My book is just being featured on Colleen FREAKING Hoover’s facebook page right now! You know, best-selling author of amazing YA/NA books. She is one of my all time favorite authors and a huge inspiration. I knew she would be giving away an autographed copy of my book, but seeing it actually posted on her facebook, well, I might be freaking out. Just a little… All I can say is, Thank you so much Colleen! It is so nice that you are willing to help out other authors get their name out there and give them some publicity! You are one amazing person.

Okay, so I could gush all night, but I really need to go to sleep!

Go check out THIS post and see for yourself!

How people find me…

Yesterday I saw a video that Colleen Hoover posted about how people find her website with search terms. Some of the ones that she shared were quite hilarious! That prompted me to go look at the search terms that people used to get on my blogs. I started with this one, my author website, which yielded one interesting one, “guy sitting on a bench with a message or quotation pictures pictures.” Okay, so I think the quote part must have triggered that one. Then I moved on to my review blog.  Apparently 806 people were referred to my blog by using the search term “Demons.” I’m not quite sure what that says about my review blog. The last was my old writing blog, which mostly had poetry on it. The oddest search on that was, “the vibration of words cling.” I don’t even know what to say about that. How that resulted in my blog is one big mystery. Maybe because I use words to write? I found this entertaining and plan to pay more attention to this in the future. Do you have a blog? Well if you are looking for some entertainment, go check out what people search to find you! Feel free to leave a comment and share the craziest search you discover! 

Finding Cinderella by Colleen Hoover Review

finding-cinderella-by-colleen-hooverFinding Cinderella by Colleen Hoover

★★★★★

Daniel met the girl of his dreams in a dark closet by chance. He had no idea who she was or what she looked like, just that he shared the best experience of his life with her. A year later and a roller-coaster of a relationship with the wrong girl, he had since given up his search to find his Cinderella, when he met Six. Opinionated, straight to the point and an inappropriate sense of humor to match his, she was the perfect girl for him until a discovery challenged their relationship.

I LOVED this novella, and even though the ending was nicely tied up, I wanted more of Daniel and Six. I loved their story more than I expected. If the author decided to continue their story, I would not complain one bit.

I loved Daniel, when I got to meet him in Losing Hope as Holder’s best friend. He was always hilarious, and that hilarity did not easy up in this novella, it exploded throughout the text. I liked getting to know him and Six better through their own story. I got to see different sides of them that I didn’t get in Hopeless or Losing Hope. I didn’t realize what I was missing out on until I read Finding Cinderella.

The author always puts me under a spell with her words and stories. They are always beautiful and touch my heart in the most intimate ways. She is an amazing writer and I will read every book she comes out with, without hesitation.

The last reason why she is such an amazing author and I will always support her is how grateful she is of her readers. She wrote this novella and released it for FREE, a thank-you to her readers. I would have bought this book, and it would have been way worth it, and I know her other loyal readers would have done the same. As a loyal reader, this means a lot to me.

 I want to finish this review by saying thank you to Colleen Hoover for this gift and also continuously inspiring me.

Losing Hope by Colleen Hoover Review

17340050-1Losing Hope by Colleen Hoover
★★★★★ 

Just when Dean Holder gave up on finding Hope, he found her — a lot closer to home than he ever expected. Holder has a whirlwind of emotions and inner demons that he has to work through. The reason he does the things he does stems from childhood events that changed his life forever, along with unforgettable memories of a more recent tragedy.

In this book, I got to know Holder on a whole new level. I absolutely loved Hopeless. It is one of my all-time favorite books; and when I heard the author was releasing the story in Holder’s (one of my all-time favorite book boyfriends) point of view, I knew I had to have it. The story of Holder and Sky from Hopeless was so beautiful and tragic; and somehow, in Holder’s point of view, it was even more tragic. It made me love the characters and story even more.

I loved getting to know things about Holder I never knew and reasons behind the things he did in Hopeless that drove me nuts and had me thinking What the hell!? This wasn’t just Hopeless in Holder’s point of view; it was so much more. I really didn’t expect it to be as much of its own story like it was.

This story had its grip on me again from the very opening page, already throwing me into a scene I had never read before. I was hanging onto every word the author wrote, even the words that were from Hopeless because I was seeing them in a whole new way.

I didn’t think Colleen Hoover could break me again and make it so I couldn’t go on to read another book because I was so heartbroken over ending it like I was with Hopeless, but boy, was I wrong. When I finished the last beautifully written line, I found myself wondering how I would pick up another book again.

I loved meeting new characters like Holder’s friend Daniel. He was flipping awesome and made me laugh hysterically many times. The crap that came out of his mouth was ridiculous and awesome.

Long review short, this book was amazing, and I would highly recommend it! If you haven’t read Hopeless, read it and fall in love with Holder and then read this book and fall in love with him all over again, possibly even more than you did the first time. I know I did!

I received this book for review from Net Galley.
