A Walk in the sun by Michelle Zink

A Walk in the Sun

Rating: 3/5

Summary:
Rose Darrow does not want to spend her whole life working on the family farm. But when there is an unexpected family tragedy her plans are put on hold. Bohdi Lowell left home as a kid and never went back. He gets a job on Rose's family farm and cannot wait to leave. Neither of them can deny the attraction between them. But with summer ending they must decide what to do about their relationship. (x)
My thoughts:
This book was just not for me. It was well written and engaging but I could not get into it. It is a good summer read and I would recommend it to people who like contemporary and summer novels. I could not connect to Rose or any other of the characters.
Plot:
The plot is pretty straight forward no twists or turns. It was an easy book to get through with some wonderful writing. This plot was simple but fun.
Characters:
Rose was a well written character and she was not flat. I really did not like Bohdi I thought he could have been better. There romance was not well written and it felt rushed,

The Martian by Andy Weir

The Martian

Rating: 5/5

He has no way of communicating with the Earth to tell them he is alive. But mark is not going to give up and does everything he can to survive.

My thoughts:
I really like this book. It is a breath of fresh air in to the sci fi genre and it was wonderful. It was a page turner and I kept coming back for more. The plot did not seem to outlandish and I liked the science that was included in the book. The humor was great and this book mad me laugh a lot.

Plot:
This was a page turner. The world building was great and I could see the world as Mark saw it. The plot was fast paced

First off let me apologize for my 18 day hiatus I was taking a college class. Now lets get to my thoughts. This series is one of my all time favorites and I did not want it to end at. This book was a worthy end to the series. I could not put this down but at the same time I did. It was just a wonderful book to read, Also that cover is soooo gorgeous. Y'all just need to read this series and this book.
Plot:
It was fast paced since it had to wrap up all the loose ends in the series. I felt the plot was really good and well written, As usual the world building was really good and well thought out,
Characters:
As usual they were all well written. I just love every single one of them so much. There is not enough words to describe my love for these  characters.

Most Anticipated books of July


Here are the five book I am looking forward to in the month of July. There are a lot of good books coming out next month but I narrowed it down to these books.



1. The Shadow Hour by Melissa Grey.
I really loved the first book of this series, The Girl at midnight. I am hoping it is not one of those sequels that turn out horrible. I have read a lot series where the second book is the worst. Let's hope this book does not go this way. (x)

2. Defending Taylor by Miranda Kenneally
I have not read the series this book is in but I plan to, This is book seven of the series. I hope to start this series soon. (x)
