When Cassie Taylor met
Ethan Holt at acting school, sparks flew. She was the good girl actress.
He was the bad boy about campus. But one fated casting choice for Romeo
and Juliet changed it all. Like the characters they were playing,
Cassie and Ethan's romance seemed destined. Until he broke her heart and
betrayed her trust. Now the A-list heartthrob is back in her life and
turning her world around. One touch at a time.
Cast as romantic
leads once again, they're forced to confront raw memories of the
heartbreaking lows and pulse-pounding highs of their secret college
affair. But they'll also discover that people who rub each other the
wrong way often make the best sparks.
Hey
everyone and welcome back to my blog! I'm Genni and today I'll be
participating in my second Music Monday post! Music Monday is hosted
by Lauren @ Always Me.
Here are the rules:
Every Monday share one or two of songs you've been enjoying lately. It
doesn't have to be a specific genre, new, or one of your favorites -
just something you'd like to share with others. If possible, share a
music or lyric video of the song and your thoughts on the song(s),
artist(s), and/or music video(s).
This past weekend I saw Mamma Mia 2: Here We Go Again in theathers, and really liked it! Of course, after the movie I had so many ABBA songs in my head. These were the two that were on repeat, and are two of ABBA's biggest hits. I saw the first movie, Mamma Mia, when I was 9 years old, and fell in love with it! I was obsessed with the movie soundtrack, and have seen the film countless of times. I'm ecstatic that it got a sequel, and with such highly produced musical numbers!
Both of these were sung in the first movie as well! For Mamma Mia, Lily James sings instead of Meryl Streep, who sang in the first movie. Lily plays the same character as Meryl, but right after she graduates college in 1979.
The whole cast chimes in for Super Trouper, and it was so fun seeing them all dance and sing! Besides Mamma Mia songs, I have another song that I want to share! God is a Woman by Ariana Grande has been on repeat in my head!
This song is just so catchy, and it's amazing to dance to! Plus, I'm all about the feminist message! I'm not an uber-fan of Ariana Grande, but I do generally enjoy her singles. Her newest music has been more of my taste in comparison to some of her earlier work! And those are the songs stuck in my head this weekend! There are a couple others, but I'll be talking about them next Monday. :)
Have you listened to these songs? Do you like them, or are they not your taste?
Thanks so much for stopping by and I'll see you soon with another post!
Hi everyone and welcome back to my blog! I'm Genni, and today I'll be doing the Cake Flavored Book Tag! This tag was originally created by Cait from Paperfury, and I saw it recently on Jessica's blog, A GREAT Read! I normally don't do tags that often, but the cake was calling to me!
Throughout Reign the Earth, there is almost never a light-hearted moment. Things keep getting worse and worse for Shalia. The tension keeps ramping up, and Shalia gets herself in some very dangerous situations. The ending is heartbreaking, and I can't wait for the sequel.
Hi everyone and welcome back to my blog! I'm Genni, and today I'll be looking at what I read in July!July was a month of contemporary reads for me. No matter what, I was in the mood to read about romance, which is obvious in this wrap up. Now, onto the 13 books I read this past month!
Ice Kissed is the second book in Hocking's Kanin Chronicles, which is comprised of three books. I wrote a review on the first book here. I didn't write a review of Ice Kissed, because I started to read the third and final book, Crystal Kingdom, right away. I thought Ice Kissed was okay, but not much in terms of conflict was accomplished. In fact, the plot became more complex and added more characters. This would have been fine if the series was four or more books, but it left a lot to cover in just one book.
Whew, you guys, I'm sad to say: I did not like this one at all. The plot was okay, but the way Katie McGarry handled sexual assault was insulting and disturbing. McGarry regularly blames the main character, who experiences the assault. In this new age of paying attention and holding people accountable for sexual violence, I was shocked to see such blatant victim-blaming. Ugh.
Hi everyone and welcome back to my blog! I'm Genni, and today I'll be doing a little announcement post for a readathon! I've participated in the make Me Read It Readathon for two years (I think), and I love it! The readathon is hosted by Val @ The Innocent Smiley and Ely @ Of Wonderland. Here is the low down of the readathon!
Hi everyone and welcome back to my blog! I'm Genni, and today I'm just here to post a quick little announcement! I started a new twitter profile specifically for my blog! My first profile, @gennireads, was originally for my blog, but many of my friends in real life follow it. I always struggled with whether or not I should post my blog posts onto that twitter account, as I knew many of my followers weren't interested in the blogging or book community. I also didn't want to just post about my normal life, because there was a good chunk of followers from the blogging community! Ergo, I never tweeted! To solve this problem, I made two different accounts. The new account is for my blog. You can visit my profile here, or look me up! My twitter handle is @genniblogs. Also, I changed the twitter logo on the right sidebar to link up to @genniblogs. With this change, expect to see many more tweets from me! I'll be posting about my reviews and other posts on the blog, as well as my thoughts while reading, and maybe my take on some bookish drama! If you also have a twitter, please comment your username below! I'd love to follow you and talk with you more. :)
Thank you so much for stopping by and I'll see you soon with another post!
Title: Sanctuary Author: Caryn Lix Series? I couldn't find any information on a sequel, but there is room for another book. However, if the this could stand alone. Publication Date: July 24, 2018 Publisher: Simon Pulse Source: I received an e-arc of Sanctuary via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own. :)
Alien meets Alexandra Bracken’s The Darkest Minds
in this thrilling debut novel about prison-guard-in-training, Kenzie,
who is taken hostage by the superpowered criminal teens of the Sanctuary
space station—only to have to band together with them when the station
is attacked by mysterious creatures.
Kenzie holds one truth above all: the company is everything.
As
a citizen of Omnistellar Concepts, the most powerful corporation in the
solar system, Kenzie has trained her entire life for one goal: to
become an elite guard on Sanctuary, Omnistellar’s space prison for
superpowered teens too dangerous for Earth. As a junior guard, she’s
excited to prove herself to her company—and that means sacrificing
anything that won’t propel her forward.
But then a routine drill goes sideways and Kenzie is taken hostage by rioting prisoners.
At
first, she’s confident her commanding officer—who also happens to be
her mother—will stop at nothing to secure her freedom. Yet it soon
becomes clear that her mother is more concerned with sticking to
Omnistellar protocol than she is with getting Kenzie out safely.
As
Kenzie forms her own plan to escape, she doesn’t realize there’s a more
sinister threat looming, something ancient and evil that has clawed its
way into Sanctuary from the vacuum of space. And Kenzie might have to
team up with her captors to survive—all while beginning to suspect
there’s a darker side to the Omnistellar she knows.
