Good day bibliophiles

“Why does it say she has three hundred and twenty friends?" Josh asks. "Who has that many friends?”

If you had the opportunity to change your future...no wait, control the ultimate outcome of your future because you didn't approve of the cards life had dealt for you, would you do it ? Well the book I just breezed through had a lot to do with that and then some. The book I am talking about is none other than Jay Asher's &Caroline Mackler's- The Future of Us. This book has an amazing concept, is well written and a real page turner. Asher & Mackler had me at "Emma receives an AOL disc in 1996 from her estranged friend Josh, and they are some how able to log on to Facebook in the era of no social media networks, phones with the cords still attached to them, oh and my favorite, pagers!".

Having the ability to take a peek into their futures, they learn that their actions can ultimately change large parts of their fate so to speak. I think i'll stop right there before I give it away. I loved everything about this read except for the ending, surprise. . . surprise; I don't know something was missing if I can be honest. I think I expected more, more fireworks, one of those I'm not ready for this to be over type of endings but sadly I didn't really get that. . . but that's okay because I would still recommend this book to everyone!

Happy Reading bibliophiles!

Novels in Verse hmmm? "We Come Apart"-Brian Conaghan and Sarah Crossan

Hello fellow book lovers! So this week I came across my first Novel In Verse! Titled: "We Come Apart" Written by Brian Conaghan and Sarah Crossan . I wont lie to you, for the mere fact that it was the first time that I had ever read a novel with this structure, it took me a day or two to get into the book. However, I quickly fell in-love with the characters, the story and the structure. The book is split into three parts and as mentioned the structure is in verse. We come apart has two main characters, Nicu who has emigrated from Romania, and is awaiting to be married without his consent. The second main character is Jess who comes from a home plagued with domestic violence, her mother is dating a man named Terry who is abusive in many different ways, and he often goes to the extent of making Jess film the abuse. Jess and Nicu have their daily struggles which bring them together and which also stand to separate them. What I lo...

First post cant be less than "Everything Everything"

Everything Everthing -Nicola Yoon “Sometimes I reread my favorite books from back to front. I start with the last chapter and read backward until I get to the beginning. When you read this way, characters go from hope to despair, from self-knowledge to doubt. In love stories, couples start out as lovers and end as strangers. Coming-of-age books become stories of losing your way. Your favorite characters come back to life.” ― Nicola Yoon , Everything, Everything This amazing book was referred to me by a friend and colleague, and I must add that I did not need much convincing after watching a snippet of the trailer of the movie that cannot come soon enough. this book only took me a day to read because of its structure, its super reader friendly and really grabs your heart and doesn't let you go. Without giving any of the goodness away, this young adult fiction novel looks at the life of Madeline "Maddy" Whittier who suffers from a...
