A Northern Light - Jennifer Donnelly


Okay, so this is a YA and people have been pestering me to read it so I did and I gotta say it is very different from my last read and my current one but it was cute. I did enjoy it but I don't think I was ready for it after reading The Lie. But who is reading for much after reading that? LOL

Well, I did like the teacher Ms. Wilcox. I literally got chills when I found out her true identity and also loved Weaver. I don't blame him for anything that he has ever done but i truly would love to know what happened to him after. It just kinda let it hanging in the air. The only real complaint I have about the book was that it ended very suddenly. I kind of felt like the writer has so many pages left to write and just jotted down the ending very quickly. Usually you have some sort of inclination of whats going on but the ending just jumped right in with no leading... You would probably know what I mean if you read it or will read it for that matter. It was a good read and a quick one as well. really not what I prefer but hey, I gave it a shot and I liked it!

Anyways, the book I am reading now it Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay.I am flying through it already! This is a book that I am reading for my work book club.

Finished The Lie


First off I would like to say that this book is like a car crash, you just can't look away. I am not really sure how I feel about it. I didn't hate it but I didn't love it yet I gave it 4 stars... It is hard to say what I thought. I hated all the characters but I felt myself hating Heather more so. I hated how she was. Why do I hate her more than Brett? Brett was egotistical and plain out disgusting but he was real and true. He never out up a front and was honest. And Kyle...Well i hoped the very best for him and I understand him, a little. You do dumb things for love and his might not have been the best but now his life is ruined and it seemed like it may have been going somewhere.

Oh and don't forget poor Erin! I hated every minute of Kyle and Erin's last meeting. I just wanted to reach in the book and punch him in the face! I was never hoping for their relationship to work. I actually didn't trust Kyle as much as I had in the beginning but what he did to her was just horrible! She really will never forget it and he may have ruined her idea of men for quite awhile. I am sure she will not be dating anytime soon.

I have to now read his first book, The Average American Male it didn't get great reviews but it seems to be flying off shelves and it is also soon to be a movie so it has to be some sort of good.

I am now reading a YA A Northern Light by Jennifer Donnelly. It is completely opposite for Chad Kultgen's book but it was next on my list so...?? I will let you know how it goes.
