Review: The Siren by Kiera Cass

Series: Stand alone  Author Kiera Cass Overall Goodreads Rating: 3.91 Genre: Young Adult Romance Fantasy  Pages : 336 Published:   January 26th 2016 by HarperTeen My overall Rating: 4/5 Stars IN A NUTSHELL This book was a pleasant surprise. The writing was beautiful and lyrical. I was reminded of The Little Mermaid in the best of ways. There was insta-love, but it was expected and tolerable.

Akinli is human—a kind, handsome boy who's everything Kahlen ever dreamed of. Falling in love puts them both in danger . . . but Kahlen can't bear to s...

Valentines Day Date Ideas for Book Lovers

I am so excited to start my Valentines series today! I have so many ideas centering around books and Valentines day. The first post in this series of course if date ideas. This way it gives you time to plan and save up! First I have to use my husbands idea! HARRY POTTER THEMED PROM/DINNER Last year for Valentines day he surprised me with a Harry Potter themed "Prom" When I walked in there was a owl balloon with a note attached with it. The note was asking me to prom, and told me to change into a nice dress. When I got to the closet he had instructions telling me to go to the basement when I was ready, and the pictures tell the rest of the story. He made the recipes from the Harry Potter cookbook. He also had brooms and wands.  This had to be my favorite part. Nice and simple but so creative and added the perfect touch!  Rewrite a story: If you both are into a certain book talk about different ways it could had ended. Grab a big pot of coffee or tea...
