Forever Book Review

March 20, 2013

   If you’ve been following my blog you’ve seen my review of the first two books in this series.  The recap: loved the first – didn’t care for the second.  I went into the third hoping the author was going to redeem the trilogy and tie up all the loose ends in the third…no suck luck 🙁 
     For me, the book moved way to slow for the fact that, just like in the second, nothing really happened until the very end.  By the time something did happen I was so over the main characters that I couldn’t dig up enough emotion to care what finally happened to them.
    We also got very little closure on the Isabel and Cole scene too.  It seemed like both characters grew up in the third book and became real people, but then Cole’s actions at the very very end made him seem like the same self-centered jerk all over again.
    I also may be over critical on this point again, but I also really didn’t like the red font.  Other than going with the dust jacket I don’t really see the point of changing the color and straining your eyes for so long.
   Long and short…read the first and skip the other two.

Bath and Body Works Vs. Perfume

March 19, 2013

     I always like the name brand perfume, but thought $60 per bottle – Yikes!  I then went and bought Bath and Body Works thinking the $10 or $12 products were saving me money.  After they discontinued my favorite scents, yet again,  I gave it some thought.  Was I really saving any money??

Anniversary Page

March 12, 2013

At the end of February I did a page from our first family vacation. The first day also happened to be our sixth anniversary so this page is the 2nd of that pair.  My parents entertained M while we took a few hours to have an adult meal, and by adult I mean…was still hot and didn’t involved any spit up…haha.  I’m not very good at ensuring I’m in the pictures so here’s a rare one of me! 


Since I’ve been trying to use some new techniques I used a tucked away tag for my journalling. I think for having so many pictures (something also not normal for me) it was the perfect way to include a little note for M. 
Up next in my scrapbook life is some pictures of Pop using two new things for me.  Stay tuned.

Linger Book Reveiew

March 11, 2013

     After really enjoying Shiver (you can see my review here) I decided to continue on with the trilogy.  The second book was Linger, and I didn’t enjoy this nearly as much as the first.  It was pretty much a whole lot of nothing to get to the plot (which you knew in the first ten minutes anyway) during the last 3 pages. 
     I continued to like Sam and feel indifferent about Grace.  I did however really dislike the turn the book took with her parents.  They go from the carefree, never home types to grounding her, taking about her cell phone and forbidding her to see Sam every again.  It came across very contrived. 
     I did however like the introduction of Isabel and Cole’s point of view, but the conflict with them went nowhere and really left you hanging.  Don’t get me wrong, I know an author has to leave loose ends to get you to read the next book, but for me this wasn’t loose ends…it was more of get you involved with the characters and then completely drop you.  I really hope to see this resolved in book three.
     I also disliked the green type.  I’m using it here to stay with the theme, but I found it hard to read in more than small doses.  I will read book three only to see if something gets resolved, but I have to say I don’t really have high hopes at this point for liking it.
