I'll Be The First To Admit it.

Hey guys,
What am i the first to admit? That i'm a slacker, i sign up to do somthing then i just forget about it, truth us, i didnt forget about The Book Bundle, I am just a very slow read with alot on my mind.
But behold, I have a few books to review on my night stand, including, but not limited too:
Speak: Laurie Halse Anderson (old book admited but i think its worth a mention,)
The rest of the Evermore Series By Alyson Noel.
The first Vampire Academy book,
The Carrie Diaries,
Evernight,
and a few others,
Thanks for being so patient,

Monique, xx

Evermore - Alyson Noel.


My cat and i decided we should review the series we have been enjoying lately (When i say cat i mean, i read he sits on my knee and gets cuddles.)
With out giving to much away i would like to give a brief overview of the story.
Ever Bloom's life was torn apart one tragic night when her mother, father, little sister and dog were killed in a tragic road accident. To make matters worse Ever had to be uprooted and moved from her home in Oregan to Laguna beach with her only living realative, her aunt. Not long after a boy came to town that would not only change her lift but had done so already, while she was dealing with the death of her loved ones she would have to deal with things no one ever would Ever realize.
At first i found this book quite slow, the plot dragged on and on until there where only 'about' 50 pages left then WHAM, i was shocked when the pin dropped, as soon as the pin dropped i was totally addicted.
The story was well writen and flowed nicely.
There are a couple of annoying consistancies (I am up to book three). While i like Alyson Noel's work her over use of "i pressed my lips together" is getting kind of annoying, and Ever's on going fued with school bullie does not seam to have a point, ok i guess every story needs its villan but i just dont get the point of theirs.
Having said that these annoyances are my personal ones and are extremely easy to look past.
It has a romance story similar to Edward and Bella's from Twilight but is so much more modern and realistic and Damen does not treat Ever like his little puppet.
If you liked twilight you will love this.
if you hated twilight you will still love it.
It's different and Alyson Noel is such a better writer then Stephanie Meyer.
all in all i completely love this series.
8/10 stars

New and ready to review!


Ok so!
I'm the newest reviewer here at The Book Bundle, My name is Monique i am 22 and i live in Australia. I love to write, read and listen to music.
I only recently began to enjoy reading, not only does it help me relax but it enhances my writing skills. Seeing has i want to be an Auther, thats important to me.
I'm very honest and opinionated so if i think a book really sucks i will say so, and wont be shy about doing it.
i will read anything once but my prefereances are Tough luck type stories, paranormal, young adult, i like things that are different, that go against the norm, but as i said i will read anything once, oh i really like reading series', you know things that go on and on, lol i hate things ending, if that makes sense.
obviously, i like to talk can go on and on. wops.
