I am a reader, I feel like I always have been. I am constantly surrounded by books in both my personal and professional worlds.
I have read excessively since the second grade. I have attempted, again and again, to keep a list of the books I've read and how I felt about them but so far have been unsuccessful. This is an attempt to keep track of the books I'm reading, and my thoughts about them. My goal is to publish at least one review a week (no promises though). Wish me luck!
*Note, while I will try to avoid major spoilers, I sometimes won't be able to help it.

"Hooked" by Catherine Greenman
I wasanxiously awaiting the release of the novel Hooked
by Catherine Greenman. However, it left a lot to be desired.It is a book about a pregnant teens that doesn’t focus solely on the
focus.Many of the reviews I have read
complained about this, but I liked that aspect.I feel that while a pregnancy is a huge part of someone’s life, it doesn’t
define every aspect of their life.When
Thea gets pregnant of course her entire life changes, but she doesn’t let that
stop her life.She falls into motherhood
with a new passion: crocheting.With
that passion comes a goal to crochet her first bikini.
I wasn’t disappointed by this story, but more with the way it was told.The novel was longer than it needed to be and
felt a little unfocused.I wanted a
little bit more from the characters, who were interested, but still a little
one dimensional.I did enjoy the concept
and felt that it was told from the heart.I still recommend this book, realizing that I may not have been the
intended audience and that other readers may gain quite a bit from this read.
By the end of the novel, I had a soft spot for this new mother. Not only did she decide that she would do what was best for her baby, even if it was difficult for her or required a leap of faith, she truly grew into someone to be respected. great Site for Alaska Bear Viewing Tour Packages, click here
