Truly, Madly by Heather Webber (Review)


I received this ARC around fall last year and the cover was so purple & pink that I knew it had to be my Valentine's weekend date. Fastforward, it is now the 12th of Feb and I sat down with it and Tah-dah! I am already done.






I can't say it was the best book ever because for one I hate for my paranormal romantic comedies to be a series, which this is. And normally I say I hate something and right away I am proven to be an idiot because I read a book and presto, I love it. Example I don't like witch book last night I finished a witch book I loved. I don't like psychic books and yeah I can say I still do not like psychic books. All the same this book was a breezy and entertaining read. Wish it was a standalone that had other characters that a series could be made from like a sister and friends quest for love but no.



I highly recommend this book because it was well done, engaging and the characters were laugh out loud adorable funny!

I've got mail & She's got swaaaaag

I've got class of 2K10 swag.  Bookmark and Post Card.   On the back of each has the list of the class members.  I have to say it's a class full of cool kids!  (@classof2k10) They are on twitter.

This is the prize I won from Shannon Delany (@shannon_delany) http://13-to-life-a-werewolf-tale.blogspot.com/
Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher Clay Jensen returns home from school to find a mysterious box with his name on it lying on his porch. Inside he discovers several cassette tapes recorded by Hannah Baker--his classmate and crush--who committed suicide two weeks earlier. On tape, Hannah explains that there are thirteen reasons why she decided to end her life. Clay is one of them. If he listens, he'll find out how he made the list.
Through Hannah and Clay's dual narratives, debut author Jay Asher weaves an intricate and heartrending story of confusion and desperation that will deeply affect teen readers. (via Jay Asher's website)

I can't wait to read this book.  I think I will relate to this book.  I was very agnsty, to say the least, as a teen and considered committing suicide numerous of times.  It's an issue I hold close to my heart.  So YAY!

Thanks SHANNON!  She also sent 2 window decals, chocolate which are gooone!  Myco-workers were all over it.  And a mini post-it pad...I laughed so hard at it.  Its a joke.  I completely love Shannon Delany, who is part of the class of 2010 with her debut book 13 to Life: a werewolf's tale






I also won this in a contest at LibraryThings.com and St. Martin Press sent it to me! Yaaay!  I am a valentine's baby so I loooove cupid books. :-}  Truly, Madly by Heather Webber (Heather Webber)
