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: 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.

Books read in April: 

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 

Reviews Posted:

Getting Over Garrett Delaney 
Clockwork Princess
Nobody's Girl 
Girl of Fire and Thorns 
Going Vintage 
Dead Silence 
Touch of Power 
Kite Spirit 


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!

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: Cress By Marissa Meyer & Giveaway

Rapunzel’s tower is a satellite. She can’t let down her hair—or her guard. In this third book in the bestselling Lunar Chronicles series, Cinder and Captain Thorne are fugitives on the run, with Scarlet and Wolf in tow. 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. All that screen time has made Cress an excellent hacker—unfortunately, she’s just received orders from Levana to track down Cinder and her handsome accomplice. 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...

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...
