The Book Talk

  Every Day by David Levithan  - Contemporary fiction, YA    Day 6034. I finished Every Day by David Levithan. I think this book is the literal description of my type of genre when it comes to reading. This book made me feel like breathing on a cloud, and running through the sand on the beach at sunset. I can tell that ever since finishing this book, I am going to be keeping this story close to my heart. I loved the short chapters and getting to see how A’s eyes were looking at a total stranger in the mirror every day, because it kind of re-centered myself…   I had seen this movie a while ago, but I did not really remember the specific details included in it, so when I saw this book at Barnes and Noble it called to me. After reading the first sentence “I wake up. Immediately I have to figure out who I am” I don’t think I have ever related more to a quote than I had to this one. It reminded me of who I start my day with every day, every once in a w...

  In Five Years by Rebecca Serle  Fiction, romance   “I used to think that the present determined the future. That if I worked hard, and long, I'd get the things I wanted. The job, the apartment, the life. That the future was simply a mound of clay waiting to be told by the present, what form to take. But that isn't true. It can't be.” I am not really sure how I should start this review, and that says a lot about how this book affected me. But I have decided to start it by saying that many laughs and tears later, this book makes me want a friendship like the relationship that Bella and Dannie had more than anything. I guess as a fourteen year old, it is hard to see and watch other people become happy in stories, after finding their soulmates, as I am stuck being a freshman in highschool with no kisses or loves to tell about. Bella and Dannie were inseparable from babies to snuggling together watching rom coms at thirty years old: so it was so much harder to watch that bri...

All Your Perfects by Colleen Hoover   Fiction, romance      I have read lots, and I mean, lots of Colleen Hoover books, but I have to say this book definitely left one of the biggest dents. The beginning of this book kind of reminded me of another one of her novels, Ugly Love, because of the way two of the main characters met in the same way: the male was trying to get into the apartment of someone close to the female…both ending not in the greatest ways, lol. Anyways, the main aspect of this book is that it switches from the time Graham and Quinn met to seven years later when they are married.     The second chapter of this book jumped right into their struggles, and it hit deeply. Obviously I can not relate to anything about marriage and infertility, but from the second chapter I was crying. Throughout the book Quinn struggles with infertility after trying for a baby with Graham for more than almost five years. It was heartbreaking having to read abo...

  Kingdom of Ash by Sarah J. Maas   Fantasy, fiction   It may be 10pm on a Sunday night, and I may still have lots of biology homework to do: but the main point of this sentence is that I finished KOA. Wow, I think that sentence deserves a nomination. Ahhhh, guys I finished the Throne of Glass series! I was up last night pretty much staring at the wall, because I had such an adventure while reading all eight of the books that make up this series, and now it is done. This book was 980 something pages (probably one of the longest books I will read this year, and have read ever), and I finished a little three fourths of it yesterday! I think I am going to need to split this review into parts based on the characters and couples that grew throughout the whole story: but I think we have to start with our main loves, Aelin and Rowan! I loved both of these characters from the first page of Throne of Glass , especially how strong and bad ass Aelin was and became. SJM de...

Hola mis amigos, I just wanted to come on here and say that I have started posting my poetry on Wattpad! I only have about three stories posted with different themed collections of my poems.  If anyone is interested in reading the poems my account name is ( rubyrose_55) !  Here are some example photos that include some entries from my first book called Dear World by Ruby Davis :)

  Maybe Now by Colleen Hoover  Romance, collection of fiction  Finishing this book just made my “Books Read Goal” of 2022 reach up to four books read so far! I know I also have kind of been on a Colleen Hoover reading rage, but I can’t help it. Her books are so freaking beautiful and intriguing, while also still being extremely heartbreaking and scarring… Anyways, I would like to start off this review by saying how handsome Ridge Larson is. I mean not only is the way he is described cute, but he is also a musical genius, so that is a major bonus, haha. As I am trying to learn how to play guitar and piano, I loved getting to see how Ridge and Sydney created music together throughout the book- and the songs were included!! Colleen has such great little aspects she adds to her books to add much more meaning and it creates more of an experience to the reader. I was enthralled throughout this whole book, and I loved it switched perspectives of four of the main characters!...

November 9 by Colleen Hoover                                                                                 Romance, contemporary fiction Hello everyone and welcome back to yet another Colleen Hoover review :) Two days ago I decided to  take on the well known novel. November 9. And let me tell you what a book this was!  I think a lot of people can say that any book by Hoover causes trauma, and the kind that keeps you up at night silently crying while thinking to yourself about the ending of the story…. So, as per usual this book made me shed multiple tears and made me question lots of things including whether the main characters even loved each other throughout the story. But I can also say that this book was beautiful and I loved the way t...
