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: November

Hey lovelies! It feels like this month has gone super quickly. I cannot believe that it's already December! Bloody hell. But, on the other hand, it's almost Christmas! I'm so excited! I love Christmas!

Okay, so onto what I actually got up to this month. I seem to have emerged out of my reading slump well enough, but I think I'm still in a bit of a blogging funk. But that's been for, like, this whole year so I don't think that really counts. I still love blogging, I just feel like I never have any ideas any more for anything that isn't a review. But, again, I have only ever really done about two discussion posts a year so I guess it's not all that big of a deal.

Book of the Month:
This is Not a Test by Courtney Summers


Yeah, it's kind of amazing how I can read that many books and still only post three reviews. And Cait, if you're reading this, please don't be offended that I didn't pick a Skulduggery book as book of the month. It would've been super hard to pick one out of the four that I've read as being the best... ;)

But yeah, I feel like November has been a pretty good month for me. Usually, I slump in November, but I think because I didn't try tackling NaNo this year like I usually do, I got round to actually reading and stuff! I also finally went to see Catching Fire, and you can see what I thought of it here. The short version is basically that it's amazing and you should go and see it now if you already haven't which, let's face it, is probably not the case.

I also went to a couple of really great events this month: the Holly Black and Sarah Rees Brennan thing at Foyles and the My Kinda Book launch party. It was really, really great to meet Holly Black who is an author that I have loved for a reallllly long time, and she was so lovely and hopefully she didn't think I was too weird so that was fun. And Sarah Rees Brennan is always brilliant and hilarious. Also, Leila Sales and Sarra Manning were at the MKB launch, and even though I didn't get to talk to Sarra, I did get to fangirl to Leila Sales about how much I loved This Song Will Save Your Life (which if you haven't read yet, read it. Now. I command you.) so that was super great. I hope that there will be some stuff on in December too because I really like seeing all of the British blogger people that are always about at the events in London.

Unfortunately, I have just gotten into Person of Interest which is kind of taking up all of my time at the minute (it's actually so good, even though I just accidentally spoiled myself about what happened in last weeks episode when I'm only on season 1). And I've got some more coursework to do, but that shouldn't get in the way too much. Not when I've still got another 3 and a half Skulduggery books to read.

So, that's enough rambling for now, I reckon... How was your month? I hope that December is great too!

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...

Book Review: Cress By Marissa Meyer & Giveaway

Waiting on Wednesday (May 14)

Waiting on Wednesday was started by Jill at  Breaking the Spine . This weekly meme shares the upcoming books that I'm most excited about. In Too Deep by Coert Voorhees   Annie Fleet, master scuba diver and history buff, knows she can’t fight her nerd status as a freshman at her Los Angeles private school.
