Weigh In Wednesday - Review: Grasping At Eternity by Karen Hooper

FIVE Stars to Grasping At Eternity by Karen Amanda Hooper

O.M.G. Yes, this book is THAT good. When I first saw this book cover, I loved it. When I read Tangled Tides, I could not wait to read another book written by Karen Hooper. When I first got this book, I was torn between waiting to read it (because I just KNEW it would be awesome) and reading it (because I just KNEW it would be awesome). Then when I started reading it, I read as slow as possible. I read every word. I wanted to cherish every chapter. I kept stopping while I was reading because I didn't want it to end. But I went right back to reading because I HAD to know what was going to happen. I stayed up all night reading it because it was so so so good.

A book about love, soulmates, death, war (within self and an actual war of sorts that's going on), and remembering. It's about so much more than that, but I'm at a loss for what all to say. If you've ever read any of my reviews then you know, I really hate to spoil a book and I REALLY hate to spoil an AWESOME book. I know there are people who will review this book and tell you more. You will read that the MC is Maryah, a seventeen year old girl who's thrown into a situation that's hard to handle. You'll probably read about reincarnation and possibly even Elements. There will even be people who talk about Nathaniel and traverse. Maybe even astral travel.

The point is, yes I know that other places are going to say more about the book. That's fine, I'm not one to do that. I'm not even going to pretend to put spoilers because I just can't spoil any part of this book. The supernatural aspects are far from the 'typical,' The writing is good, the concept unique, and the plot fantastic.

This book is now my number one favorite of any book I've read in at least the past three or more years. I don't even know which awesome aspect made it number one, probably all of them put together. This book is fantastically fabulously awesome and you should go read it if you haven't. GREAT JOB Karen Hooper, can't wait for more books to come. :)

Happy Reading Everyone :)

To Do List: Read

Every writer must also be a reader. So why is it so hard to find time to read? I used to have a major problem marking this one off my to do, but I have figured out ways to accomplish it. So today's to do is

READ:


Books are important in life, and everyone, writer or not, should be a reader. With all the other various things that we have to get done in a day, or even things to work on, our books(TBR lists) get left behind. It's time to put read on your to do list, and actually mark it off.

So, I told you that you need to do it, now let's talk about HOW to do it.

Reading is one of the easiest things to check off the to do list. I know it may not seem like it, but it truly is. There will be days when you think your to do for the day is so massive that there is no way to fit time in to read anything, but you are wrong. Everyone has, at the VERY least, five minutes of 'free time' in their day. I know you may not think you have any free time, but it's there, I promise.

It is important to read, period, there is no way around it. Reading is a must, and if you even have five minutes to do it, you should. So to mark it off, look over your entire to do, and find those gaps where you have free time. When you find those gaps, schedule in your reading time for the day. It will be there, you just have to look for it.

Happy Reading :)
