My Thoughts:
This is my first John Green book and I cant wait to read if there this good. I loved this book though I didn't cry, however it was still very heart wrenching. Gosh I love how Hazel and Augustus meet in support group and that they bounded over a book. Both of there sense of humors where prefect for each other. Augustus is my favorite character because he doesn't let things to really get to him. He's a great friend, and have a joke for pretty much everything. Hazel was a sarcastic piece of work and I love that her and her mom are so close. Isaac is a great character and wish there was more of him. I hated the twist, but only because I didn't see it coming and my heart nearly broke because of it. The traveling aspect was cool except for the fact that you find out that Peter Van Houten is a drunken jerk who like to crush dreams. Hazels mother is rock star and though her dad is a very emotional guy they both are supportive of  their daughter which is great.
    In conclusion even though this book have to do with cancer kids. It still have humor and heart felt moments that I hope they bring out in the movie.

review

I know I haven't been overly active on here as of late and that's because I have been getting more

books then reading. however I have finished Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion and have a YouTube

video up of it if you want to check it out. I have other books to review but haven't gotten around to

them yet but hopefully soon.

March Wrap Up

I got through eight books these month which am very proud of. It beats my 4 of last month. Anyway two of the eight where paperbacks and the rest is ebooks. My eight books these month was:

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak I of course gave it 5/5 because everything about it was cute and you just get sucked right in.

Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion which I gave a 5/5 and wished that the movie stuck more to the book then it did. 

How to Love by Katie Cotugno was a cute contemporary book about first love and how to come back to each other. I gave this book a 5/5 for pure cuteness. 

Losing it and Keeping Her by Cora Carmack. I gave Losing It a 3/5 I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought and liked the concept but the flow wasn't there. Now Keeping Her is the novella to the first book and I gave that one a 5/5 because I enjoyed it much more. 

Vampire Academy and Frostbite by Richelle Mead. I gave Vampire Academy a 4/5 just because the pacing was a little slow in the beginning, but about halfway I really got into it. The second book Frostbite got a 5/5 because I enjoyed these book from beginning to end and couldn't put it down. The thing about the Vampire Academy series is that I didn't relieve there was such a mystery to it and am really enjoying the series for the first time.

Tainted by K.A Robinson was the last book I just got in at the of the month and am proud of that. This is the last book of the Torn series and was told in three parts. All around I gave this book a 4/5 and if you haven't started the series you should. 

Am deciding on my April TBR but do have some books I want to get through this month and so am still going though that. And when I have decide I'll post my TBR list. Until then happy reading :)

The Book Thief Review

 

Author: Markus Zusak
pages: 552
rating: 5/5
format: paperback
Summary:It is 1939. Nazi Germany. The country is holding its breath. Death has never been busier, and will become busier still.

Liesel Meminger is a foster girl living outside of Munich, who scratches out a meager existence for herself by stealing when she encounters something she can’t resist–books. With the help of her accordion-playing foster father, she learns to read and shares her stolen books with her neighbors during bombing raids as well as with the Jewish man hidden in her basement.

In superbly crafted writing that burns with intensity, award-winning author Markus Zusak, author of I Am the Messenger, has given us one of the most enduring stories of our time. -Goodreads

My Thoughts: Its very rare when I cry reading a book and I believe the last time that happen is My Sisters Keepers by Jodi Picoult. This book makes you fall in love with all the characters and the relationships. Watching Liesel grow from the shy girl to her growing up and being more herself throughout the book. The point of view of The Book Thief is unique in itself since its told by Death himself. “They say that war is death's best friend, but I must offer you a different point of view on that one. To me, war is like the new boss who expects the impossible. He stands over your shoulder repeating one thin, incessantly: 'Get it done, get it done.' So you work harder. You get the job done. The boss, however, does not thank you. He asks for more.” which is a interesting to see that he's like us working class and not just a glumly figure who takes dead souls.
    As I said the relationships have to be my favorite part and there are so many I can't choose one. There's Liesel and her foster father Hans who came grew for the nightmares and learning to read. Then there is the is the relationship between Liesel and Rudy her next door best friend and how they insult each other then Rudy asking for a kiss. Lastly I have to mention Liesel and Max they had a special relationship thanks to words themselves and it was always interesting to read. There are other reactions in this book like with Liesel foster mother Rosa or the mayors wife Ilsa and the other people of Himmel Street. However the ones I mention are the ones that really where was the ones I enjoyed reading about.
     This book brings a lot of things out of you while reading and the last part of the book could possibly make you cry. But you still should read this book for the character relationships, the neat point of view and because its just a must read.

💑Decision on Romance in Books💏

     Happy Valentines Day to those who actual celebrate me. I like to believe it doesn't exist. Its not because am single or hate romance am just the very Valentine Day person. When I think romance my first thought is always books and how they involved to that next level. Books that involve romance in it I look at all them differently. Like there is those type of where its at first sight type of deals and I don't like those. For the fact it's not realistic to me, and sometimes I like to read books that I can pretend that can really happen. But know it really can't. Another thing love triangles are pretty much in everything right now and I wish that they weren't so many so that I don't have to choose who I like more. Than get disappointed when they don't get together like I want them to. 

    My favorite kind of romance is the ones that start out slow and just grows. Because that's more realistic to me than love at first sight does. Also banter is my favorite thing you wouldn't believe how much crap I get for laughing while reading in front of my brother. He's not a reader so he wouldn't get why it's funny, and that sometimes while reading you show your enjoyment on your face. 

     I know it's actual the day after Valentines Day but since I was at work until midnight I couldn't get this written. I was watching top 5 literary Couples on BookTube and that's what got me thinking about this. If I could make up my own list it would be something like this...

(Not in any real order).  

1. Katy & Daemon  from the Lux series by Jennifer L. Armentrout. I love how there relationship started and that it didn't really start until the second book. Still the banter between these two characters are the best especially since their supposed to hate each other. And the make out sections where a must read.

2. Anna & Saint Claire from Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins. These shouldn't surprise anyone whose read this book. Even though it was a back and forth which is frustrating at times. However I love  how they became friends before becoming more and that's how relationships should start.

3.Alec & Jamie from The Bride by Julie Garwood. This is a personal favorite and simple love this book. Both characters are head strong thanks to their Scottish roots, and that's the best part. They both grow to love each other but doesn't want to give an inch to each other.

4. Gage & Cybil from the  Pagan Stone third book in the Sign of Seven by Nora Roberts. I loved all three book however this the third book has to be my favorite. Gage is a badass smart mouth and though Cybil is business like she has a backbone of steel. Which is why she works so will with Gage. You could see the relationship began in the first two however this one really show to strong people come together.

5. Tucker & Clara from the Unearthly by Cynthia Hand. I love how their relationship grew and laughed all the way there. I love during the holiday how they because a lot more than two people who hated then tolerated then grew to love. 

  And there you go i hope everyone has a fun Valentines Days for those who celebrate it and read some good romances.
