TOP TEN 2014 SPRING TBR PILE

This morning I woke up to hungry  happy birds chirping!! Spring is almost here. Better make sure my to-read pile is filled for spring, because nothing relaxes me more than reading outside.

The One by Kiera Cass

Comes out in May. We'll finally get to see how the series ends.

Grave Mercy by Robin LaFevers

Have kept this book on my nightstand for too long. Need to see what the hype is all about. 

We Were Liars by E. Lockhart

The plot seems different from what she usually writes. Intrigued by the change. 

Feed by Mira Grant

Been watching too many Walking Dead episodes lately. I need another zombie fix. 

After the End by Amy Plum

Loved the whole Revenants series and am looking forward to her new book in May.  

Easy by Tammara Webber

Came highly recommended from so many of you, so I just ordered my copy. Looking forward to it. 

Stupid and Contagious by Caprice Crane

Haven't read a Chick-lit in a looong time. Hope this one is good. 

Review: Don't Even Think About it

Ever wonder what your friends really think about you? Or if your crush wants to ask you out? 

Well, one high school group no longer has to wonder about the many thoughts of others. After receiving a bad flu shot batch, one class that includes Mackenzie, Olivia, and Tess, become telepathic. For Mackenzie this couldn't come at a worst time. She cheated on her boyfriend -- crowd lover Cooper -- and now has an entire classroom judging her actions and threatening to tell him. All the while, Olivia uses her powers to get ahead in class, and Tess tries to get a friend to see her with different eyes. 

There are lots of heartbreak and hurt feelings in the book, but nevertheless, Mlynowski brings that humoristic touch that has made her popular over the years. It's nice to read a ''supernatural'' story without the terrible bad guy written into the plot.

Q: Spring is in the air! Show off your favorite outdoor reading spot.

Got stuck in the snow today. Thankfully, three men were there to push my car, and make my terrible day not so bad after all.

At this point, I do not believe in Spring coming to Montreal. Ever! And feel selfish enough to ask for a cozy indoor place where someone would read to me.

Alive: Cover Reveal and Giveaway

A New Adult zombie/romance novel with an intrepid female lead that ponders on: What’s more dangerous—the man who broke her heart or those trying to eat it?

Fighting to survive, Eve finds herself alone in the world after the Crave—the only parallel of her former life. On the hunt for her sister, she runs into Gage—the first and only boy to have her heart and break it. It’s been four years and he isn’t a boy anymore, nor is he the same person he used to be. Against her better judgment, Eve agrees to stay with him when he divulges information on a safe haven near the small town they grew up in—but that doesn’t mean she has to like it… 

Returning home elicits a myriad of emotions that both Eve and Gage thought they had buried. The past and present collide and they are forced to the face bitter deceits that ruined them in the before and threaten to destroy them now…

Review: Blankets

Blankets are the image of warmth, shelter and comfort. But in Craig Thompson's graphic memoir, blankets are a synonym for ''personal demons.'' From his childhood memories of sharing a bed with his sibling and fighting for the blanket that brought on his father's unreasonable anger, to receiving a blanket from a love gone wrong.

Although incredibly gorgeous, the illustrations were black and white, allowing tough subjects like: bullying, the sexual guilt that Christian upbringing can have on children, and long-distance relationships to become the center of attention.

I recommend reading this book on a good day.
