Book just added to my TBR

In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be "positive" all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people. For decades, we’ve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F**k positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let’s be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Mason doesn’t sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is—a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let’s-all-feel-good mindset that has infected American society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up. Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited—"not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault." Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek. There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.

Are You Happy with your Life? My review of Dark Matter by Blake Crouch

“Are you happy with your life?” What a sinister question that can be…depending on whose asking. But what if you are asking yourself this question. But what If that you is not really you as you know yourself but a person from an alternative universe. This is what happens to Jason. In his normal life he is a community college Physics professor. He is married to the woman of his dreams, has a beautiful son. And a easy going, beautiful life. He is happy. He believes his wife is happy. But as his alternative self asks: Is he really happy with this life? Well his alternative self gives him a chance to find out when he decides that he wants to swap lives. In the alternatives life, Jason is a well known, well accomplished scientist. He never married, never had children and he is cold to everyone in his life. What happens is a wild ride through alternative lives in order to get back to his family. Jason must see his wife, and son again and most of all he needs to find a way to get his alternative self out of their lives.
Dark Matter by Blake Crouch was one hell of a read and it was a very thought provoking book. As I read it I begin to think what would like to be in Jason’s shoes? Could I be happy in that life? What would that life be like? Do I really want to know? Well, let me tell you this….If I had to deal with he same obstacles Jason did in his book then let’s just say I am better off not knowing.
What I loved about this book was that it was believable; what if science was advanced enough to allow us to see alternate universes. And what If when we stepped into those universes they were tailored directly to who we are as a person? The prospect is down right frightening; especially when you find out in the book that Jason can change each universe he enters simply by thought. If he thought he was going to witness his worse nightmare when he opened a door into the next universe than he did. Another thing that I loved about this book was the prose. It was easy and free and flowed quickly. Crouch did not bog you down with to much scientific jargon- which could have been easy to do. Dark Matter is a book that I would definitely recommend to those in love of sci fi that is in need of something different. And a book that will keep them guessing. I have Dark Matter 4/5 stars on Goodreads.

In this thrilling third book in the #1 New York Times bestselling series from Sarah J. Maas, the earth will be painted red as mighty armies grapple for power over the one thing that could destroy them all.

Jane Austen, Mysterious men and Bookselling: The Bookbabe Reviews First Impressions by Charlie Lovett

                                         
       


Howdy Bookies, I am back with yet another review of something Jane Austen related. A few weeks ago I read First Impressions by Charlie Lovett; a book that questions the true authorship of Pride and Prejudice. What bought me to this book was the fact that I had read and  LOVED Lovett's The Bookmans Tale last year. This book was definitely not a disappointment.  Basically the books main character Sophie Collingswood is an Austen fan, and general book lover. She gets caught up in the mystery of the murder of her beloved uncle and a mystery involving her beloved Austen; with a bit of romance and danger added in. What I really loved about this book, like Lovett's other novel, is that the characters are 100% relatable. Sophie is everything you love in a  bibliophile; she is intelligent, well read, overly protective of  books, and quick on her feet. Sophie comes from a seemingly well to do family that had a long history of publishing in its blood. However, her father is not a fan of books, or even reading. He finds the family library to be unnecessary, basically it is a waste of space and since most of the books are first editions of collectables they can be sold off to the highest bidder. The only person standing is his way is Sophie's beloved Uncle. Who won't allow his brother to sell even one book in the family library. Sophie's uncle is the reason she loved books; he is the reason she is found of old books and behind her as she studies Library sciences at Oxford. So when he suddenly is found dead in his flat Sophie just can not seem to accept the cause of this demise. She is determined to prove that someone murdered him; in fact, the quest almost costs her her life. 
What I really loved about the book was that it bounced back from Sophie's time period to the regency period, in which, Austen lived. Lovett writes in Austen's voice so beautifully that it made me feel like I was re-reading one of my favorite novels. He made Austen come alive in a way that I have never seen other authors do. Another thing that was extremely impressive was the balance of innocent romance and suspense. There was just enough romance to make you swoon and enough suspense to keep you up at night wanting to finish the book in one sitting. I am happy to say that I took my time reading this book so that I could throughly enjoy it. It was the well developed characters and the artful balance of romance and suspense that lead me to give First Impressions 5/5 stars on Goodreads. 
I definitely see this book becoming one I give away to fellow Austen fans.

Favorite Quotes:
"A bibliophile raised in a family that does not know the word...that's me"
(it was this moment that let me know Sophie was set to be my literary BFF of the moment)

"A good book is like a good friend. It will stay with you for the rest of your life. When you first get to know it, it will give you excitement and adventure and years later it will provide you with comfort and familiarity. And best of all, you can share it with your children or your grandchildren or anyone you love enough to let into its secrets"

"Let me ask you this, Miss Austen. Are you able to prevent yourself from writing?"
"Indeed not. I find that my stories will not cease to crowd all other thoughts from my mind until I have committed them to paper"
"...Then, Miss Austen, let there be no doubt about it - you are a novelist"

"It is only when we attach happiness to those things which are worldly and unimportant that our lives become corrupted"

First Impressions ..... A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas




So as promised I am posting my first impressions of Sarah J. Maas' latest release; A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas. Which is a new take on Beauty and the Beast. I am really excited to read it because Maas is one of my favorite Young Adult authors. So far we meet Feyre, the youngest of three sisters; that is managing to keep her family afloat after her family lost not only their fortune but, also their mother. The book opens up with Feyre internalizing the lifestyle in which she lives while she is out of the hunt. While hunting she kills what she hopes is a huge wolf that is stalking the deer she hopes to bring home to her family. Feyre later is taken from her home by another wolf, that is actually a member of the High Fae. She is taken because she violated a treaty when she killed the wolf. She is given the choice of death or to live out her life in the realm of the Fae. At her fathers insistence she goes along with the Fae. Knowing that this may be the best way to insure that her family remains safe. 

What I love so far: I love that the Fae is back in this book and that they are extremely different in this book. I can not wait to see whats up with the masks that they wear. Also I love our main characters courage, she is very different from Celaena (from Throne of Glass).

What I expect: I definitely expect to have a wonderful and fun time reading this book. I know Sarah J. Maas is going to have me yearning for more. 

For more first impressions come back when I read The Queen of the Tearling by Erika Johansen in July. As always, Happy Reading!

Witches, Vampires, Shadows and a bit of Elizabeth the first.....




The Bookbabe Reviews: Shadow of Night by Deborah Harkness

Well It took me much less time to read this book, then the almost two weeks it took me with book one. I was not at all bored with this book. This is mainly due to Harkness ability to pace the action and plot well. This book is littered with the familiar names and places from not only the first book but from history as well. From monarchs like Elizabeth 1 and Rudolf III to Walter Raleigh and the Lord of Northumberland. The most remarkable meeting of all (for me anyway) is Philippe; Matthews father. When Diana and Matthew travel to Sept Tours at his fathers request Philippee comes off as a brut. Mean and impassive and is the master of all those around him including his children. I expected this throughout the entire time they interacted with him however (as Harkness does so well) the character reveals himself. He slowly shows his care for Matthew and then for Diana. Slowly I begin to see why Ysabeau remains so in love with him, even after his death. What I loved about this book is we slowly see Diana and Matthew get to know one another better. We get to see more of Matthew's defenses shatter as Diana attempts to get closer to him. We see their relationship deepen and they arrive at a kind of understanding that only people truly in love can. Harkness really has a way of writing flawed, real and beautiful relationships. Another thing I loved about this book is the final coming together of the "family" behind Matthew and Diana. I can not wait to see them "fight" as a family unit. Of course, we find out that we have lost one of the members of the family and I can not wait to see how this plays out in the next book. I am also eager to see how Matthew's and Diana's new arrival will affect things as well. I give this book a four star rating; if you like this spoiler-less remove you can read many more at 

Favorite Quotes:
"You are not just my heart but it's beating" - Matthew to Diana

“Gallowglass returned to Sporrengasse with two vampires and a pretzel"

“We don’t lock up books in this house,” Philippe said, “only food, ale, and wine. Reading Herodotus or Aquinas seldom leads to bad behavior"

The Bookbabe Reviews: The Bane Chronicles by Cassandra Clare, Sarah Rees Brennan, and Maureen Johnson



 What can I say about this collection of stories? Well since it was a
work of one of my favorite authors I can say that I really am not
disappointed expect; that I missed some of my favorite characters that
made minimal appearances in this volume. I really would have loved to
see more Jace. I know that this is selfish but really….I wanted my
Jace to come back. Now that that is out of the way lets get down to my
favorite stories in the volume.
I loved “The Runaway Queen” because its Magnus in French at the
beginning of the French revolution. Not to mention Magnus in knickers
and a powered wig is a very interesting and comically image that I
want to keep locked in my memory forever.  I also loved “The Fall of
the Hotel Dumort“; this one was very interesting. Mainly because we
got to see the ugly side of Camille Belcourt (before the mortal
instruments series); we get to see her being less than careful about
her business; she is allowing her vampires to run wild and call
attention to themselves. We also get to see a picture of New York
during the “drug era” of the 70’s; something that is most likely not
written about in the young adult genre. The story also let us know
that vampires are not immune to addiction. Now on to the two stories
exclusively about Malec (Magnus and Alec); I loved these and I see why
my friends where in love with them too. “
What to buy the Shadowhunter Who has everything (And who you’re not
officially dating anyway)”;  what I loved the most about this one was
Elyaas. Who knew that a slimy, octopus like demon could be comical.
Also, the fact that Catarina and Ragnor want nothing to do with Magnus
love life is hilarious. I mean honestly, if Magnus was my friend I
would want no parts of it either.
Last but not least “The Course of True Love (and First Dates)” is also
wonderful and most likely my favorite of the entire book. What I loved
about this story was that Magnus is really afraid to get close to Alec
but also that Alec is afraid to get close to Magnus. My favorite scene
from this story takes place in the restaurant they go to. The fact
that the werewolf waiter just wants nothing to do with Alec is so
incredibly funny. The werewolf goes out of his way to make sure their
food is spicier than usual and makes sure that Alec and Magnus
understand that Alec makes him uncomfortable. In fact he even goes so
far as to say that he gets stress ulcers; and will most likely get one
because Alec stresses him out. I literally laughed out loud because 1)
a werewolf for an ulcer is to funny and 2) because Magnus makes it his
business to point out that stress does not cause ulcers.
Honestly, I think Cassandra Clare and her co-writers did an awesome
job on the Magnus book. I can not wait to read the Shadowhunter
academy series that she has been releasing these past few weeks. I
feel like this book gave me enough of a Mortal Instruments fix that I
am kind of okay with waiting for Lady Midnight; which is not due out
until spring of 2016. If you are as big a fan of Cassandra Clare as I
am please pick this volume up; its worth the read.

Quotes I Loved:

"I'm a demon" he said. "I'll curse a mermaid. I'll curse a cocker
spaniel. I don't care about anything" (Elyaas)

" If Jane Austen could see this," Magnus said, "I assume she would be
screaming, "There are tiny demons in this little box! Fetch a
clergyman!' and hitting the television with her parasol"

“Go to faeries for gossip about vampires, to werewolves for gossip
about faeries, and do not gossip about werewolves, because they try to
bite your face off: that was Magnus's Motto"

The Bookbabe Reviews: Heir of Fire by Sarah J. Maas


Okay, this books finally chapters had me on twitter asking Sarah J. Maas to consider moving up the publication date of the next book (which is slated to come out in September). So much happened in this book that kept me up nights trying to get to the next chapter. So in this book we find Celanea in Wendlyn trying to gain intel in the royal family so that she can warn them about the King of Adarlan. She doesn't get to accomplish this mission because she ends up running into Rowan; a Fae male warrior and Prince that comes looking for her. He takes her to Mistward a fortess full on Demi Fae where she comes to meet her Aunt Maeve, Queen of the Fae. Celaena only agrees to come because she needs information about the Wyrdkeys and how she can find and destory them. Along the way we see Celaena fight her way through her grief as she deals with the lost of Nehemia. We  also get to know Rowan a little better; at first he is very aloof and keeps Celaena at arms length. But, by the end of the book things has changed. He has sworned to protect her and I think there may be something else growing there too. (Though they are distant cousins and that would be rather strange if anything does happen). There are a few things that I loved about this installment into the series. First, we get to meet some new and very interesting characters such as Manon Blackbeak and her 13. These witches are badass. These women live to be ruthless and cunning and are raised to believe that they where born without a heart of soul. We also meet Aedion Ashryver, who is a relative of Celaena's and is as loyal to the King as he would like some in the court to believe. Second, we also get to see Dorian come into his own and that comes in part with him actually accepting who he is and with his new found love Sorscha. I was really rooting for this couple but, wow oh wow how the King set them up. The last few chapters of the book really had me wanting to cry and scream and oh the feels. Last but not least; we get some deeper insights into the deaths of Celaen's parents. We also get a glimpse at King of Adarlan before the end of magic in their lands. We find out that he may have some power of his own and not power that was bought on from the ring that he wears. I am hoping that my theory about him is correct and that there is more to him than meets the eye. All I can say is that the next installment of this series can not come soon enough. My over all rating for this book is 5 stars; it more than exceeds my expectations for the third book in a series. It is one of the best sequels I have read in some time.

Quotes I loved: 

Quote:
"There were cells in the bowels of the mines that they  used to punish slaves. Cells so dark you would wake up in them and think you'd been blinded. They locked me in there sometimes - once for three weeks straight. And the only thing that got me through it was reminding myself of my name, over and over and over again - I am Celaena Sardothien......Celaena Who did not fear or despair, Celaena who was a weapon honed by death"

Quote: "It would not take a monster to destroy a monster - but light, light to drive out darkness.

Quote:
"All I want is for my people to be free and my queen restored to her throne" (Aedion)
"They Burned the antler throne, Aedion. There is no throne for her"
"Then I will build one myself from the bones of our enemies"

The Bookbabe Reviews: The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion




So finally, I have finished The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion and can I just say that I fell madly in love with the main character Professor Don Tillman right from the start. There were so many reaons why I feel like I was fated to love this book; chief among them is the main characters geek status. Don is what you would stereotypcially expect a genetics professor to be. He is clinical, a bit cold and odd. Don is also tired of being alone and enlisted his close friends in the "Wife Project". The project is doomed from the start and we get to follow Don a few dating adventures that leave him mortified and leaves us in tears laughing at their absurdity. As a means to shake things up Don's bestfriend Gene sets him up with Rosie; a smoker, that works in a gay bar and dressed "weird". Don sees her as unsuitable and is determined not to even consider her as wife material. Their first "date" starts off hilariously when Don gets in a fight with security and the maitre d' of the resturant over his lack of a proper dinner jacket. After this the relationship with Rosie just happens. Don enlists himself to help her find her biological father; this goes against his better judgement and he is also breaking a few universtity rules to help her out. The "Father Project" could end up causing Don a lot in the end but the rewards could also be so much greater.  One of my favorite moments of the book happens close to the end; Don after a conversation with Gene and After returning home from New York comes to the conclusion that he is in love with Rosie. The revelation allows him to see that change and maybe letting go of some of his rigid ways might be the only way to really win the heart of the one he loves. I  honestly enjoyed the book and can not wait to see what happens in Book 2: The Rosie Effect.

Rate: 4 Stars

Favorite Quotes:
"Time has been redefined. Previous time zones no longer apply. Alcohol is hearby declared mandatory in the Rosie Time Zone"

"Sixteen," I told him. "Second - highest score ever." 
Gene looked at it. "Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale. Do I have to point out that you haven't had a baby recently?"

The Bookbabe Reviews....Angelfall by Susan Ee



What is not to like about this book? Susan Ee gives us all the things that we love about current YA (young adult fiction). It has fallen angels, a post apocalyptic world, a kick ass main character and a hot forbidden love interest. What I really loved about this book is that it was so different from all the others that I have read over the years. Some could say that it is like Hunger games. We have our main character Penryn trying to protect her family after Angels have descended on the world and ripped it apart. She has to deal with a Schizophrenic mother that is off her meds. She also has to support her
handicapped sister. They have little food and have made a decision to make a run for it and so that they can be in a safer environment.
Along the way the stumble across a fight between a few Angels and here is where we meet our hot, sarcastic angel named Raffe. Raffe becomes a very likeable character right off the start. He is not very much unlike many of the other male characters we find in this kind of YA
novel.  In fact when he is first introduced he reminds me so much of Jace Wayland from The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare.
   Raffe seems distant and unwilling to help Penryn after her sister is kidnapped by Angels. However, he seems drawn to her and duty bound to help. So they make and alliance that seems fragile at first but later as the book progresses we see that it so something all together deeper that will keep them together a bit longer. Another thing that I really
enjoyed about this book is that Susan Ee is not afraid to be gory and to create creatures that will scare the living mess out of you. The monsters at the end of this book will make you cringe. I can’t wait to see what she does in the next two installments of the series. I will
definitely say that this book is really worth your time and will be a great and very fast read that will keep you turning the pages.

Quote I loved:
“When I was little, I always thought I’d be Cinderella, but I guess
this makes me the wicked witch. But then again, Cinderella didn’t live
in a post-apocalyptic world invaded by avenging angels”.

What James Patterson and my Gran have in common..

I credit my grandmother for my steadfast love of reading. She was the woman that gave me my first copy of Charlotte's Web; she purchased my first copy of Anne Frank: Diary of A Young Girl. She never told me I could not read any book I choose. My grandmother has even been quoted as saying "I could eat away that child's television, phone, internet , and stereo but those books I could never take away. It would be to cruel", my gran recognized early on that my relationship with the written word was important. She herself only read the bible, and on one occassion a Terry McMillian book. My fondest memories are our monthly trips to the book store. I was allowed two books. She never read the synopsis and I was never told "not that one". For that I am eternally grateful; God blessed me with a very awesome Gran.

New Book Alert....Stealing Marilyn Monroe by Sophie Warren

I recently downloaded this book from Net Galley! Here is the synopsis:

Juliet Chadwick has it all—a job at a New York art gallery, a great boyfriend, and a long-term career in the family business: theft. But unlike her father, Juliet plays it safe, sticking to small-time art heists and always covering her tracks. Until one day when her father’s creditors show up, demanding that she pay off his debts—or else. 

And so Juliet comes up with a desperate plan, the greatest con she’s ever attempted: She’s going to steal Andy Warhol’s famous portrait of Marilyn Monroe from bachelor billionaire Edward Aster. All she’ll have to do is pose as the Aster family’s new nanny until she can get her hands on the painting. How hard can it be?

But all too quickly, Juliet finds herself falling in love with Edward’s children, and maybe even with Edward himself. Can she bring herself to pull off the ultimate theft—if it means stealing from a man who’s stolen her heart?

The Bookbabe 2014 Wrap - Up!

As this year comes to a close a it dawns on me that a lot happened.  Personally I was thrown a few things that could have been considered heart breaking and that made me question my faith and my trust in people; but, I came out all the better for it. As far as the Bookbabe of Delaware is concerned so many things happened. I reached 1349 followers on Tumblr, had some shout outs of authors on twitter and started receiving books from some amazing publishing houses. Among them Kensington, Random House and Thomas Nelson; and independent publisher Poison Press. Only thing that I regret is that I did not read a many books as I really wanted to and my blogger account suffered because of it. In 2015, I will be ramping up my reading so that I can review as many books as possible. In 2014, I read several books that I really loved and started a few series that I can not wait to finish. Here is a list of my five favorite books that I read/reviewed this year and all of these reviews can be found on my goodreads profile (which will be linked below).

1) The Night Eternal by Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan; the conclusion to one of the best series I have ever read. I will say that I did find this book very predictable but  the ending was indeed very unexpected and very sad.

2) Throne of Glass (Throne of Glass #1) by Sarah J. Maas; oh my gosh, Celaena is one of the best female characters that I have read in sometime. She has her vulnerable side but she is one kick butt chic. Sarah J. Maas also is an amazing world builder. This book was all you could ask for in a fantasy adventure. It has it all from a tyrannical ruler, assassins, princes and princesses from far way lands etc. I would definitely read these in 2015 if I were you; if you don't you will really be missing out.

3) The Demonologist by Andew Pyper; one of the best thrillers/mysteries that I have ever read. Pyper's books are always surprising, fun and quick reads. This book also set my on an obsession with books about books. This is definitely a book I will be recommending to friends and family during the next year.

4) Edenbrooke by Julianne Donaldson; I found this beautiful gem in Barnes and Noble over the summer and since I wanted an Austen like read I decided to try it and I was not disappointed. It was a beautifully written "proper" romance that did not contain any sex. (Yes in romances that can be done.) I really hope that Ms. Donaldson writes another proper romance of this kind; I am definitely a fan of her work. 

5) Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare; this is the final book to the Infernal Devices series. It was so beautifully written and so wonderful. I was really happy with how everything was wrapped up for all of the characters. I also loved that we see to of the characters in this series cross over to the last book of the City of Heavenly Fire.
