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...

The Secret

Monthly Round-Up: April

Hello! And so, another month ends. I'm still sort of figuring stuff out with the round-up posts and this is only going to be a quick one, seeing as I'm meant to be on a bit of a break and whatnot.

The Pirate's Wish by Cassandra Rose Clarke
Nobody's Girl by Sarra Manning
Girl of Fire and Thorns by Rae Carson
Going Vintage by Lindsey Leavitt
Dead Silence by Kimberly Derting
Angelfall by Susan Ee
Touch of Power by Maria V Snyder
Kite Spirit by Sita Brahmachari

Total: 8

A pretty good month for me reading wise! I started off really well because of the holidays, but since I went back to college I haven't had half as much time to read and the weather's been really nice lately, and do you ever get that thing where it's sunny and you just don't want to do anything? Yeah... I'm just trying to come up with lame excuses for my laziness...

Book of the Month (without a doubt):


Girl of Fire and Thorns by Rae Carson

So, I've not really been up to much else this April, and this next month I'm going to spending revising... Not really got much to actually say that might be of any interest that is happening in my life right now! I am a very boring person with a very boring life.

But how about that Doctor Who, eh? Would it be too far to say that I think there have actually been a few decent episodes? Last week's was especially good, though what was up with that ending again! Why oh why can they never get the endings right... And Game of Thrones! I can't believe I'm even talking about the two in the same paragraph. I love DW, I (probably) always will, but GoT is just so much better. JAMIEEEEE!

Also regarding the tellybox, Parks & Recreation, possibly one of the funniest, most loveable tv shows in all the world, has been airing in the UK on BBC4 (Weds, 10pm) and if you haven't been watching then you're missing out (and you really should because it's a great show and everyone should watch it.)

Happy May Day!

Blog Tour & Giveaway: Fae by C.J. Abedi

--> Our education was a top priority for our parents and thus we were prohibited from watching a lot of television.  We spent a lot of time playing outdoors and a lot of time entertaining our minds with reading. It was easy to do because our father had a voracious appetite for nonfiction books and would sit in our family room every night often reading 500-600 page books within one or two nights.      Watching him so engulfed made sitting in a quiet room so easy. We had many favorite books growing up, but our favorites were also so different. Much like our personalities.  One of the shared loves we have is Pride and Prejudice.  We think if you talk to most authors of young adult fiction novels, this book will come up at some point. William Darcy epitomizes the “ultimate” man.  Even though he was a man of few words, he had a depth to him that has been mimicked throughout many love stories.  Devilyn Reilly shares a great...

The Gift of Cinder

This is my sister, holding the copy of Cinder, by Marissa Meyer, that I bought for her. Yes, I literally bought her a copy, since I'm pretty sure that I've loaned out my copy...and I can't remember which friend has it. We have fairly different tastes in books. She's totally prepared for the creepy, scary, and the attention-grabbing. I can only handle that in small doses before I have to sleep with the light on and a Disney movie playing on a TV. It's not pretty. There are some books that we do have in common. Harry Potter , Howl's Moving Castle , The Hunger Games ...these are all books with strong characters and adventure. That's why I thought that she would like Cinder . It's got kick-ass female characters (good and evil), and a romance that doesn't overpower the story. My sister is also someone that needs to be grabbed within the first 25 pages to really get through and enjoy a book. I knew that this one was perfect for that. When I read it, I cou...

Waiting on Wednesday (January 29)

Waiting on Wednesday was started by Jill at  Breaking the Spine . This weekly meme shares the upcoming books that I'm most excited about. A World Without Princes (The School of Good and Evil 2) by Soman Chainani In the epic sequel to the New York Times bestselling novel, The School for Good and Evil , Sophie and Agatha are home, living out their Ever After. But life isn't quite the fairy tale they expected. When Agatha secretly wishes she'd chosen a different happy ending, she reopens the gates to the School for Good and Evil. But the world she and Sophie once knew has changed. Witches and princesses, warlocks and princes are no longer enemies. New bonds are forming; old bonds are being shattered. But underneath this uneasy arrangement, a war is brewing and a dangerous enemy rises. As Agatha and Sophie battle to restore peace, an unexpected threat could destroy everything, and everyone, they love-and this time, it comes from within. Published by HarperCollins Re...
