Lyla and her family live in a Gated community away from the everyone. Her family meet Pioneer when her sister Karen was taken or presumed dead. They left the city life to move to this community. They live a simple life , and no they aren't Amish. She is intended to marry Will. She also doesn't shoot very well.

Lyla gives a tour to Cody & the sheriff. She talks with Cody about life there. She is attracted to him. Her family is next to do the town run for supplies.

Pioneer is the man in charge and calls lyla " Little Owl" because she is always observing. Pioneer and the others living there believe that the world is going to end.

Her world is slowly changing and she starts questioning their life there.

This book was creepy good. This book was realistic for cult living and the brainwashing that happens over time. This book is great for discussions about choices, living the life or not, and even questioning adults.

Book Review= B

Thanks to Random House for the book and this is My honest review

This Book comes out Aug 27

Teen Beach Movie Book Review ---A review by M

On a sunny Californian beach, it was a perfect day for surfing. A blond surfer Brady ( Ross Lynch) spending time with his girlfriend  McKenzie ( Maia Mitchell) . Brady said to Mac , I read that that there is gnarly storm coming up north. Imagine dropping into a barrel that intense replied mac to Brady.

Mack and Brady head to the surf shop where mac Grandfather was and Brady saw on TV and old surfer 1960 movie. It was about surfer guy and a biker girl share a secret love while trying to unite their gangs , as real estate mogul tries to turn their hangout into a resort. He wants to build a weather machine that blows up creating a massive storm.

Mack's Aunt Antoinette comes to the surf shop and lets her know that she is leaving tomorrow to Dunwich prep school. Mack and Brady head over to the beach , because she can't leave with out one more ride on the waves. A huge wave was coming, and Brady was off to help rescue Mack. When they reach the shore ....everything looks different. It turns out that they are both in the Wet side story that Brady Loves. But things change in the with in the story . Its not the  Wet Side story that they remember.

I read this book very fast and could picture this as a movie. I loved romance between the characters. I admit that I love to watch Austin and Ally. I am excited to see this movie on Disney Channel.

Book Review= A+

I bought this book and this is my Honest review and the movie comes out July 19 on Disney Channel

Dirty Little Secret Book Review

Bailey is living with her grandad , while her sister Julie got the gig and on her way to stardom. She is busy working as performer at the mall , and meets Sam. Sam would like her to be in his band, since she play the fiddle so well.

Sam & Bailey are both attracted to each , but don't want to wreck the band since she doesn't really want to bring negative press to Julie's big break. Bailey meets the other band members Ace & Charlotte but they don't like her to start out. Bailey is also having some issues since her previous boyfriend did coke. Sam & Bailey are both off to the same college but they both have different goals.

They both have their issues to work out , and also as a band. I loved how so many county bands were brought up through out the book. I also loved the romance. There parents were in the book , but busy choosing one daughter over another it seems.

Book review= B

Thanks so much MTV books and this is my Honest Review

This book comes out July 16

Announcements -Taking a Really Long Break




I have been blogging for 6 years and I have seen some changes during this time.

Blogging has changed. I have noticed less entries, less comments. On the whole this medium is changing. I have seen more bad author behavior, blogs going away, blogger drama. This year has interesting to say the least. 

So with heavy heart , and a piles of books I need to read. I want to go back to school, or work more. I am stopping this blog very soon. I feel that its time. I have told some people ,but now I am telling everyone.

If I have a book to review...I will get it but I am only one person. It also depends on my mood and the book. Lately I have been reading my books from the kindle, and ARC's not so much. Which to me is surprising. I love reading but it feels like a job more and more.

I will ending the blog  soon , and posting less often. 




I will be going back to school to further my education.

Zumba clothes review


Hello as many of you know that I am training for Tough Mudder in the fall. I got this opportunity to try out these zumba clothes. At my church , two days a week there are zumba classes to get fit .

Zumba is exercise that works along with  dancing and aerobic elemenets. Its a usually an hour long class and it works all the muscles. 

I have been hit and miss with trying to make it my local classes. I really wanted to like the zumba shirt when I work out , but to me it was uncomfortable . I wore it to my local gym to work out , but I didn't feel like I had enough room to do all things I like to do. I like to be modest , but this is almost having my boobs pop out. I did enjoy the back of the shirt. I love the bright colors of this Universe collection but I would have picked something else. I did also enjoy the front of the shirt with its breathable /moving space while working out.
