Review: Immersed by Jenetta Penner (ARC)
Last month I had the chance to read and review Immersed, book two for the Configured trilogy. However, with everything that has been going on, I hadn't had a chance to post the review.

Review: After You by JoJo Moyes
Star Review: 5/5 stars
Recommend: Highly!
This was such a great way to continue Lou's story.
It is a sequel not like any other. With twists and turns you wouldn't expect.
I loved reading as Lou learned to trust herself again. Learned to move on from the past. As well as learning to tell the past to a stranger she notices looks a lot like Will Traynor.
I was heartbroken with the way it was portrayed of Lou's way of coping with loss. But if you really looked at it, everyone has their own way of coping and finding a way to move on.
While reading After You, I had the distinct feeling that Lou was never going to live again. (As Will had told her many times.) however, the more I read, the more I saw her discovering herself, except the past and welcome the future.
JoJo Moyes as a talent of showing you a real life scenario and makes you learn from it. That was what I got from Me Before You and what I got from After You.

You know what my favorite part of Lou's story? In Spring of 2018, we will be able to get book 3!
That's right, Book 3 of Lou's story! JoJo Moyes announced it last month on Facebook! EEECK! I m so excited!

Most Anticipated Books of 2017
It is 2017, which means we'll be getting a slew of new books to read. But I am more interested in specific books. In today's post, I will share what books I am most excited for!
The Bear and the Nightingale
The Bear and the Nightingale
The Bear and the Nightingale is apparently a twist on a Russian Folklore.
This book was JUST released on January 10th of 2017. But it looks and sounds good!
"At the edge of the Russian wilderness, winter lasts most of the year and the snowdrifts grow taller than houses. But Vasilisa doesn’t mind—she spends the winter nights huddled around the embers of a fire with her beloved siblings, listening to her nurse’s fairy tales. Above all, she loves the chilling story of Frost, the blue-eyed winter demon, who appears in the frigid night to claim unwary souls. Wise Russians fear him, her nurse says, and honor the spirits of house and yard and forest that protect their homes from evil.
After Vasilisa’s mother dies, her father goes to Moscow and brings home a new wife. Fiercely devout, city-bred, Vasilisa’s new stepmother forbids her family from honoring the household spirits. The family acquiesces, but Vasilisa is frightened, sensing that more hinges upon their rituals than anyone knows.
And indeed, crops begin to fail, evil creatures of the forest creep nearer, and misfortune stalks the village. All the while, Vasilisa’s stepmother grows ever harsher in her determination to groom her rebellious stepdaughter for either marriage or confinement in a convent.
As danger circles, Vasilisa must defy even the people she loves and call on dangerous gifts she has long concealed—this, in order to protect her family from a threat that seems to have stepped from her nurse’s most frightening tales"

The Hunger Games Withdrawl
So if you are like me, you find a series or trilogy that is your absolute favorite.
One that is always your go-to read.You can rely on to captivate you again and again.
For me, that is The Hunger Games.
At first I was like everyone else. Thought it as a creepy book about kids killing kids. Until I saw the trailer. I fell in love with the trailer. So I read all three books, back to back. It ended up being a lot better than I thought. When the movie came out, I lived in Alaska. It was the dead of winter, I went to the store my mom worked at and bought the movie on it's release date.
when my mom came home, we all watched The Hunger Games. I was hooked again. But like every book dragon who reads the books before the movies, I saw a LOT of changes and missing scenes.
But one thing that I still loved, was the Team Peeta fangirl moments. I thought that Josh Hutcherson did an awesome job portraying Peeta Melark.
Once the series was over, with it's ending being Mockingjay Part 2. I was hit with a thought I was hit with when the books were over.
What about Petta's side of the story?
We all know about Katniss and her history. We of course know the story about Gale, his family and everything that happened with him while Katniss was in the Arena. But what I wanted to know was Peeta's story. Why did he cry when Katniss volunteered as tribute? What is his story on his family? Why is he so in love with Katniss? Why would he risk his life for a girl like fire?
These questions plague me all the time.
Everyone on Wattpad and FanFiction.net write what they believe would be Peeta's POV. But I think that like all these women got Christian Grey's POV for Fifty Shades of Grey, we should get Peeta Melark's POV from Suzanne Collins.
Hopefully one day Ms Collins will see how desperate her readers are for Peeta's story. Maybe she'll write it as a trilogy too.
Hopefully before these rumors are coming true about The Hunger Games Prequels.......
So read on, my fellow Tributes. Tell me in the comments what you think about Peeta's POV.
Would you want to read it? If you read the fanfictions, which one did you like best? Let me know in comments below.
