Let me start off by saying I'm sorry this post is late. It's the end of the semester and I'm terrible. I apologize, but allow me to make it up to you by reviewing a book :D ***SPOILERS BELOW: PLEASE READ THIS BOOK BEFORE YOU READ THIS POST. THIS WILL BE MOST APPRECIATED IF YOU'VE READ IT AS YOU WILL BE ABLE TO EITHER AGREE WITH ME OR CALL ME A CRAZY LOON*** Let me start off by saying I am glad I read this book. It was worth it. It's an enjoyable and interesting story, with compelling characters. The whole world St. James created is a well loved one. You can feel the affection for the characters and it makes you love them all the more. That being said, I still had my issues. To set up the context of this review I will say that I'm a writer. So this is going to have more of a workshop feel to it than a traditional review. For those of you unfamiliar with workshops it's the offering of constructive criticism. You don't have to like it, but you have...

I don't know about you but I have a hard time getting motivated. If I'm going to get anything done I have to first hurdle over Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime to get there and let's face it--that is not easy task. But if you start slow you do eventually get somewhere. 1. A Podcast: Podcasts are great because they entertain your mind while you get on with other things, and once you're addicted to a podcast you find you don't want to just sit there and listen so you end up doing other stuff (like dishes and laundry). It's a nice boost if you're trying to get some things done because you're not stuck to watching something so you're free wander around and do what you need to do. If you like the supernatural and history I recommend Lore . I just finished all the available episodes and started over. It's amazing. There's also a show on Amazon Prime that's was renewed for a season two so look out for that too but that will suck you into Cou...

Alright so I'm like really late for the party here but I just read Me Before You because I just watched the movie (late to the party for that too but hey it was on Hulu) and I had both feelings and questions--so I read it and here are my issues. ***These are all just my opinions and remember opinions are like assholes: Everyone has one and they're all shitty ;) *** Number One: Random POV jumps Why? Just--why? I mean right off the bat the accident from Will's perspective I get. We get to see a brief glimpse into his life before it's changed. Great. Awesome. I love it. But 7 chapters in throwing us into the first person point of view of Camilla and then several chapters later Mr. Traynor and then again with Nathan and Treena? No. It's too jolting and helps us to miss things I'd rather have liked to see. Lou moving in? I wanted to see that. The jumps seem strategically placed for us to miss things between Lou and Will and I would rather the book were long...
