Life Update + Mini Book Reviews

Hello, everyone! I haven't posted anything since my first book review of the year. It's only March 8, but this year has been awfully rough for me. 

In December I went through a really nasty breakup. Whilst still reeling from that I had a client go into a seizure on me at work, by the time they got her to the hospital she had very little brain activity and her mother decided to take her off the ventilator. I knew her from before working with her so I took it especially hard.
A few weeks after that, my half-sister's sister got into an accident with a train and she ended up passing away along with her friend. Seeing my sister so distraught really took a toll on me too.
Finally, my uncle got a really bad infection in his arm and had to go stay in the hospital for 15 days. He's rather old and I think he knows his time is up soon because he refused to stay in the hospital any longer. He checked himself out against the wishes of others and is home now. He had a heart attack yesterday morning but was revived. Hospice is in his home now and I suppose it's just a waiting game now.

In 4 short months so much has happened but I'm trying my hardest to remain as positive as I can. Sometimes it's hard and I break down but I always manage to get myself back up and keep it moving. A few good things have happened as well. I found a person I really enjoy spending time with. He likes the same music I do and enjoys showing me new movies and music. He's been my silver lining in all of this recently and I'm really appreciative of all the support he's given me.

Survive The Night by Danielle Vega - I gave this a 4/5 stars simply for how weird it was. It went from a normal creepy book to WTF really quick and I love that. I read a lot of reviews on Goodreads that were less than great but if you want an easy to get through book that will leave you saying ummm...what? This one is the one for you.

Tommyland by Tommy Lee - 4/5 Everyone knows Motley Crew's drumer Tommy Lee. The guy I'm talking to lent me this book to read. Another reason why I really enjoy him because never have I talked to someone who recommended me a book before. I devoured it in about a week and we actually talked about it. I don't listen to Motley but hearing how wild Tommy and the band were was pretty cool. There were some parts that made me cry and some parts that made me howl with laughter. I definitely recommend it!

Beautiful Broken Girls by Kim Savage - This one follows two sisters and their cousin who the whole town is obsessed with. After the three girls' deaths one of the sister's, Mira, left notes for Ben. These are clues that led him to the truth about what really happened with the girls. I can't give too much away but if you like stories with tragedy, a bit of intrigue, obsessive teenage boys, and mysterious girls this one is for you!

I received a wonderful package from Entangled: Teen with Crave by Tracy Wolff. It's been quite a long time since I read a book about vampires. I'm a little bit into it and it has quite a few tropes I despise, yet for nostalgia I'm gonna stick with it. I'm getting Twilight vibes even though the setting for this is a boarding school in the middle of a snowy nowhere. It came with a ton of swag and I enjoy the cover quite a bit.

Thanks for visiting and I'll see you all next time!
