Cruisin’ through books cause books make life worth living with Aly 4/2/2016 part 3
This was just ok for me. I didn’t like as much as I thought I would. The switched POV very often and this threw me off. I got lost until I figured out where we were again in the book and who was telling the story again this time. I was lost in the book and I wanted to like this book and I was hoping for a great series I could keep reading. I would not read the rest of this series. It is a shame for me. 3/5

Clearer in the Night by Rebecca Croteau
I was a little disappointed in this book. This book had a boring beginning for me and I was a little lost in this book. I did not relate to the characters and overall was just sad I didn’t get more out of it. * I received this book from LibraryThing giveaway in exchange for an honest review* 3/5

The Lie Spinners by Rita Stradling
This book caught my eye because I think we all know some Lie spinners in our life. lol I enjoyed this book but I did not read the first book in the series so I had to caught up. I think the character of Raven is great and I this book was fun to read. Not what I thought it would be about some times I like to surprise myself by just diving into a book with out much back knowledge. * I received this book from LibraryThing giveaway in exchange for an honest review* 4/5

Day 54 of 90: Dealing with jerks
I don’t understand why some people are negative, all of the time. I can’t fathom being the kind of person that gives backhanded compliments, or speaks from two faces.
For some reason you will run into these types of people in your life. They can’t be bothered to give you positive feedback, only attempting to drag you down to their level. They get pleasure from watching you wither under their hate.
How do you deal with these people? How do you deal with someone that just wants to be an asshole/bitch/cunt/jerkwad?
I’m a firm believer of the”brush them off” method. This is typically easier if the person is a stranger.
It’s two steps, very simple. Step one, give them a bored look, filled with your utter contempt for their nonsense. Step two, realize the only way to get somewhere is to walk the journey. Realize that this asshole/cunt/bitch/twatwaffle will soon journey their out of your merry little life.
If you are in a relationship with a person acting like that, it’s a little more difficult. Talking to the other person is always a great place to start. However, sometimes even your loved ones want to make an ass of themselves. When this is the case, it is far better to move away from the abuse, than it is to suffer through it.
Admittedly, I write a lot of dark works. I focus on the negative to write a story, but that negativity only affects my characters. In my own thoughts, I’m smiling and happy, knowing I’m conquering my demons. Turning negatives to positives, another great skill you should try to master.

Love this book! I love this series very much. I can’t wait for more books with Cassie Palmer. This is the best series and I will keep waiting for more books. I think Cassie being Pythia is very interesting. I love all the characters! This book was a lot about Pritkin and saving him. Will she get to him in time? You will have to read and see! 5/5
