. I fell into this book like the angels fell from heaven. It was chaotic and beautiful and perfect. I hate C. L. Coffey just a little bit for ending it so abruptly. I didn't want the book to end! 

I recommend this to EVERYONE EVER.

Stolen By: Lucy Christopher

    This book was like walking through a really deep mucky puddle. You started walking in it only to realize too late that the mud was thick and hard to get through. But you still have to finish walking through the puddle.

    This book started out interesting. It's the first book I've read that is told in second person. The plot sounded interesting so I, being naive, picked up the book and though "why not?"

    This book was really heavy and I wanted to drop it half way through. There were parts that confused me. At first I though Anna was her sister but she turned out to be her best friend. This throughly confused me. 

   The psychology in the book made sense. The main character really did seem to have Stockholm syndrome. The sudden change made sense character wise. But that seemed to be the only thing that made any sense. 

    This book was, okay. I'm not going to say I love it because I didn't. But I also didn't hate it. This book is well written, the content and blending of the plot twists just needed some more work.

Beautiful Redemption By: Jamie McGuire

    If I had to compare this book to anything, it would be the tornado in The Wizard Of Oz. It starts off crazy! Everything is spinning out of control and it throwing your emotions every which way. Then, suddenly you are dropped into this weird and wonderful world of love and anguish.

    This book is my favorite (so far) in the Maddox Brothers series. The character development is phenomenal, and the plot makes you want to climb into the world of Liis Lindy and never leave! The plot twists are perfectly executed and I got this gushy feeling inside when I read the book.

100% recommended!!
