Reverence by: Raena Rood

Synopsis:

Reverence takes place in a dystopian society where a deadly virus has devastated the world. The survivors live within the walls of Vita Nova, a city that has created strict rules and programs to control its population. Kira Liebert works as a volunteer advocate, helping people who choose to sacrifice themselves for the good of the city. When she becomes involved with a man named Will Foster, she begins to question what she has been taught about the world outside the walls and the society she lives in.

Review:

This book was unfortunately another one that wasn’t a favorite for me. I love dystopian books, so I had high hopes for this one, but that’s on me for not looking up more about the book beforehand. My dislike for this one was mostly due to it becoming overly religious. While that usually never bothers me, this felt heavily pushed throughout the story. I went in expecting a dystopian book and was met with Christianity being a major component of the plot.

The Testing - Joelle Charbonneau

  The Testing - Joelle Charbonneau The front of the book has a review claiming that all fans of The Hunger Game will simply devour.  That review was pretty spot on, at least in my case.  I ate every word written until I found myself at the end.  I even bounced between the book and audio because I could not get enough.  Maybe because it was so much like The Hunger Games.  The transportation method  was very similar.  The testing students seeing the different cities and classes as they traveled.  Being sent to an unknown location to fight it out to the end.  They may have had more people coming out alive, versus The Hunger Games but it was pretty similar.   And don't even get me started on how badly I wanted Cia to react during the officials watching her be tested like Katniss did.  With all that I still loved it.  I rooted for Cia to cross that finish line.  I swooned when Michael was proud of her for finding the ...

  Sunday Supper by K. Sinko Pages : 321 It is December so I can officially call it, this was my favorite book I have read this year.  So much that I initially read this on Kindle, and then had to buy a physical copy because I needed it in my own library. For starters this book felt like I was reading a hallmark movie. It is also based in NY and I have a romanticized version of NY in my mind, which this book captured perfectly.

A girl who just lost everything, and learns that her family has a little secret of there own. A Uncle who owns a lot of restaurant's, she has not known about till now. In the hunt for a connection with her long lost Uncle, she meets a chef. That starts a flirtatious relationship over his deconstructed meatballs and her Nona's recipe.  This book is perfect for a cozy rainy day read. You will end up happy for the c...
