***RELEASE DAY*** Levi By Lola White

Levi

The Garguiem—fighting evil and corruption through faith, duty and love.

He’s part of an ancient order that’s been fighting corruption within the Catholic Church since the Middle Ages. She’s two months away from taking permanent vows to become a nun.

When Levi is sent to Waterview to investigate the possibility of demonic influences among the diocesan clergy, he meets Marcella, and immediately recognizes her as his other half, his gift from God.

He just has to convince her that love is worth leaving the nunnery for.

But as Levi starts leading Marcella down the path of temptation, her faith is tested in ways she never expected, and the one responsible for bringing evil to Waterview sees his chance to exploit her weakness.

#WintersRespite #Readathon End of The Thon

It's Day 2!!! I'm already pleased with my progress. I've finished one book and have made a dent in another one! Gooo Me!

I finished one book, but I technically failed because I didn't read much after Weds. We had quite a rough week at work. A co-worker got fired. I am having to hurry up and finish my training so I can actually work the place by myself, etc. It's been very stressful, but I am happy I finished a book! Woo hoo, right? 

#WintersRespite Day 1 Read-a-thon!

I didn't finish Snow Like Ashes yesterday like I had hoped, soo it goes into this week's stack! I will keep updating this as the day and my reading progresses!

Day 1 Updates 

Book: Snow  Like Ashes 

Start Page: 206

End Page: 416

Notes As I Read:
So this book has the usual tropes in it. A girl that fights her destiny, she loves a boy she isn't supposed to love, she wants to prove who she really is, she gets a mission, she gets a shiny new dress, a NEW boy falls in love with her, and her first love gets all territorial. Fight ensues, drama drama and more drama. I should hate it. It's not all that original, but so far I like it. Is it spectacular? Nope, but I'm finding myself highly entertained, which is all I ask for in a book.

A Winter's Respite Read-a-thon Begins Tomorrow Morning!! #WintersRespite

So it's been a hot minute since I've done a read-a-thon, and well now I figured this was the best time to do it! I have Monday off and this is my "weekend" off from work! I have an early day on Friday and don't have to work at ALL during the weekend! WOOT!

I started off the year pretty strong and have read 2 books towards my year goal of 50! But then I've kind of slowed down...had a strong bout of book ADD, so hopefully this will help get my momentum up?! I hope so!

This list is subject to change, but for now I'm sticking with this.

let's party!

Station Eleven

What's it about?

Kirsten Raymonde will never forget the night Arthur Leander, the famous Hollywood actor, had a heart attack on stage during a production of King Lear. That was the night when a devastating flu pandemic arrived in the city, and within weeks, civilization as we know it came to an end.

Twenty years later, Kirsten moves between the settlements of the altered world with a small troupe of actors and musicians. They call themselves The Traveling Symphony, and they have dedicated themselves to keeping the remnants of art and humanity alive. But when they arrive in St. Deborah by the Water, they encounter a violent prophet who will threaten the tiny band’s existence. And as the story takes off, moving back and forth in time, and vividly depicting life before and after the pandemic, the strange twist of fate that connects them all will be revealed.

What I Thought? 

This book is a very unique take on the dystopian trend. I loved Kirsten and her journey through this world. She doesn't come across as a super bad-ass, but she's no wilting flower in the corner either! She reacts realistically to the world around her and wonders at times what the point of living in a world that's pretty much dead. The only thing keeping her going is The Symphony and her memories of a time lost forever.

I loved the intermingling of the past and the present. Every other chapter is a jump from the future to the past, explaining the way the present came to be and what humanity looked like then and now. I was fascinated by the parts that showed how some of the characters played out their last "normal" moments. What happened before and how it effects what happens now. That's a strong point in this book!

Kirsten carries a comic book with her that somehow (and wonderfully) connects her to a few characters that are beyond interesting and very well written. The way the plot flows in this book will definitely keep you reading at a feverish pace. I am very glad that this is my first finished book of 2016!

 Station Eleven is a solid, interesting, and engrossing book that I highly recommend!
