October Books

I went to the Library today looking for books for my daughter and I also found a couple of books for myself that caught my attention. I have no idea what they are about but I’m excited to find out, Sometimes it’s just fun to pick out books from the library shelves to read.

I like being adventurous and picking up books that just stand out to me. I normally like to do a little research on the books that I want to read, But like I said I was feeling a little adventurous and here are the lucky winners for this month.

Lake Piru, California

Lake Piru, California

Lake Piru, California is the place we went camping for the first time with my family and friends to try out and see if we can do it again. We all had a blast and the kids were kids running and playing it was a great way to relax. I am sharing this with you guys so one because I had so much fun and it was a beautiful place and so close to home. secondly I want you guys to know me a little bit more in the sense of what I like to do besides me reading books and writing reviews.

Here I am

Here I am trying to take a picture of myself with the lake showing in the back but as you can see the sun was hitting me right in the face so my eyes kind of closed. This was the second day there we took the kids to fish and get wet.

 On our last day of camping we got woken up by one of nature’s friend. It was a wonderful experience to see it and be with my family.

Book Review 

Let me start by saying this is my first book I read from this author and it won’t be my last either I am ecstatic about this series. The only down side is that it was too short only nine chapters and I was left hanging for more I am glad that when I purchased the first book I also bought the second one. Its been a while now for me since I read this type of books and I am super happy to say that I feel like I just won the jackpot with this series.

The characters for me were very likable and charming. I was very excited to see how the author gave them life and different powers and just the way these two meet did it for me it was intriguing to see where she was going with this story. I was not able to put this book down.

I do want to take this time to recommend it to you if your into the Paranormal Romance genre and even if you’re not I honestly think you will like it. Dreamer is the first book than its Royal Blood down below I will leave you a link if you want to grab a copy.

Fifty Shades of Grey

Title Fifty Shades of Grey

Author E.L James

Pages 514

Rating 3.9

Book Review

Fifty Shades Of Grey is the first book of the series but I am pretty sure you already know that. This is my first book for me to read of this author E.L James and it was okay for me really I think there was just too much talk about this book. I really was not planning to read it at first because I just kept hearing so much about it but a good friend started reading them and talking about them to me so I gave in and just read the first book and finished it last night. Over all and besides the sex the book was okay.

I did enjoy everything else about the book the emails between them and the meeting the parents and him surprising her at Georgia while she went off to see her mom and keep distance from him because she would lose control every time she was around him. It was adorable to see how they both feel in love with each other but they were too afraid to admit it to each other. Another favorite for me is when Christian takes her in the morning to fly that moment was very sweet he was finally letting her in into his life and they were having something more that the sex contract that they had.

I was very shocked to read at the end that she says I am done no more and the strong words she uses to tell him. I also loved how she gave everything back to him the laptop, the black berry, the keys of the car and how she asked him for the money of her beetle and he writes her a check. and tells her that her beetle was a classic car and that she got good money for it. That was so good she was taking control and seeing her put her foot down was great. All those things I really liked about the story and for me the sex was not even that big yes they did have a lot of it and I was not surprised one bit. It just got kind of old for me I wanted to read more about the relationship they were going to have and where it was going to end and because the love story does not end there I will be reading the second book and find out how this Vanilla relationship will end will they find a way to be together with all the complicated stuff between them.

 

Getting through a first draft

The Tales of Missus P.

Get through a draft as quickly as possible. Hard to know the shape of the thing until you have a draft…when I wrote the last page of my first draft of Lincoln’s Melancholy I thought, Oh, shit, now I get the shape of this. But I had wasted years…writing and re-writing the first third to first half. The old writer’s rule applies: Have the courage to write badly. ~ Joshua Wolf Shenk

I’ve been working on a project that I really like, but can never get past the first section. I have changed the setting a few times, and I try to start again when the scenes all end up being pretty much the same. Basically, I’m stuck in first gear, and I can’t just get through a first draft, then clean up what I want later.

Since I’m usually busy with everything else in life and can no longer…

Ten Princess Books For Kids Who Could Use a Break from Disney Princesses (Whether They Realize it or Not) by Elizabeth Dillow

very interesting I myself have two little girls that would love princess books too. Thanks for sharing Nerdy Book Blog…

Nerdy Book Club

The magical reach of the Disney princess extends far and wide: sleeping bags, clocks, toothpaste, Campbell’s soup, tennis shoes… but nowhere more than the bookshelf. It’s possible to browse over 100 pages of princess books on Amazon.com—even Belle’s palace library would be hard-pressed to hold them all.

Despite the many voices warning of princess-induced cultural collapse, we don’t shun the Disney princess in our house; in fact, I have a hardcore princess devotee of my own who has amassed a healthy collection of Disney titles over the years. What we do shun, however, is single-minded fanaticism, especially when it comes to books. Luckily, there are many princesses in picture book literature that explore a variety of themes beyond the glittery “happily ever after” ending that will keep listeners thinking, questioning, and entertained. If you’ve ever felt the desperation of reading about Ariel, Merida, or Elsa for the 500th time but…
