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...

Letterbox Love #38


Letterbox Love is the UK's version of IMM, hosted by the lovely Lynsey at Narratively Speaking :)


This is all my stuff from the past couple of weeks, before you go off thinking that I've had a really good post week... And sorry this is up a bit late. I was, y'know, sleeping, so, that may have gotten in the way. A little bit. ;)

Review:
The Coldest Girl in Coldtown by Holly Black (So freaking excited for this book. Thank you Indigo!)
Stay Where You Are & Then Leave by John Boyne (Not ready any of John's books before, so I'm curious. Also, it came with a pack of, like old timey sweets which was really cool.)
Ghost Hawk by Susan Cooper
Teardrop by Lauren Kate(Not too sure about this one. I'm not the biggest fan of Lauren's books, but I'll give it a read and then maybe give it to someone else who wants it more than me around the time it comes out? Thanks to Random House for these three.)
Into The Grey by Celine Kiernan (Ghost story. That's all I needed to know! Thanks Walker!)

Borrowed:
Vivian Versus The Apocalypse by Katie Coyle (borrowed this from Bella at Cheezyfeet Books. It looks like so much fun. Thank you Bella!)

Bought:
Slated by Teri Terry
Fearsome Dreamer by Laure Eve
Attachments by Rainbow Rowell
Rose Under Fire by Elizabeth Wein
Everneath by Brodi Ashton

What did you get this week? :)

YALC!

This post is perhaps a tad late, but last weekend was the excellent YALC, and it was such a good experience this year that I have to write about it! YALC - the Young Adult Literature Convention that is also a part of the larger LFCC - is in it's second year, and they really improved upon the first one. Of course I enjoyed the first one a lot last year (you can see that post here if you really want to), but it was better organised and less crowded this year which made it a much more smooth and much less stressful experience! It also helped that I wasn't carrying a ridiculous amount of books around with me like I did last year. (Books and some of the swag that I acquired! The books are Am I Normal Yet? by Holly Bourne, Lobsters by Lucy Ivison and Tom Ellen, Stone Rider by David Hofmeyer, Counting Stars by Keris Stainton, The Accident Season by Moira Fowley-Doyle, Silence is Goldfish by Annabel Pitcher and These Shallow Graves by Jennifer Donnelly!) (Jo (@jowearsoldcoats), me an...

Fall Festival: L.T. Getty Guest Post and Giveaway #5

L.T. Getty obtained her degree in English from the University of  Winnipeg, and has studied creative writing both there and at the Canadian Mennonite University. She is an open-water scuba diver, has studied kendo, and currently works as a paramedic. You can check out her website (and Fall Festival post) here !  Autumn in Myth: The Life and Death Cycles I’m a linear thinker – I like going from cause to effect in a straight-forward, logical sense. I don’t normally think of the various life cycles that we see all around us in nature – the way water flows, for instance, and the flow of the seasons from one to the next. However, when I study mythology, cycles stand out. For me, these cycles have a much more in-the-hands-of-fate feeling – which is perhaps a blow to my own personal views on fate and freewill.   Regardless, this appeals to me when I’m doing research for my stories. Because my novel dealt with a combination of Norse and Celtic Mythology, I’ll ...
