J.D.’s Comments (group member since Jan 13, 2014)

J.D.’s comments from the Read with Me group.

Did anyone else want to nominate a book for next week? It can be anything that you've been wanting to read, or one of your old favorites that you'd like to read with us!

I'll wait to post the poll until tomorrow night. If their are no other nominations, I'll just go ahead and pick three from my to-read list.

I'm going to nominate Death's Awakening for week 4.

Here's the blurb:
"For sixteen-year-old Parrish Sorrows, life is about to become a nightmare.

This is the night she'll wake up to her mother's convulsions. The night she'll lose contact with her father and sister in New York. The night 911 will stop answering the phone.

This is the night a mysterious supernatural virus begins its deadly rampage across the globe, killing billions in a matter of days. And just when things can't get worse, the dead begin to rise.

Parrish must embark on a perilous journey to find what's left of her family. Along the way, she'll team up with the gorgeous boy next door she's always been drawn to, the snobby ex-bff she's hated for years, a genius computer nerd, and a young boy who never says a word but is somehow a kindred spirit.

DEATH'S AWAKENING is the first book in Sarra Cannon's new Eternal Sorrows series. Told from alternating points of view, this story is packed with action, magic, and romance that will leave you begging to find out what happens as this group of teens struggles to survive the zombie apocalypse.

They are about to find out zombies are the least of their problems."

This week, Technomancer is up. I really like how intriguing the cover is!

Don't forget to nominate a book for us to read next week!

Here's what I thought of Twenty-Five: This sweet, indie published, diamond in the rough, romance captured my attention right from the start. I LOVED it.

I loved that I could relate to Abigail and her fears. It was almost as if I was looking back at a younger version of myself.

I loved that I got caught up in Abigail's emotions multiple times, finding myself sobbing when she opened Ben's very thought birthday gift, and then crying off and on throughout the last act of the book.

I loved that sometimes I got so frustrated with Ben, that I wanted to toss the book across the room. I loved that because that's what love is sometimes. It's frustration, heartache, pain, but also forgiveness, happiness, and hope all rolled up into one.

Rachel Hamm did an AMAZING job of getting down to the essence of the perfect love story. I feel very lucky to have an autographed copy of this work. It's earned its place next to my other all-time favorites on my bookshelf. It's a great pick me up to remind me that love can truly conquer all, even the darker parts of ourselves. I can't wait to read it again!

What about y'all?

Nominate a book by posting the book title and a link to the Goodreads Page in the right topic thread.

The poll goes up on Thursday night, closes on Saturday night, results will be posted on Sunday.

I was thinking either:
Technomancer (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...)
or
Ready Player One (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9...)
