Enne Salta was raised as a proper young lady, and no lady would willingly visit New Reynes, the so-called City of Sin.

The Secret

80's Teen Thursday


 Title: Plainsong for Caitlin
Author: Elizabeth M Rees
Publisher:  Avon Flare 
Published: April 1, 1996 
Source: Library 
Dates Read: January 12th 2012- January 12th, 2012


It was Rebecca's decision to go west, yet it is Caitlin who blossoms with the beauty and strength of the prairie itself. Challenged by the relentless hard work and life-threatening struggles that overwhelm timid Rebecca, Caitlin is enchanted by the rugged American West. And it is here that Caitlan discovers a love as compelling and dangerous as the land itself.


Borrowed from a school library, I throughly enjoyed this quick read while i was "listening" to my teacher teach. The characters were all well developed but I wished it to be a bit longer. 
  The author does a well job on the dialet of the speakers in the time, and I loved the setting with the thatch roof. 
  Caitlin reminds me alot of myself. She is so stubborn and thinks that if the boys can do it then so can I. She was the one who took care of herself and Rebecca, though Rebecca was the one who answered an add requesting a wife for marriage.  
  Rebecca was an interesting character but she was a tad too bit- bratish. I thought that Nate- the main hot guy in the book-( my second Dimitri and Patch ;) ) would have broken up with Rebecca but in the end it all turns well... 
  I loved the very end of the book when someone comes back but I wont leave a spoiler to who. :)

Review: The Love That Split the World by Emily Henry

Release date: January 26, 2016 Author info: Twitter | Facebook Publisher: Razorbill Pages: 400 Format: ARC Source: Gifted Buy the book: Barnes & Noble | Amazon | The Book Depository Natalie Cleary must risk her future and leap blindly into a vast unknown for the chance to build a new world with the boy she loves.  Natalie’s last summer in her small Kentucky hometown is off to a magical start…until she starts seeing the “wrong things.” They’re just momentary glimpses at first—her front door is red instead of its usual green, there’s a pre-school where the garden store should be. But then her whole town disappears for hours, fading away into rolling hills and grazing buffalo, and Nat knows something isn’t right. That’s when she gets a visit from the kind but mysterious apparition she calls “Grandmother,” who tells her: “You have three months to save him.” The next night, under the stadium lights of the high school football field, she meets a beautiful boy named Beau, and it’s ...

Stacking the Shelves {160}

Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews where we get to share the books we've bought, been gifted, or received for review! Hii! Nothing much exciting going on for me this week, just the holiday meeting at work this morning. I used my last bit of vacation and visited my best friend this week, and we spent too much money. Oops. :) ANYWAY, on to the books! Purchased: Like a River Glorious by Rae Carson (signed! YAY!) Scandalous Desires by Elizabeth Hoyt Notorious Pleasures by Elizabeth Hoyt Traded: The Dark Days Pact by Alison Goodman I am more than a little bit excited to have this in my hands, y'all.

I did a happy dance when I saw what it was. I love that tote! Books I read this week: The Sun Is Also a Star   by Nicola Yoon I'm currently reading: Notorious Pleasures b...
