Losing Hope by Colleen Hoover

I just finished the new book Losing Hope by Colleen Hoover and I am simply awestruck by this author once again! All her books are synonymous with the word PERFECTION!

This book is currently available for pre-order and will be published on July 8, 2013. I highly recommend running, not walking to get it!!!

Here's my full spoiler-free review:

Absolutely incredible!

Losing Hope is a remarkable companion to the outstanding story original, Hopeless.  Colleen Hoover’s follow-up detailing Holder’s heartfelt perspective is more than I even thought possible. Losing Hope takes us back to the moments that have influenced, affected and defined Dean Holder and the undeniable love he has for Hope…Sky.

“I have no idea where my love ends and hers begins.”

Losing Hope is NOT just the same story told from a different point of view…of course there is a certain familiarity, but it is so much more and it truly is completely and totally distinctive!  As readers, we get so much more insight to Holder…the sum total of his experiences that connect you to the heart and soul of this beautiful character and this utterly amazing story.

‘I place my palm over her heart, then pull her hand to my heart. I lower my eyes to her level, making sure she’s completely in this moment with me. ”F*** all the first, Sky. The only thing that matters to me with you are the forevers.”’

Colleen Hoover is an exceptionally brilliant author with the ability to captivate and emotionally engage the reader through her powerful writing.

Ms. Hoover, I live you!

Slowly, But Surely

I did not realize the amount of work it would take to start a book blog...

"html, tags & links, oh, my!"

I have to keep telling myself that once I get the 'bones' of the blog set up, that the updating the blog should be as easy as the reviews I post on other reading & social networking websites...right?

There is still a lot I have to do in regards to completing the pages for the pink tabs to the left over there...so please be patient while I continue 'building' this new blog.

Up To Date Pages Are:
Absolute Must Reads
5 Star Book Reviews A - L
5 Star Book Reviews M - Z
Cliffhangers...Really???
Imaginary Bookshelf
Book Freebies & Sale Alerts

But with as much as I read, I will always have information to add to keep everybody apprised to what's new in my reading obsessed world! 

I am working to finish the other pages as quickly as I can. Although, it may be for not as no one may even see this blog as I have not given out the address to anyone, but Amy! BTW, thanks Amy for the kind words...you are a good friend!

Welcome to 'For Reading Out Loud'

Please note that this blog is currently under construction.

Please excuse the lack of posted information...I am working on it!

The following tabbed pages to the left are up to date and fairly completed*:
  • Absolute MUST Reads - I figured this was the most important page as it provides blog readers with books that I highly recommend!
  • 5 Star Rated Books A - L
  • 5 Star Rated Books M - Z
*Most of the books rated in the 5 Star category have been linked to a personal review. There are a couple that I am working on linking to my review. You will notice that these do not have a highlighted title link, however, if you click the asterisk (*), you will be linked to the book description along with other posted reviews (which of course, may differ than my opinion...it's what makes the world go round!).

Please visit again soon as I will be posting the latest expected publication news and my personal favorite...sale alerts and free book offers!

 Happy Reading!!!
