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.

Love And Other Unknown Variables

Booknerds! I'm so excited to tell you about this book I finished a little while ago. I've just been forgetting to post about it. I finished Love and Other Unknown Variables by Shannon Lee Alexander. It was amazing! I was a little overwhelmed by the amount of language but other than that I really enjoyed it! I loved the story. I also loved that it's was told from the guys perspective. You don't see that very often in novels.
I also have some super exciting news about this summer! I will be working with Ms. Alexander for the release of her next book. It's titled Life After Juliet, and is the sequel to Love and Other Unknown Variables. It focuses on Charlie's( the main character in LAOUV) sister. I'll  be giving you guys a review before the book's release. I can't wait to go on this adventure with you guys!

The Crown

Guys!! The Crown came out yesterday and I'm had a tiny freak out moment. Kiera had posted for her fans to wear a crown or tiara to celebrate. I did! I enjoyed this series and I'm really sad it had to come to an end. I'm so excited because this Friday I will have the pleasure of getting to meet the lovely miss Kiera Cass. Anyway, this is the fifth and final book in the series. DO NOT READ THIS BOOK UNLESS YOU HAVE READ THE HEIR. It will make no sense if you do such a thing. To be completely honest I was a little disappointed in the ending. I didn't like the couple that got together in the end. I did see the ending coming and I was a little sad. I personally enjoyed the first three the best. That does not mean that this book was not amazing. I pray that Kiera will continue to write so I can continue to read her AMAZING work.

Author Palooza

Hi Booknerds! I am here to tell you about the amazing experience I had last night with the author of the book that I am currently reading. The book is titled Love and Other Unknown Variables by the lovely miss Shannon Lee Alexander. She was so nice to me, even though I have not yet completed her book. I have been treated worse by authors. There are the ones who just kind of ignore you because you haven't finished their book. I was so happy Shannon was not this way! I met another author last night by the name of Francesca Zappia. She was amazing to meet as well. She was giving not just myself but other young writers tips. I am so grateful for her inspiring words, and I cannot wait to read her book, Made You Up. I promise you will hear from me as soon as I finish these two books that I presume are absolutely wonderful(I wouldn't know; I haven't finished them).

Red Queen

      Book nerds! I have returned to the wonderful(and sometimes horrid) place that is the internet!  I was gone for a very long time and I apologize. While I was gone, to my dismay, I was not able to read much. I did get the opportunity to read a wonderful book titled Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard. This is probably the best book I have read since starting this blog. I finished it in a hurried manor, eating it up like a child who just had a sweet treat placed in front of them. It was gorgeously written, though repetitive at points. I'm so excited to read the sequel, I just don't know how to get my hands on it.
     If you are not familiar with the story here is a brief summary. No spoilers, I promise! The story follows Mare Barrow in a time period far in the future. Her country, Norta, is divided into two groups: silver and red. If you are a silver, you will live a luxurious life don't forget the powers you posses. If you are Red, you and your family are stuck in glorified poverty and are just lowly humans looked down upon by the Silvers. Norta has been at war with the country, the Lake lands, in the north for over a century. Mare is whisked away from her life of poverty to work for the King and his family. When something EXTREMELY unusual happens. I guess you'll have to read the book to find out what it is though.
   Anyway, it's a great book and I'd recommend it to a great deal of my friends, especially if they're into dystopian style books.

Out of the Easy

Hey Book Nerds!

So I finished a book yesterday at school. It was an absolutely incredible book!! Is anybody else a lover of historical fiction? If you're not, then this is not the book for you. The book is titled Out of the Easy. It is an amazing novel that takes place in the 1950's New Orleans. There are a few iffy scenes, but no major language issues. A good thing to know before reading this book is that the main character's mom is a prostitute. Hope you guys will enjoy Josie's story of freedom as much as I did!!

To All The Boys I've Loved Before

So last night I decided that I would wrap a book that I had been neglecting to read. I don't know why I just did. So any way, last night I finished To All the Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han. IT WAS SO GREAT!! I absolutely loved the story! I will admit that it could have used one or two less f-bombs. It actually was kind of realistic. I was surprised cause it was A ROMANCE BOOK! Romantic novels are almost always non realistic. I was impressed with Han's writing style. I'd give the book 4 out of 5 stars.
