ANNOUNCEMENT

01:32 | Posted by Nick | Edit Post

Hi guys!

This is just a short announcement to say that I will not be blogging for the next 3 weeks because of a few things. Firstly, in about a week, I'll be entering finals weeks and that means lots of studying to do. Also, since it will be summer in a couple of weeks, it also means moving out, which is never fun. I have tons of packing and cleaning up to do. And, I'm going back home on June 7th, which I'm very excited about!

With all that going on, I sincerely doubt that I will have time to read or blog, so I have decided to take a blogging break. But I should be back around June 10th or so in full swing! I will have plenty of reviews and other good stuff to share with you all.

Thank you all for understanding!

Nick

Review : The Book of Broken Hearts by Sarah Ockler

06:00 | Posted by Nick | Edit Post

Summary (from Goodreads)

Title : The Book of Broken Hearts
Author : Sarah Ockler
Publication Date : May 21st 2013
Publisher : Simon Pulse
Goodreads - Amazon

When all signs point to heartbreak, can love still be a rule of the road? A poignant and romantic novel from the author of Bittersweet and Twenty Boy Summer.

Jude has learned a lot from her older sisters, but the most important thing is this: The Vargas brothers are notorious heartbreakers. She’s seen the tears and disasters that dating a Vargas boy can cause, and she swore an oath—with candles and a contract and everything—to never have anything to do with one.

Now Jude is the only sister still living at home, and she’s spending the summer helping her ailing father restore his vintage motorcycle—which means hiring a mechanic to help out. Is it Jude’s fault he happens to be cute? And surprisingly sweet? And a Vargas?

Jude tells herself it’s strictly bike business with Emilio. Her sisters will never find out, and Jude can spot those flirty little Vargas tricks a mile away—no way would she fall for them. But Jude’s defenses are crumbling, and if history is destined to repeat itself, she’s speeding toward some serious heartbreak…unless her sisters were wrong?

Jude may have taken an oath, but she’s beginning to think that when it comes to love, some promises might be worth breaking.

Mini Reviews : The End Games by T. Michael Martin & Reboot by Amy Tintera

Summary (from Goodreads)

Title : The End Games
Author : T.Michael Martin
Publication Date : May 7th 2013
Publisher : Harper Teen
Goodreads - The Book Depository

It happened on Halloween.

The world ended.

And a dangerous Game brought it back to life.

Seventeen-year-old Michael and his five-year-old brother, Patrick, have been battling monsters in The Game for weeks.

In the rural mountains of West Virginia, armed with only their rifle and their love for each other, the brothers follow Instructions from the mysterious Game Master. They spend their days searching for survivors, their nights fighting endless hordes of “Bellows”—creatures that roam the dark, roaring for flesh. And at this Game, Michael and Patrick are very good.

But The Game is changing.

The Bellows are evolving.

The Game Master is leading Michael and Patrick to other survivors—survivors who don’t play by the rules.

And the brothers will never be the same.
