Guys I am looking for some recs,..... help a girl out please!

Guys, one of my favourite books is 'Can't Keep a Secret' by Sophie Kinsella. I want a romance novel that is lighthearted and funny to reignite my love of books in this area! Studying for university hasn't allowed me to read anything but study books pretty much for the last year! Please help and give me some recs!

Said it once and lost my nerve but now.. I'll say it again... Think it's about time I grew a pair of balls and start this. Can't put it off any longer. Oh gees, where's my box of tissues at?

I know everyone has different tastes and preferences and I know it shouldn't but….. It really, REALLY does bug the hell out of me when books I cant stand have an overall good/high rating.

Read a quote today by Roald Dahl "Those who don't believe in magic will never find it." I love it, it brought back all my childhood memories when I just read his work book after book. It spurred me to dig out all my old copies by him and I have spent the whole day re-reading every paperback I have from The Twits to The BFG to The Witches etc. and of course my all time favourite James and the Giant Peach.

Can't wait for the new year, this years been such a sad book year for me. Was so looking forward to reading last instalments but they've ruined some of my most loved series I.e. Bloodrose (Nightshade, Sentinel (Half-blood, Covenant) and Beautiful Nightmares (Insanity). Disappointed is an understatement. I can't deny though, there's also been really good endings such as Finale (Hush Hush) and Clockwork Princess (TID)

Didn't realise how much I missed Raffe! *feeling happy* ;D

So many books to read. Really want to read World After but I can't quite remember all of the details so a re-read is on the cards for Angelfall. JUST GOT TO MAKE TIME.

I'm a fan of Jennifer Lawrence obv I mean THG movie was awesome and she has made a great Katniss. Buf after seeing her read Harry Potter on set of CF haha, my opinion of her just shot up! Great choice of book Jen, can't get much better than J. K. Rowling. Potter fans for life :D

I was Jennifer Lawrence fan anyway after THG movie but my opinion of her just went way up. Reading Harry Potter on set of THG CF! Yay good choice in book, can't get better than J. K. Rowling! [image error]

My favourite series of all time Has to be The Power of Five series by the amazingly talented Anthony Horrowitz. He was the man that inspired me to read and whom gave me my first experience of escaping reality and entering another world. Without him I wouldn't have found my love of reading and I can't imagine my life without books.

Please Seth fans. Don't tell me your happy with the way Sentinel ended? Review to come... But I don't think I can even rate this. 1. As I'm biased because I can't get past Seth. 2. Because even though it was written great I just can't be content with the ending. Did Seth even have an ending? I mean he gets to live before being hades pet. What a life!

WOHOO FINALLY PASSED MY DRIVING TEST AND GOT MY FULL LICENSE. CAN DRIVE MYSELF DOWN TO THE LAKE TO READ EVERY DAY NOW :P

Me after staying up extra late to finish reading Endure! Merrick why do you have to make your books so damn goooood, even though this last one hurt nearly as much as when Chase's mom died in the Exiled.

Or a character..

Basically

Ahhhhhhhhhh my copy from Amazon finally came! Cant wait to read this......

Merrick... you have destroyed me with this last book, so much pain, sadness and loss... speechless absolutely speechless

WOW, was SO not expecting this debut novel to be so FRICKIN GOOD. Someone should warn readers to be prepared for this, completely dumbfounded and amazed by the story that lies in between these precious pages. Please let there be a HEA, so much heartbreak in such a short time..

Oh my-- !! I think I'm beginning to really like Jackal, yes that's right Jackal! The same one who tried to kill Allison, who killed Jem. What the f*ck!

So many books, so little time!

Why are my not finding any book endings fully satisfying lately? Are my expectations raised to high or are the endings truly that dreadful that I don't feel like picking one more book up only to be let down in the last few pages..

Why do I always love the bad boys in books and in real life, am I such a pathetic excuse of a woman that I have no power to resist. I wish I could fall for a nice good boy who will give me a good life.. Oh who am I kidding I love the thrill and excitement I get from living life on the edge. You only live once right?

There comes a time when you have to choose between turning the page and closing the book.

Why am I so obsessed with Vampires? Seriously I will read any vampire book, something about them pulls me in and I either love or hate it but it doesn't matter because as soon as I'm done I go looking for another one and put all the other masses of books I have to read on hold. *sigh*

Due to the high number of friend requests I have been receiving lately related to my reviews I have now made my profile public and my reviews available to follow.If you want to be my friend on here ADD me please, theres no point inboxing me or commenting on my reviews saying why you want to be my friend. Just add me, if we have stuff in common I WILL accept. Thanks y'all.

Ok wow. I have 2 problems so far. 1. Isaiah is hardly in it, sorry to disappoint. And 2. Isaiah is hardly in it!

What the hell! I thought Beth's book was going to be all about Isaiah. They were all about each other in PTL. And I'm sorry but how come in PTL Noah was always saying they love each other they just won't admit it, and now Beth's blowing him off. There's so much I want to say but I'm not allowed to!

I'm in tears, I've got a lump in my throat and I can't swallow properly, I've had to take about 17 breaks because I can't see past my tears and I'm now laughing while my eyes are overflowing with salty water reading Isaac's eulogy for Gus. This book is so heartbreaking, I can honestly say that I have never cried so much for an hour straight, I can't even controls my emotions and calm myself down.

“If I could just stay alive for a week, I’d know the unwritten secrets of Anna’s mom and the Dutch Tulip Guy. I looked down my blouse at my chest.

“Keep your shit together,” I whispered to my lungs.”

The amount of respect I have for this girl! Surreal, she can make jokes about her illness and try and spare others pain when she's got so much on her plate. She's selfless, I admire her so much.
