Books I'm Hesitant to Read



There are many reasons different reasons to be hesitant to read a book. The hype may be too much, the sequel may not hold up to the first, or maybe the end to a cherished series seems to just be too final.

Two reasons keep me from reading this book. The first one is the hype. The hype is real for this book. I don't want the hype to get to me because I am known for working up high expectations for a hyped book.
The second reason is this has the potential to a very heartbreaking ending, and I just don't know if I am prepared for that roller coaster.

The Star Touched Queen
This book is so beloved in our community, and being perfectly honest that scares me. I don't want to be the one who doesn't like it. Let's be honest, no one wants to be that one reviewer who doesn't like a beloved book. Even though we all understand that in this community we all have different opinions, and I am proud that I am always honest with my opinions. Still I still don't like being the odd man out.

The Chemist It is no secret I LOVED Twilight. Like many others, Twilight got me back into reading as a teen. So When Meyer came out with The Chemist I was excited and scared. I haven't heard too many people talk about this book so I wonder if everyone is in the same boat. Meyer had such an impact on me when I was younger, I would be heart broken if The Chemist didn't hold up to my expectations. 
Lady Renegades I LOVED Rebel Belle! It was everything I could ask for in a fun read. This book had action, comedy, lovable characters, and a good plot. The second book in the story while still entertaining fell a little flat for me. When this book came out, I saw reviewers I trust not happy with this book at all. While I do always give a book a fighting chance, the reviews were not good. I am just simply afraid to have this series end on a sour let down note. 

Tower of Dawn Lastly I end with a book that I think most people are afraid to read. Don't get me wrong, I will be running to the stores the day this book is released, but I may stare at it for awhile before actually cracking it open. 
The twist that happened in the last TOG book has me on such edge that I don't want to read anything in this world till I know certain people are okay.
I am a choal fan I always have been, but I don't know how I feel about him have an entire book to himself. I am curious and hesitant to see how Tower of Dawn will hold up on it's own without our other beloved characters. I feel like it's a tad cruel to have us all read this book, and leave us on the cliff we were left holding on to from Empire of Storms.  I am holding on the the fact the Maas has never let me down so far, so hopefully she doesn't start now!
    
                       

Those are a few of the books I am hesitant to read. I would love to hear from you guys, and see if we have any of the same books on our list, or some of the same reasons. Leave me your thoughts in the comments.

BACK TO SCHOOL: Schools in Books

This week on Back to School I wanted to help you guys feel in sync with some great characters. I wanted to pick some books for you guys that I love that take place in school environments. Now school will not be the main point or problem these characters go through, but they do go through some of the tough situations and stress you guys do at school. Some characters live on campus and deal with the drama of being independent for the first time, missing home, the struggle of finding who they truly are, drama, and parties. College is a hard time for many people because you are finding your own self on your own terms. Mommy and daddy aren't there to tell you what to do or how to act. Some struggle while others flourish.   I HAD to put girls in this post that loved to learn and enjoyed the structure of school. I sometimes forget that learning can be looked at on a bright note. It's hard to remember that when you have 5 gazillion papers to write. I picked two girls I thought...

Back to School: Percy Jackson Style

As any fangirl or fanboy wherever you go you want to show your love of books. Being lovers of books we are a unique kind. We crush over fictional characters, they become our best friends, when they hurt we hurt. Books are our escape, our passion, our fun, hobby, friend, books are our lives. Pride comes with being a book nerd and it's something you should embrace. These books we love sometimes take over. We love them so much we want to be a part of that world. I wanted to help find ways for you to always feel close to your favorite books and characters. This week I wanted to do Percy Jackson because I mean who doesn't like Percy Jackson?! These outfits are loosely inspired by some of the loved characters from The Percy Jackson series or the book covers. I stayed on pinterest for hours (shocker right?) to find outfits that have simple pieces that you can find in your closet or wouldn't be hard to find for a good price at stores. I also wanted to find outfits that...

Review: Becoming Alpha by Aileen Erin

Title: Becoming Alpha  Author: Aileen Erin  Genre: Paranormal Fantasy  Pages: 267 Goodreads Overall Rating: 4.11 Published:  December 17th, 2013 by Ink Monster, LLC   My Rating:  I can’t do that. I can’t turn my emotions off and on like that. I’m either all in or all out. And if you can’t do that—if I don’t come first, then for God’s sake, leave me alone. Becoming Alpha is the true definition of YA paranormal fantasy and I devoured it. Erin took troupes that are known in YA and ran with them in fun, plausible, and exciting ways while taking her own spin on them. I sped through this book and right after I downloaded the next book in the series because I couldn't wait for the two-day shipping of the physical book.  At the beginning of the book, we meet our main character Tessa and her family. Tessa has an unusual gift and it has marked her as the odd girl out at and causing her to feel isolated. With her family...
