Until July lands with a Boom!

I love Aurora Rose Reynolds writing style.  Her stories are relevant and powerful, they are all about love, loyalty, family and friends with a lot of hotness that speeds up your pulse and causes you to fan yourself to escape the heat. if your looking for a dark gritty ugly cry your not going to find it here, this is a story about a daughters love for her father and her yearning to have a love to last a lifetime just like her parents, which she finds in Wes. The central story is backed up by lots of sisters, cousins, uncles, and new friends that Wes brings as his brothers in the MC come to life under her skillful pen. I already know I want to know more about the boys from the MC as well as what's happening with her sisters and her cousins, those ladies got it going on! This is book one of the Until Her series and I'm already stalking the Roses to find out when Jax has his turn to find his Boom! In the Until Him series.

These are going to be fun to broadcast this spring. Really looking forward to winter being behind us this year! We've had a whopper of a winter. Flowers are going to be so welcome!

Loved it to full term! Would recommend. I didn't see it was from the UK. So shipping takes a while. But I ordered it early because I knew I would be pregnant in the hot Texas summer with 3 kids already. Loved it. Love the color. Still in great shape after full season use.

In August of 1999, a wonderful thing happened in the world of music.  A young former mouseketeer named Christina Aguilera releases her debut, which is wholesome entertainment for the entire family.  Perky pop hits like "Genie in a Bottle" and "What a Girl Wants" set the charts on fire!  The ways this CD is great are too many for me to mention.  Just do yourself a favor: get it!

Its taken me a good long while (two days after I finished reading, to be exact) to focus my thoughts about this book. I guess I wanted to make sure what I was feeling was honest and not just a bunch of unrelated feelings that are common after reading a book by one of your favorite authors. So, after those days of thought and reflection I feel confident of my response to Until July.

I was so excited to read about Asher and Novembers baby girl, July, that I wanted to know how she grew up, what she loved to do, and her interactions with the other family members. I already knew they were all close, Aurora Rose Reynolds already laid that foundation in her Until Series, but I wanted to know more about what happened since Until Nico. My curiosity knew no limits when it came to all that Until July could contain.

The opening scene had me so giddy in my seat that I was anxious to know what was going to happen next, and then, BOOM, now enters the infamous Wes.

When July and Wes first met, I truly believe that their meeting should go down in history, because it was EPIC, hands down the best boy-meets-girl moment Ive ever witnessed. But, it was after their first date and all the craziness that came with it that my excitement started to wain. Maybe my expectations of Until July following in the footsteps of the other books in the Until series were unjust.

The romance/love story between July and Wes was hard to believe. It felt as if their romance was too rushed, there wasn't enough character knowledge on both July and Wes, and lastly, but I think the most important, July was portrayed as the independent woman (which I loved) but would cave to Wes when (I felt) he hadnt shown himself worthy of her time or attention. Wes actually reminded me of a Kristen Ashley (KA) alpha male, but July wasn't the type of woman comparable, or complementary, to that type of male. Sadly, I was more interested in Z and Kayan and their roller-coaster relationship.

Until July was a very interesting read, I loved the glimpses we got of Asher, November, and Nico throughout the story.

At last, the summer's at an end and the fall term is at hand. It's been a nasty time for Harry Potter, who finds summer vacation anything but!  His foster parents, the Dursleys, have maintained their reputation as being a.  awful, b. dreadful, c. intolerable, d. spiteful, e. all of the above!  And  Book 2 of J.K. Rowling's incredibly successful Harry Potter series is off  and running!  It's now time for the fall term of year two at  Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.  Harry can hardly wait to get  back.  Of course, just as he is set to depart, problems arise--but arrive  at school he does--this time by a magical flying car!  And the suspense is  off and running!
 Once there, Harry begins to hear voices from the  walls--which only he can hear!  And these voices sound ominous!  Mysterious--and fearful--things begin to happen!  Naturally, the trilogy of  Harry, Hermione, and Ron are fully involved. Yes, Draco Malfoy is back and  the threat of evil Lord Voldemort (responsible for the deaths of Harry's  parents) continues to plague young Potter.  He finds that fulfilling this  year's "destiny" is to deal with the Chamber of Secrets!
 Rowling  employs her art well--exciting, fantastical, humorous, gripping--the  positive descriptives roll on, and Book 2 continues in every way from the  first installment.  Readers who found the first book spelling-binding will  find that this book is at least equal to it (but probably is greater, as  the author certainly seems to have found her own "chamber of secrets to  writing absolute best-sellers!").  In "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets," Rowling has clearly  established herself in 21st century literature!  With immense success  showing weekly on the best-sellers' lists, the sales are almost  unbelievable.  The "New York Times" list at one time showed all three of  the Potter books in the top ten!  But don't be impressed by the sales--read  the book for yourself and you will see why it is the literary rage these  days!

I discovered Friendly Fires when iTunes showcased the video for Skeleton Boy for free.  I figured it's free, I'll try it.  Sure enough, four months later, I am loving this CD.  So much that before I purchased it, I did some research and found out that a CD/DVD version was coming out complete a full length concert and music videos.

Besides the great songs and great melodies and awesome lyrics, I love this CD because EVERY SONG is a good song, and how often does that happen.

It took only a few listens before I had to deem this my CD of the summer.  I am soooo happy that I discovered them, even though it was through iTunes.

The fact that they were partially inspired by Prince shows in some of the songs, but you can tell that they definitely have a style all of their own.

I highly recommend this to pop music fans and I just pray that they appeal to everyone across the USA!!

I received an early ARC of this book and let me tell you, I am so glad that I was one of the lucky readers to get my hands on Beyond The Break early! This book is the perfect summer read with plenty of hot-hot-hot scenes but more importantly (ok maybe just as importantly) I loved the characters and the author did an amazing job of developing Hazel, Claire, and Oren. The plot wasn't flat and predictable like so many books in this genre and it left me wanting more. Lots more! For real, get this book. You'll love it!

Such a great summer read! Equal parts joy, sadness, shock and awe! Really enjoyed both the Practice Room and Sneaker Wave! Hoping there's another one soon?????

The new single by local Portland band Sophe Lux and the Mystic is definitely a summer jam gem! Sophe has a way of catching the current trends in pop music and stylizing them in a really unique way. This track, Your Wonderland, has a super cool 80's synth vibe that's still got enough punch to make you move! It sounds like summer! I could hear myself playing this at a friends' pool party or something. Be sure to check out the youtube video they uploaded. The trippy visuals compliment the music well. I added to my "things to play at a party" playlist. :)

Burgundy Records & Pure Tone Music have released this track as a club teaser from Donna's upcoming cd Crayons, due May 20th.  Wow, the Donna Summer we all know and love is B-A-C-K!! One line from the song has Donna purring that she is a furnace, and she wants us to "come burn in me".  Hot Hot Hot!!  This song has definitely got her fans burning for more.....I think the best version is the original Sebastian Arocha Morton album version.  Amazingly the album version seems to clock in just over 7 minutes!  That is classic Donna Summer. The latin break towards the end seems to suit Donna so well.  It has me saying "Yo te quiero mas" Donna.  And just look at the cd cover as well as the new album cover.  You can just tell Donna's creative juices are back in full swing.  Can't wait to hear the whole CD and look forward to the official first single, Stamp Your Feet!!
