Some Thoughts On: The Raven King

The Raven King (The Raven Cycle #4) Maggie Stiefvater April 26th 2016 Scholastic ******Will probably contain spoilers for this book and the whole series just as a heads up****** I'm not going to try and write a normal review for The Raven King, because quite frankly I don't even know if I'm capable of doing proper reviews any more, and this is not the book or the series where I want to figure that out. That, and my love for this series transcends that of something which I can properly review, as I am completely biased and I *will* fight people about these books. On that note, this is also won't even entirely be about The Raven King on its own. Rather, it's a chance for me to go on and on and on and on and on about how much I love these books and Blue and those darn boys. My biggest fear about The Raven King, as is always the case with final books in a beloved series, was that it wouldn't be a good or fitting ending. I did not need to be worried. Rather than reac...

Monthly Round-Up: March

You may be thinking, 'What is Cicely doing, starting a new series of monthly round-up posts in  March?!'. You may not be thinking anything at all. But I just wanted to start doing round ups at the end of every month because I think that I post a lot of reviews and read a lot of books that I feel sometimes don't get the attention they deserve and I want to highlight them again and also just to keep track of everything each month, you know? So hopefully I'll be doing a round up of what I've read/reviewed each month. I hope you enjoy! (Just give me a couple of months to figure out how I want to format it and what have you. Bare with me.)

Books read:

Etiquette & Espionage by Gail Carriger
Soulless by Gail Carriger
Undone by Cat Clarke
Beauty by Robin McKinley
Out of The Easy by Ruta Sepetys
In The Hands of The Goddess by Tamora Pierce
Requiem by Lauren Oliver
Clockwork Princess by Cassie Clare
Getting Over Garrett Delaney by Abby McDonald

Total: 9 (my best month so far this year!)

Book of the month:

Undone by Cat Clarke 



Books reviewed: 
Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver
Perfect Scoundrels by Ally Carter
The Madness Underneath by Maureen Johnson
Requiem by Lauren Oliver

I didn't really post anything of any importance that wasn't a review this month, but if I ever do then I'll be sure to mention them as well. Also, I'll try and make the next one look more visually interesting or something. I'm just kind of trying to figure out how I want to do this. If I was better at the tech-ier side of things than it'd look a lot better (then again, my whole blog would look a lot more fancypants.) So, yeah.

Also, unrelated, but who watched Doctor Who yesterday? I was surprised by how much I actually enjoyed it, but I think that that was mainly because it reminded of me the David Tennant days back when I actually genuinely loved and cared about the show. I still have a lot of issues with Moffat's writing though.

And, I think more important than Doctor Who, Game of Thrones comes back! You guys have no idea how ridiculously excited I am about this. I've been rewatching the show in preparation and boy I can't believe how much I forgot how good it is. Honestly, it's one of the best things on telly (but seriously if you're under 16 IGNORE THIS PART I do not want to be held responsible for making people curious about a show that it completely inappropriate for them)

So yes. March has been pretty good!

The Madness Underneath review

The Madness Underneath (Name of the Star #2) Maureen Johnson 28th March 2013 HarperCollins Children's Books After her near-fatal run-in with the Jack the Ripper copycat, Rory Devereaux has been living in Bristol under the close watch of her parents. So when her therapist suddenly suggests she return to Wexford, Rory jumps at the chance. But Rory's brush with the Ripper touched her more than she thought possible: she's become a human terminus, with the power to eliminate ghosts on contact. She soon finds out that the Shades—the city's secret ghost-fighting police—are responsible for her return. The Ripper may be gone, but now there is a string of new inexplicable deaths threatening London. Rory has evidence that the deaths are no coincidence. Something much more sinister is going on, and now she must convince the squad to listen to her before it's too late. In this follow-up to the Edgar Award-nominated The Name of the Star, Maureen Johnson adds another layer of spec...

Book Review: Dorothy Must Die by Danielle Paige

  didn't ask for any of this. I didn't ask to be some kind of hero. But when your whole life gets swept up by a tornado—taking you with it—you have no choice but to go along, you know? Sure, I've read the books. I've seen the movies. I know the song about the rainbow and the happy little blue birds. But I never expected Oz to look like this. To be a place where Good Witches can't be trusted, Wicked Witches may just be the good guys, and winged monkeys can be executed for acts of rebellion. There's still the yellow brick road, though—but even that's crumbling. What happened? Dorothy. They say she found a way to come back to Oz. They say she seized power and the power went to her head. And now no one is safe. Best Bits: Oh. My. Glob. There was something so deliciously twisted about this book that kept me from setting it down. I was reading it during my lunch break because I couldn't wait to find out what happened next. Amy is like Dorothy in many ...

Book Review: Cress By Marissa Meyer & Giveaway

Together, they’re plotting to overthrow Queen Levana and her army. Their best hope lies with Cress, who has been trapped on a satellite since childhood with only her netscreens as company.

When a daring rescue goes awry, the group is separated. Cress finally has her freedom, but it comes at a high price. Meanwhile, Queen Levana will let nothing stop her marriage to Emperor Kai.

That's a formula that usually means I...
