I read 'Tell Me Something' pretty much in one sitting. When I had to put it down, I couldn't wait to pick it back up. It was super sexy and I loved the story. Personally, I prefer when the couple have to fight to get together (whether it's each other or their own personal issues), but Aubrey made it work and I enjoyed it! There were a few grammar issues and misspelled words, but that didn't take anything from the story itself.

**SPOILER ALERT**

I was a little disappointed that Haylee ended up pregnant before Josh could completely confess his love for her. Though Aubrey did a good job at making it obvious Josh was dedicated to Haylee before she revealed the pregnancy, I still felt a little like the baby had a part in his decision.
Other than this, which still didn't take away from how much I enjoyed the book, I loved 'Tell Me Something' and look forward to reading more from this series!

In a well ordered universe I wouldn't be left with so many questions! I loved this book,it's a story about friendship and finding out who you really are when your not in someone elses shadow. No matter how much you love and admire that person. As someone with social anxiety, I found Emily to be very relatable, and much braver than I if I had been handed this list.This book took me back to being a teenager and some of the summers I had, (none as eventful as this story!) A story of friendship and romance! My only little niggle is I want to know if she mends things with Dawn and Collins and if Gideon finds his perfect girl ( I have a rather large soft spot for him) In truth I wanted Emily to fall in love with him instead because he seemed so sweet, but I can't have everything!

I just finished reading Hotel Magnifique by Emily J Taylor. This book is about a magical hotel that only comes around once and a while. In it Jani discovers the disturbing secrets of "Hotel Magnifique." I chose to read this book by discovering it on Bookishfirst. I loved the cover it caught my attention it's so pretty so I decided to read the description and look it up on Booktok. I'm glad I did I loved it it's a wonderful interesting story. It's one I wish I could read again. Let's be honest Jani was irritating at first though but I understood their reasoning for it. If you can get past that it's a definite amazing read. If you love fantasy and magical stories definitely read this.

So the cover what I love about it is the feathers surrounding the clock and key the person who designed the cover did a really good job 5/5 for the cover 4/5 for the story.

I'm in two minds about this book. It centres around a main character who is intentionally detestable and just an all round horrible spineless idiot. This is good in a way as it means the author has done a great job of writing the character, however I think i might have hated him too much as I found him too irritating and frustrating after a while. It's a shame really as I found the rest of the story very interesting and the ending was refreshingly different.

I was totally the same. Hated the protagonist. But I guess maybe the author's trying to ask - did he deserve it?

This is a review of the entire series. I know it has a lot of back and forth ratings but I thoroughly enjoyed this. If you like Inuyasha, Fushigi Yuugi, or any other series where the heroine has something special about them and are surrounded by abnormal characters who support and care for her, as well as a romantic interest, I think you'll enjoy this. I read the entire series in 3 days and had a hard time putting it down. Give it a chance.

I had heard good things about this book but the reviews were mixed. so I decided to give it a go and I'm glad I did. I really enjoyed it, it took a little bit to get into but then it just flies. this is defiantly a roller coaster of a story. the author has a brilliant way of writing the scenes so they are intense and very passionate which will suck you into the story.

Could have been a 5 star book I think - It was a bit lacking in some areas - why was it so repetitive sometimes? I get you're a chemist, etc. - I think it'd have been fun to learn more on that as far as making the weapons, etc. However, where the book shines is 100% in the dog arena. That was my favourite part of the whole book, when will there be a dog what's happening OMG :P I'm a pet person what can I say.

If you are a Buffy fan, you will love this.
Recently rewatched this after being a huge fan when it was first on TV. I still loved it. I like the case by case episodes and the way the personal relationships are built. There is a comedic value in Angel that you just don't get in Buffy, it makes it feel a little more grown up. I am still a fan of Buffy, however, I think they got the formula better with Angel.

Album Favorite

"I used to have a huge collection of film soundtracks. I don’t get enthusiastic about them any more, though, because now most soundtracks are just a collection of rock songs, half of which don’t even appear in the movie. This is a real classic. It has a great min theme which brings the movie right into your head. All the tracks hold up – it’s so damn effective. It took me ages to get hold of a copy, and, Jeez, I almost wept when I finally did."

"This was a surprise when I first saw it, and it remains a surprise. I initially viewed it on an old VHS cassette (lent to me by a friend) taped off of late-night TV back in the 1980s (commercials and all). It really wasn’t what I expected. Its low-budget veneer faked me out. I figured it for an amateur snore-fest, but the movie turned out to be a truly otherworldly experience capturing some quality of the dislocative feelings of a nightmare."
