Is anyone reading this thing??????

Okay so I have been pretty busy and have like 6 books to blog about but before I even do that, I was just wondering if anyone is even reading this blog besides my friend Aaron.... I have put the link up all over the place, practically every page I visit in Facebook and figure people could be reading it without actually following me. So if this is the case, could you please comment below, I would love to continue writing this blog but won't if I have no one reading it. Thanks for reading my blog if you are, I really enjoy writing it....

Dark Tower series by Stephen King

If you haven't read this series and you love Stephen King then you are missing out on one hell of a story. King always seems to amaze me with his writing but this series takes the cake. He has somehow managed to tie all these amazing stories together like From a Buick 8, Salems lot, and even himself into this series (and thats just a few). It is so amazing to me!!! Not to mention that the characters in these books become a part of you in a way that is unexplainable. You literally find yourself thinking like Roland and at times even speaking like some of the characters. My world, my literal one, became a part of this story. I would look at things differently seeing Roland's worlds in my own. This was the most amazing reading journey I have EVER been on. No other writer has taken me on a more realistic journey and I crave more. Even if you don't like King because of his "scary" and sometimes gross stories, you HAVE to read this series, it is NOTHING like that. I just can't rave enough about these books and if you have read them, feel free to add your own thoughts on the series in the comments, I would love to hear what you thought of these books. And if any family is reading this, I want the series in full so I can read them again for like the 10th time, I am that hooked and will NEVER get tired of reading it. If you are interested the books are, in this order.... #1 The Gunslinger,#2 The Drawing of Three,#3 The Waste Lands,#4 Wizard and Glass,#5 Wolves of the Calla,#6 Songs of Susannah, and #7 The Dark Tower. Thanks for reading!!! And as of right now I am reading Aaron Pattersons Sweeet Dreams and it is so good, so keep your eyes peeled for my blog about that one, or grab your own copy and be ready to share your thoughts with me. Plus Aaron follows this blog and I know he would like to know what you think as well. Have a great day and put your nose in a book......

Airel by Aaron Patterson

Okay so I recently got an opprutunity to read this book before it is published, which NEVER happens for me, so I was so excited. Aaron wanted some input and advice on how to make it better. Well, I read the book and it was great!!! Here is description from Amazon : They fell from grace for love... they married women and their children had ability's. The Son's of God became legend and myth and over time gods like Thor, Zeus, and others carried the story over time. Superheros emerged and real or not, this is the beginning... ***Airel just wanted to go through High School as a normal teenager. She wanted to fly under the radar, but that was all about to change. Something was happening to her, changes and now this man stalking her... a killer and he wanted her! ***Based on a true story*** This book is nothing like I normally read, but it was so good I couldn't put it down! And after I was finished, it left me craving more. Aaron is a very talented writer who is just getting started, he isn't well known YET... I really loved this book!! I will read it again and again. I'd like to thank Aaron for giving me the chance to read Airel. Airel is available for pre order on Amazon.com, not sure when it will be released yet but as soon as I know I will let you know..... Aaron has also written 2 other books,Dream on ( Rise of the Red Dog) and Sweet Dreams (The Justice of Revenge) which I have not read yet but have them on order. They are available on amazon.com as well. If you get a chance grab them!!!

About My Blog

So I have decided to write a blog about books I have read. I know there are a lot of readers out there and I just want to share my love of books with others. I am curious to see if anyone will even read it, I guess I will find out. Anyway, I have always loved to read, pictures of me are usually taken with a book in one hand, under my arm, or you won't see my face at all. I try to read a variety but I once I find an author I love, I am pretty much hooked.I want to read a book that takes me somewhere, a book that changes me in some way because I read it. I want to be moved and I want to feel like the characters in the book are people I know, if that makes much sense... I will warn you, I am not much of a writer, but I am looking forward to sharing with whoever wants to read!! I hope that you enjoy my blog and I hope that I may influence you to pick up one that I have suggested. If by chance you do, I would love to hear what you thought of it.And if you have a suggestion for me, please do so. So there you go. That's my blog. Here's to finding amazing books.
