Nicole Hadley (380 KP) rated What About Me?: Seeing Yourself the Way God Sees You in Books
Jun 16, 2018
What About Me? by Vicki Courtney addresses the very issues almost every young girl faces in an easy-to-read style, as if they were sitting down together over a cup of hot chocolate. Each chapter has QR codes to scan that link to videos of real and darling girls answering questions like "What makes someone beautiful 'on the inside'"?
The book contains four chapters which are Mirror, Mirror, That Thing You Do, Get More Likes, and The Truth of the Matter.
The first chapter; Mirror, Mirror is about self awareness and what God says about inner beauty; accepting your body shape and appearance; not comparing yourself to someone else. The second chapter; That Thing You Do is about God-given gifts and talents; emotional ups and downs of this age group; problems with exaggerating to make ourselves more appealing; our worth is not tied into failures; handling middle school; dealing with pressure. The third chapter; Get More Likes is about choosing God's way or the popular crowd's way; accepting who you are; those embarrassing moments; bullying, boys. Lastly, the fourth chapter; The Truth of the Matter is about what does God think about you; feeling valued; being a princess and an heir; having a relationship with Jesus.
In between each chapter are quizzes, relevant bible verses, advice from high school girls, and "Letter to My Daughter". Reading this book can change the perspective in young girls about themselves and their world. It can solidify their relationship with Jesus and enrich their relationship with God.
I received this book from B&H Publishing Group and B&H Kids via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Bong Mines Entertainment (15 KP) rated Feel Again - Single by HAYL in Music
Jul 10, 2019
HAYL is an up-and-coming singer-songwriter based in Nashville, TN. Not too long ago, she released a heartfelt indie-pop ballad, entitled, “Feel Again”.
“This song is a piano ballad expressing how numb I felt in my relationship with a past lover. Him cheating, me half-heartedly forgiving him, and covering up the fact that we were in a messy, confusing, unhealthy cycle. It’s about him never letting me in emotionally and us hanging on to each other’s brokenness.” – HAYL
‘Feel Again’ tells an interesting tale of a young woman who is head-over-heels in love with a guy who she shares a problematic relationship with.
Apparently, she feels that he has taken advantage of her weakness. After many weeping sessions, she has no more tears left to cry and just wants to feel being loved by someone again.
Later, she admits that she’s addicted to the above-mentioned individual and wants to know why he’s so good at saying goodbye.
‘Feel Again’ contains a bittersweet storyline, pleasing vocals, and lush instrumentation scented with sentimental elements.
“I opened up my heart and wrote this song in 45 minutes with co-writer, Forrest Finn. I still get really emotional thinking back on that relationship, feeling sad that I felt trapped and helpless. This cover artwork is symbolic of me covering up my heart with lies I believed that became my truth. I hope this song heals the heartbroken and is hope for those who have lost love. That there is beauty after the pain and that you deserve to feel that again.” – HAYL

Great Read
I haven't read any other books like this. The world is very unique, and is centered around gambling. The story is told in alternating perspective which is great because Levi and Enne come from such different backgrounds. They are not always honest with each other, but the reader still knows the truth about everything that is going on. I'm really looking forward to seeing how Enne's character develops in the second book, and if her relationship with Levi will continue to grow.
Auburn (57 KP) rated Maybe it's You in Books
Apr 10, 2019
When I requested this book I was looking at it as a cute NA romance read. It has so much more depth than that. This focuses more on romance and a connection to God. Labeled as a Christian fiction this book does not disappoint on that front. The main character Reagan becomes closer in her relationship with God in such a way that anyone going through something similar would be able to relate.
While I enjoyed the book it wasn't very memorable for me.

May 7, 2019
I couldn't wait for this next book in the series and it didn't disappoint one bit. I absolutely loved it. this book is probably a bit steamer than the other two. the main characters relationship has a lot of twists and turns. you are hoping it turns out okay for them. this book answers some of the questions from the first two books. cant wait for the forth and fifth books to see how the story ends.

Classic Action Film
I have finally got round to seeing this and watched the extended version. This is a great film about the relationship between a Hitman and a 12 year old girl left orphaned after her family is killed. It is violent without being too graphic or brutal. This is nothing like your typical action, assassin film and has some great scenes between the two lead characters. A little strange but a classic and I'm not surprised it has reached a cult status.

Contains spoilers, click to show
The first three-quarters of this book was brilliant. The scenes were set perfectly, the suspense was building to crazy proportions and my heart was racing at times. The book was let down by it's ending and the introduction of Vic. I wanted there to be a twist, the first one, where we learn of the relationship between Ashley and Mark was good and unexpected, but the second one, the addition of Vic, was poor and ineffective. A pretty good book overall but could've been better.
