Book Review: Forever

No comments :
Title: Forever...
Author: Judy Blume
Format: Paperback Reprint (2007)
Publisher: Simon Pulse
Publication Date: April 24, 2007 (first published 1975)
Source: Purchased

There's a first for everything.

When you build up something in your mind—really imagine it, wish for it—sometimes, when it actually happens, it doesn't live up to your expectations.

True love is nothing like that.

Especially not for Katherine and Michael, who can't get enough of each other. Their relationship is unique: sincere, intense, and fun all at the same time. Although they haven't been together all that long, they know it's serious. A whole world opens up as young passion and sexuality bloom.

But it's senior year of high school, and there are big changes ahead. Michael and Katherine are destined for another big "first": a decision. Is this the love of a lifetime, or the very beginning of a lifetime of love?

Title: Learning to Swear in America
Author: Katie Kennedy
Publisher: Bloomsbury USA Children's
Publication Date: July 5, 2016
Source: ARC from Bloomsbury

Brimming with humor and one-of-a-kind characters, this end-of-the world novel will grab hold of Andrew Smith and Rainbow Rowell fans.

An asteroid is hurtling toward Earth. A big, bad one. Yuri, a physicist prodigy from Russia, has been called to NASA as they calculate a plan to avoid disaster. He knows how to stop the asteroid: his research in antimatter will probably win him a Nobel prize--if there's ever another Nobel prize awarded. But Yuri's 17, and having a hard time making older, stodgy physicists listen to him. Then he meets Dovie, who lives like a normal teenager, oblivious to the impending doom. Being with her, on the adventures she plans when he's not at NASA, Yuri catches a glimpse of what it means to save the world and save a life worth living.

Prepare to laugh, cry, cringe, and have your mind burst open with questions of the universe.

Recap: The Half Price Books Clearance Sale

No comments :
Good morning, Little Hardcover Lovers! I hope you all had an amazing and relaxing weekend. And if you're in the middle of this crazy heat wave that we're having in the U.S., I hope you stayed cool.

I don't do recaps often on The Hardcover Lover, but sometimes, I just feel the urge to talk about the weird bookish events I attend. Because I went to a Half Price Books Clearance Sale yesterday, I thought it would be fun to share a little bit about my experience and just tell you all a little bit about it if you haven't been to one.

The Hardcover Lover Turns Two!

No comments :


If you're reading this, you're probably now aware of the fact that today, The Hardcover Lover is two years old! I can't even believe it! It feels like it was just yesterday when I came home from a day of babysitting and decided to start a book blog to talk about books and my binge read of The Lunar Chronicles.
