Hemp Hearts Compliments of Swaggable

I finally received my Hemp Hearts Compliments of Swaggable. I have to do an honest review for trying/testing there product out. I've been wanting to try these for awhile,finally there here. I've been hearing great reviews about Hemp Hearts esp that there all natural and good for you.

Ok here goes my reaction of opening Hemp Hearts is OMG they want me to eat bird seeds. Cause that is what it looked like and it smelled like baby food. Now it's time for taste testing. First I tried them plain like they recommended didn't really have any flavor. Tasted bid bland and texture was just gross. Not giving up yet I also tried them in some yogurt,I couldn't tell any differences still no flavor. 

I'm thinking it maybe my taste buds. So I had my family to take a taste test. Well I'm not going to say what was said and what all happened there. Just going to say it wasn't my taste buds. lol I know Hemp Hearts are suppose to be good for you. So why put extra calories in your food if it doesn't add any relevance to it? Sorry but I say leave this one to the birdy birds....

"It's snowing," said boy with dog.

"It's only a snowflake," said grandfather with beard.

No one thinks one or two snowflakes will amount to anything. Not the man with the hat or the lady with the umbrella. Not even the television or the radio forecasters. But one boy and his dog have faith that the snow will amount to something spectacular, and when flakes start to swirl down on the city, they are also the only ones who know how to truly enjoy it. This playful depiction of a snowy day and the transformation of a city is perfectly captured in simple, poetic text and lively watercolor and pen-and-ink illustrations.

As snowflakes slowly come down, one by one, people in the city ignore them, and only a boy and his dog think that the snowfall will amount to anything.

I didn't pictorially like this one but it is still a good book for children to enjoy. Cause what child doesn't like snow?? Esp when they in school.. There just itching for an chance to get out of school and go play in that mess..I know my chaps is ready for some snow. They wanting to throw snowballs (at me)and build a snowman so bad they can't stand it.. As for me, well ok you got me I do like playing in the snow with them, they bring the inner child out in me...

There were no surprises in Gatlin County.
We were pretty much the epicenter of the middle of nowhere. At least, that's what I thought. Turns out, I couldn't have been more wrong. There was a curse.There was a girl. And in the end, there was a grave.
Lena Duchannes is unlike anyone the small Southern town of Gatlin has ever seen, and she's struggling to conceal her power and a curse that has haunted her family for generations. But even within the overgrown gardens, murky swamps and crumbling graveyards of the forgotten South, a secret cannot stay hidden forever.
Ethan Wate, who has been counting the months until he can escape from Gatlin, is haunted by dreams of a beautiful girl he has never met. When Lena moves into the town's oldest and most infamous plantation, Ethan is inexplicably drawn to her and determined to uncover the connection between them. In a town with no surprises, one secret could change everything.

Garcia and Stohl did a hor·rif·ic job on Beautiful Creatures I was blown away and not by all the storms raging in Gatlin County nor the Battle of Honey Hill either. I must say "when it rains it pours"...

To begin with the way the story was taking place I thought it was from a females prospective (Lena's)but turns out it was of Ethan's. Through out the story I didn't feel that Ethan was heroic the way they protrade him to be. I thought of him as just like any other teenage boy "whipped"...
For Lena well all she does through out the entire book is gloom over if she's going to turn dark on her 16 th birthday like her cousin Ridley had. Well maybe the book a be more interesting if she had...
Ridley maybe dark but I think I like her the best. She didn't sit around mopping,whining nor complains about every little thing. She uses her powers to her advantage and then some....

If it wasn't bad enough, what really gripped my azz about this book was the fact that Garcia and Stohl had the nerve,to use a scene from the movie Carrie. Well not exactly word for word but that's the vibes I was feeling when Ethan took Lena to the prom and ha ties broke loose... I couldn't believe that they actually thought that part would sit well with the readers....I just thought that was a cheap rip off if you ask me...

If Beautiful Darkness is anything like this one, I must say I do not care to read it. An to think this book had such raving reviews...
