Confess by Colleen Hoover

Confess by Colleen Hoover

Auburn Reed has her entire life mapped out. Her goals are in sight and there’s no room for mistakes. But when she walks into a Dallas art studio in search of a job, she doesn’t expect to find a deep attraction to the enigmatic artist who works there, Owen Gentry.

For once, Auburn takes a risk and puts her heart in control, only to discover Owen is keeping major secrets from coming out. The magnitude of his past threatens to destroy everything important to Auburn, and the only way to get her life back on track is to cut Owen out of it.

The last thing Owen wants is to lose Auburn, but he can’t seem to convince her that truth is sometimes as subjective as art. All he would have to do to save their relationship is confess. But in this case, the confession could be much more destructive than the actual sin…

Audience: 18+

Review:
By the first few pages I was already crying. The love of these young kids is pure and heart wrenching. <3 When we jump ahead to present day, we are left with some secrets to unfold, and man are they some great secrets. Owen Gentry is mysterious and has some secrets of his own. These secrets leave you begging to be revealed! The art work is GORGEOUS! Danny O'Connor, the artist, is amazing. I'm obviously not an art major, so I don't know a lot, but the layers in his paintings take my breath away. I seem to find more and more in the painting that I hadn't seen the first time or fifth time I had looked at it. I can't wait to order some for my home. The concept of the confessions is amazing, I loved it so much. The fact that the confessions she uses in the book are confessions from real people, makes it even more amazing to read. I loved the idea of Owen getting confessions and using them to inspire his next painting, and then keeping the confession with the painting as a title. All in all I LOVED this book. The final secret had me crying again of course, but it's worth it 100%.

"I ate them like salad..." Our love for books, regardless of their content.

Happy Banned Books Week readers! Usually, I don't think too much about banned books.  I have such a deep love for the written word that it never occurs to me that someone, somewhere could possibly take offense to the beautiful words these brilliant minds have shared with us.  The theme of this week however has forced me to stop for a second and think, "Where would I be without my books y'all?!" Emma and some of her favorite banned books :) One of my all time favorite books, FAHRENHEIT 451 by Ray Bradbury is not only a banned book, but it is also an insightful and deep commentary on censorship (how's that for irony eh?).  I was "fortunate" enough to read this book in high school.  I say "fortunate" because I know in my heart how blessed I was to study literature in school, however I struggled with the forced nature of reading created by needing to prove I had learned something from the material.  By the time I got to my Senior year when ...

All Souls Trilogy By Deborah Harkness!

Let's just start off by saying watching season one of the TV show brought me to finally reading it and thank goodness I did! I devoured the entire series after that. There was no stopping. These characters make you fly through the pages and demand you don't stop until the very end. There was never a dull moment, and I cannot wait for the rest of the series to air and see this story unfold. (I've already re-watched season one after finishing the books because I wanted to go back to this amazing story! Obsessed. Will definitely be my go to re-watch show!) Now that I've boasted here are the abouts of all three :) If you like spoilers read all three, if not then just grab the links to buy and purchase them all! :) Enjoy! A Discovery of Witches A richly inventive novel about a centuries-old vampire, a spellbound witch, and the mysterious manuscript that draws them together.  Deep in the stacks of Oxford's Bodleian Library, young scholar Diana Bishop unwittingly calls up...

Muffin Top By Avery Flynn!!!!!

"Smart, sassy, and utterly delightful! Get ready to fall head-over-heels in love with Lucy, one of the wittiest and most inspiring heroines I've ever met!" - Annika Martin New York Times bestselling author Muffin Top, a hot romantic comedy from USA Today bestselling author Avery Flynn is available now! The only thing about me that's a size zero is the filter on my mouth. I've got a big personality, a big rack, and a big number on the scale. And I'm perfectly fine with that. But when some random guy suggests I might not be eating alone if I'd ordered a salad instead of a hamburger I'm shocked silent, which is a feat, trust me. That brings us to one sexy fireman named Frankie Hartigan. He's hot. He's funny… And he's just apologized for being late for our "date" then glared at the fat-shaming jerk. Next thing I know, he's sitting down and ordering himself dinner. I have no problem telling him I don't need ...
