Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson

Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson My rating: 5 of 5 stars Reading this book was like stepping back into high school for me. The girl who was looked at as the freak, the girl who was told she was no fun and was told she was depressed, and depressing and that she needed help. I could have wrote this book, I lived so much of it, except I never took art class, I had creative writing, poetry was my drug of choice when it came to outlets. When you have been in abused/raped/hurt in anyway physical or mental, the hardest thing to do is speak up. Silence at first becomes your friend, your only friend but in the end that same silence can turn in to your enemy, because in the end you only get hurt more with the thoughts you have tormenting you. Wanting to scream but drowning in your words that won't come out. I think everyone should read this novel...no mater what stereotypical roll you fell into in high school. I think everyone should read this book...no mater what your experiences

Onyx (Lux, #2) by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Onyx by Jennifer L. Armentrout My rating: 4 of 5 stars Hello Daemon, I forgot how much I enjoyed you. XD To some this could be spoilerish? Ok so it had been a few years since I read the first book in this series, so I had to back track a little just to refresh my memory. But after a little Lux 101 I was on the path to enjoyment and mixture of other emotions. Swooning, and smiling. Rage and eye-rolling. I knew there was something fishy going on with certain characters, it was to obvious for them (Will and Blake). Not to go into to detail but they came across as too perfect if you know what I mean. I am sooo grateful I'm not reading this when the books were originally released as I'd be on edge waiting for the next book. But lucky for me book 3 is awaiting me. :) View all my reviews
