Book Blurb from Goodreads:
Nardia is a very special nurse, one with a unique gift. With the touch of her bare hands, she can heal any physical ailment. With the help of her angel guide, Benilde, Nardia has healed her way through countless centuries.
Life should be easy for this attractive (not to mention, immortal) woman, but throw in two handsome men, a coffee addiction and memory loss that dates back to the medieval ages, and you’ve got a life that’s more than complicated.
When she meets AJ at her favorite coffee shop, she can’t help but feel an immediate attraction to him. At the same time, she knows there’s more to his story than what he’s letting on. And then there’s the handsome Doctor Regan, who she feels a connection with, but is she trying to make it more than is really there in order to spare her the heartbreak of being with AJ?
Only adding to her problems is the new resident, Dr. Jeffries, who seems out to get her from day one, and a murder case she can’t help solve without revealing her own secrets.
Can Nardia uncover the secrets of her own past while still moving forward and saving those in need of her help in the present?

This blog hop starts today (May 17th ) and lasts until the 23rd. You can find out more about it at Coffee Addicted Writer's blog page. This week's question.
May 17th - 23rd: What is your guilty pleasure read?
Guilty pleasure? Hmmmm... Reading short story eroticas? lol. I guess that's it. Plus I like reading Middle Age's books. I'm still a kid at heart even though I do read Eroticas from time to time. By that I just meant, the sex. NO love stories in it. Just that random sex stories. Okay so probably not eroticas since those kinds got love story. LOL. What about you?
Q: School is out! What is your favorite Summer Reading book??
Wow. Uh, I don't go to school anymore, for more than a year now. And I just had to say I sometimes miss it. Now that I got work, there's really no vacation time for me. Hmmm... I'm not a seasonal reader, if by seasonal you literally mean "SEASONS" like summer, winter, etc. If you mean if I'm reading seasonally... YES. LOL. But to answer the question, um... NONE. I read what my mood prefer, if you know what I mean. I do read whenever I got the time, anyway. :) What about you?

Book Blurb from Goodreads:
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Isn’t that what they say? But how close is too close when they may be one in the same?
The Seven Stages War left much of the planet a charred wasteland. The future belongs to the next generation’s chosen few who must rebuild it. But to enter this elite group, candidates must first pass The Testing—their one chance at a college education and a rewarding career.
Cia Vale is honored to be chosen as a Testing candidate; eager to prove her worthiness as a University student and future leader of the United Commonwealth. But on the eve of her departure, her father’s advice hints at a darker side to her upcoming studies--trust no one.
But surely she can trust Tomas, her handsome childhood friend who offers an alliance? Tomas, who seems to care more about her with the passing of every grueling (and deadly) day of the Testing. To survive, Cia must choose: love without truth or life without trust.
REVIEW:
This book is like a mixture of The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins and The Maze Runner by James Dashner. The Hunger Games because there is TESTING in this book, see the title? LOL. Well, THG basically got testing too. But unlike THG, I get why they have Hunger Games. In The Testing, I don't understand why they have the testing. Is it because the resources are scarce? I mean if they are trying to rebuild their country, Colony in fact, aren't they going to want all the people they could get so they could help the colony regrow to what it's state before the War?
Yes! I am still alive and kicking! LOL. I know I haven't been much on lately. Since I got work, it reduces my reading time greatly. :( and my internet time. So yes, I haven't been blogging every chance I got cause I'm checking FB, Twitter, Goodreads and SLEEPING a LOT. :( I'm so sorry. But things are a bit hectic.
I'm a slow reader so the books I was reading takes a long time for me to finish. >.< That's me and the one saying I am a slow reader are my friends. :/
Updates... I am listed to some of the upcoming blog tours though. I got one for Kelly Oram's Chameleon (Supernaturals #1) book. A new paranormal romance novel. And I am so excited for it! I love Kelly Oram's books! Check out Goodreads! I don't remember all of the blog tours I'm doing and that's the only blog tour I remember the name. Yes, memory loss. Lol.
In any case, will update soon enough after I finished my currently reading. I did finished Thorns by Kate Avery Ellison though days ago, just don't know what to really say about it yet so I'm finishing The Testing by Joelle Charbonneau first. :)
Till next post! :)
