Haley Mathiot (9 KP) rated I'll Seize the Day Tomorrow in Books

Is it bad that it took me a year to get to reading this book? Does that say something about me, or the book? Who knows.
Upon starting this bok I admit I had high expectations. I’m fairly spoiled when it comes to reading good books. And if a book isn’t something I like, I figure life is too short to waste my time reading it. The thing about this book is it was mildly entertaining, but if I want to read a book of funny personal essays, I’m going to read David Sedaris or the like. Sorry Mr. Goldstein, I’m just not diggin’ it.

This book captivated me from beginning to end. I knew something was wrong from the start because everything about the job seemed to good to be true. I didn't think it would turn out to be complex as it was but that made me want to read it more. I felt bad for Alice because she didn't do anything wrong and the people that set her up came after for something they thought her father did and it later turned out he did nothing. And the truth about the lawyer, didn't see that coming at all. I'll definitely have to check out more books by this author!

This book....this book is just fantastically written. I had no idea what it was about or hadn't heard anything about it before I picked it up because of the cover. Am I so glad that I did.
Enemies to lovers, mythology, and bloody battles are just some of the amazing things you will find in these pages. The best part? It doesn't leave you with a gigantic cliffhanger. Basically if you enjoy anything I listed above. ^^^ you will love this book. The writing and flow mash with a plot that is so wonderfully written you won't feel bored.
One of the best 2018 books I have read. Highly recommend!

I couldnt finish this book. It was so tedious and slow that I lost interest long before I could build on it. Nothing seems to happen despite everything. Not to mention, I hated reading over and over about the Beast. I understand rape is traumatic. It affects you in ways you dont even realize and you cant do anything about. However, I felt the author dedicated too much time building on this trauma instead of moving the story.
I may give it another try at a later date, but right now there are many more books able to keep my interest in ways this one couldnt.

I surprisingly enjoyed this book. I have tried reading one of Wells' books before and just couldn't get into it. This one shocked me. There are a lot of really cool theories about the future of the world with a great about of creepiness in it. I would recommend this to people who only have a short amount of time to read a book because this is only really 71 pages of novel, the rest are essays. The characters, though they did not really do much, were all pretty interesting. Look out for the light imagery throughout the novel, because there is a lot!

I am always excited for a new Rockton novel. This one did not disappoint. The action picks up immediately after the end of the last novel making the series run seamlessly. We get to find out a bit more about Casey, Rockton and its residents, which is a rich source material that author Kelley Armstrong knows how to utilize. Learning about Casey’s family was interesting although, in one of the very few issues with these books, it seems unbelievable that her parents would have behaved a certain way being “scientists” and considering themselves “overachieving medical geniuses”. Either way, Kelley Armstrong can do no wrong in my opinion. A must read!!

Wow!
Basically, without going into too much detail about the plot it’s about newly married Jane Forrester becomes a social worker in 1960’s Grace County she encounters families that are poor beyond her comprehension, events occur that will change her and the families lives forever.
It’s slightly depressing but the story is SO good and the ends justifies the means, literally! I don’t know why I seem to review books that end up making me cry, I guess I’m just a big softy. It’s not a romantic story, it’s political for the time. It’s worth reading if just for the ending!
