The Half Life of Molly Pierce by Katrina Leno
pg.  231
At first I totally thought that this was going to be a story about a radiation. True story.
I was WAY off! This girl gets depressed/sad for who knows why, the author doesn't really let you know other than she had a bad day.   So the girl creates this alter ego that comes out and takes over her life right when she's about to kill herself.
Super depressing. Reminded me a lot of 13 Reasons Why.

The Alchemyst (The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Famel) by Michael Scott
pgs. 400
Second time I've read this book, the first time being a few years back with the students for English.  I remembered enjoying the book and meaning to read the rest of the series.  So now I am! Just hoping the rest of the series doesn't get all teenagery on me.

Dead Man's Deal (The Asylum Tales) by Jocelynn Drake
Pgs. 371
For most of the book I was like "geeze Gage, keep it in your pants!" There was so much going on it seemed a little scattered brained. It wasn't the sequel I was wanting, and it didn't get really interesting until the end.  The next book holds promise but since they're published in e-book format only, I'm waiting until it goes on sale or free like the first two books. This series isn't worth paying full price, esp if the author writes the next book like this one.

Demon's Fury (Asylum Tales 3.1) by Jocelynn Drake
pg. 100
So the story actually gets interesting and the author ends it.  
What a marketing suck trap! 
Well, parts 2 & 3 are just going to have to wait until the prices comes down.

Ruin and Rising (The Grisha #3) by Leigh Bardugo
Pgs. 471
Waited a year for this book to come out.
Was not disappointed.
****

The Revenge of Seven (Lorien Legacies #5) by Pittacus Lore
Pgs. 371
I was anxiously waiting for this book to come out, and when it finally did I had several books waiting in line ahead of it. FINALLY got around to it and I was kinda disappointed. I wasn't at the edge of my seat like the others before it. In fact it didn't get interesting until the end of the book! What I was hoping to get exciting turned out to be a dud, then the very end the author threw in a twist and now I can't wait for #6 to be published!

 It's February-Holy Cow! Here is January summed up:

Personal Concert by Sonja & Bryn

An out of this World date!

 It's close enough to astronaut food...
 Gross. Don't fall for it. Get the real deal!

Supported one of my hurdle girls who is also a cheerleader.
Brought these two with me.
Any team with purple on their uniforms were their "favorite".
 My first & ONLY cheer comp I'll ever go to.

Demetri Martin.
Jokes with guitar.
It's a big deal.

Took my Dad and the Clegg kids to their first Utah Grizzlies Game.
Trust me, as soon as the game started and they saw how aggressive hockey is...
They were on the edge of their seats!
They couldn't believe the ref didn't stop the fight!

Fire & Ice date night.
Holy Smokes & Ice Skating

Video gaming.
Ragnar was not pleased to have to share her seat with Derek.
She slowly pushed him off. It was pretty funny.

My mom has possession of this.
Tyler is jealous.
I am pleased.
