Yep, Its true.

After years of thinking, plotting, and being persuaded (you know who you are), I've decided to write a book. I don't know what this will mean or where this will take me, but I'm just going to go with it.

What I do know is that my book will be the story two teens named Thatcher and Abby and it will LOOSELY be based on my own love story. Because I believe that true stories are always the best and true love will always win.

To follow my progress (which is none at the moment) and to follow the blog, you can check out the NEW author fb page. The name of it was Author Tiffany Ball, but I felt stupid and silly for naming it that, so I changed it.

There she is. Send me a friend request.

I will continue to write blogs because we all know that even if I'm writing, I'm still a reader at heart. Thanks for the thoughts and encouragement. I'll take anything I can get.

In the meantime, Keep Reading!

Ceaseless

When I started this blog, I had this book in mind. I loved the series and was counting down for this book to come out. So, here is my much anticipated (even if I am the only on anticipating it) review of Ceaseless.

I'm not going to back track very much because I want everyone to read this book, so I'm going to just give you a brief recap.

Because of a curse put on her when she was a young child, Pagan Moore can see souls. They never talk to her and they don't know that she can see them. When she meets Dank, she is immediately drawn to him. He is Death and is there to claim her soul, but their attraction goes to deep for him to ignore it, so he saves her, instead.

Now Heaven and Hell are against them for changing fate.

In Ceaseless, the Deity steps in and erases all of Pagan's memories of Dank. He must give her true soulmate a chance at her, if she still chooses Dank, they can be together. So, Dank must woo her and make her fall in love with him all over again, while competing with her true soulmate.

My thoughts on this book.

I'd like to go back and reread the series as a whole. Its hard to read series in bits and pieces, but this was a great ending to a great series. This is the series that turned me onto Abbi Glines and I've loved everything she's written.

I'd like her to do side stories of other characters in the books, but not Leif. He annoys me and wouldn't you know his story is the one she's writing next.

Here's the link for this book. I hope you choose to read this. I know its hard to get into the paranormal books, but this is a good one!

Clash

Oh Jude.

Nicole Williams in all her goodness listened to my tweets and posts (cough cough) and wrote another Jude book...oh yeah, and whoever that girl is in the book too.

I kid.
Kind of.

Now in college, Lucy and Jude are working hard to keep their relationship strong. Its hard being 5 hrs away from each other, but they're doing their best to make it work. He supports her dance, she cheers him on from her reserved seat in the football stadium. Their trust is tested, temptation is everywhere, the past comes up, and a decision is made.

Nicole Williams brings another great book with Clash. I love these characters. I was a little let down that this is the last book. It didn't seem final and I still feel like she could keep it going and yes, I've already let the author know. I found some of the parts a little far fetched and unbelievable. I watch football ALOT. I know for a fact that a freshman quarterback couldn't get away with the things Jude does, so that was kind of corny to me, but I still thought it was a great book. I'd love to hear what everyone else thought of it.

Here's the amazon link.

Screaming in the Silence

Recently, I swapped reading lists with my friend, Ashley. Not surprising, but I had rest most of the books on her list. However, I was able to snag a couple of books that I hadn't heard of . The Breathing Series was one of them and this was another.

Clearly, I read alot. Very rarely do I find books that I don't like, but there are times when the books I read run together and nothing really stands out. This book stands out. Its different and I found myself appalled that I was pulling for the bad guy that had kidnapped and (kind of) raped her. I say 'kind of' loosely because it was (kind of) consensual too...read the book...you'll get it.

I have to say though, I was really turned off by the author at the end. The book ends good, but I feel like as authors, they have a responsibility to their readers to give them good endings and not leave them wanting more (unless its a series). This book had to be re-written because the author cut off the book as such a bad place, her publishing company made her go back and write an epilogue.

If you are out of books to read, I would recommend this one. Its good and definitely worth the read, but there are better ones out there. Just the truth.

Love Unrehearsed

I went out of town this weekend to visit family, but I was bound and determined to read this book while I was away. I couldn't wait to read more of Ryan and Taryn's story. It didn't disappoint. Not even a little bit.

 

Love Unrehearsed is a continuation of Love Unscripted (my previous post). This books starts right where the other stopped..given a day or two. It follows Ryan and Taryn through all of their trials and tribulations as they try and find a way to make their relationship work throughout all the craziness.

 

I'm not going to say much of the story because I don't want to give any spoilers away.

 

So there.

 

What I will say is that it is very rare that I walk away from a series feeling complete. I did with this. I felt like Tina Reber did her characters justice and left nothing to be expected. There is drama, love, sadness, and hope. The story ends exactly as it should.

 

Good for you, Tina Reber. Thank you so much for these wonderful books. I look forward to reading everything else you write.

Love Unscripted

This is a two book series. The sequel to this book comes out tomorrow and I am counting down the minutes. True Story.

This is another book that kept popping up in my amazon recommendations. I finally finished everything I was reading and borrowed it from my friend, Dawn. I am still thanking her for letting me borrow these books because she's awesome and because this book is really good.

 

The funny thing about this book is that when I tell you what its about its nothing new or fresh, but yet, it is.

Ryan Christensen is a super popular, up and coming, a-list actor. He's in a coastal Rhode Island town to film the latest installment of the Seaside Trilogy. This small town is in a frenzy with him in tow. There are fans and paparazzi camping out at his hotel and at the movie set. Think Robert Pattinson/Twilight. Thats what these fans/paparazzi reminded me of the entire time I was reading this.

One day, when running away from the chaos, Ryan seeks shelter in a closed pub. The pub is owned by Taryn Mitchell and its there that their story begins.

Taryn is a motivated, driven businesswoman. She owns her family's pub, is a silent owner in her friend's catering company, has money in stocks. You name it, she does it. She thinks the frenzy in her town is ridiculous, but when she welcomes Ryan into her pub one afternoon, he crushes all of her preconceived notions.

I know what you're thinking. Lame story. Famous actor, small town girl. They fall in love...blah blah blah. And to that I would say, you're wrong.

I saw this book in 2 parts. The first part is really good because they're falling for each other. The second part is really intense. I could not put it down. I was so mixed up in it. I had to go back and reread parts of it because I was skimming through trying to figure out what would happen at the end.

I finished yesterday and cannot stop thinking about it. There is a book, in a completely different series, that I've been waiting to be released. It came out yesterday and I could be reading right now, but the sequel to Life Unscripted comes out tomorrow and I would rather wait on it, then start anything else.

That has never happened before.

So, take my advice. Read this book. Its in my top 5 now. I loved it!

Take this Regret

I've got to tell you, I'm loving A.L. Jackson. She writes some tough books, with great conflict, but gosh, does this book make you pull for the underdog.

 

Motivated law students, Christian and Elizabeth, have been dating for a few years. With only a year left in college, they are motivated to finish and go about their schooling and careers. Christian is driven by his rich father, Elizabeth is a do-gooder, who just wants to make the world a better place.

 

But their plans are changed when Elizabeth discovers she's pregnant. When Christian gives her an ultimatum, she walks away from him and her dreams.

 

Six years later, Christian still lives with the guilt of that ultimatum. A chance meeting, fate steps in. Can he fix whats broken or is it too late?

 

I hope I haven't made this sound lame because its not. Its so good. So real. My heart broke for Christian because of the decision he made and the raw regret he has. At the same time, I put myself in Elizabeth's shoes. Could you really forgive someone that walked away from you in the time of your greatest need?

 

When people ask me now what books they should read, Pulled and Take this Regret are my top recommendations now. The writing is so different and real. I absolutely loved it.
