Bring it on, 2017!

Daaang! Have I really not posted ANYTHING since May?!  Here i am, for at least ONE post this year... Last year was amazing for us. We were crazy, and hectic, and chaos reigned supreme, but it was Great! The good stuff: We bought a new home! We have way more room, and are super excited about it. Its been very busy, packing, moving, unpacking, and cleaning the old house! But it was obviously a big improvement for us!  Bought a new truck. Went to Six Flags all year, which was the first year we did anything like that. (Season passes to anything) Totally worth it for all the memories. I got to go on my first cruise, with my best friend. I really believe that you have to invest in your marriage, so that was awesome. We got 2 new baby kittens!! Who are a pain in the butt most of time, but who we love so very much! Dani got the braces she so desperately wanted (and needed). And won 2nd place in the spelling bee! Max lost his first teeth, AND started big boy

Alice in Zombieland...

Image
Title: Alice in Zombieland Author: Gena Showalter Summary:   She won't rest until she's sent every walking corpse back to its grave. Forever. If anyone had told Alice Bell that her entire life would change course between one heartbeat and the next, she would have laughed. From blissful to tragic, innocent to ruined? Please. But that's all it took. One heartbeat. A blink, a breath, a second, and everything she knew and loved was gone. Her father was right. The monsters are real. To avenge her family, Ali must learn to fight the undead. To survive, she must learn to trust the baddest of the bad boys, Cole Holland. But Cole has secrets of his own, and if Ali isn't careful, those secrets might just prove to be more dangerous than the zombies. Review :  So, Alice in Zombieland, while not really an Alice in wonderland retelling at all, is still an awesomely exciting novel.   The beginning of this novel- in the very first chapter- is devastating, and thrusts

The Power by JLA- Review

Image
Wow. So, The Power by Jennifer L Armentrout was just released a few days ago. In preparation for the release, I reread The Return, which made me fall for Josie and Seth all over again. So, some back story real fast. I love the Covenant Series. Its my favorite series by JLA, even more than Daemon and Katy in the Lux series. I love Alex and Aiden so hard its totally not even funny. So, when The Titan series came out focusing on Seth, I was... well I had mixed feelings. On the one hand, YAY this world with Alex and aiden will be expanding. But on the other...Ugh. Seth. He is not, and has never been my favorite character. He's an addict and an ass 85% of the time. And killed a lot of people. And sadly, I felt very little sympathy for him, despite his past and all the wrongs done to him. So, The Return made me seriously not hate Seth, and helped me to understand him even more. And I even kinda liked him. ;) Now though, after reading the Return, ,I still cant decide if
