I've been REALLY busy since the last time I posted anything in my blog, and so I'm going to have to post in segments till I can get to the current news. Part I is dedicated to the two books I've recently finished reading.
Forever
This was the final book in the Shiver series by Maggie Stiefvater. Did I love the series? Not overly! Did I hate the series? Not exactly! It wasn't my favorite love story ever but I didn't think it was horrible. I wasn't exactly fond of how the story ended and I didn't feel a sense of closure with the story and the characters. For me, I felt the the story was left open and I'm not exactly sure if there will be another book to the series or not. If there is another book coming, great! If not....not the best ending for the series, I think. I still like how the author switches between each characters' point of view though. I think that there was a bit too much swearing in the book and the all the characters were severely dysfunctional. Did I feel the series was a waste of my time? No. It was still an enjoyable series but it didn't end the way I would have liked it to.
The Healer's Apprentice
One of my dearest friends, Kami, read this book earlier this year and did a review of it in her book blog. I enjoyed reading her review and it sounded like my kind of story!! Lucky for me I was able to find a free download of the book for my iBooks app!!
I LOVED THIS BOOK!!!
I never wanted to put it down because I loved the love story. I'm crazy for mushy love stories and so this was definitely my cup of tea. Was the story written a little juvenile? Maybe a little! Did I get a little annoyed with all the religious stuff? Yes...I think the author went a little overboard with all the religious prayers and stuff. After I read the book, I read a little about the author and discovered that she writes Christian stories. I'm a religious person but it was a little overkill. Did it stop me from enjoying the book? Not one single bit. To be honest, I kinda had the plot figured out early on in the story but it definitely had a happy ending. Would I recommend this book?
HECK YES!!!
I'm about half way through the next book I started reading but I won't reveal anything until I'm finished reading!

I'm glad you liked The Healer's Apprentice. The religious stuff was WAY overdone. I thought the love stuff was overdone too, but I'm glad you liked it.
