Eliza and Her Monsters
Francesca Zappia | 2017 | Romance, Young Adult (YA)
5/5 applauding stars for Eliza, oh .. oh my, can I just say that the pie portion of this book was my absolute favourite thing I have read in a while - like how adorable and cute and just .. ugh I want to go back and just re-read that portion of the book again and again it was just too darn EVERYTHING.

This book was so good - to me - and adorable and sweet and.. at the end a bit frustrating (hello Wallace it's not all about YOU). Anxiety is a witch and panic attacks are no joke, and when I first had one I was like, what the F I went to a walk in clinic said my heart rate was just insane and I felt dizzy and like I was going to faint and they were like easy peasy diagnosis. I was like, girl, I get you this was ...I'll definitely re-read, recommend, hug, love, adore this book forever.
  
Justified Means (The Agency Files, #1)

Have you ever been hooked on a book by the first page?

I was with this book by Chautona Havig. Justified Means was based off the question, what if a company had to kidnap a person to keep them safe without letting them know? Chautona Havig does a fantastic job with this book and answering that question. I loved the action packed chapters, the realistic attitudes of the characters, and the faith based foundation of this book. I loved the characters in Justified Means. They were well crafted, great arcs in their dialogue, and I LOVED how Chautona Havig weaved in the story of redemption. Plus, the overall story and mystery/ suspense was compelling and really fun to read.

I give this book 5 out of 5 stars and I am sooo looking forward to reading the next book in the Agency series.

*I volunteered to read this book in return for my honestfeed back. The thoughts and opinions expressed within are my own.

3.75/ 5 Warning! Trigger book!.

I DNF'd this book and no not because it was at all bad. It hit many spots that were still sensitive to me and it was just the intensity of it that made me put it down. The only reason this didn't get a full four stars was because i didn't feel as thought the main characters had much of a beginning at all, He had barley said anything to her and then they were making out. I kind of wished they went a little more into the relationship as a whole, not only explained bits and pieces through thought. But still a very intense book.

Grab the tissues, this one’s about to get upsetting. Marley & Me is a film that only animal lovers will understand and if you’re not an animal lover – why not? Released in 2008 to critical and commercial success, Marley & Me follows the life of one crazy Labrador: Marley and his family.

Aniston stars alongside Owen Wilson and gives a powerful and multi-faceted performance that is one of the best in her entire career. Aniston is a well-known animal lover and her emotion in this film is absolutely astounding. She plays the role with an understated brilliance that only she could.

Sun and Shade by Mary Lindeen is an early level reader science book. The photographs are beautiful and show the difference between sun and shade. Showing the difference helps young readers understand what they are reading easier. The pictures show the difference between sunshine and shade, moist and dry, the position of the sun in the solar system. High frequency words are used which helps the reader add to their vocabulary.  

I would love to have this book in my classroom library. 

I give this book 4.5/5 stars. 

I received this book from Norwood House Press via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I was so excited to read this story just from the cover and blurb. Although it's "middle-grade", I found it immensely enjoyable, and I laughed myself silly quite a bit. Who wouldn't want to read a young boy exploring a zombie cave and trying to find pirate treasure? I definitely wouldn't want to BE said explorer, but Mick's story is awesome, and I couldn't put the book down until I'd finished it (and made notes right along with him as to what I'd need should I ever decide to pursue this adventure...).

5 stars!

I absolutely loved it from beginning to end. Amira is a beautiful character who really comes into her own, and Caeden is the type of man every girl dreams of: a lover, a fighter, a protector. The world of Cashile sounds like such a beautiful place, and the imagery used to describe it makes it seem so real, I can almost touch it.

I'm definitely interested in what happens following the end of this book, and I'm keeping this author on my list to keep up with in the future. =)

5 stars!
