This week I want to talk about the book that I really can not wait to read.
It is the 3rd book of the series by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl. It is about Ethan and his love Lena. It doesn't come out until 112 days...:( But I would sell my first born for this book...not really...well maybe my soul...
the cold.
Grace has spent years watching the wolves in the woods behind her house. One yellow-eyed wolf—her wolf—watches back. He feels deeply familiar to her, but she doesn't know why.
the heat.
Sam has lived two lives. As a wolf, he keeps the silent company of the girl he loves. And then, for a short time each year, he is human, never daring to talk to Grace...until now.
the shiver.
For Grace and Sam, love has always been kept at a distance. But once it's spoken, it cannot be denied. Sam must fight to stay human—and Grace must fight to keep him—even if it means taking on the scars of the past, the fragility of the present, and the impossibility of the future.
My Thoughts:
So I am not going to lie....it took me forever to get through this book. Last week I had family in town, so not much reading was done. And this week so far has been really crazy with work. But I came home today and sat on my balcony and read until the bugs weren't hungry anymore and I was finished with the book.
The book started off so well. I wanted Sam to tell Grace that he loved her right off the bat ( that didn't happen), I didn't want them to run into any trouble (that didn't happen), and I wanted everything to work our between them (that sorta happens). About half way through the book I was really wanting some action. I felt the book lacked that but was great everywhere else. And then the end hit! Oh my God the end. I did not see that coming at all. Everything from Jack kidnapping Grace to Sam changing for good in front of Grace. I didn't know how to accept what was going on. I cried when Jack died. And I automatically assumed that if Jack died Sam for sure was gone. Then Grace sees him! AND HE IS HUMAN.
I really want to pick of Linger and read it to see what happens between Grace and Sam, but it will have to wait...hopefully not long :)
My rating:
I am giving the book 4 out of 5. I really liked everything about it. I would defiantly recommend this book to anyone that wants a easy read.

I'm gonna ride this plane out of your life again
I wish that I could stay, but you argue
More than this I wish, you could've seen my face
In backseats staring out, the window
I'll do anything for you
Kill anyone for you
So leave yourself intact
'Cause I will be coming back
In a phrase to cut these lips
I love you
The morning will come
In the press of every kiss
With your head upon my chest
Where I will annoy you
With every waking breath
Until you decide to wake up
I've earned through hope and faith
On the curves around your face
That I'm the one you'll hold forever
If morning never comes for either one of us
Then this I pray to you wherever
I'll do anything for you
This story is for you
('Cause I'd do anything you want me to for you)
I'll do anything for you
Kill anyone for you
So leave yourself intact
'Cause I won't be coming back
In a phrase to cut these lips
I loved you
The morning will come
In the press of every kiss
With your head upon my chest
Where I will annoy you
With every waking breath
Until you decide to wake up
The morning will come
In the press of every kiss
With your head upon my chest
Wh-Where I will annoy you
With every waking breath
'Til you decide to wake up

Miss Taylor Swift!!!
Not only am I going to see Miss Taylor in 38 days with my BFF Lynn, I also listen to her everyday....actually her CD Speak Now is playing in the background while I write this! LOL
You, with your words like knives and swords and weapons that you use against me
You have knocked me off my feet again got me feeling like I'm nothing
You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard, calling me out when I'm wounded
You, pickin' on the weaker man
Well, you can take me down with just one single blow
But you don't know what you don't know
Someday I'll be living in a big old city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
You, with your switching sides and your walk-by lies and your humiliation
You, have pointed out my flaws again as if I don't already see them
I'll walk with my head down trying to block you out 'cause I'll never impress you
I just wanna feel okay again
I'll bet you got pushed around, somebody made you cold
But the cycle ends right now 'cause you can't lead me down that road
And you don't know what you don't know
Someday I'll be living in a big old city
[- From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/t/taylor-swift-lyrics/mean-lyrics.html -]
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
And I can see you years from now in a bar, talking over a football game
With that same big loud opinion but nobody's listening
Washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things
Drunk and grumbling on about how I can't sing
But all you are is mean
All you are is mean and a liar and pathetic and alone in life
And mean, and mean, and mean, and mean
But someday I'll be living in a big old city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean, yeah
Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
Someday, I'll be, living in a big old city
(Why you gotta be so mean?)
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
(Why you gotta be so mean?)
Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
(Why you gotta be so mean?)
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
So we are on week 2 of Glee Song of the Week!!! And after some much listening time to some of my favorite CD's in the world I have come up with the perfect song this week. Get ready.....and the winner is.....
The Only Exception!!! This song was amazing when Paramore sang it but it was amazeballs when Rachel sings it!
Glee – The Only Exception Lyrics
When I was younger I saw my daddy cry And curse at the wind He broke his own heart And I watched As he tried to reassemble it
And my momma swore that She would never let herself forget And that was the day that I promised I’d never sing of love If it does not exist
But darling, You, are, the only exception You, are, the only exception You, are, the only exception You, are, the only exception
Maybe I know, somewhere Deep in my soul That love never lasts And we’ve got to find other ways To make it alone Keep a straight face
And I’ve always lived like this Keeping a comfortable, distance And up until now I had sworn to myself that I’m Content with loneliness
Because none of it was ever worth the risk
Well, You, are, the only exception You, are, the only exception You, are, the only exception You, are, the only exception
I’ve got a tight grip on reality But I can’t Let go of what’s in front of me here I know you’re leaving In the morning, when you wake up Leave me with some kind of proof it’s not a dream
Ohh—
You, are, the only exception You, are, the only exception You, are, the only exception You, are, the only exception You, are, the only exception You, are, the only exception You, are, the only exception You, are, the only exception
And I’m on my way to believing Oh, And I’m on my way to believing
This is my go to song. When I am having a bad day or I am just in need of a great love song I put this song on repeat. Lea Michele did amazing job on this song. I remember watching the Britany episode on this song came on and I cried. I cried like I have never cried before....well actually I probably have cried more since. Any who this song should have been number one on my glee song of the week, but come on nothing beats FRIDAY!!!!
In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue—Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is—she can't have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself.
During the highly competitive initiation that follows, Beatrice renames herself Tris and struggles to determine who her friends really are—and where, exactly, a romance with a sometimes fascinating, sometimes infuriating boy fits into the life she's chosen. But Tris also has a secret, one she's kept hidden from everyone because she's been warned it can mean death. And as she discovers a growing conflict that threatens to unravel her seemingly perfect society, she also learns that her secret might help her save those she loves . . . or it might destroy her.
Debut author Veronica Roth bursts onto the literary scene with the first book in the Divergent series—dystopian thrillers filled with electrifying decisions, heartbreaking betrayals, stunning consequences, and unexpected romance. -Goodreads-
First of all I want to say Veronica Roth, you are amazing! I loved when I went and saw you in Michigan for the Dark Days Tour and I LOVED your book. I am going to say that Divergent is now my favorite book of all time. I loved all the characters. Tris is amazing. She is everything that a 16 year old girl should be in a dystopian world. She is carrying the world on her shoulders so she needs to be a bad ass.
OH MY GOD Four. I think every girl in the world needs a guy like Four. He is there for her, to protect her and to love her. I first fell in love with Four when Tris could tell that he was looking at her in a different way. Not as a trainer but as something else. I know this feeling, I had this feeling with my Hubby!!! It is amazing.
I would HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone! If you want to see how the world would be if your government was one of 4 factions in the world then you need to read this!!!!
Well this week has been a very interesting week! A lot has happened both at work and at home. On Tuesday my father in law was in his garden when he backed up and accidentally stepped on his cat's tail. His cat in returned bit him. His leg never healed the right way and after many trips to the doctor, his doctor finally told him to go to the ER and have them check for blood clots. This got very scary. They admitted him and he has been there since. He is getting better day by day and his wounds are even looking better. A wound specialist comes in every day and helps clean and drain the wounds. We are hoping that he will return home in the next couple days. Well on with In My Mailbox! In my Mailbox is hosted by The Story Siren!
Some of the books I have had that I have forgotten about, ( thanks Jenn for going through my books:)) and some are one that I just recently bought.

Moving back and forth between the insulated remnants of society and the brutal frontier beyond, Temple must decide where ultimately to make a home and find the salvation she seeks.
I am really excited to get my nose into this book! The more I read about this book and the more I read on the back of the book makes me want to read it now! :)

The Iron King

But she could never have guessed the truth - that she is the daughter of a mythical faery king and is a pawn in a deadly war. Now Meghan will learn just how far she'll go to save someone she cares about, to stop a mysterious evil no faery creature dare face; and to find love with a young prince who might rather see her dead than let her touch his icy heart.
