When nineteen-year-old huntress Feyre kills a wolf in the woods, a beast-like creature arrives to demand retribution for it. Dragged to a treacherous magical land she only knows about from legends, Feyre discovers that her captor is not an animal, but Tamlin—one of the lethal, immortal faeries who once ruled their world.
As she dwells on his estate, her feelings for Tamlin transform from icy hostility into a fiery passion that burns through every lie and warning she’s been told about the beautiful, dangerous world of the Fae. But an ancient, wicked shadow grows over the faerie lands, and Feyre must find a way to stop it . . . or doom Tamlin—and his world—forever.
Perfect for fans of Kristin Cashore and George R. R. Martin, this first book in a sexy and action-packed new series is impossible to put down!

Unfortunately, supernatural chores are never done. The Ephors have decided they’d rather train David than kill him. The catch: Harper has to come along for the ride, but she can’t stay David’s Paladin unless she undergoes an ancient trial that will either kill her . . . or connect her to David for life.

The engagement of Lady Kestrel to Valoria’s crown prince means one celebration after another. But to Kestrel it means living in a cage of her own making. As the wedding approaches, she aches to tell Arin the truth about her engagement…if she could only trust him. Yet can she even trust herself? For—unknown to Arin—Kestrel is becoming a skilled practitioner of deceit: an anonymous spy passing information to Herran, and close to uncovering a shocking secret.
As Arin enlists dangerous allies in the struggle to keep his country’s freedom, he can’t fight the suspicion that Kestrel knows more than she shows. In the end, it might not be a dagger in the dark that cuts him open, but the truth. And when that happens, Kestrel and Arin learn just how much their crimes will cost them.

9. Carry On by Rainbow Rowell

(Scheduled) Release Date: October 6, 2015

Synopsis:

Simon Snow just wants to relax and savor his last year at the Watford School of Magicks, but no one will let him. His girlfriend broke up with him, his best friend is a pest, and his mentor keeps trying to hide him away in the mountains where maybe he’ll be safe. Simon can’t even enjoy the fact that his roommate and longtime nemesis is missing, because he can’t stop worrying about the evil git. Plus there are ghosts. And vampires. And actual evil things trying to shut Simon down. When you’re the most powerful magician the world has ever known, you never get to relax and savor anything.
Carry On is a ghost story, a love story, a mystery and a melodrama. It has just as much kissing and talking as you’d expect from a Rainbow Rowell story — but far, far more monsters.

Those are all of the books I’m looking most forward to in 2015! Some of the sequels, are sequels to books that I have not read, but hope to read this year!

Good Night Book Worms!

Hey guys!

Today I’m going to do my first wrap up of 2015, for the three readathons that happend this week (Bout of Books, Biannual Bibliothon, and AYearAThon)!

This week I managed to read 2 and 1/2 books! Which I think is pretty sweet! Considering, I only read about one book a week!

I read Everything Leads To You by Nina La Cour, The Hunger Games, and half of Catching Fire!

I have to say, I’m really sad that I didn’t read the Hunger Games sooner! I got the box set last year as a holiday gift, and didn’t get a chance to read it until now!

Expect a review for both of those books (and MAYBE The Hunger Games movie review) during this week!

I hope you guys did well in the week of readathons! What readathons did you participate in? What did you read? Let me know below!
See You Guys Tommorow!

Good Night Book Worms!

Hello everyone!

Welcome to today’s Quick Thought! Normally by the second week of January, everyone is done partying and back to reading/school. Most of the time, the first book of the year can be a hard pick. Although, I’m really not sure why! Being honest, this book would just be the first book of the year, that’s all. On the other hand, I see why.

When picking your first book of the year, your going to want to chose a book that you know won’t put you in a reading slump. You want your first book to almost get you on a reading high that will make you want to read more and more!

I recommend starting a series or trilogy, this way it will get you to finish the series and add even more books to your reading goal! I’m currently reading The Maze Runner Quartet by James Dashner, and so far it’s AMAZING!

If you have any tips on picking your first book of the year, tell me below! See you guys tommorow!

Good Night Book Lions!

It turns out the Derek Smool had an abnormal DDK. It seems that his DDK was only fifty-five years. So, he was only about thirty years off. How sad it must be for his family, I wonder. He had a girlfriend and three siblings. One of them was only two years old.
The site also states, that he has been very sick since he was little. So, the doctors (thought they) gave him a good prediction. I’ve always wondered how the doctors made the predictions. Sure, for him it might have been easy as he was sick, but how did they predict me as being a long one? I guess I’ll never find out.
Through the corner of my eye, I see Jared. I quickly close the screen and put up a blog that I like reading through every once in a while. “Finally, I got my log in code, after about a month of talking to my teachers about it. I’m sure you know what I mean, let’s just say, they can be a little bit taunting and additionally annoying.” He tells me.
The bell rings, we say goodbye, and I make my way to my next class.
I find Leah and I walk upstairs to our class with her. We have language now, so this should be a pretty relaxing class. Thankfully, our teacher, Mrs. Jones let’s us talk. I take this time to talk to Leah about my discovery’s of Derek.
After telling her my research and thoughts she is in complete and utter shock. “I can’t believe that Derek had a DDK of 50 years! That must be one of the lowest DDK’s in history, or ever for that matter! I wonder how his parents felt when they heard this!” she says. I agree with her they must have been very hurt.
By the end of the day, we are all pretty tired and out of it, so our teacher lets us leave early. Thank goodness she did, as I don’t know how long I would’ve lasted.

Hi guys!

Today, on my creating a blog series, I thought I would share with you ALL of the bookish weekly memes I could find!

What is a “Weekly Meme”?

A “Weekly Meme” is a type of blog post that corresponds with the day of the week! Normally, the theme would match with the letter of that day, so if it’s Monday, the theme would start with an M.

Good Night Book Lions!

Hi everyone!

Yesterday, I discussed how to choose a theme and topic for your blog. Today, I’m going to be sharing with you a few tips on how to make your blog eye catching!

1. BRIGHT COLOURS!

Incorporate bright colours into your blog for people’s eyes to look at it even more closely! I liked the way that my theme had the colours under the top bar! I thought it was so cute!

2. Create a centre image!

A centre image is an image that catches the readers attention, even before that read a post on your blog! The centre images are mostly always at easy view, so on the top or very top side. My centre image is an owl!

3. Use a TON of pictures!

Throughout your posts you should have a variety of pictures! I’m still getting in to using pictures to enchance my post! I recommend using pictures that you have personally taken!

Those are my tips on how to make your blog eye catching!

Good Night Book Lions!
