Cover reveal! Tough Love by Marcie A. Bridges

Tough Love

Janessa knows she should run in the other direction when Brendan enters her life. Her squeaky-clean upbringing is in direct opposition to his piercings, a myriad of tattoos and the rumors that surround him. But she doesn’t run. Love, betrayal and lies become the foundation of their lives, but one heartbreaking confession makes Janessa question everything. After a devastating diagnosis, Janessa’s world crumbles around her. When she can no longer ignore the reality of who Brendan really is, she must choose between those who love her and the only one she has ever loved.

Coming October 1

Literary Addicts Weekly Meme – What is the best movie based on the book?

literaryaddictsmeme

What is the best movie based on the book?

For me, it was The Secret Life of Bees. They kept close to the book and the casting was fabulous. We all know that casting can really ruin a movie for the book lover. They made lots of changes to the Harry Potter movies, but the casting was so good for those movies, it didn’t bother me as much. Twilight on the other hand, had such poor casting choices that it really made the movies less enjoyable for me. I love to watch a movie and relive the book and The Secret Life of Bees did that for me.

Fade into the Woodwork by Kristina Circelli Book Release

by Kristina Circelli

Abducted in broad daylight, locked away in a basement cage, starved for food and light – how would you escape your prison? Valentina Murdoch finds herself asking that same question after she is attacked and kidnapped one ordinary morning. Brought to a secluded hideaway in the middle of the woods to await her fate at the hands of “the boss,” she has but days to survive. Utilizing her love of action movies to create a plan, Valentina plots her escape while battling a crippling fear of the dark – for the dark is where her childhood nightmare lurks, waiting for her one moment of weakness. But as the clock winds down and her husband’s search for her threatens his own life, Valentina realizes that her true fight lies within herself. Will she have the strength to survive, or will the dark – and all the figures that haunt it – finally win?

Literary Addicts Weekly Meme – Hated Required School Reading

literaryaddictsmeme

What book were you required to read in school that you absolutely hated?

Ugh…Lord of the Flies. Although I may have liked it if wasn’t for the tedious picking apart of every little thing in that book. I mean we all like discussing books and what it means, but this one just seemed too much. It just never ended. Sometimes you just want to READ. I don’t feel it is necessary to dissect every scene, every word… you get the idea. This book was just chock full of things for the teacher to point out to us. I have reread couple of books from high school like The Gret Gatsby and Catcher in the Rye. I found they were quite different to read as an adult. But can’t bring myself to reread Lord of the Flies. Just the word conch makes me cringe.

What book did you have to read you hated?
