Books Read this Week:
Far From the Tree by Robin Benway: Finally read this! I thought it was very good. I appreciated how Robin presented three different types of adoption/foster care situations, and I liked the siblings and the bond that formed between them. However, there was something missing, in my opinion. Yes, I liked it, and yes, it was a 4-star read, but there was something holding be back from loving it as much as everyone else.
I Stop Somewhere by T.E. Carter: I was so not emotionally prepared for this book! I knew it was going to be sad from the synopsis, but I never imagined it would be as heartbreaking as it was. I don't think I've ever cried as much during a book as with this one; however, even with the tears, this is such an important read! Seriously, add it to your TBRs, especially if you love gritty, emotional, Courtney Summers-like contemporary!
The Dating Debate (Dating Dilemmas, #1) by Chris Cannon: Very cute and quirky! I don't think this will be for everyone, as it's very dialogue/character based; however, I enjoyed it a lot. The banter between the two MCs was adorable AND they were both super bookish!
You Will Be Mine by Natasha Preston: This is a Valentine's murder mystery, so truly I couldn't have read this at a better time. It was interesting as well as suspenseful; however, the writing and character development left something to be desired.

New in my Reading/Blogging/Personal Life:
It was a busy week, but it went by quickly at least. The majority of the week was spent on getting acclimated to my new classes/TA assignment, which left little time for reading :( However, I did sneak in some good ones. (Seriously, add I Stop Somewhere to your TBR!!) I also continued my Monk binge-watching. I seriously can't get enough of this show. I wish it was still on :(
Have a great week!
Have a great week!
