The Martian By Andy Weir!!!

The Martian by Andy Weir

Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. 

Now, he’s sure he’ll be the first person to die there.

After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive—and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. 

Chances are, though, he won’t have time to starve to death. The damaged machinery, unforgiving environment, or plain-old “human error” are much more likely to kill him first. 

But Mark isn’t ready to give up yet. Drawing on his ingenuity, his engineering skills — and a relentless, dogged refusal to quit — he steadfastly confronts one seemingly insurmountable obstacle after the next. Will his resourcefulness be enough to overcome the impossible odds against him?


Review:

I finally read this book after numerous friends told me I HAD to read it.
It did not disappoint. I watched the movie awhile before reading the novel, but I definitely loved the book. There were a ton of laugh out loud moments and it was exactly what I needed during that time in my life. Because really, how can you compare your loneliness to that of a man stranded on Mars? Right, you can't, so it was helpful for me anyways. I enjoyed so much about it but the humor kept me turning the pages even through the shit show he had to endure. I recommend grabbing a copy and devouring it, right now! :)

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 ...
