Brooke's Books

Hello Everyone! It's been quite a while since anyone has posted on here. Alisha and I tried to keep it going, but life happened and things got busy. Lately, I started thinking about this blog and how fun it was for everyone! We had all kinds of reviews and contests with people interacting with one another. It was a good community for those who loved to read. This is why I would like to announce that I have started up my own blog, Brooke's Books. It's not nearly as big as Alisha's website and it's just starting up, but I'm putting up a lot of the same kinds of reviews on my blog. So if any of you were missing the content on Alisha's blog, you should look up my blog here . I'll be announcing weekly releases (as I used to), book reviews, and other fun features I'm working on. I'm not sure if it will be the same as Black Nailed Reviews, but I think it will be a fun experience! I have missed writing and have missed all of you readers as well. I hope y...

Review

Plot: Silence is the third installment in the Hush, Hush series and I am so thankful this was not the last book. I think me, among thousdands of other fans, thought this would be the end but once I started reading the book, I was glad to see that this might not be the end. Silence starts out with Nora waking up, not knowing about anything that has happened in past years and finally being found after several months. She goes back to her life trying to go back into routine of summer school, family and friends...totally forgetting Patch. Basically, the book surrounds Nora trying to regain her memory and figuring out why all of these supernatural happenings are going on around her. I was disappointed when it came to some of the way people acted around her, either they acted like she should already know everything she forgot or hid things from her. But then again it was kind of interesting to see her memory work when it came to Patch. It was very gradual and faint, which was good because I would have been so angry  if she remembered Patch and not her mom.

Character(s): Nora - Sad to say, I'm glad Nora lost her memory. She was easier to read and I could empathize what she was going through. I would say that I did still feel a little off with her because she still is herself and she does do a few things that I think are unnecessary. She does eventually move past it but that is one problem I always have with her is that she does some things where the characters' ask her why she would do it and I am doing the same as well.

Cover: Becca never disappoints me with her covers. This one is probably my favorite of the four. It looks very dramatic but also simple, telling the story of the two in one pose. Definitely love the models, and love the theme Fitzpatrick always keeps with this series.

Closing Thoughts: This was a nice progression in the series but it wasn't my favorite book. Was it a great book? Absolutely. Did I completely enjoy it? Not as much as I did with Hush, Hush and Crescendo. I feel like this is the "sequel-isque" book, where it just progresses the story but doesn't truly stand out for me. I hope Finale will be the conclusion we're looking for. My opinion for this book is that I'm just glad it is not the ending to Nora's story.

Where to find Becca:

Peace and Fangs,
Alisha

Bookish Question: Reading Stats

How Many Books Do You Read? In a year, what is your set challenge? Do you even set a challenge? When you create an account on Goodreads every year it asks you if you want to set a "challenge" for yourself. How many books do you cant to read a year? Last year I challenged myself to read 80 books. I read 76. I think my initial intention was to read 75, but then I got cocky. The year before that I also challenged myself to read 75 books and read 76. 2011's Challenge... I dont even want to talk about it. The truth is every year I didn't have a game plan. I just read for the sake of reading. Because I love it, because I wanted to immerse myself in another person's world. This year is slightly different. I finished College, graduated, and got a part time job (finding a full time job is a pain in the butt). So I have the time. Most importantly, I have a plan.      Every week I try to read 3 books. I started this recently, since I got my part time job. With 26 weeks left ...
