Synopsis:

For thirty-five girls, the Selection is the chance of a lifetime. The opportunity to escape the life laid out for them since birth. To be swept up in a world of glittering gowns and priceless jewels. To live in a palace and compete for the heart of gorgeous Prince Maxon.

But for America Singer, being Selected is a nightmare. It means turning her back on her secret love with Aspen, who is a caste below her. Leaving her home to enter a fierce competition for a crown she doesn't want. Living in a palace that is constantly threatened by violent rebel attacks.

Then America meets Prince Maxon. Gradually, she starts to question all the plans she's made for herself—and realizes that the life she's always dreamed of may not compare to a future she never imagined.

My Opinion:

America Singer doesn't want to go to into the selection. In fact she just wants to marry the 6 she has fallen in love with and live happily ever after. Her mother insist that she goes into the selection. The 6 she has fallen in love with has also told her that she at least go into the lottery for the selection. She doesn't believe that a five could win the heart of the prince besides her love life is already decided. She's ready to get married and be a 6. What she does not anticipate is actually being selected to be part of the selection.

She's now in the running for the prince's heart. She seems like such a rough character during the book that it sometimes feels hard to relate to her or even to enjoy her. However, there is something about her that even with those things makes her a character that you can love. Even with all her faults. Maxon just makes me melt. His attempts at love for the first time. They are adorable. You can't even get angry with him for some of the mistakes he makes. Watching him try to accommodate America with her wants and needs are perfect.

The way he got his first date with any of the girls was cute. Making a bet with America that her sister would cry if she ate the tart that America was eating. If she won she would get to wear pants and if he won he would get a date with her. I also love all of America's ladies. They are so much fun and amazing to grow with. They are so funny that at times after something bad has happened you can't help but laugh at something they do or say.

This is my 4th or 5th maybe even my 7th read through of these books. I can never get enough of America and Maxon.

The way they made plans for Valentine's Day without knowing much about each other. Him being quick to protect her when they went back for the dog. T...

Baker's Corner-Herbed Crockpot Bread

Preparing to make this bread. Yes, you read that right! Herbed Crock Pot Bread. I probably thought the same thing that you are thinking right now. You can make bread in the crockpot?!? Where the heck has this been all my life! So I decided that I would try this recipe and I'll let a link to where I found the recipe at the bottom along with the recipe itself. I want to give credit where credit is due. So anyways I was pretty stoked to find a recipe that I could make bread in the crockpot. I want to go ahead and make note that all crockpots are different and not all of them cook at the same temperature. So while the times in this may work for you they did not work for me. The recipe is simple to do and fairly quick in the process if you have all of the ingredients on hand. I thought I had all the ingredients on hand only to discover I did not so a quick trip to the Dollar General was in order. Sadly they did not have the items I needed so I made a quick trip next door to ...
