Waiting On Wednesday My First Meme

I'm so excited I found this this Meme. Because I'm always finding books that I just can't wait till they come out. So for the first book I'm waiting for is:


Affliction
By Laurell K. Hamilton
Publication date: July 2nd
From Amazon:
Some zombies are raised. Others must be put down. Just ask Anita Blake.


Before now, she would have considered them merely off-putting, never dangerous. Before now, she had never heard of any of them causing human beings to perish in agony. But that’s all changed.

Micah’s estranged father lies dying, rotting away inside from some strange ailment that has his doctors whispering about “zombie disease.”
Anita makes her living off of zombies—but these aren’t the kind she knows so well. These creatures hunt in daylight, and are as fast and strong as vampires. If they bite you, you become just like them. And round and round it goes…
Where will it stop?Even Anita Blake doesn’t know.



Go to Breaking The Spine to say what other books, people are waiting for. :)




" I Just Want To Pee Alone“ Review

If you knew me, you would know I have the most horrible sense of humor. And by horrible I mean perveted, sadist, nobody else is laughing and I look like an idiot sense of humor. That being said when Kelley from http://www.kelleysbreakroomblog.com/ posted on Facebook that she was giving away a few digital copies of her collaboration with other Mom Bloggers, I was the first to sign up:)

From Amazon:
Motherhood is the toughest – and funniest – job you'll ever love. Raising kids is hard work. The pay sucks, your boss is a tyrant, and the working conditions are pitiful – you can't even take a bathroom break without being interrupted with another outrageous demand. Hasn't every mother said it before? “I just want to pee alone!” I Just Want to Pee Alone is a collection of hilarious essays from 37 of the most kick ass mom bloggers on the web.



Motherhood is the toughest – and funniest – job you'll ever love. Raising kids is hard work. The pay sucks, your boss is a tyrant, and the working conditions are pitiful – you can't even take a bathroom break without being interrupted with another outrageous demand. Hasn't every mother said it before? “I just want to pee alone!” I Just Want to Pee Alone is a collection of hilarious essays from 37 of the most kick ass mom bloggers on the web.

I can honestly tell you that I have find long lost sister friends in these bloggers. They had Me laughing so hard my nine year old came to see what all the fuss was about. The subjects range from funerals to sex. And I will never ever forget reading, "Come to wash Mom off?" If you are a Mom...of any kind...read this book. If you are a Dad and want to figure out was is going on in that sleep deprived head of your co-parent, read this book. If you are a teenager and want to know why your mom always seems on the verge of a killing spree, read this book. Now it is not for the easily offended. This book is for hard core...damn it all to hell... this shit just got serious in mommy world readers. Be prepared for cussing, sexy talk, on contraceptive discussions. Be also be prepared to laugh your ass off. This book is hilarious, unnerving, uncomfortable, and down right cruel at  times..and I think that's why it's right up my alley.

 So thanks again Kelley from the aforementioned break room for the much needed break from the mundane. And I to feel like a Carnie when I move:)


First Book, First Post

So I have been avid reader since I first read the words "See Jane Sit“...Okay those probably weren't the first words I read, but you get the idea. From Arthur to Amelia Bedelia, from The Little House In The Big Woods to The Baby Sitters Club, from Fear Street to Anne Frank. I loved them all. Every word, Every page, Every twist and turn, Every joke, Every heart breaking moment. Until I turned 18 and hung out with the wrong people books were my drug, my escape from reality. See I was the first pancake, the one you could mess up, because you had two more you could do it right with... so for most of my teenage years, books were my life. So when I thought about what I wanted to write about reviews were the obvious answer. So this is Me, I have a big mouth with no filter, I tell it how it is even when it sucks. I'll probably do Not just book reviews, but movie and music reviews as well seeing as they are my other two loves. So bare with me, most days I'll be writing from my kindle for since I an constantly on the go, so expect a few mistakes while i figure this out... Here goes nothing....


Amazon synopsis:

If Eden doesn’t kill you, the Park Service will.

In the post-apocalyptic future, a fifteen-year old boy stumbles on a paradise where the few remaining humans live on the run from deadly drones controlled by a mysterious Park Service. Now this boy must learn to survive in a world he never dreamed existed while searching for answers to why everything he was taught is a lie.

Now I first saw this book on an advertisement on Facebook. The ad proclaimed it was the next hunger games... I laughed at their lying... Sorta skimmed through it's amazon page and then forgot about it..until yesterday. Yesterday I found for $3.99 and thought what the heck...how bad could it be.

This is the first I've ever heard of Ryan Winfield, and having read some of the reviews for his book" Bixby bridge" and it must be pretty good...now on to the nitty gritty.

I finished this book today disappointed and unwilling to buy the next book in the trilogy when it comes  out. The main character Aubrey is boring and very wishy washy. I found myself wanting more depth to the character he created. Jimmy “Aubrey's nomadic best friend" was supposed this young man who had lived like the early Native Americans all of his young life, yet he comes across as a overly sensitive school girl. I wanted adventure and heart break. Guts and Gore. Yet felt let down when the scenes, that could have been that and more, were written like you were reading it straight out of a text book. I wanted more than flashes of greatness... because there were flashes...but seldom and hard to find. At Times it seemed like it would never end...yet when it ended I felt like there should have been more. 

And so I leave you with an inspiring quote from a sometimes uninspiring book. "These aren't just books, they are windows into a mind“ (please excuse my paraphrasing)
