Winter by Melissa Meyer

One of my all time fav book top three actually. The charters kept me spell bound to the book I love love love the ending to the book and all the magical,kisses that gave a happy ending. I know that it took me a long time to read all 800+ pages but let me say I started to savior the book at the end, I just didn't want it to end. Speaking of Stars Above comes out next month and again I am planing on going to the signing healed in Seattle.  I have started a writing class as my inspiration has come from this local author. I am planning on submitting to a contest that is fantasy, and most likely getting a rejection letter back. It's for the fun it that I decided to do this and I am very excited. What is my short story about well if I told you it wouldn't be a surprise. But this does not mean that I am not reading because I am. My book club gal has read mind readers by Lori Brighton I was hooked by page two I suggest this book to others if your a kindle fan it is free on there right now for a limited time. 

first book of the year

Illuminae
by amie kaufman  and jay kristoff

This was not per my norm of books for me. This is a science fiction, about a computer that makes decisions for the human race. This starts of very high schoolish about a girl braking up with her boyfriend the end of the world happens as bombs start falling from the sky and they somehow end up together fighting for their lives. They make it to a base that help them escape earth but on separate ships. One was hurt the other was fine. as the story progresses you get a sense that something is not adding up that maybe someone or something is messing with the files. Katie is one of the main characters that is upset and broke up with Azera he is on the alexander and ha been promoted to a fighter in the ship. he will be flying and fighting off the Lincoln (which is the bad "guys" that attacked earth). spoiler alert  Azera dies right here but you don't know it he actually died defending the ships against the enemy. however Aiden the computer uses Katie's feelings to intercept emails between her and Azera allowing Aiden to trap her into his plan to save the human race and to lead her to her death. I will not say how this part actually plays out but I have to say for being out of my normal reading list I enjoyed the book !! I would not recommend this to young kids or teenagers under the age of 15 as the language in the book is harsh.

2016 books!

Am I excited about the new year! My goal is to read three books a month equaling out to about 24 books this year. I don't work off a list because reading books has to deal with what kind of mood your in. With that said I am thinking about re-reading Harry Potter as the new Harry Potter world in universal studios opens April 17 2016! Wishing I could go, but with our new member to our family probably won't happen this year! Also I am thinking of reading the nancy drew books ! Also mortal instruments is being made into a tv show? Super excited!  To all the book readers out there do you have any book lists for 2016?
