I Know Lucy by Melissa Pearl

(Image found on Goodreads)

"I think sometimes you just see a girl and something about her captures you." -Melissa Pearl, I Know Lucy

Lucy has been on the run for five years now, constantly hiding from a corrupt official who killed both her parents in front of her own eyes. But when she finds herself at Monte Vista High, she discovers that she's found the one person she doesn't want to and can't leave; Zach. But when he starts digging into her past with the help of his reporter uncle, will she be able to fight her way away from Zach? Or will he be the one thing she can't leave behind no matter what happens to her? Find the official description on Goodreads.

The first thing I'm going to point out is that the author did something different with her writing. Many of the chapters are from first person perspective.

Things Seem to Be Hopping!

(Image found using Google.)

So I just realized that it's been more than a week since I've posted my last little update post! How terrible of me! But no seriously, I apologize, it just seems that the beginning of May has been full of so many tours, and getting used to work and being back home that I completely spaced on writing a post like this. But how have you been finding the reviews and everything on the site? I hope you're enjoying them!

So, I feel like the picture up there is exactly how I feel right now, haha. I know I should go outside and soak up some sun but I just can never seem to work up the energy to actually go outside. Plus Canada has seemed to decide it doesn't want to give its citizens Summer, as it seems to be wanting to keep right at Spring until Fall comes along. Which is just so much fun. Although it has the added benefit of not having my family and I cursing the heat. So, maybe it's not all bad.

The Find by Gregg Bell

(Image found on Goodreads)

"To watch Cessie suffer the way she had been was wearing Phoebe out." -Gregg Bell, The Find

Desperate, Phoebe does something she knows she shouldn't. But with a sick daughter and losing her job, what else can she do? But when things start getting heavy and people are getting hurt, what will Phoebe do to save those she loves? Find the official description on Goodreads.

Gregg Bell has created a very interesting novel, one that will get your attention and keep it. For those of you who enjoy action, this book has plenty. There's a mother who will do anything to help/keep her kids safe and a mobster as well as a gangster. That's pretty much guaranteed to cause trouble of the gun toting kind. Not only that but the plot is fascinating.

Well, Whatdya Know?

(Found using Google)

So, all of my professors have been pushing paper due dates back and since I already have the papers done, I'm bored out of my mind. Enter Sherlock Holmes. I spent a whole day just watching the episodes again. LOVE IT! It's great. If you haven't checked it out, check it out! (BBC Sherlock)

Also, I've got some things up my sleeves, mostly blog tours, so expect a few of those in the near future. I'm extremely excited to share these with you! Plus, my first blog tours so wish me luck!

Now, books, let's get back to that subject.....what more can we say about books? Hmmmm.....

What about your favourite childhood series? What was the one series that you just loved during your childhood and just feel like it either defined your childhood or when you see it/read it, you remember reading it for the first time?

Taking Shots by Toni Aleo

“Whoever thought up the phrase ‘Absence makes the heart grow founder’ was an idiot." -Toni Aleo, Taking Shots

WARNING: This book is not for young adults. It contains swear words and Sexual Content.

When I first stumbled upon this book, I had ulterior motives. I've always been into hockey but just before I found the Assassin's Series, my brother had bought season tickets for a local major junior(or flip that, I can never keep it straight!) team. Which meant that when I'm home from university I get to go their games! This meant I fell even deeper in love with the game of hockey and as such I began looking for books that had that and romance. Because I'm just that kinda gal. But when I stumbled upon Taking Shots, I didn't think that I would fall in love with the character or series as a whole. But I did, and now I can't wait until June 10th when Breaking Away comes out! Seriously, it feels like a looooooong time away. Now as another warning for those of you who are rebels and ignore warnings in big bold letters, this book does contain swearing(which isn't really too bad anyway) but more to the point it contains sexual content, and this means that it is not for younger audiences. So please, don't read this book unless you're old enough to. Thank you!

Spring!! And Yet in Canada, it Still Feels Like Winter

That photo is actually what is happening in Canada right now, not gonna lie. It warmed up for like a day and then we got hit with more snow. And there's actually another winter storm that's supposed to hit tomorrow. Some days I wished I lived in California, but then I'd probably complain about the heat.

So, anywho, it's been a week since I've last posted a little update/let's get to know each other post. And I thought it was time to do that again.....especially because of the fact that I can be all bundled up and still on my computer. Yes, I have managed to catch a cold at the very end of winter. What can I say? My luck sucks right now,haha. I almost made it through an entire winter with only the sniffles every once in a while. Oh well.
