The Only Pirate At The Party by Lindsey Stirling

So, I'm not sure how many of you have even heard of the artist Lindsey Sterling, but in my humble opinion, I think she pretty fantastic. She is a hip hop violinist who also does some wild dancing. She can do a back bend while playing the violin which was unheard of until Lindsey came around. She never ceases to impress me as a performer and as a musician. Lindsey took the time to write a memoir, The Only Pirate At The Party, the first of many for me. She was absolutely hysterical. I was cracking up the entire time. She and her co-author did very well at pulling off the sense of emotion behind each chapter while still remaining comical which is a hard act to balance. I learned so much about Lindsey and her character that I felt like I was her friend in a way. It was such a quick read! I loved it and I highly recommend it!

Forget Me by K. A. Harrington

    Booknerds! I am so sorry! I feel so terrible, I haven't posted in forever. High school is hard. Any who, I have just finished multiple books all at the same time so I will be posting those sporadically throughout the week. The first of the Three is titled Forget Me by K.A. Harrington. I found this book through my best friend who recently moved to another continent, and by recently I mean August. The book follows the story of a girl who lost her boyfriend in a hit and run. Only three months after did things start getting freaky. she and her best friend run around their creepy abandon town to try and solve the mysteries of her boyfriend and the town itself.
     The plotline to this book is absolutely phenomenal, but the real issue is her writing style. It's very dry and the author does not use a lot of adjectives making it hard to read. My honest opinion is that this book would have done better as a film than a book. The upside to the book is that its a very miniscule piece and shouldn't take too much time depending on your connection with the story. I felt like this book was a bit of a let down. I wouldn't highly recommend it, but it's not a bad ne if you've got the time. Until next time.

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

     So it took forever for me to get around to writing this. I have missed finishing a book every week and being able to post about. I read this back in August when it came out but I never got around to writing a review. Here it is, two months later. Ladies and Gents say it with me it Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
     Let me say, it was such a fantastic book! I know I say that about most books, but it is only because I do not finish books I do not like. This was the first book in a while that I have been able to fly through. I finished it in two days and only because I had to read my summer reading before I could read the play. There's been a lot of controversy over wether the book was good as a play. Being a theatre nerd, I absolutely loved it.  I think it read very smoothly for a play. Most plays are hard to read and choppy. I didn't find that to be the case this time.
     Here is a quick summary with out spoilers! It takes place immediately after the epilogue scene in the final and movie. It takes us on an adventure with Albus Serverus and his best friend Scorpius. Scorpions is Draco Malfoy's son. The book follows the descendants of the main characters in the originals. The play changes time periods very, very quickly. Act one is extremely over dramatic and full of the boys getting in trouble. Act two the heat builds up even more. The two travel through time and multiple time lines trying to restore the time line back to how it was originally. That's all I'm going to reveal for now!

I'm Back

Hello my friends! It has once again been too long since I've posted! I didn't get to read much during the back half of the summer. It was really quite sad. I have finally picked up some books that were for me to read. For instance the new Harry Potter book. I had the privilege of going to a midnight release at the closest Barnes and Nobles. I have also been out and about on the Comic Con scene. Not that it has anything to do with books... I absolutely love going to cons with my dad! I love books, but I also have a passion for movies and Television and finding out how they film and write and all that crazy business. Comic cons will typically have actors and because of my con going I have garnered quite the autograph collection. Anyway, I'm working on wrapping up a book now. As soon as I have finished the review will be posted! See you soon!

B-Fest!

Hey BookNerds! Maybe few days ago I got to go hang out with the lovely miss Shannon Lee Alexander and a few other authors like Topher Kearby, Emma Mills, and Sarah Schmitt. I had an amazing time; I'm so grateful to Barnes and Noble for hosting such a fun event. Let me tell you all, if you have a chance to work with an author, go for it. Shannon was talking about her book and I had snuck in. She began talking about one of the characters, Mrs. Dunwitty, who happens to be my favorite, and I got excited. By some miracle she rememberd my name and called me out. It was so great getting to hear from her and the rest of the authors. I can't wait to share the rest of my adventure with you all. I will be reading the ARC of her next book, Life After Juliet, shortly and getting a review out to all of you. Until next time, my bookish friends. I took pictures but I think my devices are mad at me because it won't let me load them.

Between the Lines by Jodi Picult and Samantha Van Leer

Hi BookNerds! I've just finished the school year. I'm so excited for summer! There are lots of books I plan on reading this summer as well as some that my new school requires me to read before I go back into the drab life of homework. Anyway, the first book of the summer is called Between the Lines By Jodi Picoult and Samantha Van Leer. I thought this book was pretty good. The chapters are written in three different perspectives. One as the Fairytale(I'll explain in moment), the lead male and the lead female characters. The book follows a guy named Oliver, who is a character in a book, and a girl named Delilah, who is a typical Booknerd. Delilah picks up Oliver's book and begins to read it. As she's reading the. Story she hears Oliver talk to her. Oliver ask Delilah to help him escape the book. As Oliver and Delilah work things out with the book, the two fall in love. I'm not going to say any more about the plot. I loved the story. I found that the Mother-Daughter Duo did an amazing job writing the book and I'm excited to read the sequel!

Me Before You

This is a book for someone who needs a good cry. I've read the book and had the privilege of seeing the movie early and I cried both times I finished it. It's comparable to the Fault In Our Stars, by John Green. Me Before You, is a book and movie in which you NEED tissues. Also, make sure you have water on hand for the following dehydration. The story line was good and interesting. It covered some stuff I think should be discussed with a parent or someone. The book, I will say, is much dirtier than the movie. I was going to try and summarize the book but it's impossible to do that with out spoilers. Anyway, highly recommend for when you need a good cry.
Happy Reading!
