It's been two years
since Conrad told Belly to go with Jeremiah. She and Jeremiah have been
inseparable ever since, even attending the same college-- only, their
relationship hasn't exactly been the happily ever after Belly had hoped
it would be. And when Jeremiah makes the worst mistake a boy can make,
Belly is forced to question what she thought was true love. Does she
really have a future with Jeremiah? Has she ever gotten over Conrad?
It's time for Belly to decide, once and for all, who has her heart
forever.
Summary taken from Goodreads
Unfortunately, this was my least favorite book in the series. But that doesn't mean I didn't like it. It just wasn't what I wanted or what I expected. I felt like everyone kept doing things that were out of character.
I spent almost the entire book being so furious with Jeremiah. Which definitely had never happened before. I really liked Jeremiah and Belly together, but they just kept making terrible mistakes that didn't make any sense to me.
Honestly, Conrad was all that kept me reading. He is just... so broken and messed up and I just want to fix him!
All in all, I was happy with the ending, but the rest of the book was lacking.
And now for something new here! I'm going to try to start writing down certain quotes I liked from books. These might be a little spoilerish so read at your own risk!
"It's not all the sudden," he said, his eyes locked on mine. "It's always."
"When did you know you were in love?"
I didn't have an answer to that question. There hadn't been one specific moment. It was like gradually waking up. You go from being asleep to the space between dreaming and awake then into consciousness. It's a slow process, but when you're awake, there's no mistaking it.
There was no mistaking it was love.
So, for those of you who've read it, who did you want Belly to end up with?

Waiting on Wednesday (13)
| Hosted by Breaking the Spine |
Gail Carriger
Release date: February 5th, 2013
It's one thing to learn to curtsy properly. It's quite another to learn to curtsy and throw a knife at the same time. Welcome to finishing school.
Fourteen-year-old Sophronia is the bane of her mother's existence. Sophronia is more interested in dismantling clocks and climbing trees than proper etiquette at tea--and god forbid anyone see her atrocious curtsy. Mrs. Temminnick is desperate for her daughter to become a proper lady. She enrolls Sophronia in Mademoiselle Geraldine's Finishing Academy for Young Ladies of Quality.
But little do Sophronia or her mother know that this is a school where ingenious young girls learn to finish, all right--but it's a different kind of finishing. Mademoiselle Geraldine's certainly trains young ladies in the finer arts of dance, dress, and etiquette, but also in the other kinds of finishing: the fine arts of death, diversion, deceit, espionage, and the modern weaponries. Sophronia and her friends are going to have a rousing first year at school.
First in a four book YA series set 25 years before the Parasol Protectorate but in the same universe.
Ahhhh! Parasol Protectorate but for young adults! I want this more than most things! I cannot wait for this book!
What are you waiting on this weeK

Top Ten Tuesday: Books I'd Want On A Deserted Island
![]() |
| Hosted by The Broke and the Bookish |
1. Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins
I am so in love with this book. And if I was stuck on a deserted island all by myself, I would definitely need this book to keep me in good spirits.
2. City of Glass by Cassandra Clare
I would have to bring at least one book by Clare, and I chose the one where everyone gets at least a semi happy ending. Before she decided to keep writing more books and continuing to break my heart all the damn time.
3. Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman
This is my favorite Neil Gaiman book so far. I feel like I could read it a thousand times and never get bored. That's just the sort of books he writes. Love em.
4. The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkins
Another book where I wouldn't get bored. I could read about the amazing Noah Shaw for the rest of my life. Oh am I on a deserted island? I didn't notice because NOAH SHAW.
5. Imaginary Girls by Nova Rev Suma
Imaginary Girls drew me in so completely that I forgot where I was every time I opened it. I am positive that it would do the same again. This book is a whole new world that dazzle me completely. It would be the perfect escape on an island.
6. Atonement by Ian McEwan
Every time I read this book, the world fades away. And then I want to die. This book would be a book to read when I'm sad and have lost hope to remind me, Hey. It could be worse.
7. Looking For Alaska by John Green
John Green is just amazing. I can't imagine never being able to read one of his books again. Having it there would be a must.
8. Amy and Roger's Epic Detour by Morgan Matson
This would be such a cute distraction to have. Amy and Roger's is just the cutest book and I could read it again and again.
9. Guilty Pleasures by Laurell K. Hamilton
This will always be my favorite series. Anita Blake has a permanent place in my heart. If I was stuck on an island, I would need her. I could read the beginning of her story every day for the rest of ever. It's a must have.
10. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
For when I'm in more of a serious mood. It's my favorite classic novels and I've never had time to reread it. There are just so many books! But I would be able to give it the time it deserved if I only had ten books to read for the rest of time!
I am excited to see what everyone else chose! Do we have any books in common? Make sure to leave me a link to your Top Ten!

Top Ten Tuesdays: Freebie!
![]() |
| Hosted by The Broke and the Bookish |
I really enjoyed the first one, but I've stalled on The Dead Tossed Waves a couple different times. I think I just need to get past the first couple chapters and I'll love it. Need to get on that!
2. House Of Night by P.C. Cast and Kristen Cast
I was listening to all of these on audiobook and made it to number five. But now that I've moved back to Duluth my library doesn't carry them that way. Darn it anyways!
3. The Caster Chronicles by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl
I am only two books behind since the new one just came out so I really need to get on that! I love this series so much and cannot wait for the movie! Gah!!!
4. The Iron Fey series by Julie Kagawa
I've only read the first two books so I am super behind. I loved this series! I have no idea why I keep pushing it back. Seriously, people. Stop coming out with new books so I can catch up, please.
5. Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr
Another series that I have no idea why I stopped on it. Maybe because I ran out of money and I need to own them all! They're so good!
6. The Immortals by Alyson Noel
I've only read the first two of these. It's not my favorite series ever but I think it's really interesting and has a lot of potential. But I brought the first two and, since I'm a crazy person, I have to buy all the them. So they are on the to-buy list, just not that high.
7. Divergent series by Veronica Roth
I AM BUYING INSURGENT TODAY! I wanted to read it the moment I finished Divergent. And I have a Barnes and Noble coupon and it is payday today. It will be mine!
8. Touch series by Laurie Faria Stolarz
I love Stolarz so much. I fell in love with her back in 2003 with her Blue is for Nightmares series. I have every one of the books she written (besides the rest of this series) and I cannot wait to finish this series.
9. Wicca series by Cate Tiernan
Dude I started this series back in middle school. I am 22 now. What the hell! I need to get back on these.
10. Soul Screamers by Rachel Vincent
I love this series. But I think I am afraid to keep reading. What if bad things happen?! I can't. I just can't.
I actually have a whole shelf on Goodreads that are just series I need to finish. Seriously. But that's definitely the ones I need to get on right away!
What did you pick as your freebie?
Daily Dose (10)
Hello, one and all! Guess what?! I have the internets again! That means we are back to our regular schedule blogging! Woohooo! So excited! Let's get this going!
