Well hello there everyone!

I've been meaning to update... really I have.
But I've been sick and trying to make it to work but falling short since I've been sent home twice in the last three days. Bummer.
Anywho! Since my last post, I've been up to some reading and in case you don't follow me on goodreads, here they are (I'll be sure to link them to their corresponding goodreads site):


Funnily enough, 3 of these 5 books are series starters, 1 is the final book in the series and the final one is a continuation within the same series listed above.... Maybe I like immersing myself in a series.. or 2.

I'll be uploading a post within the next week (I'm thinking Monday) with a book review on either Poison Princess or The Immortal Rules as I am currently reading The Eternity Cure (Blood of Eden #2) by Julie Kagawa.

I will say that the book I might have liked most was Up From the Grave by Jeaniene Frost. It could be that since it was the last book in the series and I had been waiting -what felt like - forever for it that the "build up" helped. Or it could just be that it was a great book full of everything we have come to love about the series - certain characters and unexpected plot twists - and then ended gracefully. 
I should also add that series finale's for me are kind of love/hate since it's usually one I have been following for a couple of years or so (if I started from the first book's release). I want to know what happens next and at the same time don't want it to end.
This usually involves me buying a book on its release date and avoiding reading it for a month... or 5.

I try to avoid book reviews on any books I have been waiting for (unpatiently might I add)  just to make sure it doesn't influence any thoughts while reading and afterwards but I couldn't help it with this one! The ladies over at Vampire Book Club (VBC) have a great review of it that I wholeheartedly agree with here: VBC's review of Up From the Grave by Jeaniene Frost
They are also who I follow for book recommendations!

Moving along, I thought I should update you all on the Divas del Azucar premiere on MTV tr3s.

For those of you unaware, the premiere of this fabulous TV show airs on MTV tr3s at 9 PM on Tuesday, March 11th! I am so proud to be a part of such a fantastic experience involving some amazingly wonderful women and their equally beautiful and out of this world cake creations. 
Avoiding any emotional blogging, I would just like to say how much I love them and am in awe of their hard work, dedication, passion, and love they pour into their work every day.
Now, that being said, go check out their new show! You will not want to miss this world premiere spectacular event.

I hope March treats you well and is full of many new, exciting experiences.
Feeling the love, I would like to leave you all off with this song that makes me feel full of just that - love.

See you soon!
