Am I seeing right?

Roaming the vast isles of a nearby book store I noticed how many books have similar and even identical covers.  I am sure you have seen them out there.  Some are very obvious other have designs and effects added to make a difference.  I have decided to post some examples of the ones I saw today.

This post is not intended to offend anyone.

My opinion

I can honestly say this is the best book I have ever read.  So much that it kept me reading even at work.  Yes I know, I was supposed to be working.  I was happy I found this series just before the second book Wolfsbane came out.  Fortunately for me the wait was not as long and desperate as other readers.  Andrea Cremer is a genius.  She has created a fantasy world that truly feels real.


My books have lived on and I have passed them on to Twilight fans that have sworn they would never fall for another series.  I am happy to say are now as obsessed as I am with the series.

I will bite my nails and stress out until January 24, 2012.  Yes!! I am counting the days.

I give this book five hearts.  It was exciting, interesting and well written.

Welcome!

Hello Everyone and Welcome to my blog

I am obsessed with the Young adult book genre.  My love for reading and writing goes back all the way to my teenage years.  

As a mother of three and in my late thirties, (there I said it!) it has been very hard to explain why I love reading books that target teenagers.  Specially my husband, who I quote "I wish I was one of those books or your laptop"


I absolutely love the pure genuine love this books evolve around.  In fact I love this genre so much that I have now embarked in my own new journey.


Juggling a full time job, three kids and a very demanding husband I have decided to write my own novel.  This dream of mine has not been easy to begin.


I have less hours to sleep at night, because it is the only time I have peace and quiet.  I obsess daily about my new world and always carry my laptop and a notebook with me to scribble away.

Come join me in this journey through wonderful worlds that include pure love, paranormal and other incredible stuff.
