Starting From Lost by SK Wills

March 2, 2016

FTC: I received a free copy of this book through CLP in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation.

Starting From Lost by SK Wills surprised me because I didn’t think I would like it but I ended up loving it. I didn’t know if I would like Hannah when the book started because she didn’t seem like someone that I would get along with. But once I was a few chapters into the book I began to like her. She has the kind of personality that bother me, but they usually end up growing on me. I felt bad for Hannah and what happened to before the book started and I love watching, and she moved on and learned more about herself and life. In the end, I fell in love with the characters and this authors style of writing. I can’t wait to read another book by this author and I am sure that almost everyone would end up loving this book like I did.

About The Book

Love is a risk. If you lose it all, would you dare to risk it twice?

Hannah Rogers is lost: cynical, insecure, and withdrawn. Skeletons forged through a bad breakup that should have been a marriage proposal. Now four years later, Hannah follows her dead-end job to the big city where her only hope is to survive the next eight months as her flirtatious boss’s personal assistant. The last thing her predictable life needs is to collide with the boy responsible for breaking her heart, or the twist of fate that sends a sexy new neighbor to awaken feelings she’s long since put to bed.

Alex Sorrento doesn’t have any room in his life for another pet project. He’s already put aside his career and his personal dreams to follow his half-sister Mackenzie to the big city. Lost in the guilt over the events that nearly took her life, he feels he owes her that much. When Mackenzie befriends the new girl on the second floor, Alex finds himself defenseless against the sizzling chemistry between them and the sadness in her eyes. Can he protect Hannah from her ex without losing his heart?

In this turbulent journey about self-discovery, forgiveness, and love, some second chances aren’t worth taking, but others have their own rewards.

S.K. Wills grew up with reading in her blood; a favorite pastime passed down thanks to her two beautiful grandmas. Wanting to inspire others, like good books inspire her, she added “write a romance novel” to her bucket list, and ultimately, checked it off. Writing makes her soul happy, and since she’s now hooked on story-crafting, she’s decided to stick with it for as long as it will have her. S.K. lives in Southeastern Michigan, and juggles expertly (or so she thinks!) also being a passionate marketer and entrepreneur helping other authors reach their writing dreams. She fuels her insatiable dream-chasing with what some would consider an unhealthy amount of coffee, and she wouldn’t have her crazy busy life any other way.

Top 10 YouTube Channels I Am Loving

March 1, 2016

This was a prompt from the writers workshop a few weeks back add I still wanted to share the channels that I am loving so that you can check them out as well. I watch tons of YouTube video now that I don’t tons to do at work right now, so I want to share some of my favorite ones. To pick these, I went through my history of video’s I watched and picked channels that I saw over and over again.

Fail Army-I watch these videos the minute I get the email saying they uploaded a new video. I love watching the crazy things that people do.
CoffeeBreakwithDani-I loves this channel because she is always so positive and she just makes me smile. She has a beauty channel, but sometimes she does other type videos. She also someone that I trust what she says.
TwoBabyMamas-These two are pregnant with their second baby, and I can’t stop watching them. I have been following them since they were trying to conceive their first daughter so I can’t wait for them to have their second daughter. I also find their story interesting because of everything they have to do to get pregnant.
LastWeekTonight-I loves this channel because I usually agree with what he says but he also talks about things I haven’t heard of before, and I love staying informed about things that happen in the world.
Glam&Gore-This lady won the NYX Face Awards and since then I have loved watching all of her tutorials because she always makes me laugh and she is amazing at what she does.
Philip DeFranco-I has watched this channel for years, and I will continue to watch it as long as he makes videos.
thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich–
CaseyNeistat-I just recently started watching his video’s, and I love them because they are short daily vlogs, and he has had several viral videos, so he just has an unusual style to his videos and I love that about his videos.
Happily Houseless-I found this channel back in December and since then I have been hooked because of the medical stuff he has had to deal with the past few months.
Kristen Leanne-I loves this channel and to be honest; I am not 100% sure why. I watch all of her video’s, and I don’t see me stopping anytime soon.
GlamLifeGuru aka Tati-I had one more that I wanted to tell you about because if you are into makeup, I think you will enjoy her videos. I like them, and I don’t wear any makeup so she must be doing something right.

I also have done a post like this twice before so if you want to see what I watched years ago, you can here if and here if to check them out.Also have written a couple of posts where I talk about some videos that I love so you can check those out here and here if you want to as well.

Those are the ones that I am currently loving. I think I am going to do this post more often because I am always finding great new channels, and I like to share them with friends.

Langston Hughes-Quote Of The Week

February 29, 2016

This week’s quote is byLangston Hughes.

I loved this quote when I saw it because it is so true. I also think that this true because if you give up on your dreams, then there is no way that you will go anywhere in life. I have had my dreams change, but I always have something that I am working towards so that I don’t just stay in the same spot in life.

What do you think of this weeks quote by Langston Hughes?

Back In The Saddle by Ruth Logan Herne was a good book to read. This is the first book I have read by this author and I am so glad that I read this book because I now have another great author that I can add to my list of great authors that I want to read in the future. I really like all the characters in this book right from the start. I did spend most of the book hoping that Colt wouldn’t leave after the market recovered and what not. I am going to come back and update this review on March 30th because I signed up to review this book twice. So I will finish this review then and let you know how I felt about it over all at the end of March.

Killing Me Softly by Kathryn R Biel

I received no other compensation for this review.

Killing Me Softly by Kathryn R Biel was a good book it just wasn’t one of my favorites. I am not sure what I didn’t like about this book because it was written well and I did like Sadie right from the start. I think one thing I didn’t like was how Sadie over analyzed the people dying and blaming herself for their deaths. I really didn’t like her boyfriend at the start of the book right from the start and if I am being honest I wasn’t sad when he got killed. He bugged me and I knew that Sadie deserved someone 100% better than him. I did feel at times like some parts of the book were drug out too long and maybe some of Sadies thoughts that she had could have been cut out or shortened. This was an okay book and I am sure if you like chick lit then you might enjoy this book and you should check it out.

About The Book

Sadie Perkins has a sixth sense about things—especially people dying. Her clairvoyance has never bothered her until she starts to believe that her visions are causing the deaths of those around her. After her latest relationship ends … badly … Sadie swears off love for good. While searching for an uncomplicated life, Sadie finds her hands full not only with a home renovation project but with defending herself against suspicion of murder. There’s a fine line between predicting someone’s death and causing it. Has Sadie finally crossed that line?
Enter contractor Max Schultz, who is not only good at working on houses, but he’s good at working on Sadie too. Much to Max’s dismay, as he’s trying to win Sadie’s heart, he finds Sadie’s first love, Henry Fitzsimmons, is back in the picture, snooping around.
Sadie doesn’t know which way to turn or who to trust, including herself. Can Sadie clear her name and open her heart all at the same time?
