3.75 stars (just to be awkward).

I liked the road-trip aspect and their diversion from Amy's mums plan for them. I liked their gentle roll into something more than friendship. I liked a lot of the people they met on their detour.

What I wasn't so keen on was the ending. I like a definite HEA and I'm sure they'll meet up again but it wasn't a certain thing and that's a big "Hmm..." point for me which is why I've marked it down a quarter star because other than that I enjoyed their story.

I may even have to make a "road-trip" shelf and search out more books.

I was so involved in the road-trip and the little pictures shown throughout the story that I actually stalked their journey using google maps.
  
I read this way in the beginning of the year. So forgive me if I can not remember much about it. It been that long since i read the book.

I know that i enjoyed it and that the romance is something. I know she is trying to find the truth about something what that a surprise to find out by reading. I know it a free on barnes and Noble and I still think it might be. If you want you could read it and it cost you nothing and also it about amish a bit and a mystery mixed in as well.
  
I remember reading this book when I was a kid in elementary school, found it in my local used book shop, and had to pick it up. Not going to lie, I used to be terrified of these books, but I still read them because I secretly loved being scared. Rereading it, it was a fun book with so many Poe allusions (which were amazing since he is my favorite Poe-t, lol). I can say for a fact I liked these books much more when I was a child, but it was still fun to revisit my childhood books. So, yeah, nostalgic read number three of the year.

I didn't get a chance to see this in cinema but I bought the DVD for this as soon as it was released as I was really excited for it. It was a very good movie and I really liked it. It was funny and the actors did a great job. I find the plot very interesting and I can't wait to see what happens in part 2. The only thing is I didn't find it very scary, not sure if it's just me, but I found more parts funny than scary in this one. Hopefully the next one is a bit scarier as well as just as good and funny.

This was an adorably sweet story. I love good vs evil and I love angels so this was a plus on so many levels. I was happy with the characters and I was sad with them. The writing made me feel with them and made me feel as if I was in the story with them. I love when a writer yanks me into the story so I am part of it with the characters. Damascus was awesome but I will admit... his brother was hotter ;) I know he wasn't the "good" one but what can I say... I love a good bad boy. Amelia was very strong and smart. She was pretty and sassy and I loved her character. I loved who she was and how she loved. I was glad that it wasn't just a "wam bam we love each other no issues" type story. They had issues, they had happiness and sadness, and it wasn't easy. It was a very good story and I would recommend it to my YA loving friends for sure.

Longview by Green Day

"""When I was in high school, I was a little rebellious,"" Levine said. ""I wanted to play music. I didn't want to do the things they were teaching me. I picked up a guitar and that was it. The second I picked up a guitar, I never really put it down again. I fell so madly in love with it, it's all I did. It consumed my every thought, and I'd have friends over that didn't even play instruments and I would just put instruments in their hands."" "I remember hearing Green Day for the first time and being kind of blown away,"" Levine continued. ""When I heard 'Longview' on the radio, I was just kind of enamored by it. I was like, 'Wow, what's this?' It was very accessible, melodic rock and roll music, but it was a little pissed-off and obnoxious."
