Sorry (AGAIN)

Hi guys just a super quick update. I have recorded my review of the most recent Julia Quinn book (I completed it over a month ago never posted because real life got in the way). But I will try my utmost to get that posted this weekend. I just wanted you guys to know I have something and I will try to get that done. I've been watching more and more TV thus reading less and less books. But I want to change that (been saying that a lot but haven't picked up my reading) Oh well all I can do is say that I tried!


Please stay in touch and I will try my best to get this page back to its former glory!!


Take care and Happy Reading!!

Low Pressure by Sandra Brown (Video Review)

Bellamy Lyston was only 12 years old when her older sister Susan was killed on a stormy Memorial Day. Bellamy's fear of storms is a legacy of the tornado that destroyed the crime scene along with her memory of what really happened during the day's most devastating moments.

Now, 18 years later, Bellamy has written a sensational, bestselling novel based on Susan's murder. Because the book was inspired by the tragic event that still pains her family, she published it under a pseudonym to protect them from unwanted publicity. But when an opportunistic reporter for a tabloid newspaper discovers that the book is based on fact, Bellamy's identity is exposed along with the family scandal. 

Moreover, Bellamy becomes the target of an unnamed assailant who either wants the truth about Susan's murder to remain unknown or, even more threatening, is determined to get vengeance for a man wrongfully accused and punished.

In order to identify her stalker, Bellamy must confront the ghosts of her past, including Dent Carter, Susan's wayward and reckless boyfriend -- and an original suspect in the murder case. Dent, with this and other stains on his past, is intent on clearing his name, and he needs Bellamy's sealed memory to do it. But her safeguarded recollections -once unlocked-pose dangers that neither could foresee and puts both their lives in peril.

As Bellamy delves deeper into the mystery surrounding Susan's slaying, she discovers disturbing elements of the crime which call into question the people she holds most dear. Haunted by partial memories, conflicted over her feelings for Dent, but determined to learn the truth, she won't stop until she reveals Susan's killer. 

That is, unless Susan's killer strikes her first...

Hey everyone! I'm here to bring you the video review of Sandra Brown's Low Pressure as promised!!

I hope you all are staying wonderful!!

Happy Reading!!

A Night to Surrender - Tessa Dare

Welcome to Spindle Cove, where ladies with delicate constitutions come for the sea air, and men in their prime are . . . nowhere to be found.

Or are they?

Spindle Cove is the destination of choice for certain types of well-bred young ladies: the painfully shy, young wives disenchanted with matrimony, and young girls too enchanted with the wrong men; it is a haven for those who live there.

Victor Bramwell, the new Earl of Rycliff, knows he doesn't belong here. So far as he can tell, there's nothing in this place but spinsters . . .and sheep. But he has no choice, he has orders togather a militia. It's a simple mission, made complicated by the spirited, exquisite Susanna Finch--a woman who is determined to save her personal utopia from the invasion of Bram's makeshift army.

Susanna has no use for aggravating men; Bram has sworn off interfering women. The scene is set for an epic battle; but who can be named the winner when both have so much to lose?

 

Hey guys I know I said that I was going to do a video review for Low Pressure but when I got home last night I looked at my (overflowing) bookshelf and saw this beauty glaring a hole in me. I started reading this book...gosh I know it has been over a year ago. I started it when I was going through some very personal and emotional things due to my father's illness and I lost all interest in everything even this book...the book was wonderful but my heart was just not in it...then last night I decided I was going to finish it and finish it I did!!

 

I'm so glad that I finally got through with this book and very happy with myself that I was able to pick up where I left off over a year ago without any trouble.

 

However, this review is going to be short and sweet...

 

Basically I absolutely adored this book and remembered why I fell in love with Tessa Dare's writing.

 

Also, Bram is definitely the epitome of a tortured hero and of course I loved him because I just have this thing with the whole tortured hero!

 

And Susanna was just absolutely awesome...she was the perfect match for our glowering, tortured hero!!

 

So please if you are looking for a wonderful story to read then definitely give this book a chance...immediately after finishing this one I bought the next book in the series A Week to be Wicked on my Kindle and I'm really looking forward to reading that one!!

 

Happy Reading,

Mindy

COMING SOON - BOOK REVIEW

Hey everyone I just wanted to drop a very quick note (probably my shortest post ever) that I will be doing a video review of Sandra Brown's Low Pressure.  I feel that this is just one of those books where a video review would be better than a written review. I hope to get that done sometime this week and now...back to my day job and tonight hopefully I will get started on Julia Quinn's latest installment in the Smythe-Smith series. I know I said I was going to read the last Crossfire book and then Game of Thrones but I forgot that this book was coming out!! See you guys hopefully in a few days with that video review!!

Happy Reading,
Mindy

Reflected in You - Sylvia Day

Gideon Cross. As beautiful and flawless on the outside as he was damaged and tormented on the inside. He was a bright, scorching flame that singed me with the darkest of pleasures. I couldn't stay away. I didn't want to. He was my addiction... my every desire... mine.

My past was as violent as his, and I was just as broken. We'd never work. It was too hard, too painful... except when it was perfect. Those moments when the driving hunger and desperate love were the most exquisite insanity.

We were bound by our need. And our passion would take us beyond our limits to the sweetest, sharpest edge of obsession...


HELLOOOOOOOO fellow book nerds!!

Man I feel like I really neglect not only this page but my beautiful bookcase full of books that are just waiting to be read and loved. I am such an awful book nerd...I mean how can I honestly call myself a book nerd anymore when I no longer read like I used to?? I really blame TV. All my extra time I used to spend reading I now spend watching TV. Really why do they have to have so many shows on TV that I like?

Anyway enough of that now on to a very ambiguous review...(LOL you'll see what I mean) 

I finished up the second installment in the Crossfire series about a month ago but have yet to blog about it. I thought about doing a video but I’m still not so sure about them because my last was such a fiasco. But hey maybe I will bite the bullet and try again for the book I’m currently reading Low Pressure by Sandra Brown. I do plan on finishing it then reading the last book in the Crossfire series and then no matter what reading the Game of Thrones books.

So I have to say I actually enjoyed this book (Reflected in You) much better than the first book. I just feel like this one had a little bit more "meat" to it. More story. It seemed to move at a faster pace than the other (when I actually sat my butt down and turned off the TV).

There is a huge and I mean HUGE thing that happens in the book concerning Eva’s former step-brother and I wish....OH HOW I WISH....I could expound on it but I don’t want to have that big of a spoiler here so if you need to know but haven’t read the book then....you’ll have to read it because I just can’t say *agh the agony of containing a secret*

Also, an old flame comes back into Eva’s life and throws her world for a little bit of a loop. Also, Eva starts to slowly piece together what happened to Gideon as a child and even confronts his mother about it...that was probably one of favorite scenes in the book. Also, she confronts his ex-fiancé too and that was as well a great scene!!

*SIDE NOTE* My favorite Gideon and Eva scene was on the airplane to Vegas...trust me!

Also, because of the GIANORMOUS secret involving Eva’s step-brother Gideon starts to distance himself from Eva and she thinks that he’s finally done with her even after going to couple’s therapy with her. She sees Gideon exit his office with his former fiancé and she sees what she thinks is lipstick on his collar but is it? (I know what it is after trolling on Sylvia Day’s website forum and someone asked if it was and she told him it wasn’t...aghhh again I can’t tell you because it would give too much away!!)

Like I said this book had a lot more story to it and I can’t wait to see what happens in the third book. I highly recommend this book and this series (along with the Fifty Shades of Grey series).

Okay my lovely followers I must go before I accidentally spew spoilers....LATER!!!

Happy Reading,
Mindy

Dead Ever After - Charlaine Harris

WOW FINALLY!! I finally got my video uploaded to YouTube. This was just a complete train wreck, LOL! I think it mainly had to do with the fact that the video is quite long...about 22 to be exact and in HD (I might need to rethink that in the future...hahahha!). I know but I absolutely love (obsessed) with this series so I did have quite a bit to say about the final installment.

I just want to say (as you’ll probably see in the video) I absolutely love (and I mean like seriously not healthy) love Eric Northman. I still to this day think that Charlaine Harris should have put Eric and Sookie together but I can’t change it and well it is what it is.

Also with that being said I was absolutely shocked that I actually liked it (after finding out about the leaked ending online). I went in wanting to hate it but I’m glad I kept an open mind and it allowed me to enjoy it.

I will say this though...I do NOT like how Charlaine Harris made Eric in this book (and that’s probably why I only gave it 3 stars).

Okay without further ado....

　
　

I hope you guys will enjoy and I’ll see ya soon!!

Happy Reading,

Technical Difficulties and YouTube

Hey everyone I just wanted to stop and make a quick note. I have started a YouTube channel. Which you can find HERE.

I just started it so there are no videos as of yet. And that is the reason for this post.

I have been for about a week or so trying to get my video uploaded with my review of the last Sookie Stackhouse book, Dead Ever After. 

I seem to be having issues with uploading first my format wasn't right and then when I did get it in the right one it took FOREVER to convert it in the editing software. 

NOW I finally got a chance to try to get it uploaded to YouTube and I started at 5pm today and as of now 12:57am it has only progressed 42%. Yep that's 7 hours and not even half way. 

I think it is because it is not only in HD but it is kinda of lengthy because I do love this series so I had a LOT to say about the ending. 

I will try again to get it uploaded but it might not be until this weekend since apparently it is going to take 12 hours or more on my laptop. 

So I hope I can get this done for you guys as soon as possible. 

So (fingers crossed) I can have it done this weekend. 

Happy Reading,
Mindy
