Second Chance Sunday – I..

Okay, I’m going to admit to the thing you should never admit to. I waited to read this book because of the cover. I know right? I did the cliche thing and judged a book by its cover. Well shame on me because I’m Not Her was a story that should be read immediately and should be read often. The cover says nothing about the amazingness in the pages and the heartbreaking story of a family having to deal with something no family should have to be put through. This book made me smile and cry and smile again. I’m […]

So I must admit, I really tried to rebel and not read this book like I did with Twilight(and will continue to do), but after the 7th person told me to read it and someone voted for Peeta on the book boyfriend list I created I caved. I bought it on my NOOK for a markdown price and I was thrilled. In my head, I’m thinking why pay full price for a book that I have no interest in.
