Whenever, whatever. I'm hear forver.

Abi awakens to a phone call from the hospital saying there’s been an accident and her teenage daughter, Olivia is there. Olivia fell from a bridge and is on life support, but the doctor says that she is already brain damaged. They can’t take her off life support though because she’s pregnant. Abi was not aware of this and will do whatever it takes to figure out who the father is and what happened the night Olivia fell.

This book was not only a mystery about what happened to Olivia, but also a story about family and the strength of a mother daughter bond. Reading I thought one thing was happening, and it turned out I was very wrong which was great because I didn’t see the ending coming.

The only reason I’m giving this 4 stars instead of 5 is because I thought the beginning was a little slow, but about 40% into it, the pace picked up and I didn’t want to put the book down. I definitely recommend this.

As a big fan of Veronica Mars, I was super excited when I heard that Rob Thomas was writing Veronica Mars books and then to find out that Kristen Bell actually narrated this one I had to listen to it. It totally brought me back to Neptune and the cast of characters I fell in love with. The plot line had some twists and turns just like the show and the writing was exactly what I was expecting. Although I heard Kristen Bell does not narrate the second book I do plan to read it.

I really wanted to love this book. I had heard so much about it, but it just wasn't for me. The story of Louise having an affair with her boss and befriending his wife had all the makings of a great psychological thriller. I honestly loved the beginning part of the book even though I hear other people thought it was very slow, but then, the book took an odd turn in my opinion. The story of the night terrors leading to lucid dreams was not what I was expecting at all. There could have been another way for Adele to know what was happening with David and Louise without having to go to a place that was so far-fetched, and don't get me started on the body swapping. That was way too much for me. Yes, the ending was a big shock that I didn't see coming, but it wasn't enough to save this book.

I also want to mention how the ending was so sad for Adam, Louise's son. That poor kid.

“Watching You” is a new mystery thriller by Lisa Jewell. The book starts with a murder in a town in England where the residents all seem to be watching each other. Joey and her husband, Alfie, have just moved in with her brother Jack and his wife Rebecca. They live in a cute neighborhood, two doors down from the Fitzwilliam’s, a husband and wife and their teenage son. Mr. Fitzwilliam, is the headmaster of a school, and it seems that everyone is infatuated with him, including Joey and some of the students at his school. His young wife, Nicola, seems to only care about him and running. Freddie, their son, is obsessed with watching everyone and everything going on in their neighborhood.

As the book progresses, we find many more of the residents watching each other, and trying to uncover what is going on in their small town. We know the police are interrogating some of the key players, but we don’t find out until close to the end who was murdered. It was pretty obvious to me who the murdered was when a key detail is given by them to another character. I just wasn’t sure which person they murdered which kept me interested and intrigued.

This is the first book I’ve read by Lisa Jewell, and definitely will read others by her. It was very well written, the chapters were not too long, and the pace was great. I like how it was told by multiple points of view which helped us to have a better understanding of the characters and what motivates them.

Thank you NetGalley and Atria Books for providing me an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This was a cute YA romance, and I can see this as a great book for anyone that believes in love at first sight. Maybe I’m skeptical, but I didn’t believe Natasha and Daniel could fall in love in a day. I didn't think that there was enough chemistry between the two of them, and honestly, I don't think Natasha would have even hung out with him on her last day in the country.

I listened to the audio and while I love Bahni Turpin as a narrator, I had issues with the third narrator telling stories of the other characters in the book. It just felt out of place and an unnecessary to me. The writing was good though and this was an easy read. I’m looking forward to watching the movie.

I listened to Ready Player One by Ernest Cline on audiobook. I want to start by saying that I really loved Wil Wheaton as a narrator. He was the perfect choice for this book, and if I was only rating based on him I would have given 5 stars.

Ready Player One tells a story set in 2045 when reality is an ugly place. Wade Watts is a teenager who spends more time logged into the OASIS, a virtual reality utopia, rather than in the real world. He even attends high school in the OASIS. Wade has devoted his life to find a hidden egg that the creator left before he passed away. Throughout the book, there are different challenges to get to the egg all based on 1980's pop culture. For someone who grew up in the 80's this book was so nostalgic for me. There are so many references to video games, movies, and music from this decade that it totally brought me back. The book was fun and well written. It actually made a dystopian world seem like a much more fun place than I assume it really is.

For me, there were some parts that were a little long and drawn out which is why I gave 4 out of 5 stars. This is not the normal type of book that I read though so keep that in mind. I'm definitely looking for Ready Player One, #2 to come out once Ernest Cline is finished writing it. Hopefully Wil Wheaton will narrate that one as well.

When you don’t know what to do for yourself, do something for someone else.

Margaret has a bright future ahead of her: a fiancé she adores, her dream job, and the promise of a picture-perfect life just around the corner. Then, on what should have been one of the happiest days of her life, everything she worked for is taken away in a horrible accident. When Margaret wakes up in the hospital, she has to face that nothing will ever be the way it was before.

This is my first book by Katherine Center, and I really enjoyed it. The writing was well done and it was an easy read. I love the way she writes her characters, in particular, quirky Kit, Margaret’s sister, and her cranky, stubborn and Scottish physical therapist, Ian. I listened to the audio book and thought the story moved at a good pace and that the narrator, Therese Plummer, did a really good job. I look forward to reading Things You Save in a Fire soon.

If you haven’t read this yet, read it! It’s such a powerful story and done so well. I listened to it on audible and Bahni Turpin is an amazing narrator. I’m looking forward to listening to more books she narrates.
