Ohana Talks: Books Read in 2015 but Didn't Get Review.

   Throughout most of the year you see and hear about the books that I've read and reviewed, but you never hear about the book I read and didn't review. So for today, I wanted to highlight some of the other fabulous books that just never got a review! And I must say, there are a lot of them.




   What about the rest of you bloggers or reviewers? Were there any books that you read but didn't review? How long is your list? I'd love to know!

March Wrap Up!

   March was a once again a slow month, nothing really exciting happened in the bookish world for me. March was mostly about hanging out with my really close group of friends, which is always a blast by the way. My family took a weekend off from everything to go skiing, I finally had my birthday party, and oh, I forgot! I actually designed the Never Always Sometimes bookmarks for Adi Alsaid, so I'm actually so excited to see how they turn out! The last thing that stood out otherwise was that the last few days of March for
We're a bunch of nerds

Waiting on Wednesday (23)

Shutter

Author: Courtney Alameda
Expected: February 3rd, 2015
Feiwel & Friends


Description from GoodReads:


   Micheline Helsing is a tetrachromat—a girl who sees the auras of the undead in a prismatic spectrum. As one of the last descendants of the Van Helsing lineage, she has trained since childhood to destroy monsters both corporeal and spiritual: the corporeal undead go down by the bullet, the spiritual undead by the lens. With an analog SLR camera as her best weapon, Micheline exorcises ghosts by capturing their spiritual energy on film. She's aided by her crew: Oliver, a techno-whiz and the boy who developed her camera's technology; Jude, who can predict death; and Ryder, the boy Micheline has known and loved forever.

   When a routine ghost hunt goes awry, Micheline and the boys are infected with a curse known as a soulchain. As the ghostly chains spread through their bodies, Micheline learns that if she doesn't exorcise her entity in seven days or less, she and her friends will die. Now pursued as a renegade agent by her monster-hunting father, Leonard Helsing, she must track and destroy an entity more powerful than anything she's faced before . . . or die trying.

   Lock, stock, and lens, she’s in for one hell of a week.


Why I Want It:


   Creepy things, that is what i've heard from my fellow bloggers. Some very creepy things, but definitely worth it. I enjoy reading creepy books when I'm camping in the summer, it freaks me out, but Shutter will be the perfect book for me.


Why You Should Want It:


   If you're a horror movie person, or a ghost person then I can't see why you wouldn't want to read Shutter. Reading Shutter will give you the chills worse then when you see a horror flick in the movie theatre.


   That's my waiting on Wednesday for this week! Will you be picking up Shutter? What are you waiting on this week? Let me know in the comments!
