Weekend read!!

Image
So I sat here though out the week thinking of books and what not and I know I do a post called PaperbackFriday but I don't always finish the book on Friday when I start it. It may take me until Sunday or even Monday to finish the book so I am going to change up the #PaperbackFriday to #PBwkendread I think that will work so much better for me though I tried to find something shorter to use lol.  If you care to join in on what you are reading for the weekend just use the hashtag PBwkendread and you can use the hashtag anywhere twitter, facebook, your blog. So what are you reading this weekend? This weekend I am reading Too many deaths, too many terrifying visions and sleepless nights have taken their toll on Lucy Dennison. She wonders if she can trust anyone or anything anymore - even her own mind. Lucy knows there must be something, somewhere that can tell her why she was chosen to receive the terrible visions, why she feels the sinister presence all around her. As Lu

Title: ZIA: The Teenage Zombie and The UnDead Diaries Author: Angela Scott Publishing Oct. 6, 2015 Publisher: Black Pines Press Pages: 251 Genre: Zombies, Teens, YA Review: ebook provided by Story Cartel Buy Links: Amazon , Amazon.uk  Zia would give anything to be a typical teenager... again. Heck, she’d settle for being a vampire or smelly werewolf, but a member of the walking dead? The lowliest of all the monsters? No way! Nothing is worse than being a skin-sloughing, limb-losing, maggot-housing, brain-craving undead girl. Nothing. It wouldn’t be so bad if humans didn’t insist on “Living Impaireds” wearing bands to keep their insatiable appetites in check. And if LIs want to coexist with humans, then rules must be followed, no matter how ludicrous they might seem. Why do undead teenagers have to go to high school anyway? Zia does her best to blend in and go unnoticed, but when a new group of LIs are bused in from another school and she finds herself part of a growing

Review: Love's River: Laura Sullivan

Image
I received this product to give an honest review. What can I say about this music that probably hasn't been said before? I am really impressed with the songs on the track. They are just perfect to listen to whenever, they just make you seem to forget everything around you while you just focus on the music and listen to the instruments being played. I can honestly say I have always loved how a piano has been played and always wished I had learned it. She author has done a remarkable job with the sound of the piano along with other musical instruments to where they go together just right. To me this music feels as though it has a story to be told through the music with no words being spoken, I once again wish I had just one favorite track number but I don't. Though I have to say Holding Heaven was the one song that called out to me. I can not pinpoint exactly what it is about the song but it just has me sit back and just calmly breath and let everything go. If you haven'

Review: Pianoscapes for the Trails of North America: Laura Sullivan

Image
I received this product to give an honest review. So the author contacted me and asked me if I would like to review her work. I jumped on bored pretty quickly this type of music just really calls to me. It is something I can listen to whenever and it makes me feel mellow and calm. It is something that I can have playing in the background when I am writing reviews, reading, cooking just whatever I happen to be doing. It is also great to listen in the car and at bedtime. Pianoscapes For The Trails of North America is a mixture of the musical instruments guitar, piano, and string instruments. It all goes together wonderful as soon as one song ends you are swept away with another song that is just as beautiful and fulfilling. I wish I could tell you that track number 3 or track 7 was my favorite but it isn't true all of them are my favorite to listen to. I am really glad to have learned about this Grammy Winning Artist because she has a new fan and one that will be looking at
