Game of Thrones!

So I went shopping with the mother over the weekend, and found that whilst I have been away at university, a Foyles has opened up! Well once I spotted it I ran into it, and may have gone a little crazy! I had recently managed to watch the tv adaptation of Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin, so when I saw that the books were on 3 for 2 I went for it! I had wanted to read them for a long time so I think this was a justifiable purchase!

I only got the first three in the series, as I have the Hush Hush series to re-read as well as other books coming out, so it will keep me going until christmas when my mum is getting my the rest of the books! Below are the covers of the books as some people apparently get confused by this series!

1.  A Game of Thrones

2. A Clash of Kings

3. A Storm of Swords 1: Steel And Snow

The rest of the books in the series are called: A Storm of Swords 2: Blood And Gold, A Feast For Crows, A Dance With Dragons 1: Dreams And Dust, A Dance With Dragons 2: After The Feast.

Thought I would just share with you guys my favourite character in the tv series (and probably the books as apparently they have stayed quite true to them). So my favourite character is Daenerys Targaryen.

Bye for now :).

Obsidian Review!


'Starting over sucks.
When we first moved to West Virginia right before my senior year, i'd pretty much resigned myself to thick accents, dodgy internet access, and a whole lot of boring.... until I spotted my hot neighbour, with his looming height and eerie green eyes. Things Were looking up.
And then he opened his mouth.
Daemon is infuriating. Arrogant. Stab-worthy. We do not get along. At all. But when a stranger attacks me and Daemon literally freezes time with a wave of his hand, well, something... unexpected happens.
The hot alien living next door marks me.
You heard me. Alien. Turns out Daemon and his sister have a galaxy of enemies wanting to steal their abilities, and Daemon's touch has me lit up like the vegas strip. The only way i'm getting out of this is by sticking close to Daemon until my alien mojo fades. 
If I don't kill him first, that is.'


First off this is the first book I read by the fantastic Jennifer L. Armentrout, and was one of the novels that made her one of my favourite authors. 

So aliens. When I first found this book I was a bit dubious about getting it as I have never really gotten into alien books. But oh was this book a whole different story! I love it! Obsidian is one of the best books I have read in a while, and it contains what we all love, the hot boy with terrible attitude ;). 

The lead character, Katy, is truly a fantastic one! We will all be able to really relate to her, as she is just like us, (she even blogs guys!), so it makes the story feel even more real........ even Daemon. If only I were so lucky!

This story isn't lacking in other great characters either, which makes it even better! Not only do we have Daemon and Katy, but we have the whole little alien gang! Yes some of them we aren't supposed to like, but I still thought they were amazing characters, even if some were anti Katy.  We also have the rest of the human gang, which definitely make their stamp on the story. (Not really sure why I have made them gangs but oh well!). 

Lastly the plot. A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. That pretty much covers it! It was such an interesting plot, which kept me interested the whole way through the book, and yes I mean it, not once did I find myself getting bored! When the story did slow down a bit, you had the sexy fights between Katy and Daemon to keep you engrossed! This is a refreshing change from some of the books I have read lately that just had me loosing concentration and wandering off to do something else instead!

If you love a book filled with sexy scenes, action scenes and scenes that will have you laughing really hard, then this is definitely a book for you! So go buy it guys!

Waiting on Wednesday!

Today I thought I would post about some books that I am very excited for! I picked three of some of the many books that I am waiting for to be released.

1. Finale - Becca Fitzpatrick (The final book in the Hush Hush series)

I have been waiting a long time for this book and I am very excited that the release date is just over a month away, and of course I have it pre-ordered. I fell in love with this series instantly (I am a huge lover of the whole fallen angel thing), and although I am sad to see it ending, I can't wait to see what is going to happen in the last instalment.

2. Opal - Jennifer L. Armentrout (The third book in the Lux series)

I only found the Lux series by Jennifer, recently over this past summer, as I had a lot of time to read. It is a compelling series and is the first series/ novel about aliens that I have managed to be completely sucked into! It sucks that the release date is in December, making a long wait compared to the matter of minutes I had to wait between the first two Lux books. I know it will be well worth the wait though! (There is also a countdown to this release on here!)

3. Deity - Jennifer L. Armentrout (The third book in the Covenant series)

Much the same as with the Lux series, I only found the Covenant series this summer (yes I had that much spare time this summer). I really do like this series, and apparently Jennifer L. Armentrout can do no wrong! This book is released in November, and although its a little bit of a wait, I am truly very excited. (There is also a countdown to this release on here!)



I am so excited about these books coming out that at the moment I cant concentrate properly on many other books! Thankfully these books are due for release over the next three months (October, November and December) so I wont be lacking on things to read over the next few months! Keep an eye out over this time as I will probably review some of all of these books once I have read them!

Bye for now :)

24 Hour Binge Read!

So I completely forgot to post my 'Waiting on Wednesday' post yesterday as I was far too into reading, and apparently the real world didn't matter that much! Because of this im going to save that post for next week because waiting on thursday does not quite have the same ring to it!

I thought in this post I could let you guys know the books (yes plural) I have read in the last 24hours! So I started reading the novella 'Leif' in the existence trilogy, by Abbi Glines, that I mentioned in my 'In My Mailbox' post, and got about half-way though and realised I wasn't really in the mood to read it! Now I had a problem, I wanted to read but had nothing to read, so naturally I attacked Amazon.


1. Tempting The Best Man - J. Lynn


The first book I completed in my 24 hour binge read and it was written by the very talented Jennifer L. Armentrout, and yes some may be wondering why I wrote J. Lynn above, but it is because she uses the name J. Lynn when she is writing adult romances. It was very easy to read and I finished it in one night!

2. Ceaseless - Abbi Glines


The second book I completed in my 24 hour binger read was the last in the Existence trilogy, and boy was it worth waiting for! I started reading it this morning and finished this afternoon!

This was a bit of a random post and im sorry guys! I will try to remember to do some more interesting posts on time in the future! Keep posted for some more reviews coming your way very soon!

Bye for now :)

In My Mailbox!

So guys thanks to my 20th birthday and a very nicely timed student loan, I managed to get a few books ordered! Some have Arrived and some haven't as of yet! I thought I would share with you the ones that have arrived, and that I may have read already!

First off the books that actually arrived are all from the same trilogy, which I thought sounded quite good on amazon!

1. Existence - Abbi Glines

I loved Existence so much that I read it the night that it actually arrived! I think I went to bed at about 5 in the morning, I was that drawn into the book! That lead me to wanting to carry on the trilogy right away so when the next book arrived I dived right in!

2. Predestined - Abbi Glines

This was the second book in the Existence series and I started reading as soon as I finished Existence. This one took me a little longer as I had things that I needed to do, but it was a great book to carry on the trilogy.

3. Leif - Abbi Glines

This book is 2.5 from the trilogy, so basically a novella! I am yet to start reading this book, but I definitely will do soon.

So far these are the only books that have actually arrived, even the last in this trilogy hasn't! I will probably do a proper review on these books or maybe on the trilogy as a whole once I read them all, as well as more In My Mailbox posts when the rest arrive, so keep your eyes peeled!

Bye for now :)

City of Bones Review!

I thought it was about time that I actually posted a review for you guys, but if it is a bit short I apologise, it is only my first one after all! It seemed like a good idea to start off with a book that is from one of my all time favourite series, so this is City of Bones by Cassandra Clare, and it is the first in The Mortal Instruments series.


It has been a while since I first discovered City of Bones, but it sparked an undying love that made TMI my all time favourite world to step into no matter how many times I read it! Let me say now that if you are reading this review to hear about bad points of City of Bones, the you will be disappointed. This is because I seriously can't find anything bad to say about this book, especially as I have read the rest of the series (which I may review as a whole some time in the future), and you soon see that even the annoying events in this book have a reason in the bigger picture. 

'Clary Fray is seeing things: vampires in Brooklyn and werewolves in Manhattan. Irresistibly drawn towards a group of sexy demon hunters, Clary encounters the dark side of New York City - and the dangers of forbidden love.'

If your sitting there thinking 'oh great another YA book about vampires and werewolves' don't be fooled! Yes it is a book featuring the old tale of the feuding vampires and werewolves, but it is not the main focus of the book, and is told in a completely new way, with it aiding the story rather than being it. And don't worry, the vampires in this book, follow the traditional idea of vampirism, but enough of the vampires, lets get down to the Nephilim (shadowhunters or demon hunters). Nephilim are typically known for being the offspring of angels/ fallen angels and humans, but in this series they are a race made by an angel mixing his blood with a humans in a cup called 'The Mortal Cup'. 

The story line to this book is definitely captivating, and draws you in with such loveable characters (especially Clace, Sizzy and Malec, to those in the know), and it will have you both laughing and crying, which only gets more intense the further through the series you get! This is a must read book and the majority of you will fall in love with it just as I have!

This book is also in the process of being turned into a movie that is anticipated to be a big hit, staring Lily Collins as Clary Fray and Jamie Campbell Bower as Jace Wayland, and is due to be released in August 2013.  I will most definitely be the first inline to see it! 

Below is a photo of five of the main characters!
