10 Things I Can See From Here: Review

This book was very powerful for me. Anxiety is something I struggle with daily, and it was nice to read something that made it seem like something normal that people go through. It was a very funny book and it was extremely moving. I loved everything about this book and cannot wait to read more from this author.

The Roanoke Girls: Review

The Roanoke Girls

The Roanoke Girls by Amy Engel is a compelling novel about real issues. It is about a girl who struggles with suicide and is sent to live with her grandparents. Eleven years later, Lane is in Los Angeles and her grandfather calls her and tells her that her cousin is missing. Is she gone? Is she dead?

I really enjoyed Engel's writing and I thought it was very intriguing.

Things We Lost in the Fire: Review

This book was very well written, it just wasn't my type of book. It was a collection of short stories. All of the stories are historically correct, and historical fiction isn't my type of thing. I gave it 4 stars for the main reason that I strongly dislike history and anything to do with it.

The Sun is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon Review

The Sun is Also a Star is a beautiful novel about one teen that believes only in science and another who believes solely in love. Nicola Yoon did an amazing job with this book. I loved this book for a number of reasons, one being that the main character, Natasha, always said what she felt. She never held back and she tried to always be straightforward with the other main character, Daniel. Yoon also does an amazing job showing how hard it is for two races to mix, especially when the parents are immigrants.
I read this book in two days flat, and I seriously could not have loved it more. I seriously recommend this book to any YA reader, or really anyone who likes unusual romance stories. This book is spectacularly written and it is one of the best contemporary books I've read in a long time.

I received this book from Blogging for Books in exchange for this review.

Shaken by Tim Tebow Review

Shaken: Tim Tebow

"Continue to fight. Continue to hope. Continue to have faith. I promise  you it's worth it."-Tim Tebow in Shaken

And I promise you it's worth it to read this book. Tim Tebow has a strong message for Christians young and old in his new book, Shaken. This book is about standing firm in Christ when it seems that your foundation is shaken. It's about Tebow's losses and how he recovered from them. He mentions a lot about children he's met through the W15H (pronounced "wish") program, which gives disabled kids a chance to do whatever they want to do for the day. Shaken is Scripture-based, most importantly, which adds God's perspectives on Tebow's experiences and how he could have or did do what God wanted him to.

This book is a wonderful read. I loved the way Tebow incorporated stories from his football career into how to be a better Christian and live your life for Jesus. The book sis based on the quote, "It's not about who you are, it's about whose you are" and Tebow did a fantastic job including this quote throughout the book. Tebow also did a wonderful job at showing that identity is more than what we do- it's who we do it for.

I give this book 5 stars because it is a light and easy read, but it is filled with so much depth and insight. Tebow really did an impeccable job on this book and topic. He includes all aspects of identifying yourself in Christ and gave personal experiences to back up his ideas. I believe wholeheartedly that Tim Tebow is an excellent role model for Christians everywhere, simply based on the fact that he knows who he is in Christ, and he is willing to stand up for what he believes in.

Me Before You: My Review

Me Before You: My Review

Me Before You is about an Englishwoman, Louisa Clark, who gets a job working for a quadriplegic, Will Traynor. He is a complete jerk to her in the beginning because he feels that his life sucks, which let's be honest: It kinda does. He can only move a few fingers from the neck down. As he starts to warm up to her, she starts to like him. But when Louisa finds out something that is unimaginable about Will, how will she proceed with her choice to work for him?

When I was reading Me Before You, I fell in love with it so fast. I loved how much it changed my life. It changed my way of thinking, my way of acting, and my way of loving. It completely encaptured the thought processes going through someone's head when they are falling love. I absolutely love this book! I would recommend it to anyone who loves unique love stories and love a good cry.
