This book reminded me, in the beginning at least, of the movie But I'm A Cheerleader. Just this book wasn't a comedy. After Lexi's dad dies her mom finds out she is gay and sends her to a de gayifying program. Lexi goes along hoping not to lose her mom even if she has to lose herself.

This book made me mad. I enjoyed it but the fact that this REALLY does happen to kids is horrible. The growth we see Lexi have throughout the book is incredible. Unfortunately she has to go through so much emotional pain and self hating to get there.

I would recommend this book not only to any LGBTQ person but alsothose family that may not be so accepting.

Adds new flavour to an already amazing series (0 more)
Never a dull moment
So, Harry has an apprentice and his life has been fairly quiet otherwise but a favour he owes to a powerful immortal is being called in.
I'm biased, I've said that in other reviews of Jim Butcher books, but even with my rose-tinted glasses on I can honestly say that each Dresden novel makes my heart beat a little faster upon reading that first page. I know I'm in for a treat. Sometimes the good guys get hurt, and badly, and Jim Butcher has made you invest in these characters so their pain hurts you a little.
I cannot recommend highly enough the novels of Jim Butcher.

Being able to contact friends and family from around the world without waiting to long for a response. (0 more)
Facebook is a brilliant idea but some people don't need to put on when they are doing personal and unimportant stuff. The adverts are a real pain especially if watching a video have the advert at the end of the video not ten seconds after its started. (0 more)
There are many useful things on Facebook and also many useless things when an update is being done I think asking the users what they want to see or remove might an idea but keep it to minimal amount otherwise no updates would get done I understand you can please everyone but would be nice if someone tried.

Read in one sitting!? Kristy has done it again... beautiful, moving, painful, heartbreaking, sexy.. there are just not enough words to describe the feelings when reading this book. Touching on very intense and personal subjects, she handles it beautifully. The pain, torment and fear that Haddie deals with shows you a new side to this crazy and full of life character, who is so weighed down by her fears and wanting to protect those she loves, yet she just can't admit how much she needs them too. Then, of course, there are some Rylee and Colton appearances, which is like seeing old friends. Can't say enough how much I loved this book... I cried, I laughed... wow, Kristy, just WOW!?

Hotholes for the win! I absolutely loved every second of Baron “Vicious” Spencer and Emilia “Millie” Le Blanc’s story. From the start, Shen creates the angst beautifully. I didn’t like the way Vicious was with Millie in the beginning but I knew he needed to be that way for the readers to get the fully effect of his torture, his pain, his anger. I loved how Millie was with him. The slow burn between them in the beginning was amazing and enough to set my heart on fire. When Vicious realizes his feelings…..well, let’s just say I’ve never been so jealous of a character before as I was of Millie! This book is definitely worthy of all the stars! Vicious is MINE!

I have gone on quite a bit about this one recently. I just think it is wonderful, and by far the best and least mawkishly sentimental work from Richard Curtis, of Love, Actually infamy. It makes me laugh so hard; the perfect awkwardness of Domhnal Gleason against the cute intelligence of Rachel McAdams; the exquisite turn by Bill Nighy as the time travelling father; and every small character and very British nuance in-between – it is such a pleasure. It also makes me cry… a lot! What I like about it is that it feels exactly like being in love. Exactly! There will be regret and pain, but in the end there is that one person that gets you and always will. And that idea… feels good!
