I wanted to say that this book was not what I expected In a good way. When I started reading I couldn't put it down. Something about Ned made me realize he is someone I could relate to.  S.J. Sherwood I really enjoyed every detail of this book. I loved the characters with their weaknesses and strengths. I found that they each had their own story to tell as being one of The Denounced. Each character had a way in giving something of their own knowledge and experiences to contribute to their 'family.' Overall, The Grey Sun: Book 1 of The Denounced series gives me hope in what kind of dystopic world that Ned Hunter is living. Also I am super excited for the second book. This book was provided to me NetGalley for an honest review.

This review may contain spoilers----- Summary of the Book based from Goodreads: Simon Snow is the worst chosen one who’s ever been chosen. That’s what his roommate, Baz, says. And Baz might be evil and a vampire and a complete git, but he’s probably right. Half the time, Simon can’t even make his wand work, and the other half, he sets something on fire. His mentor’s avoiding him, his girlfriend broke up with him, and there’s a magic-eating monster running around wearing Simon’s face. Baz would be having a field day with all this, if he were here—it’s their last year at the Watford School of Magicks, and Simon’s infuriating nemesis didn’t even bother to show up. Carry On is a ghost story, a love story, a mystery and a melodrama. It has just as much kissing and talking as you’d expect from a Rainbow Rowell story—but far, far more monsters. Opinion: I choose this book out of curiosity and I'm glad I did. I heard so many great things about this book. I recently starte...

The Crown's Game by Evelyn Skye My rating: 5 of 5 stars View all my reviews

On Wednesday last week, we went to our first fair here in Raleigh. First off, even though it was in the middle of the week, parking was a bit hectic. I drove my mother in law, Elizabeth and Charles to the fair. We knew the traffic was a bit bad, but also the parking was about $10, but it was expected anyway. Didn't take a lot of pictures, because we wanted to immerse ourselves in the experience. Oh yeah, I had to drive the MIL's car, because hubby was at work and would meet us there. It was funny that we left before the hubby did and he got to the fairgrounds before we did (it was my hesitant thinking of not going to the $10 parking area).  Any who, this was also Charles' first time riding any real rides. *FYI, we never really took Charles to the fair in Maui because he wouldn't have rode the rides at all because of fear*. But, we thought that this was the perfect time to take Charles to ride the rides, plus he was interested. There were some rides that Charles just ...

I can't believe how long it has been. It's been way too long. Trying one more time to get this blog going and praying it goes strong. As you have seen in the title. I recently moved to a new home and a new state. Umm.. Where to start... Well, the hubby and I had decided we wanted to buy a home and Maui was just too expensive and homes that were in our budget was like living in a shack. This was back in November 2016. We looked at states that would have great jobs for veterans and also of course great school for Charles. We had narrowed it down between either Texas and no not El Paso again and Raleigh, North Carolina. We decided that since we wanted to be closer to family, Raleigh was the better bet. So we finished school on Maui in May of this year. Oh and the hubby graduated with his ECET degree. Then Sean's mom, Charles and I flew up to Raleigh, while the hubby was handling last minute things in Maui. It was long flight, but we made it. We got picked up by Sean's...
