I have read three books this week and I want to give them a short review.
The first and second books I read were Jenny Pox and Tommy Nightmare by J. L. Bryan. Well, the weirdest thing happened while I was reading these books. When I started Jenny Pox, I was immediately hooked. My heart broke for Jenny and I was so happy to see her finally find someone that could possibly be her equal. Without giving any spoilers, I can just say that by the end of the book I had to know what happened next, so thank goodness Tommy Nightmare was just released. Well, to make my weird story short, by the end of the second book, I absolutely hated them. I told myself that I would never read the third book when it is released and I wanted to email J. L. Bryan and tell him his books sucked. But..., now that I have had a few days to digest it, I realized that the books were extremely well written. The characters were well fleshed out, and he made me care about them. AND, I can't wait for the third book to come out. Okay, I know, I told you it was weird. The only thing I can say, is that his books were so intense that I had an emotional overload that caused my circuits to jam. Once my circuits were smoothed out, they realized just how great these books really were. Now, if someone says that about your books, then you must be some kind of writer. So, J. L. Bryan, my hat is off to you for causing my breakdown.
Now, the third book I read is Human Blend by Lori Pescatore. Wow, what a difference. Not quite as intense, as the previous two books, but by far my favorite of the three. This is a "must read" for anyone who likes YA or Adult Paranormal Romance. She has certainly created a unique form of paranormal circumstances and combined it with an assortment of romantic pleasures. This book left my heart racing, my toes tingling, and one phrase on my tongue, "I want more"!!! So, Lori, please get busy. I have to have more of Laney/Julie and her new found family and friends. You are a fantastic writer, and I know that you will go far. Me and my big mouth will certainly be shouting about your new book and I wish you the best of luck.

My Baby Step Into the World of Blogging
Well, let's get this blog party started. I'm sure the first question most people will want to know, is , what the heck is a wubsmom. My answer to that would be, I'm the mother to a beautiful girl who's real name is Jessica, but has been known as Wubby J. Begonia (or Wub for short) since she was 4 years old. Her daddy came up with that nickname and it has stuck. She is now a happily married adult and we still call her Wub. We have nicknamed her husband Bub and we call them the Ubs.
Okay, enough about the Ubs for now, and something about me. I am a child of the 80's, who is too young to be old and too old to be young. So, where does that leave me?? A person that is biologically forty three years old, who physically feels ninety (sometimes) and who mentally still feels twenty five (on most days), and who has been forced into early retirement due to a health issue (will post more on that at a later time). So, now that my days are free, I have decided to renew my passion for writing.
I am, and have always been, an avid reader. I am currently a huge fan of the Young Adult Paranormal genre, with my favorite authors being Amanda Hocking (who doesn't love her), Lisa McMann, S. L. Naeole, Jessica Verday, Rachel Vincent, Zoe Winters, and yes I am even a fan of Stephanie Meyer (don't hate me). Another author, J. L. Bryan, is on my reading list and I suspect will soon be another addition to my fan list.
But now, the writing world is becoming my new love interest. I have been writing for years, but only in my mind. I never had the time to let the characters that live in my crazy mind become anything more than shades of my imaginative reality. I take that back, I have pages and pages (and pages) of plots and snippets of things written down, including several books started. I just don't have them in any kind of a book ready form. So, now is the time to let these demanding entities find their place in the written world. Heaven help us all.
I think that I will leave it at that for today. I don't want to put everything in my first blog, otherwise what will I have left to write about in my future blogs.
