Eat Real Rood By: Julie Montagu Book Review

I loved this book! It is well written, in a form everyone can relate and understand. This book is about having the power to change how we eat. By changing what we buy in the grocery store and picking the right foods that our body needs in order to have authentic energy, glowing skin, and being happy. It helped me get a better understanding on how we should clean our body with healthier foods and improving our overall health. I liked how this book had a lot of nutritional facts. I even tried doing some of the recipes provided and the food came out really good! (Quinoa Stuffed Green Peppers were my favorite). Each chapter has about 7 good easy recipes to make and try out. I even tried doing some yoga and meditation exercises though out the days. I enjoyed the 5 simple rules of eating out. They were clearly identified and easy to remember.  

I also really loved the whole layout of this book and how nicely it is broken down into sections. Simple explanations were said for each topic, the 7 recipes were clearly followed and separated by each category, and the exercises where nicely written in a form we can all understand.

I am defiantly buying this book and keeping it in my kitchen. 

All The Missing Girls By: Megan Miranda -Book Review

This book is about Nicolette, a girl who returns to her home town ten years after the disappearance of her best friend, Corinne. Not long after she returns another girl, Annalise goes missing. Now again the same set of friends and family in the little town are all potential suspects in both cases. 

OMG, In my opinion, I really can not say how much I loved this book. I haven't read a thriller book in so long that was this good! The characters are very complex and wonderful. The whole atmosphere of the book is amazing. It gradually pulls you into the creepy woods and crime scenes. I had an idea of who the killer was at first, but nooo! I really enjoyed the unique set up of the book and felt that it added tension to the story. This book is told backward. After a brief introduction, the story jumps ahead fifteen days and then counts down, day by day, until we reach the beginning again. It was like following a mystery trail. It was a little confusing at first due to it working backwards in time and it was hard to go back and forth to keep up in the book. But with all the twists and turns, it was a gripping story well worth the time to read. This story was a truly compelling read that I enjoyed almost all of the way through.  If you have read Gone Girl, this book is a read for you!

"Living in the Moment" By: Dani DiPirro Book Review

Book Review: 

This is a beautiful little book full of encouraging quotes on how to start living in the moment/ present. One of my favorite quotes: “Staying present by not worrying about the future”  This book teaches us how to start having confidence in ourselves, to not look back, and to keep going forward while living in the present. To me, this is a type of book I could read over and over thought out life and never get bored. It is very motivating and life changing. I read this whole book in a day. I do however feel this book should be read thought out the year as reminders. I am very happy I read this book. I loved all the great tips and examples given on each quote. I especially loved the “Top 10” reminders in the end. I received this ARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

"50 Ways to Yay!: Transformative Tools for Less Stress, More Presence, and a Whole Lot of Happy" By: Alexi Panos

I personally really enjoyed this book. I loved the way every concept, mission, and reflection are neatly divided into 50 chapters. The chapters are short, easy to read, and straight to the point.  I also really enjoyed Alexi’s examples and self exercises given for each chapter. I would highly recommend this book for all self-help lovers. I received this ARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. 

“The Rose Society” (The Young Elites #2) by: Marie Lu -Book Review

I enjoyed the first book, The Young Elites but I think I enjoyed this novel a little bit more. This book had adventure nonstop. The Rose Society picks up shortly after The Young Elites ended and we are again pulled back into Adelina’s story pretty quickly. I've loved Adelina from the beginning. She's strong and still stubborn and isn't afraid to fight for what she wants. However, Adelina is now losing her grip and control. She is constantly fighting between the good and evil within herself. I also loved the incorporation of all these new Elites. It adds so many more to the story line. And I have to say MAGIANO is by far my favorite of the new characters. Overall the writing was powerful and the emotions came across well. So much happens, so much is revealed, and is so much darker than the fist book. Allies betray each other and enemies work together all to serve their own ends. In a way, I wanted to see Adelina reunite with the Daggers. Instead Adelina is now out of control. The last thirty pages made my heart race and made me tear up and fear for a certain character’s life. Im excited yet scared to see what will happen in the next book. 

"The Julian Chapter"(Wonder 1.5) by: R.J. Palacio -Book Review

I loved The Julian Chapter. It was just perfect. we get to see Julian’s perspective of the bully. It opened my eyes and allowed me to see his side of the story and why he did the things he did. I believe the best part of the book was when Julian’s Grandma shared her past with him. We learn so much in this story, not just Julian. Best quotes: “One mistake does not define you” “Everyone has a story to tell” 

"The Perfectionists" (The Perfectionists #1) by: Sara Shepard -Book Review

The premise of this book, “The Perfectionist” is a lot like Shepard’s previous series “Pretty Little Liars” almost in everyway. However, this book does have some twists. The book features five girls, Parker, Julie, Caitlin, Ava and Mac who have all fallen victim of the horrible Nolan Hotchkiss. The five girls plan a supposed murder of Nolan but then later turns up dead, only they didn’t do it. I was quite surprised with the story and despite the various issues I had with it, I still enjoyed it. One issue was that there were so many characters it was very difficult for me to distinguish between them all and keep up. Also the betrayal of a lot of characters was huge in this book. But I liked how all the girls stuck together and supported one another. The ending was incredibly a cliffhanger. The book gives us no insight to who was the killer and why they did it. Now I’m so intrigued and eager to find out who the killer is. Overall, it was quick, entertaining, and fast paced book.

"The Young Elites" (The Young Elites #1) by: Marie Lu -Book Review

The Young Elites is a fast-paced, enjoyable story despite its drawback. Some characters were stronger than others. Adelina is such a rich character with faults and strengths. She stands out from all other characters I have read. I was also very pleased with Violetta’s character. She was given more depth that made the relationship between the two sisters quite exciting. I also loved the overall feel of this book. It is a fantasy, but has a historical feel to it. The ending really took this novel to a whole new level with its surprises and crazy ending no one was expecting. I’m very excited to read the next book in the series.

"Attachments" by: Rainbow Rowell -Book Review

I found myself unable to stop reading. I liked the fact that the chapters switched back and forth between Jennifer’s and Beth’s emails to Lincoln's thoughts. The friendship between Beth and Jennifer may have been my favorite part. Their personalities were very different. I thought they were hilarious and so realistic. I think that Rowell did an excellent job in portraying each character. I love all Rowell’s books. She amazed me with Eleanor and Park and absolutely blew my mind with Fangirl and now she made me fall in love all over again with Attachments! 

"Red Queen" by: Victoria Aveyard - Book Review

Red Queen is a world divided by blood red and silver. Those who have silver blood have special powers that believe make them the elite. Whereas the red blooded are treated as no more than servants and have no unique abilities. Not going to lie, but it was story was hard to follow and understand everything at first. But after that, Red Queen is a non-stop rollercoaster that will constantly keep readers guessing and leave them coming back and begging for more. I never knew and expected what was going to happen in the end. Overall, Red Queen met and exceeded my expectations. And the cover was absolutely gorgeous. I can’t wait to see where Victoria Aveyard takes the characters next. It’s going to be interesting. Can’t wait for more in this world!
