Happy Valentine's Day everyone!! I hope you all have had a great day so far, and if it hasn't been then I hope it gets better. Well since this is a book blog I thought we'd celebrate the day by talking about some of our favorite romantic books.
Mine is Till Death Do Us Part by Lurlene McDaniel.
Here's a quick synopsis for it:
The doctor's diagnosis for April Lancaster is not good. April has a brain tumor which cannot be operated on. She's only 18, and her future is uncertain. But when she meets Mark Gianni, a 21-year-old with a passion for car racing, things change.
Mark is handsome and charming--and has cystic fibrosis. Despite herself, April falls completely in love with him. April says yes when Mark asks her to marry him. But a racing accident aggravates Mark's CF, and April must make a decision that will change the course of her life forever.
If you're interested in this book you can buy it from amazon for $5.50 paperback or $4.99 kindle edition.

What I'm Reading
So today I decided on the next book I'm going to read: Rot & Ruin by Jonathan Maberry. It is the 1st book in a supposed 4 book series; although more may be added in the future. The 2nd book is Dust & Decay which is out now, the 3rd will be Flesh & Bone coming out September 11, 2012 and the 4th is titled Fire & Ash and will be released in 2013. Here's a bit about the author & the book.
About the author:
JONATHAN MABERRY is a New York Times best-selling and multiple Bram Stoker Award-winning author, magazine feature writer, playwright, content creator and writing teacher/lecturer. His books have been sold to more than twenty countries.
Rot & Ruin Synopsis:
Benny Imura was a baby when the zombie apocalypse happened. His first memory is of his mother handing him to his older half brother as she is being dragged down by his zombie-fied father. He resents Tom for leaving his mother, for running away. To Benny, Tom is a coward. To everyone else in their fenced-in town, Tom is the toughest, bravest zombie killer in California. As Benny approaches his 15th birthday, he must find a job or forfeit half of his food rations. After losing half a dozen jobs, he reluctantly agrees to work as Tom's apprentice in the “Family Business.” When they travel out into the Rot and Ruin, he witnesses things that change his opinion of his brother and forever alter his perception of the world. He also learns that flesh-eating zombies aren't the scariest or most dangerous monsters around. As with all zombie stories, this one requires a fairly large suspension of disbelief, but once the brothers enter the Rot and Ruin, readers become too wrapped up in the plot to dwell on some lapses of logic. The relationship between Benny and Tom becomes surprisingly complex and satisfying, as does the romantic subplot between Benny and his friend Nix.
Let me know if you have read this book and what you though about it, no spoilers please though. Also, if you want to get a copy and read along with me then feel free to join in and post comments about your thoughts as you read.
This book can be purchased at any book retailer and online stores. I got my copy on sale from Books-A-Million for $3.97.

Finally Finished!!!
So earlier today (about 5:30 pm) I finished reading the last book in the Hunger Games trilogy. I must say, i was very pleased with the ending. It made me even more excited for the movie to come out next month; even though the movie's only over the first book. I just hope the movie is as wonderful as the books are. The previews for it look promising though. It's very late (2:14 am) and I need to be getting to bed, so when I get time this week I'll do a non-spoiler review over the whole series.
