“Here, I’ll show you how to use it. Let me see your foot.”
“That’s a pretty intimate demand in the angel world. It usually takes dinner, some wine, and sparkling conversation for me to give up my feet.”
Goodread's Synopsis: It's been six weeks since the angels of the apocalypse destroyed the world as we know it. Only pockets of humanity remain.
Savage street gangs rule the day while fear and superstition rule the night.
When angels fly away with a helpless girl, her seventeen-year-old sister Penryn will do anything to get her back...
My Review: I LOVED THIS BOOK. Lately all the books I've read I have loved and it's amazing!!! First off, it hooks you from the beginning with a thick plot. Then the rest of the book is ACTION!!! (and a little romance, heh ;33) The character development is flawless, this book is just so good! I am currently reading the second book, World After, and I'm loving it! I don't have much to say about this book, sorry for the crappy review. :P, I'm on a lot of medication for poison ivy and sumac, so I'm pretty out of it. I just wanted to feel productive, haha! Expect better reviews and posts soon once I'm in better health. Love you guys! <3 c:

"Every Day meets Cloud Atlas in this heart-racing, space- and time-bending, epic new trilogy from New York Times bestselling author Claudia Gray."
Goodreads Synopsis: Marguerite Caine’s physicist parents are known for their radical scientific achievements. Their most astonishing invention: the Firebird, which allows users to jump into parallel universes, some vastly altered from our own. But when Marguerite’s father is murdered, the killer—her parent’s handsome and enigmatic assistant Paul—escapes into another dimension before the law can touch him.
Marguerite can’t let the man who destroyed her family go free, and she races after Paul through different universes, where their lives entangle in increasingly familiar ways. With each encounter she begins to question Paul’s guilt—and her own heart. Soon she discovers the truth behind her father’s death is more sinister than she ever could have imagined.
A Thousand Pieces of You explores a reality where we witness the countless other lives we might lead in an amazingly intricate multiverse, and ask whether, amid infinite possibilities, one love can endure.
My Review: This book, this book, it was absolutely just what I needed. Now I warn you it is not a very large sci-fi book. Most of this book is based around a romance but with sci-fi elements like time travel. I've been in a horrible reading slump and this book is exactly what I needed. I finished it in one sitting and the romance was so perfect and complicated and just ahhhh. I can't say enough good things about this book. Just go buy it, read this book! The only reason it is 4.5 stars for me is because I went into it expecting an epic sci-fi. However I was not disappointed and I hope you won't be either! :)

Grown Up Fan Girl created this tag and I wasn't tagged but oh well. ;)
This seems really fun so I tag anyone who wants to do this!

Answer: Normally I read on my bed but at the moment I live with my uncle so I read practically anywhere.
Question #2: Bookmark or a random piece of paper?

Question #3: Can you stop reading anytime you want or do you have to start at a certain page, chapter, part, ect.?

Question #4: Do you eat or drink while reading?
Answer: Very rarely if I'm sooo into the book that I don't do anything but read, my mom will set snacks in front of me so I eat. But most of the time I don't eat, but I occasionally drink tea. :)
Question #5: Can you read while listening to music/watching TV?
