WWW Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Sam @Taking On A World Of Words, where you have to answer these questions:
What are you currently reading? What did you recently finish reading? What do you think you’ll read next?
I’m currently reading The Form of Things Unknownby Robin Bridges, and I have to say that I’m not convinced yet.
I recently finished The Hard Countby Ginger Scott, and then I re-read The Deal and The Mistake by Elle Kennedy, which was just awesome!!! Amazing reading week!
Next I’ll read The Replacement Crush by Lisa Brown Roberts, When In Rome…Find Yourselfby Lena Mae Hill, Rookie Move by Sarina Bowen and The Possibility of Somewhere by Julia Day… All ARCs, coming out on September 6th
Welcome back to Top 5 Wednesday! This meme was created by gingerreadslainey and is hosted by Sam @ThoughtsOnTomes and you can check out the Goodreads group here. This week’s theme is Books You Will Never Read . Nothing against these 5 titles, but I honestly think I’ll never get to them, because they don’t interest me at all.
Once again, I got way more eARCs and free kindle books, than anything else. The only physical book I got was given to me by my mom :).
My mom got me Harry Potter and the Cursed Child earlier this month. I’m excited to own it, though I’m not very excited to read it, unfortunately. I’m afraid it will taint the original series somehow.
Hello, welcome back to another Tuesday. Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. This week’s theme is:
Back To School Freebie – anything “back to school” related like 10 favorite books I read in school, books I think should be required reading, Required Reading For All Fantasy Fans, required reading for every college freshman, Books to Pair With Classics or Books To Complement A History Lesson, books that would be on my classroom shelf if I were a teacher
Because a couple of weeks ago, I did Books Set in College, I decided that I was going to do Books Set in High School this week.
Nico Medina’s world is eleven miles away from mine. During the day, it’s a place where doors are open — where homes are lived in, and neighbors love. But when the sun sets, it becomes a place where young boys are afraid, where eyes watch from idling cars that hide in the shadows and wicked smoke flows from pipes.
West End is the kind of place that people survive. It buries them — one at a time, one way or another. And when Nico was a little boy, his mom always told him to run.
I’m Reagan Prescott — coach’s daughter, sister to the prodigal son, daughter in the perfect family. Life on top. Lies. My world is the ugly one. Private school politics and one of the best high school football programs in the country can break even the toughest souls. Our darkness plays out in whispers and rumors, and money and status trump all. I would know—I’ve watched it kill my family slowly, strangling us for years.
In our twisted world, a boy from West End is the only shining light. Quarterback. Hero. Heart. Good. I hated him before I needed him. I fell for him fast. I loved him when it was almost too late.
When two ugly worlds collide, even the strongest fall. But my world… it hasn’t met the boy from West End.
I’ve read a few Ginger Scott’s books, and I liked them all, so I was so excited when I was approved for The Hard Count on Netgalley. This one is, without a doubt, my favorite Ginger Scott book, and I just want more!
I really liked how this book was narrated, with Reagan being the main POV, in the present, and with a few chapters from past Nico. Reagan was an awesome narrator, funny, witty, nervous and smart. I loved the way the book was written… so damn deep!
I loved both main characters to death. Reagan and Nico were amazing characters, so smart and dedicated to what they wanted out of life. To be 100% honest, I ended up loving all the characters in this book, and I loved how they personified the meaning of family. All of them. The friends, the families, all of them, really!
The romance was seriously cute and awesome. I really liked how how Reagan and Nico took their time, and got to know each other better before becoming a couple. I liked that there was never any doubt about it. I liked that once they were in it, they were in it 100%. I loved that even though some problems were anticipated, they managed to overcome them all. I loved the support and love.
I honestly don’t know what to say more about this book. It was kind of perfect. The massage was perfect. The characters were perfect. The romance… perfect. Nico and Reagan? Perfect! The football, team and school themes? Also perfect.
People, you need to read this book. Now! It’s that good!

Contemporary… New Adult Contemporary to be more specific. Also no regrets about that. I’m in love with the genre.

The Raven Cycle series, probably.

Hello, welcome back to another Book Traveling Thursdays, which a weekly meme created by Cátia @The Girl Who Read Too Much and Danielle @Danielle’s Book Blog. The goal is to share the covers of a book related to that week’s theme, which you can see at the Goodreads group, indicating the original cover, the one of your country, your favorite and least favorite.
This week’s theme is “Because reading takes us to a lot of different adventures choose a book that makes you think about traveling“. I’m chosing The Girl From Everywhere by Heidi Heilig, because the traveling is strong on this one.
Original COver:
This is the US cover, and I do like it, though it has grown on me more after I saw the US cover for the sequel.
COVER FROM MY COUNTRY (PORTUGAL) & COVER FROM THE COUNTRY I LIVE IN (SPAIN):
This book hasn’t come out here yet :(.
Favorite COVER(s):
My favorite cover is the UK edition. I just love the blue and the color contrast.
WWW Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Sam @Taking On A World Of Words, where you have to answer these questions:
What are you currently reading? What did you recently finish reading? What do you think you’ll read next?
This week I’m reading The Hard Count by Ginger Scott, and then I started The Deal by Elle Kennedy again, as a re-read, because I was in dire need of some great NA book.
Next, I’ll probably read Keeping Her Secretby Sarah Nicolas and Wrong Question, Right Answer (The Bourbon Street Boys #3)by Elle Casey, both of which are already out and I need to get to them.
