I may never get published but I have at least accomplished something I never thought I would and I'm proud of the fact that I wrote one period! I will continue to write regardless of the outcome because I have a story in my head to tell and it wants out.
Until then I still love to read as much as I can!
The Chosen by J.R. WardMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Well I devoured this book in 48 hours. I was so excited to read it and it did not disappoint for me even though Qhuinn was ridiculous and part of me understood his struggle. He's always been a dramatic hothead and that's part of why I love him. He and Blay had very questionable actions for me as did Layla. I understood her stance but why didn't she understand anyone elses? She came off a little entitled at times but I guess as a Chosen that goes with the territory. Xcor well I have loved him since his beginning his trauma side by side with V's who is probably my fave Brother although I love them all...except Phury who has seemed to have faded away into obscurity and even though Rhevenge is not a Brother it would be nice to see him back somewhere as well.
I didn't find the story as strong as some of JR Wards others but that didn't dim my love of the of the series as a whole and I will continue to eat through her books. Her writing is comfortable to me and I missed the Brothers as soon as I finish the book. It doesn't matter if it's a BDB or a Legacy story they're a part of my world.
Forever and always.

Morning Star by Pierce BrownMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This Trilogy I waited until I read all of before I said anything and I read all 3 books within a weeks time pretty much after I committed to Red Rising which was my off and on book while I read a couple of others but once I was invested and the story took hold it was at the forefront of my mind and really, really hard to put down.
Darrows story and his battle with himself about why he was doing the things he did sat heavy with me like I could completely understand the struggle he had with his identity and the people around him, his friends, his enemies, his loves. There were betrayals I didn't see coming and I believe it or not even shed a tear for more than one big man. The society that was built on the dust of the Reds was indulging and sad but so familiar.
There were a couple of characters that disappeared from the story that I would have liked to see more of like Evey but she wasn't necessary to the story anymore.
I have to say that this Trilogy was exciting to read and kept me up at night because I couldn't close the book.
I can't wait for Iron Gold which is a new Trilogy but has characters we know and love within the pages.
