<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>If I tell you right up front, right in the beginning that I lost him, it will be easier for you to bear. You will know it’s coming, and it will hurt. But you’ll be able to prepare.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Someone found him in a laundry basket at the Quick Wash, wrapped in a towel, a few hours old and close to death. They called him Baby Moses when they shared his story on the ten o’clock news – the little baby left in a basket at a dingy Laundromat, born to a crack addict and expected to have all sorts of problems. I imagined the crack baby, Moses, having a giant crack that ran down his body, like he’d been broken at birth. I knew that wasn’t what the term meant, but the image stuck in my mind. Maybe the fact that he was broken drew me to him from the start.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It all happened before I was born, and by the time I met Moses and my mom told me all about him, the story was old news and nobody wanted anything to do with him. People love babies, even sick babies. Even crack babies. But babies grow up to be kids, and kids grow up to be teenagers. Nobody wants a messed up teenager.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And Moses was messed up. Moses was a law unto himself. But he was also strange and exotic and beautiful. To be with him would change my life in ways I could never have imagined. Maybe I should have stayed away. Maybe I should have listened. My mother warned me. Even Moses warned me. But I didn’t stay away.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And so begins a story of pain and promise, of heartache and healing, of life and death. A story of before and after, of new beginnings and never-endings. But most of all...a love story.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
<i><b>The first few words of every story are always the hardest. It's almost as if pulling them out, speaking them into existence, commits you to seeing it all the way through. As if once you start, you are required to finish.</b></i></blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sigh.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There's hardly a moment in any given day that I don't want to pick up a book. But there are times that not just any book will do. I sometimes feel a need, almost a desperation, to be emotionally destroyed by a book. To be pulled so deep into the brink of sorrow and heartache that I'm practically drowning in it. So far down that I'm not at all sure it'll be possible for me to reach the surface again.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm always surprised when someone, an author, is able to evoke those kinds of feelings, emotions within me. When I started feeling that craving coming on recently I instantly knew that Amy Harmon and <i>The Law of Moses </i>were going to fill that need for me. I'd previously read her book <i>Making Faces </i>which did all of those things for me while also sprinkling in bits of warmth and happiness, so I was feeling pretty confident. If anything, <i>The Law of Moses </i>probably even made me feel a tiny bit more.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was really hard for me to put a label on this book when it comes to genre, because at it's heart it's Contemporary, except there was this huge part of one of the characters, and who they were, that was heavily influenced with the Paranormal and/or Supernatural. So I guess you could kind of view it either way. No matter what label you throw on it though the one thing that matters is that Amy Harmon is a brilliant author. She strings together all these words that paint these beautiful images in your mind. Images of tragedy and loss and breaking, of love and mending. </div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
<i><b>Whatever it was, when Moses came to Levan, he was like water—cold, deep, unpredictable, and, like the pond up the canyon, dangerous, because you could never see what was beneath the surface. And just like I'd done all my life, I jumped in head first, even though I'd been forbidden. But this time, I drowned.</b></i></blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Just like Georgia, I found myself quickly drowning in Moses. I seem to gravitate towards the broken and Moses could not have been more so. I found myself completely fascinated by his character and constantly wanting more of him. Every time we got to be in his point of view would end up pulling me deeper into his character. The only downside to that was that it could be so heartbreaking at times. Knowing exactly from his own mind how deeply he viewed himself as nothing or worthless or...I don't know. It's really hard to put into words. He made my heart heavy and I just wanted to hug him, convince him he was wrong.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i></i></b></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i>"I'm a very ordinary girl, Moses. I know that I am. And I always will be. I can't paint. I don't know who Vermeer is, or Manet for that matter. But if you think ordinary can be beautiful, that gives me hope. And maybe sometime you'll think about me when you need an escape from the hurt in your head."</i></b></blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My love for Georgia was right up there with my love for Moses. I loved her small town, country girl attitude. I loved her heart and compassion. I loved her tenacity, her complete and total stubbornness. I think what made me love her the most was the fact that she saw something beautiful and worth knowing in Moses. Something that goes beyond the pretty yet intimidating outer package. When everyone else was afraid of him and automatically assumed the worst, Georgia believed in him and ran towards him instead of away, hard as he tried to push her away himself.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Like I said there was a paranormal aspect to Moses's character that was a complete surprise to me. Normally surprises like that, going in expecting one thing and getting another, end up irritating me but it had the complete opposite effect in this case. It added so much more to this story and added this deeper emotional element that, in my opinion, it wouldn't have had without it. I feel so cryptic with not telling you what was so special about Moses but I really think it's one of those you need to read to find out things.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<i>The Law of Moses </i>was everything I was needing and expecting from an emotional read. It also surprised me at every turn. The characters are complex and complicated in all the best ways. I found it impossible to put down and found myself dreading the final chapter. I wish I could've stayed in this world and with these characters for just a little bit longer. If you love a book that will turn you upside down and inside out then I highly recommend this one.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I am currently alternating through both of these books. I don't want to <i style="font-weight: bold;">not </i>read. And I feel like if I tried to binge just straight through the <i>Under the Never Sky </i>series then I'd have long periods where I just don't pick up a book. I've read a lot of fantasy/sci-fi over the last few months and so I've really been needing to break that up a bit before I get sick of it and stay away from it entirely. Though I probably should have mixed it up with some other contemporary because now I think I'm <i style="font-weight: bold;">too </i>hooked on the <i>Marked Men</i>! Loving both though!!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
When Tate Collins meets airline pilot Miles Archer, she knows it isn’t love at first sight. They wouldn’t even go so far as to consider themselves friends. The only thing Tate and Miles have in common is an undeniable mutual attraction. Once their desires are out in the open, they realize they have the perfect set-up. He doesn’t want love, she doesn’t have time for love, so that just leaves the sex. Their arrangement could be surprisingly seamless, as long as Tate can stick to the only two rules Miles has for her.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Never ask about the past.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Don’t expect a future.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They think they can handle it, but realize almost immediately they can’t handle it at all.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hearts get infiltrated.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Promises get broken.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Rules get shattered.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Why, Colleen Hoover? Why? Why do you constantly insist on pulverizing my feelings?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sigh.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's okay. I still love you.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I always think that I'm emotionally ready to pick up one of her books. Yet every time I do she proves to me how wrong I was. I thought I had some idea where things were going to go with <i>Ugly Love </i>and for the second time in this paragraph, I admit that I was very wrong. Maybe the lesson here is I need to just stop thinking altogether. <br />
<br />
Even though I'm a person who believes that the whole "friends with benefits" thing, or I guess in the case of Tate and Miles acquaintances with benefits, will never, ever work, I absolutely love reading a book with this trope. They always seem to prove my point that for at least one person in a relationship of this type, feelings will inevitably be impossible to avoid. You can tell yourself that you won't get your heart involved but I always feel like it's an impossible mission. I don't know, maybe I'm just not a cold enough person and I'm too much heart. But regardless on how you view the FWB game...I'm addicted to reading about them.<br />
<br />
Loved both Tate and Miles. Granted, I had moments of pure and utter frustration with both of them from time to time as I made my way through their story. In the case of Miles it was his constant mixed signals. He would preach one thing but his actions would say something completely different. Had I ever at any point felt like he was doing this on purpose I would be writing a totally different review all together. However, it's practically impossible not to love Miles, especially as the story goes on and you learn his deep dark secrets. Then that practically slips away and it's just inevitable. Miles's story completely ripped my heart to pieces. It was dust. Like, I am surprised there was anything left of it to put back together. He is my new favorite Colleen Hoover book boy!<br />
<br />
Tate was also a really great character. Tate was essentially every single girl who's met a great guy and walked into a situation with her eyes wide open, knowing all the rules...and couldn't help but break every single one of them. Which I guess is why at times she could be so frustrating. She did stupid things because of a boy she lost her heart to and sure at times the relationship was pretty unhealthy but I respect every direction her character went in. Why? Because it was so damn real. She saw something in Miles that was worth all the heartache, tears and pain and we do crazy things when we're in love. Therefore, I loved Tate and how real she was.<br />
<br />
I really don't know where else to go from here. So I guess it's time to just go ahead and wrap this one up!</div>

There is something so addicting about picking up a Colleen Hoover book. You know it's bad for you (emotionally), you know it's going to hurt you. It's not going to be fluffy and puppies and rainbows. Yet like every addict out there, getting your hands on that next fix is so satisfying and you can't wait to lose yourself in the moment and ride the high it gives you. <i>Ugly Love</i> toyed with my emotions and I can't even hate it for that. It was beautiful and heartbreaking and heartwarming all at the same time. And I loved every single emotion and feeling it pulled me through. I'm already ready for my next CoHo fix.</div>

The must reads, the must listens, and the must sees (This can be ANYTHING that catches our eye. Other blogs, bookish things, pictures, etc)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Okay, so you need to be warned right now. If you are watching the Shadowhunters and are not yet caught up through episode 12** you will need to stop before you hit my "Must See" section. Don't worry I will leave plenty of space so that you can get up to my "Must Listen" without seeing what comes next so you can close it. But after watching that episode this weekend I've sort of got a one track mind and I don't want any complaining about *spoilers*. On with the showwwww!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I read these first 3 books in <i>The White Rabbit Chronicles </i>at the end of March and became pretty obsessed. It was a series that, <i>for me at least</i>, really did a number on my feels. It brought me to incredible highs and then the types of lows that had me yelling at my Kindle and leaving status updates on Goodreads that were basically all caps. Yeah, I got pretty invested haha.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This song has been stuck in my head for a freaking week. This is not a complaint! I found it through the Discover Weekly playlist on Spotify back in 2015 and it's probably one of my favorites that I've "discovered" from there.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">A few days ago my kiddo gets out of the shower and comes downstairs as I'm singing it very loudly and of course when I see him I then start singing even louder <i>to him</i>. He stops and I'm about to laugh because I was expecting "<i>Mom, just stop...</i>" Instead what I get is "...<i>what the crap? I was </i>just <i>listening to that</i>..." and a look like this O_O Apparently he was gonna try to introduce me to this one as well.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Okay that should do it.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am unapologetically addicted to the Shadowhunters show on Freeform. Is the show amazing? No. Is the show great? Not really. Is the show...pretty good? Sure. I'll give it a pretty good. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In a nut shell? There are about a zillion things that bug me. Stuff is all out of timeline and some things are just wrong. Even when I try to separate show from books and just look at it as a show, there are still things that bug the ever loving crap out of me.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"So why do you watch it Sheri?"</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm glad you asked person who is being completely nosy and stuff! Basically...if it's Shadowhunter related, apparently I become instantly obsessed and will watch it no matter how painful it is. If this show lasts for 20 seasons and never improved I would probably be watching all 20. It's a sickness people. And...I don't care. I've even rewatched the movie, which I hated....twice. <b>This is what it means to have an addiction! </b>I have no control over what my heart makes me do!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">What can I say? It's starting to grow on me.</span></div>

<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MJzH7cvYnl0/VpUF8hivt0I/AAAAAAAAMG8/lGoE1ZOJrYoWmlNDb8vb565HRx-Habnqw/s1600/WhatsOnMyTBRDot01.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MJzH7cvYnl0/VpUF8hivt0I/AAAAAAAAMG8/lGoE1ZOJrYoWmlNDb8vb565HRx-Habnqw/s1600/WhatsOnMyTBRDot01.png" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I feel like for the first few months of doing this that I've done really well with setting realistic goals for myself. Proof being that I actually read everything on March's TBR and then some...a lot on the some. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For April however, I'm throwing that safe and realistic attitude out the window. See, I've found myself in a position once again where I have accumulated so many books that are first in a series a good number by authors I have never read any books of yet. I'll see something that intrigues me and think "<i>Ohh! I want to try this!" </i>Except they're building up like crazy now and so I've decided that I'm just gonna spend the next few months trying new things!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So there are going to be a huge pile of books on this TBR and hopefully I'll clear out a lot of them and whatever is left will add on to May along with probably some new ones, and so on.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My Series a Month for April will be the <i>Under the Never Sky </i>series which I am excited to finally read. And besides that my biggest priority will be finishing the <i>Marked Men, The Bane Chronicles, Fangirl, The Selection </i>(so I can get it back to the library), <i>Us, </i>and then just pick off all of the first books in series one by one and get in as many as I can.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Quite literally adding these two on at the last minute. I had this post typed up and ready to go since last week but the day before it was scheduled to go up 2 books I've been waiting for at the library became available. Didn't feel like redoing this entire post and like I think I mentioned earlier, anything that doesn't get read this month will be added to the next anyway. So excited for both of these! After my series a month is read these will be the first ones I grab for :D</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><strike>20</strike> 22 books is quite a lot and I have no false hope that I'll get through every single one. But I also realistically know that there's a chance I could end up DNFing a few of them. I mean I really hope not! But it's possible...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So I'm really, really excited to start tackling April's TBR! I'm sure I'll be rubbing the sleep out of my eyes as I crack open the first book and start on my mission!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Have you read any of these?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Are there any books that you're looking forward to getting read in April?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Good luck with all of your goals this month and Happy April! :)</span></div>

<b><i>Shadow and Bone Summary:</i></b></div>
<div style="color: black; text-align: justify;">
<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Alina Starkov doesn't expect much from life. Orphaned by the Border Wars, she is sure of only one thing: her best friend, Mal--and her inconvenient crush on him. Until the day their army regiment enters the Fold, a swath of unnatural darkness crawling with monsters. When their convoy is attacked and Mal is brutally injured, Alina reveals a dormant power not even she knew existed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ripped from everything she knows, Alina is taken to the royal court to be trained as a member of the Grisha, the magical elite led by the mysterious Darkling. With Alina's extraordinary power in his arsenal, he believes they can finally destroy the Fold. Now Alina must find a way to master her untamed gift and somehow fit into her new life without Mal by her side. But nothing in this lavish world is what it seems. As the threat to the kingdom mounts and her dangerous attraction to the Darkling grows, Alina will uncover a secret that could tear her heart--and her country--in two.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I had read <i>Shadow and Bone </i>once before back in April of 2015. I loved it. I loved the world, I loved the characters, it was all pretty perfect. For whatever reason though I couldn't quite move on to <i>Siege and Storm</i>. I did try and probably made it through the first couple chapters but then I just put it aside and didn't pick it back up again until a couple weeks ago. I think a huge part of it is the fact that Fantasy books can be so very emotionally draining. I mean, when you pick up a Contemporary 99% of the time you're dealing with just emotions and the "will they, won't they" aspect of a story. With Fantasy, or at least the best ones in my opinion, the romance takes a backseat to everything else. There's wars, there's revolutions, there's betrayals, there's death...there's just so much and they can twist and pull at your heart, as <i>The Grisha </i>did with mine, that sometimes I'm just not ready for all of that.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Oh cheese and rice am I glad that I made this trilogy my Series a Month pick for March this year. There were so many highs and lows, I'm pretty sure I even texted a friend and all capsed the heck out of her when things would seem like they'd never be happy again. I also think I used the F word a lot. So, yeah. It really threw me for an emotional loop but oh man was it worth it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Alina kicks so much ass. I think her imperfections are what made her so freaking perfect in my eyes. She was so consistently selfless throughout most of the book, but she also had her moments where you could see temptations really grab hold of her in kind of that manic way that some temptations do and I worried constantly if she would remain the Alina I loved so much, who was fierce and strong and wanted to do so much good, all the way to the end. It was pretty nerve wracking!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mal was just...amazing. Like I am so far beyond the smitten kitten it's ridiculous. He really tugged at my heart so often. The way he always felt out of place or on the outside. I think there was only one moment where he truly disappointed me and made me pretty angry even. I'm sure if you've read this series you know exactly the moment I speak of. Oh, Mal. I think what kept my love for him so strong though was, even when he wasn't exactly happy with her, he was always protecting Alina and willing to help her even if he disagreed.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Darkling is one of the most perfect antagonists, in my opinion. He not only inspired my hatred for most of the book, but there were moments, even though they were fleeting, where he tapped into my compassionate side. I always want to believe that people aren't born evil and that environment plays a huge role in how they come to be. Though maybe I'm just giving him more credit than he deserves. I'm not afraid to admit that I did shed a few tears for him at one point. What can I say I'm a huge sap!</div>

I could honestly sit here for hours and talk about this series. The things I loved, the things I hated. The things I figured out early on, the things that completely took me by surprise. The characters who I wanted to hate so very much but they made me love them anyway (*gives Nikolai the look*). This series systematically ripped my heart to shreds from <i>Shadow and Bone </i>all the way to <i>Ruin and Rising </i>before finally swooping in at the end to stitch it back together again. Brilliant YA Fantasy!</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Holy books, Batman! Not only did I crush my March TBR, but I ended up adding quite a few more after that. I mean, by mid month I had already read all the books I <i style="font-weight: bold;">wanted </i>to get read and so I just kept pulling them off my shelf.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm never like this. But it was like I would finish a book and then I would be extremely fidgety. As if I couldn't sit still. And the only thing that fixed that was picking up another book. I may end up coming to regret it because who knows how much of each of the books I read I absorbed, but I couldn't stop myself.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Even though the <i>White Rabbit Chronicles </i>destroyed me this month, this book also destroyed my soul but in a completely different way. It's the kind of book that I will carry with me for a long, long time. Sigh. I wanna read it again now. I miss Moses.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I have read plenty of Middle Grade books over the years and have absolutely loved them. So when I say that the immaturity level of this book and the writing style annoyed the ever loving crap out of me it's not a thing where "<i>oh maybe you're just too old to read MG" </i>that's definitely not the case. The appeal of this book was just lost on me and it was not my kind of thing. Don't hate me if you loved this book I'm not trying to say anything against you personally, trust me I'm sure there are <b>tons </b>of books that I've loved that would make you look at me funny! We all have different tastes and this one wasn't mine!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I've been in the midst of a review writing block for about 3 months now. But one of the days when I was trying to keep myself from consuming another book so shortly after finishing the previous one I went on a review writing spree. So I finally have something to list here! (I haven't written one since....sigh)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This series is just insane. It would crush me, then fix a little bit of the broken parts, then crush me again in this endless loop. I became a little bit broken and a whole lot obsessed. And ever since finishing this one I'm stalking my OverDrive account a couple times a day to see if <i>A Mad Zombie Party </i>is any closer to being delivered to my Kindle yet. Sigh. Just looked. Still 2 people ahead of me. Jerkfaces!</span></div>

<b><i>Clockwork Angel Summary:</i></b></div>
<div style="color: black; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In a time when Shadowhunters are barely winning the fight against the forces of darkness, one battle will change the course of history forever. Welcome to the Infernal Devices trilogy, a stunning and dangerous prequel to the New York Times bestselling Mortal Instruments series.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The year is 1878. Tessa Gray descends into London’s dark supernatural underworld in search of her missing brother. She soon discovers that her only allies are the demon-slaying Shadowhunters—including Will and Jem, the mysterious boys she is attracted to. Soon they find themselves up against the Pandemonium Club, a secret organization of vampires, demons, warlocks, and humans. Equipped with a magical army of unstoppable clockwork creatures, the Club is out to rule the British Empire, and only Tessa and her allies can stop them...</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
After I first finished <i>The Mortal Instruments </i>I didn't think there'd be any way possible for any other books set in this world to touch that feeling that they left me with. I knew everyone would always say that <i>The Infernal Devices </i>is so much better, it's their favorite, etc. But I felt so strongly over the fact that this wouldn't be the case with me. I mean I was on such a Shadowhunter high after I got done with <i>City of Heavenly Fire </i>it just seemed impossible.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I'm not afraid to admit when I'm wrong. (That was me admitting it...)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
First off, let me just say, the emotional turmoil that I suffered throughout this series, most especially through <i>Clockwork Princess</i>, was just unreal. I can honestly say that I have never cried so much over a book as I did with that one. Do you think I can get Cassandra Clare to foot the bill for therapy? No? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I love how this series was not only set in a different country but also it's a step back in time. Getting to see some of the history of these strong Shadowhunter families and how they've been entwined together over a century. Connecting events or people or objects from both the past and the present. Seeing family heirlooms from where they originated and the deeper meanings behind them. I found myself, well, giddy for lack of a better word whenever connections were made.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
While I was completely obsessed with all the characters from TMI series, the ones in TID were just that much <i style="font-weight: bold;">more </i>for me. And I'm not just talking about the holy trinity that is Tessa, Will and Jem. I mean all of them. The ones who made me hate them and absolutely insane with rage. The ones who made me love them and experience their highs and lows with them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Of course I had my one character who stood out from the rest and I know that most people are very much Team Will, Team Herondale but...now I loved Will I truly, truly did...but I fell irrevocably and completely in love with Jem. Sigh. It was instant and unstoppable. I honestly see the appeal everyone has for Will because I truly felt that either direction that Tessa's heart went, had it been Will or had it been Jem, I would never have been too upset about it. Okay maybe just a little. But I would've been at peace either way.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The whole sort of steampunk aspect to this book was just the coolest. I loved the mix of clockwork things in a historical London setting. Plus it made for some truly "<i>how in the heck are they gonna get out of this?" </i>types of situations. I was on the edge of my seat...a lot.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
It was also interesting, yet completely horrifying, to see or at least understand better a little bit of the history between the Shadowhunter world and the downworlders. To really understand where this hate and mistrust comes from between the different groups of supernaturals and the nephilim. Some of the stories made me absolutely sick and then hate some of the old school Shadowhunter generation myself!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I am thoroughly obsessed with the Shadowhunter world and this series has brought my obsession to a whole new level. I know there may be some people who will disagree with me but I do not want Cassandra Clare to ever stop putting out books set in this world. I feel like I'll probably go through a major bout of depression when she's finally done for good. Though thankfully that seems like it's not going to be for a while yet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I loved this jump back in history. I loved the steampunk influence. I loved all of the connections between both series. Most of all I loved this new bunch of characters. And finally...Jem is everything. Your arguments mean nothing. :)</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">So my song for this week is another one I have thanked my kiddo for introducing me to.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I still haven't gone further and listened to more of Moon Taxi because my obsession with this song has not yet died down. Seriously I could listen to this forever. Like I hear the opening beats and it puts me in a happy mood! Loving. It.</span></center>

<span style="font-size: large;">I have been on such a classic movie kick for the last week. I added so many classics/musicals to my Netflix DVD queue it isn't even funny. Of course my mom is loving it as well because she steals them from me haha. So this week I'll go with my favorite. I swear I was born in the wrong era most days. When I was growing up I had such a crush on Gene Kelly. So it's not surprise that one of my favorite classics is:</span></div>

<center>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I need to get that DVD because it was painful sending it back to Netflix this weekend :(</span></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">On an UNhumorous note, when my brother brought this to me to switch it out for the other DVD I had for my mom he looks at the envelope and sees the date it was released (1952) and says "<i>Hey isn't that the year you were born?</i>" with an evil grin. Funny guy! I didn't beat him up enough when we were kids obviously.</span></center>

<span style="font-size: large;">March, while definitely being a smaller month book haul wise, was still a tiny bit big. I had originally only planned to buy 2 books that I needed for my series a month pick for April...but being me, I didn't exactly stick to those 2 books. I'm not murdering people and the only drugs I do are the ones that are prescribed to me! Just let me have this! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">So I haven't used the library in what seems like forever. In fact I think my now 19-year-old was still in elementary school the last time I was there. That's pretty tragic. But I was desperate to get my hands on a couple books from a series I started towards the end of this month and I couldn't buy them yet but the library saved me! My mini library haul...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sixteen-year-old and not-so-openly gay Simon Spier prefers to save his drama for the school musical. But when an email falls into the wrong hands, his secret is at risk of being thrust into the spotlight. Now Simon is actually being blackmailed: if he doesn’t play wingman for class clown Martin, his sexual identity will become everyone’s business. Worse, the privacy of Blue, the pen name of the boy he’s been emailing, will be compromised.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With some messy dynamics emerging in his once tight-knit group of friends, and his email correspondence with Blue growing more flirtatious every day, Simon’s junior year has suddenly gotten all kinds of complicated. Now, change-averse Simon has to find a way to step out of his comfort zone before he’s pushed out—without alienating his friends, compromising himself, or fumbling a shot at happiness with the most confusing, adorable guy he’s never met.</div>

After finishing <i>Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda</i> I felt like I had finally found my book. You know how we all have that book, or series, where even if we aren't much of a book pusher we wished we had like a million copies of this <i>one</i> book so that we could just hand them out to every person we come across and just be like, "you have to read this!" Plus I was already willing to proclaim this, in February mind you, that this will be my favorite contemporary of 2016. What can I say, when I fall in love with something I fall hard.<br />
<br />
Simon was just a really fun character and I absolutely adored him. He had me feeling all sorts of things for him. I was either grinning at his quirkiness, getting angry in a stabby kind of way on his behalf, and he even made me cry a couple of times. I was impressed with how authentic that Simon's character felt. As a mama of a teenage boy I felt like he could've easily fit into his circle of friends and actually been real. Becky Albertalli did such a wonderful job with not just a teenage voice but a <i>male </i>teenage voice. I don't often feel like many authors pull this off in such a way that makes you really believe them. But I unequivocally say that in my opinion she's nailed it.<br />
<br />
I often found myself giggling as I read this, not just because the story was pleasing me so much but also because I found myself in a constant argument in my head with Simon. Yeah, I don't normally have conversations in my head with characters, I'm not crazy haha! Anyway. His idea with who Blue actually was and who I thought he was were totally different. Oh by the way, Simon? I told you so... He was just so adorably clueless sometimes and it would crack me up. Although Becky did do a good job of having me doubt how sure I was about him. Sometimes I felt like maybe I was projecting who I desperately wanted it to be and I was going to be disappointed. Thankfully that wasn't the case!<br />
<br />
Once again I've found a book with such an amazing cast of supporting characters. And the diversity of the characters just added to it's appeal. From his circle of friends and acquaintances to his family I found myself loving each and every one. Especially one of his best friends Abby. Like I legit want to put her in my pocket and carry her around everywhere she's that much fun. There was only one who I truly loathed which I guess you're really supposed to because through much of the book he's basically a prick. He would be the person who made me want to get stabby as I mentioned above.<br />
<br />
I loved how gradual this relationship between Simon and Blue happens. It seems like when we first start it's just like this really strong friendship. They're kind of the only two people who can really understand each other. Plus the mystery of it all is fun. I mean, we know who Simon is but the guessing game of trying to figure out who is behind the screen name Blue. I also loved how there would be entire chapters just dedicated to their email exchanges. The friendly banter which evolves to tentative flirting. The struggles of wanting to just be open and honest and true with everyone but the fear of the "what ifs" of actually doing it. The angst was just enough. Not overwhelming but also not light enough to feel unnatural.<br />
<br />
It's just that perfect amount of Young Adult romance. Sometimes I forget how much I miss them when I've gone through a huge binge of Adult or New Adult books. Sometimes it's nice to have everything sweet and light and have it leave you feeling just as much as if you were to read something more graphic. Ahh! So many warm and fuzzies right now.<br />

I loved this book. I loved it! I want everyone in the world to read it so we can feel all the warm and fuzzies and talk about all the things. I wanted it to last forever and couldn't accept the fact that it was over when I read the last words. This is a book that I will, without a doubt, be reading again and again because it's one of those books that will guarantee my happiness and a huge smile. I loved it! (Just in case I hadn't stressed it enough at this point!)</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I had been struggling quite a bit with this one. At one point yesterday I was like 180 something pages in and I still couldn't tell if I liked it or not.

<span style="font-size: large;">Must seem like I'm on some sort of Sarah Dessen kick haha. Anyway. After 3 books now (almost at least) I'll say I enjoy her writing but her books are always a slow, gradual appreciation for me. It has taken quite a bit for me to decide if I like each one of them I've read but I always eventually do. So in the end they're worth the slow start for me.</span></div>

<i>It was Sloane</i> who yanked Emily out of her shell and made life 100% interesting. But right before what should have been the most epic summer, Sloane just…disappears. All she leaves behind is a to-do list.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On it, thirteen Sloane-inspired tasks that Emily would normally never try. But what if they could bring her best friend back?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Apple picking at night?</i> Okay, easy enough.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Dance until dawn?</i> Sure. Why not?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Kiss a stranger?</i> Um... </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Emily now has this unexpected summer, and the help of Frank Porter (<i>totally</i> unexpected), to check things off Sloane's list. Who knows what she’ll find?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Go skinny-dipping?</i> Wait...what? </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Do you know how nerve wracking it is to go into a book that <i style="font-weight: bold;">everyone </i>loves? Seriously. Everyone loves this book and Morgan Matson in general. I was really nervous that I was going to find it overly hyped. I mean, I have previously read <i>Amy & Roger </i>a few years back and while I had liked it I didn't love that one as much as everyone else seems to do. If you were to ask me if I thought you should read it my response would probably be, "eh, if you want to" as I shrugged it off. It was cute but I wasn't a huge fangirl. So knowing that added even more to my nerves. But I grasped on to those few shreds of hope that I had because of the fact that that blurb was just so intriguing!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I think initially I allowed all that doubt and worry shadow my reading experience. I started out not liking Emily. I felt like she was being overly dramatic and had some intense codependency issues. Which granted I still feel were true in the very beginning and sporadically throughout the rest. But as the book wore on I actually really started to like her. It was fun to watch her blossom and embrace the things that would paralyze her with fear...eventually. She went from someone I felt was too timid and slightly annoying to someone who was fun and exciting and I was cheering for as I went on.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I loved, loved, loved the whole concept behind the to-do list. When you first see the list and the thirteen items on it a bunch of them make no sense at the time while others, the ones listed above being a perfect example, are crystal clear. But I loved the fact that there were some that didn't mean anything at the beginning. It was fun trying to puzzle them out before they were eventually revealed. (Which I did not accomplish by the way haha) But it was also fun because even though Sloane isn't there as Emily goes on this summer long adventure in finding herself, and hopefully her friend, you get to know the crazy, free spirited Sloane as well as Emily ticks each item off and learn what each one of the them means to both of them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I shipped Frank with Emily so hard from the moment he appears in the book. He's one of those genuinely good guys. It's his sweet thoughtfulness and how full of ambition he is. Or the fact that he seems to be at ease in any setting. I loved how easily he pulled Emily into his life and kind of became her new rock and helped her grow and encouraged her.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There was a huge number of supporting characters as well that were each so different and full of personality that really added some fun to the story as well. Everyone was just so much fun that I didn't want this book to end. Quite a difference from when I started it that's for sure!</div>

Even though <i>Since You've Been Gone </i>started out a bit rough for me, it didn't take long until I fell under it's spell and absolutely fell in love with it. I wanted to be friends with all the characters and wished I could have had that crazy unexpected summer along with them for real! Mostly this book was just plain fun. It tugs at your heart in many different ways and had me sad to see it end. I now can't wait to jump into my next book by Morgan Matson!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have read (more like consumed) so many good books since the start of the year with only a very, very few being absolutely disappointing so I basically sat here and eenie meenie miney mo'ed it to decide what to go with this week. I love Colleen Hoover. She punches me in the feels every single time I pick up one of her books. This one was no different. Like, I thought I had it all figured out and it turns out I was wrong, as I often am, and what I thought was a worse case scenario wasn't even close to the reality. So, so good.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So I'm combining this section this week, though not because the music is part of the show but because the artist and the main character are married in real life so I figured they should be lumped together. So first for the music.</span></div>

<center style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I also like Runaway but it's not my absolute favorite. Mostly just these two. Though Supermoon is one that I end up getting into one of those obsessive listening sessions with where I have it on repeat all day for like a week. It's different, but like I've said in the past my musical tastes are pretty eclectic! :D</span></center>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Back in December I was talking to someone about a bunch of old shows that we used to love and one was brought up that I realized I still hadn't seen the last half of the final season of. So I specifically added DVDs back into my Netflix account back in January so that I could rewatch the whole show and finally see how they ended the 3rd and final season. So I've become reobsessed with...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Obviously I started watching it in the first place because Matt Dallas is just delicious but then I actually fell in love with the show and it's been <b>so much fun </b>rewatching. Currently in the middle of Season 2 so I'm close to where I left off!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I do apologize because I know this is kind of a crappy one to put as a "must see" because it's not like it's easily accessible, but for anyone who <i style="font-weight: bold;">can </i>get it I highly recommend it if you never watched it back in 2006/09! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Plus I honestly have nothing else worth putting in this section this week because I have been on a reading binge. I wasn't joking when I said consumed up there. I read a book put it</span><span style="font-size: large;"> down and within an hour tops I've moved on to the next book. I rarely get like this so I'm taking advantage and ignoring anything else and just become a junkie!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Some loves will last ’til your dying breath</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Every choice has consequences—but seventeen-year-old Layla faces tougher choices than most. Light or darkness. Wickedly sexy demon prince Roth, or Zayne, the gorgeous, protective Warden she never thought could be hers. Hardest of all, Layla has to decide which side of herself to trust.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Layla has a new problem, too. A Lilin—the deadliest of demons—has been unleashed, wreaking havoc on those around her…including her best friend. To keep Sam from a fate much, much worse than death, Layla must strike a deal with the enemy while saving her city—and her race—from destruction.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Torn between two worlds and two different boys, Layla has no certainties, least of all survival, especially when an old bargain comes back to haunt them all. But sometimes, when secrets are everywhere and the truth seems unknowable, you have to listen to your heart, pick a side—and then fight like hell…</div>

</div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have to make a confession. I feel like I have committed a huge, bookish cardinal sin. Maybe I should explain the reason before I just blurt it out. See this book has been weighing on me. The whole Roth versus Zayne thing has had me more freaked out than normal to finish a series. I love a good love triangle but this one is so different because I was not putting my trust in the author to make a decision on how this would turn out, I was putting it in my peers. That's a tough pill to swallow! And if I'm being honest...had I known that before I ever read the first book...I might have never started this series in the first place which sucks to even think about. This whole thing is the reason that, even though I pre-ordered <i>Every Last Breath </i>and received it on release day, I waited until now to finally stop procrastinating and just finish the series.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was only about 15-20 pages in but I just couldn't put my heart into it. It wasn't holding my attention. My brain just kept going <i>Zayne? Roth? </i><i>Zayne? Roth? </i><i>Zayne? Roth? </i>It just wouldn't stop! I needed to know so I could quiet my head and embrace this book fully. I knew deep down that either way it went, no matter what would happen with <i style="font-weight: bold;">my </i>ship I would be able to finish the book in peace if only I knew.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sigh.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I stopped where I was...and read the last page before I went on.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I know! I feel so wrong saying it! Unclean. But you know what? It worked.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Okay. Enough of being silly. I really won't be able to say a whole lot about this book since it's the final book in a series so it's hard to come up with a lot to say that wouldn't be spoiler-ish in any way. Even though on the inside my heart is screaming all of the things that it wants me to talk about.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Once I finally got into it this book was really hard to put down. It's been a while since I finished the previous books so I was worried going in that I'd feel a bit lost without going back and rereading. But it didn't take long before I fell back into this world easily and everything came rushing back.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What I love about JLA's books is that she knows how to write a really strong and ass kicking heroine. Layla is no exception. I feel like this final book is where I loved her character the most. She had so much weighing on her throughout the entire book and I loved how even though she was scared on the inside, outwardly she rarely let that show and she had her head on straight when I feel like the average person would crack under everything that was on her shoulders and in her mind.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The other thing I love about her books is her boys. She writes the boys that you instantly fall for, the ones who even when they're being cocky as all hell make you want to smile and sigh and make you fall even harder. Roth and Zayne are both perfect examples. They both have such good qualities to them that deep down I knew that however it went I could've been happy. Though I did have my hopes set a wee bit higher on one side before going in. But that's all I'm going to say about that.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's difficult to really try to think of anything else to say. I mean there's a million things I'd love to go on and on and on about but this review would end up way too long and...you people who haven't read this one yet would end up hating me for saying to much. So I'll just leave it at this.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
This book, heck this whole series, had everything I've come to expect from Jennifer L. Armentrout. An ass kicking, badass heroine. Swoon worthy guys you'll lose your heart over. Hilarious banter and laugh out loud moments. It filled me up with so many different emotions. One minute I'd be laughing so hard and the next my heart's being ripped out of my chest. You really feel everything when you step into one of her worlds and I couldn't have asked for a better conclusion.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Also this week, I recently finished <i>Since You've Been Gone</i>. And in the past I hadn't been the "ultimate" Morgan Matson fangirl. I had read <i>Amy & Roger </i>like 3 or 4 years ago and it was just <i>okay </i>for me. So after reading SYBG and reluctantly falling completely in love with it I'm more on the Morgan Matson bandwagon and I can't wait to read this one in May. Plus that cover is just so much fun!!!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
To find the truth, you've got to be willing to hear it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When she's modeling, Annabel is the picture of perfection.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But her real life is far from perfect.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fortunately, she's got Owen. He's intense, music-obsessed, and dedicated to always telling the truth.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And most of all, he's determined to make Annabel happy... </div>

</div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I will admit that I was pretty intimidated and worried before starting <i>Just Listen. </i>I feel like if you're a huge reader and most especially a part of this community, and let's face it if you're here and reading this you obviously are since my blog isn't exactly a huge thing, then you know the name Sara Dessen. I mean, look at that cover up there. The book title is just kind of there small and tiny and the thing that really pops out at you is her name all big and bold. I could probably barely count on one hand the number of bad things that I've heard about any of her books and even then it would be a struggle to think of something.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So much hype but in my case it's all in the name. Until finishing this I couldn't have told you a single one of her book titles off the top of my head or what they were about except for the fact that she writes good contemporary romances and possibly they were YA or at least some of them were. That's a lot of pressure going in! I knew I always wanted to read one of her books though and so one day when I found a few of them on BookOutlet I thought why not?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sticking with the whole honesty route, things were just kind of average in the beginning. I wasn't immediately feeling anything special. I was enjoying it but it was just a plain old contemporary for me. And if you asked me I couldn't put a finger on the moment when that changed for me. When something inside of me clicked, all I know is all of a sudden I just...got it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I don't think I've ever identified more with a character or felt that deep connection with one as I did the more I go to know Annabel. Well, except for the fact that she's a model which I obviously wouldn't connect with and this one traumatic event she goes through. But that aside, the more I read the more I thought this was me in high school, eerily so. I had my own Sophie and I lost my own Clarke because of my Sophie. Which I realize how vague that sounds unless you've read it so I apologize. But besides that it's the way that she can't deal with confrontations or how most of the time she won't always say exactly what's on her mind to avoid the possibility of hurting someone or someone being angry with her. So many things. I only wish I would've had my own Owen to help me work through it all. Sigh. Annabel 1, Sheri 0.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I had assumed before starting this book that her books would just be light, fluffy fun. And while it had it's moments there was also a whole lot of heavy that I was <i style="font-weight: bold;">not </i>expecting. And the way she dealt with it all and the way that all of her characters grew and changed felt so extremely natural and real. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I guess I should point out while talking about the heavy that there is a big trigger warning with this book in the form of attempted rape. And I hate putting it out there because it's less of a surprise but since that could be a trigger for some people I feel it's better to not go in and be surprised. Plus, honestly, it's not hard to guess the event will eventually come out. There's a sentence 24 pages in that completely gives it away in my opinion. If it's not something you couldn't figure out on your own based off that sentence, well then...I wish I lived in your happy bubble of a world where that type of thing wouldn't cross my mind. I'm not being snarky I do truly wish rape wouldn't be a thing my mind would jump to.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<i>Just Listen </i>took me completely by surprise. I went in expecting an average light hearted contemporary young adult book. What I got was a story full of heart and complex characters. A story that delved into both family dynamics and those between friends. It touched on a form of mental health and other traumatic situations and dealt with them respectfully and in my opinion accurately. It's relatable and real. I loved it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Was the hype warranted? Well I've only read one book right now so I guess I'll just say that <i style="font-weight: bold;">so far </i>I'm impressed and I'm more excited to give the other 2 books of hers I own a shot!</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Had to do a quick little browse through my reading journal to try and remember what I've been reading and loving lately and I just recently finished this one. It is also my first book I've read by Sarah Dessen. It wasn't anything I was expecting, which was just light and fluffy and sugary sweet romance. And it kind of was those things but it was also kinda heavy and dark and I just really, really loved it. Though if you do go to pick it up just a trigger warning for attempted rape so you might want to keep that in mind.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">So if you saw my posts for the previous two weeks I gave you my first (FOB) and second (PATD) of my top 3 most favorite bands of all time and so this week I'll go with my number 3 and just complete my list. My musical tastes are heavily eclectic. So while this isn't the farthest stretch from the first 2 bands it's still quite different. Oh dear, I just realized picking songs is going to be really hard.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This section stumps me nearly every week. And normally I throw up some random YouTube video that I'm loving but I really have no idea what one I would even go for. So instead I'm going to introduce (maybe) you to a show that my son and I have recently gotten into that has us cracking up every week. Now, not gonna lie... it's very juvenile humor. And probably a bit ridiculous...but we love it. So if that's your thing and you haven't watched it yet I highly suggest Those Who Can't.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I have no words. I mean I really and truly don't. This series was amazing. The world, the characters, the writing style, the story that had me on edge and so absorbed with it that I lost track of time often. I'm not kidding I don't think it's ever happened as strongly as it would here. I'd pick it up being less than 100 pages in and thinking to myself "Ugh! This is going to take forever and I need to know what happens next so bad!" and then the next thing I know I'm nearly finished, tired and hungry because I've forgotten to eat. Worth it.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">So this just released and even though I should have waited a couple weeks before I bought it for many reasons, I found myself unable to resist and really wanting more Jamie and Wes. Badly. So if I don't end up sneaking this in this month it will most definitely be on April's TBR. I don't think I can wait much longer than that!! Eeep!</span></div>

I've read all but one of her books, the one that just released a few weeks ago, and I have loved every single one. She is an author that I know I can always depend on to give me all the feels and leave me finishing her books with a smile. I neeeeeed this one to hurry up!!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I seem to be doing well with giving myself 10 books each month. Granted I did skip 1 last month but I'll pick it up again in a few months time. But 10 seems to be the magical number that I can stick to without overwhelming myself plus giving me some wiggle room if stuff pops up that I just can't keep my hands off of.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am so looking forward to all of my books this month and I think the only problem is going to be the internal struggle with what order do I read things in? Though I think I have that all worked out in my head already. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A lot more contemporary than I went for last month but I really don't want to burn myself out by sticking too much to one genre.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So that's it! Bring it on March! I think this may be the very first month I will complete my entire monthly TBR! *Fingers crossed*</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Watch. I've just jinxed myself and I'll end up DNFing something. Sigh...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Happy Freaking March!!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">February was such a good month for me reading wise. For the first time ever I just about finished my entire monthly TBR goal. There was only one book out of the ten that I wanted to read that I did not finish. But I'll get to that and the reasons in just a sec. But first here's what my month looked like.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">So I'm sure a lot of you are thinking, <i>"Wait a minute. You didn't read what was probably the best book on your February TBR? You could've skipped those extra four and read Illuminae! You disappoint me..."</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hold on there Judgey McJudgerpants! I actually had plenty of time to finish Illuminae as well. When I started it in the middle of the month I got around 27% done but I got to a part where I realized that I was spoiled on something that is probably a bit minor but still large enough that it irritated me. And it's not like I was out searching for spoilers I simply opened Twitter one day and saw a status update. Sigh. I'll eventually get back to it. Maybe in a few months. But I was just too irked to move on at that point. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">So this book started off great. I mean, the first 100 pages or so I was so invested and intrigued and just really into it! And then it just started to get...strange. Like not in a good way kind of strange. And then once that strangeness became obvious to me, other things started to jump out at me too. Like how freaking awkward and unnatural the dialogue was and how...I don't know. I'll just leave it at that. Still probably one of my most favorite book covers of all time. I just wish the inside matched the outside. :( Do not recommend....</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The Monday Musts is a new feature created by Jessica from <a href="http://lovinloslibros.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Lovin' los libros</a> where we share with you each week all the musts you're missing out on. The must reads, the must listens, and the must sees (This can be ANYTHING that catches our eye. Other blogs, bookish things, pictures, etc)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Here's the thing. I've felt this very strong need lately to really branch out and grab things that are out of my usual normal. Maybe even out of my comfort zone or at the very least straddling that line. Which is something I plan to start incorporating very soon. (I think I just heard my debit card sobbing and begging me to stay off of BookOutlet. We'll see how that works!)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyway. This definitely wasn't one of those kinds of reads for me but it was my first graphic novel when all I've read in the past are straight comics. So for people who might be thinking "Oh I'd love to give a graphic novel a try but I have no idea where to start" Well I'm definitely not the expert to give advice on such a thing but in <i style="font-weight: bold;">my opinion </i>this would be a great start. Now it <b>is </b><i>almost </i>500 pages but trust me I read it in less than a day. The story is captivating, the artwork is beautiful and it totally annihilated my feels!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This was probably my most favorite read of 2015.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">In my lineup of top 3 musical groups of all time Panic! would actually come in at second. I think the next two weeks I'll do both my first and third favorites as well. But the last few weeks I've been on a major Panic! kick (currently listening as I type up this post) so I figured I'd throw this one up first. I'm usually partially deaf by the end of the day after listening nonstop so....what?</span></div>

Yeah...so my 19 year old walked by as I was doing "research" for this post with this last video and all he could say is "holy crap mom!" and laugh and walk away as I turned 50 shades of red. Sigh. I feel so dirty!</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">So when I threw this post together in the middle of last week I had something else entirely for this section which I'm now going to save for next week instead. Here's the thing. Full House...was my childhood. I know it's cheesy and silly and like I don't even care. I loved that show. I still catch it on Nickelodeon on occasion. So Friday when Fuller House hit Netflix...I was all over that. I completely binged the first season. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Guys....I freaking love it! I was so scared because you're taking this iconic show, this thing that, like I said, <i style="font-weight: bold;">was </i>my childhood. I mean what if they messed it up? No need to worry there!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So if you're a lover of Full House like I am and haven't watched Fuller House yet or have been on the fence about giving it a shot then I say go for it! Give it a try! I laughed so hard and it even made me cry twice!</span></div>
