hopeless
by: colleen hoover
Sometimes discovering the truth can leave you more hopeless than believing the lies...
That's what Sky realizes after she meets Dean Holder. A guy with a reputation that rivals her own and an uncanny ability to invoke feelings in her she's never had before. He terrifies her and captivates her all in the span of one encounter, and something about the way he makes her feel sparks buried memories from a past she wishes could just stay buried.
Sky struggles to keep him at a distance knowing he's nothing but trouble, but Holder insists on learning everything about her. After finally caving to his unwavering pursuit, Sky soon finds that Holder isn't at all who he's been claiming to be. When the secrets he's been keeping are finally revealed, every single facet of Sky's life will change forever.
Add this one to the to-read list as well. I just finished and I gotta say my eyes are killing. Not because of any crying, which surprisingly I didn't do with this book, but because it's really long and I read it in one sitting. Yeah, I know, I should probably get a life but what's the fun in that? Reading is way cooler because I can go anywhere, be anyone, and do anything with just a flip of a page. In case you don't know this is also the author of another fave book of mine called 'Slammed'. She is amazing and really writes books with depth. Everything means something in them and they are so touching. No the most realistic of the contemporary fiction young adult novels out there but it's still a good read. And like before I had this book mapped out way before the author gave any foreshadowing or hints. Sometimes it would be nice if my brain would turn off so I could just be shocked and surprised by an outcome. Nonetheless it's an awesome book and you should totally go check it out when you get some free time. But like I said, it seemed really long because it took me all day to knock out. Side Note: reading is like a diet because I haven't touched anything since breakfast (10am in my world) and it's already 10pm. So yeah, not only are books way cool and take me on adventures but they make me skinner! Gotta love that, right? But seriously, now that my brain is fried and I am no longer distracted I am going to binge! Commence raiding the fridge...

Why do i do this to myself?
Why do I do this to myself? Both of these authors crawl under my skin! Don't get me wrong, their books are great, but OMG they piss me off to no end! After telling myself over and over again I would not read the second book in the 'Avoiding' series here I am posting a blog about buying it. It just kept staring back at me on amazon just taunting me... ahhh! I'm pretty sure I am going to pull my hair out reading that one because I was nearly bald after the last book. Her characters just make me want to reach into the pages and shake their stupid asses. The the author who wrote, 'Taking Chances' has a new one out that I kept trying to avoid but somehow got sucked into it's tempting little grasp. Both series are a love-hate relationship with me. But, I buy the books, I read the books, I review the books & I blog about the books so that has to mean something right? Both of these books that I am going to link below are the kind that you want to hate but you just secretly love the torment they put you through. Well, wish me luck because I'm biting the bullet and reading them.
