GLAMITURE #3 -CRAZY RICH ASIANS

Crazy Rich Asians

AUTHOR:

PUBLICATION:

PAGES:

416

RATING:

What a wild, exhilarating, wonderful tale of love and family dysfunction set in one of the most energetic cities in Asia. Add to much money and time into the mix and the characters and this story is off like a rocket. This book is packed full of drama, romance, laughs. This book is a definite page turn (that's an understatement really). I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I already have number two on its way. I suggest to keep flash cards or notebook handy to write down all the "Asian" words they give you in the book along with the meaning. I found that very helpful. I also found myself longing to know what would happen next. This book is a great book for those who may be in a reading slump.

GLAMITURE #10 - SHADOW KISS (VAMPIRE ACADEMY #3)

TITLE: Shadow Kiss AUTHOR: Richelle Mead PUBLICATION DATE: 2008 PAGES: 446 START DATE: 02-18-18 END DATE: 03-09-18 RATING: 4 The ending of this book kind of upset but it was an amazing book, this book is the one that go me hooked on the series. There is so much going on in this book, I don't even know where to begin. I was captivated by this book, I really love Dimitri and Rose together... Rose is a character whom had to grow on me, for sure, she kind of got on my nerves in the beginning two books because of how pessimistic she was, every single thing made her mad, and she had a temper and I understand with the whole thing going on with her soaking up the "darkness" from Lissa but I sometimes felt like shaking her and telling her "life isn't that damn bad, you have a really hoot guy, just get the heck over it" but she kind of really grew on me in this book. I started seeing her as more of an enduring cha...

GLAMITURE #9 - FROSTBITE (VAMPIRE ACADEMY #2)

TITLE: Frostbite AUTHOR: Richelle Mead PUBLICATION DATE: 2008 PAGES: 327 START DATE: 12-28-17 COMPLETION DATE: 2-18-18 RATING: 5 BOOK NUMBER TWO OF THE VAMPIRE ACADEMY,.. SYNOPSIS: The threat of the Strigoi increases, and forces the Moroi and dhampirs to begin to think outside the box about how to protect everyone. Tense of course rises as always between Rose and Dimitri when Dimitri's friend and royal Moroi, Tasha, suddenly returns to the academy, leaving Rose of course with a broken heart. Of course Rose being the slut she is (love her character though) moves on or tries to move on with someone else, but her heart still aches. In this book we meet a new character - Adrian Ivashkov- a character who could easily be everyone's favorites. REVIEW: I kind of felt this book was a little slow, slower than the first one, and kind of dragged on, took awhile to get into it. I liked it and I eventually got into it by the en...

GLAMITURE #4 - See What I Have Done

TITLE: See What I Have Done AUTHOR: Sarah Schmidt PUBLICATION: 2017 PAGES: 328 This book is a MUST read.. I read this book in literally 2 days! I hardly wanted to put it down. I have been intrigued with Lizzie Borden and couldn't wait to read a fictionalized story about her, this authors take is beautiful. The book started out slow as it just jumped right into Lizzie finding her father dead. It gave no insight or history on Lizzie Borden. I didn't know if I was going to be able to deal with the events leading up to the murders, this book really didn't cover that but only covered the days leading up to and after the murders. This story is told from 4 different view points; Emma (Lizzie's oldest sister), Bridget (The Irish maid, Benjamin (A total stranger hired by the Borden girls uncle with nefarious intentions), and Miss Lizzie Borden. The writing on this evocative, even for having "realized" spelled wrong. There's a lot of imagery (...
