My TBR of series

Hey!

So I'm getting really bad at adding books to my I want to read that now books! and that means I keep having to buy the next in the series!

I want to now list the some of the SERIES I have on my TBR

R.K RYALS SERIES

First lets start with the biggest collection which is the Redemption series and its 2 companion series Acropolis and Thorne Trilogy! I have read the first 3 books in the redemption series (Redemption, Ransom, and Retribution) I have also read the first 2 in the Acropolis series (Acropolis and Labyrinth) and started the Thorne Trilogy with Cursed (Then Possession and Dancing with the Devil)

I really love these books cause they are about so much and each develops of each  class, I think that's the best way to put it I mean you put Gargoyles, Demons, Nephalim and witches you are going to have a epic party full of action drama and romance! I will note that the Thorne trilogy is a New adult novel so not for the younger reader and follows witches the most. Acropolis is more about Gargoyles with demon themes which all of them seem to have! Redemption is angels and demons and Nephalim which is always a great combination in my book. I'm a fan of demon books. I like if you like paranormal and some adventure these series are a good one to pick up and I am reading them in publication order so I don't ruin too much which I think is the best idea but I think you can read each by themselves. I will say you need to like a romance type of book for these series as it is a very important part, I mean you can tell from the covers... Sorry girl I love your books not not really the covers

Official Goodreads synopsis of Redemption, the first in Dayton's:

"A fateful car accident, a strange Abbey ruled by an even stranger Abbess, an insane Demon, a world where right and wrong becomes dangerously twisted, and a confident, rebellious teenager . . . .

Dayton Blainey is a foul-mouthed, grief-stricken young woman forced to live with a religiously eccentric aunt who favors her moral older sister. But when Dayton's life becomes intertwined with a dangerous stranger, she suddenly finds herself at the center of a war fought since the beginning of time.
Trapped between what she believes is right, and a forbidden attraction, Dayton must come to terms with betrayal and her surprising lineage to stop a war before it even begins. "





Official Goodreads synopsis of Acropolis, the first in Connor's story:

""We have a new assignment for you, Mr. Reinhardt."

These words are not comforting to me. At eighteen, I am a gargoyle who has been demoted because I broke the rules. Now I have a new mission, a new mark to protect. But I don't expect Emma Chase. I don't expect to question my own race. I don't expect to care for my own mark. And I am not prepared for what I find at The Acropolis"


Official Goodreads synopsis of Cursed, the first in Monroe's story:

"A grimoire. A witch. A Demon.

Ellie Elizabeth Jacobs, often known as Monroe due to her fascination with vintage attire and old movies, is an 18 year-old witch and a darned good one! But there is also something very wrong with her. Demonic energy makes her powers stronger, she has the ability to ward off Demons, and Lucifer wants her. 

Sometimes being bad is better. Or at least that's how Luther "Thorne" Craig feels. The hybrid Demon son of the cursed Cain and the Demon Lilith, Luther is reluctantly sent to New Orleans, Louisiana by his brother, the hybrid Demon ruler of the Outer Levels of Hell, to protect Monroe from Lucifer's searching Hellhounds. 

But what happens when things go wrong?
In this riveting spin off from R.K. Ryals' Redemption series, Monroe is faced with an old grimoire, an ancient curse, and a journey to discover a family secret that may surprise them all."





THE RAVEN BOYS

Another series that I am working on is The Raven boys by Maggie Stiefvater, now this series is so awesome the writing is just so great! I love the way she makes the story at at first I had no clue what was going on but I liked that, I would totally recommend going into these books not knowing exactly what they are about because exploring that is so amazing and eye opening. One of my favourite sections is at the beginning of Dream Thieves, the second book, where it talks about secrets and that light bulb just went off in my head and I was like yes exactly!. The characters are great and funny yet so different from what I normally read it has been a breath of fresh air reading this series and I can't wait to move on to the next book

Official Goodreads synopsis of The Raven Boys, the first in the quartet


"“There are only two reasons a non-seer would see a spirit on St. Mark’s Eve,” Neeve said. “Either you’re his true love . . . or you killed him.”

It is freezing in the churchyard, even before the dead arrive.

Every year, Blue Sargent stands next to her clairvoyant mother as the soon-to-be dead walk past. Blue herself never sees them—not until this year, when a boy emerges from the dark and speaks directly to her.

His name is Gansey, and Blue soon discovers that he is a rich student at Aglionby, the local private school. Blue has a policy of staying away from Aglionby boys. Known as Raven Boys, they can only mean trouble.

But Blue is drawn to Gansey, in a way she can't entirely explain. He has it all—family money, good looks, devoted friends—but he’s looking for much more than that. He is on a quest that has encompassed three other Raven Boys: Adam, the scholarship student who resents all the privilege around him; Ronan, the fierce soul who ranges from anger to despair; and Noah, the taciturn watcher of the four, who notices many things but says very little.

For as long as she can remember, Blue has been warned that she will cause her true love to die. She never thought this would be a problem. But now, as her life becomes caught up in the strange and sinister world of the Raven Boys, she’s not so sure anymore."



I will be doing a new blog on the book series I hope to start and stand alones that are on my TBR soon, so stay tuned for that!

Hope you are doing well and have a great day!
Peace : )

THE GREAT HUNT

Hey!

So we finally got the cover of Wendy Higgins new book THE GREAT HUNT and I really like its sort of whimsical and it brings up a lot of questions as to what the story is really about. I love how authors get really excited about there books and reading Wendy's thoughts of what it is about makes me excited too

The official synopsis:

"Kill the beast. Win the girl. 

A strange beast stirs fear in the kingdom of Lochlanach, terrorizing towns with its brutality and hunger. In an act of desperation, a proclamation is sent to all of Eurona—kill the creature and win the ultimate prize: the daughter of King Lochson’s hand in marriage. 

Princess Aerity understands her duty to the kingdom though it pains her to imagine marrying a stranger. It would be foolish to set her sights on any particular man in the great hunt, but when a brooding local hunter, Paxton Seabolt, catches her attention, there’s no denying the unspoken lure between them…or his mysterious resentment. 

Paxton is not keen on marriage. Nor does he care much for spoiled royals and their arcane laws. He’s determined to keep his focus on the task at hand—ridding the kingdom of the beast and protecting his family—yet Princess Aerity continues to challenge his notions with her unpredictability and charm. But as past secrets collide with present desires, dire choices threaten everything Paxton holds dear. 

Inspired by the Grimm Brothers’ tale, “The Singing Bone,” New York Times bestselling author Wendy Higgins delivers a dark fantasy filled with rugged hunters, romantic tension, outlawed magic, and a princess willing to risk all to save her people."

The story is told in 3rd person from a number of different characters point of views, I do like these kinds of stories but sometimes they can go a little cray cray so I'm hoping this will so it right and I have all the faith! Love this authors writing, the sweet triology which I read this year has become one of my favourites its just so cute!

Here is the cover guys!

Also do check out her other series The Sweet Trilogy as the new book well a companion novel of all the original trilogy told from Kaidan's point of view and oh boy I sigh for Kai! It comes out in like 72 days!

Hope you guys are doing well and have a great day
Peace : )

Degrassi will always live on!

Hey!

One of my favourite shows is finishing Degrassi: The Next Generation, I was so sad to see this show ending! This show could go on for like ever, so I was super excited to find out later that it had been picked up by Netflix to create Degrassi: Next Class! I was worried that I won't see what would happen to Maya, Zig and all that crazy lot that weren't graduating but I really do hope that they bring in some of the older cast at time I mean Spinner is still sometimes popping up even now when he graduated ages ago and even got married!.

So I want to list 5 of my all time favourite characters from Degrassi: The Next Generation... And these are in no particular order and there are so many more I like but I think 5 is a good start so I'm not blogging forever!

NUMBER 5 is Maya Matlin played by Olivia Scriven

She is a more new character and will be continuing on in the new degrassi, one of the things I have liked about her is how much she has to go through in Degrassi. She has some really hard hitting story lines and it has been really cool to watch her grow from a very naive girl to someone to knows her self better and she had to go through those times to become a stronger person. I will admit at times she does get a little annoying but overall I really do like her as a character and can't wait to see her story continue. I'm still a huge fan of her and Cam just saying oh the feels! But love her with Zig too there friendship is really awesome to watch no matter what they got each others back. I feel like sometimes she is a new Manny, even though you can't beat the original its cool to see a character like that come back.


NUMBER 4 is Clare Edwards and Alli Bhandari played by Aislinn Paul and Melinda Shankar


I know there is both but they go so well together I couldn't  have one without the other! These two have one of the best friendships in the show and I love how different they are but how well they just understand and have each others back. It makes me think of my best friend, and the story lines they go through separately make them such strong characters. Alli coming from a traditional Indian family, and goes through the whole rebellious teen especially with boys! But through all the drama she becomes such a better person, yes she still makes mistakes but she is a smart cookie and can go so far. Clare started off as the classic nerd, she is smart and was shy but she learnt to let go eventually even though she does come off a little stuck up.  She has been through more physically than Alli and its awesome to see her change into a beautiful butterfly, I would say she has made one of the biggest transformations throughout the show. I love her relationship with Eli I ship it completely and I even ship Alli and Dallas, I can't wait to see how these characters stories will end this season


NUMBER 3 is Eli Goldsworthy played by Munro Chambers

He was such a random character and in the beginning I loved him for his emo goth looks and attitude I mean come on he drove a hearse! He has had some story lines which I can relate to and he suffers from bipolar disorder but it makes him who he is and makes his story so much more real. He is now more easy going and calm but definitely not at the start he came in with a bang and I was sad to see him graduate. I LOVE him and Clare together its just so perfect even though they go through so many ups and downs together they always seem to find each other. I'm really excited to see what the final season has for these too but also for Eli where he needs to finally fully grow up and take responsibility for whats going on around him and be who he can really be. He can be so cool an so different and I like the way he is, dark yet has been through a lot to come out the other side okay, I really relate to his struggles and find him one of my favourite characters.


NUMBER 2 is Manny Santos and Emma Nelson played by Cassie Steele and Miriam McDonald

Again 2 but these two just go together so much that I couldn't not have them together in this countdown. One thing I like about these 2 characters is we see them from the start, the very first episode and I love there friendship!. They are so different and change so much throughout the series that I really admire what they have been through and they are really relatable as the story lines that they went through were. Manny has such a strict family and she just wants to be her own person, she is very naive at the beginning but rebels against her family much in the same way Alli did later on in the series. She finds boys and that gets her into a bit of trouble but she learns from these mistakes and becomes a better person especially the challenges. Emma was the classic good girl environmentalist and then this began to change where she learnt more about the world around her which made her have some questionable choices but by the end she seemed to have it together and yo she did get together with another of my favourite characters!. I like that even though these 2 fought a lot and weren't friends all the time finding there own paths they always cam back together.


NUMBER 1 is Gavin 'Spinner' Mason played by Shane Kippel

He was there from the beginning and I loved him from the beginning, he was funny and at times a little stupid but he gave the cast something different! There isn't a character like him, plus he even still appears in the show now even after graduating Degrassi which I love. He has been through a lot of change over the seasons going from having heaps of friends to being an outsider and having to deal with the repercussions of his actions. He also had a hard story line involving cancer which I really liked to see him from a different side. Yet through everything he always has a smile and a funny way of dealing with it. I did love his long term relationship with Jane, but was glad the way that termed out, I started off shipping it but then it just got eh for me. Spinner is a great guy, sure he isn't always the first to realise things but he gets there in the end and has a really good heart. He loves his friends and even through there ups and downs will look out for them like his friendship with Jimmy which I really liked as they were so different but Jimmy was always there for him in the end and it was cool seeing him grow. One of my all time favourites forever!

There are heaps more I could talk about who have had amazing story line that opened my eyes and made it easy to relate to issues going on. I will always love the show no matter how old I get and I hope it can keep going on for a little bit longer with Netflix

I hope you are doing well and have a great day
Peace : )

Some exciting teasers for some exciting books!

Hey!

There are so many amazing books coming out this year, and I am super excited!

One book that has been getting a lot of buzz and it comes out very soon, June 16th is SCORCHED by the always amazing Jennifer L Armentrout. It sounds really good and eye opening, that's one of the reasons I love her writing is because she will go to all those places and make a fascinating but also insightful story. I have read a lot of her more fantasy paranormal books and would love to jump into this series which is contemporary and I believe it is new adult too. The story is so relatable just by reading the synopsis and I think I really can understand some of the themes of this novel. It is the 2nd in a series but its about different main characters, the first in the series being Frigid.

Here is the synopsis of Scorched from Goodreads


"Sometimes life leaves a mark…

Most days, Andrea doesn’t know whether she wants to kiss Tanner or punch him in the gut. He is seriously hot, with legit bedroom eyes and that firefighter body of his, but he’s a major player, and they can’t get along for more than a handful of minutes. Until now.

Tanner knows he and Andrea have had an epic love/hate relationship for as long as he can remember, but he wants more love than hate from her. He wants her. Now. Tomorrow. But the more he gets to know her, the more it becomes obvious that Andrea has a problem. She’s teetering on the edge and every time he tries to catch her, she slips through his fingers.

Andrea’s life is spiraling out of control, and it doesn’t matter that Tanner wants to save her, because when everything falls apart and she’s speeding toward rock bottom, only she can save herself.

Sometimes life makes you work for that happily ever after…"

And here is a awesome teaser image!

This is from Jennifer L Armentrout's Blog

Also another book I'm really excited about is SWEET TEMPTATION by Wendy Higgins, which just released another teaser image as it's only 3 months till release and you better believe I'm excited!

I have posted heaps about this book before, it is a follow on book for her Sweet Evil Triology where the story is a bunch of scenes from the original trilogy but told from the sexy rocker Kaidan's point of view!

So what am I waiting for here is the teaser image done by the lovely artist Jennifer Munswami with J.M. Rising Horse Creations for this graphic.


And if you US people are interested in getting a signed copy and some swag check out Wendy Higgins blog for some details, wish I was in the US

I am excited about so many books this year I just can't wait, what are you guys excited for? I always am looking for new books

Hope you are doing well and have a great day
Peace : )

Ebooks I got for free! Sharing the love, and find out some new titles!

Hey!

I hope you are all doing well, today I want to talk about what books I have been buying lately
I have been good and not got too many but have also been finding free ebooks from Benjaminoftomes, he is a youtuber and he does a segment called free book Friday. The cool thing about it is a lot of the time they are authors that I don't know very well and its great to get to read books you wouldn't normally pick up!

Here are the free books I have found : )

Alone by Robert J. Crane

I got these from Amazon, the first 3 books in the series were free  however now having done a little bit of research I'm not so sure, I have heard that there is so very adult content and is not for younger reader.

Here is the Goodreads Synopsis:
“Sienna Nealon was a 17 year-old girl who had been held prisoner in her own house by her mother for twelve years. Then one day her mother vanished, and Sienna woke up to find two strange men in her home. On the run, unsure of who to turn to and discovering she possesses mysterious powers, Sienna finds herself pursued by a shadowy agency known as the Directorate and hunted by a vicious, bloodthirsty psychopath named Wolfe, each of which is determined to capture her for their own purposes...”


Bound By Prophecy by Melissa Wright

I have read this book now and I did find it rather confusing at times, but the idea of it sounded really cool and I would be willing to continue the series, there is some cool action and interesting powers. The first book was free from Amazon and I think maybe I will get better after the first book

Here is the Goodreads Synopsis:
“Twenty-two-year-old Aern is done watching his brother destroy the only thing that matters. He never wanted to take Morgan’s place among council, never wanted to rule their hidden world. But when the key to the prophecy is found, a young girl named Brianna whom Morgan will destroy, Aern knows he has to take action.

What he really wants, is for things to go back to normal. But now he’s kidnapped a girl, and his brother’s men are after him. His only hope is to join with the Division, but they have plans of their own, and it’s the last thing Aern is willing to do.
Emily just wants her sister back. She doesn't care about the prophecy, or realize what’s at stake. But when she goes after Aern, the truth of the matter uncoils, and Brianna isn't the only one who’s in danger.

Suddenly, they’re at the center of a secret war, and unless they can work together, they’ll both have a sacrifice too big to make.”


Six Moon Summer by S.M. Reine

I haven't read very many werewolf specific books and I saw this for free on Amazon and thought why not! I like werewolves in other paranormal stories so I'm hoping that this will be a place to start.

Here is the Goodreads synopsis:
“Rylie's been bitten.

She's changing.

And now she has three months to find a cure before becoming a werewolf... forever.

Rylie Gresham hates everything about summer camp: the food, the fresh air, the dumb activities, and the other girls in her cabin. But the worst part is probably being bitten by a werewolf. Being a teenager is hard enough, but now she's craving raw flesh and struggles with uncontrollable anger. If she doesn't figure out a way to stop the transformation, then at the end of summer, her life is worse than over. She'll be a monster.”

Faelorehn by Jenna Elizabeth Johnson

Amazon told me about this books and that's where I got it for on my kindle like all of these other books.  I do love a good fey type book so I am excited a little to see what its all about and give it a go. Sorry to say but not a fan of the cover it could be so much better

Here is the Goodreads synopsis:
“I never heard him come after me and even as I climbed the slope and stumbled onto our shaded back lawn, I didn’t look back. It was like the day the gnomes chased me all over again, but this time I was not escaping some horrible little creatures, I was fleeing from an incredibly good-looking guy who could very well understand me completely. I was either saving myself from that serial killer I always imagined lived down in the swamp, or I had finally gone over the deep end . . . 

Meghan Elam has been strange her entire life: her eyes have this odd habit of changing color and she sees and hears things no one else does. When the visions and voices in her head start to get worse, she is convinced that her parents will want to drag her off to another psychiatrist. That is, until the mysterious Cade MacRoich shows up out of nowhere with an explanation of his own. 

Cade brings her news of another realm where goblins and gnomes are the norm, a place where whispering spirits exist in the very earth, and a world where Meghan just might find the answers she has always sought”

The Rest Falls Away by Colleen Gleason

I love a good vampire book and back when I first started reading more YA a lot of that was vampire books, however this seems to be from the hunter side so I think it will be a good change for me to spread my vampire reading wings and see more!

Here is the Goodreads synopsis:
“Beneath the glitter of dazzling 19th-century London Society lurks a bloodthirsty evil...

In every generation, a Gardella is called to accept the family legacy of hunting vampires, and this time, Victoria Gardella Grantworth is chosen, on the eve of her debut, to carry the stake.”

Redemption by R.K. Ryals

This book seemed kinda different and why I wanted to give it a go, it seems like it might be a Angels and Demons type of book but I will wait and till I read it to really see. I have high hopes for this book and can't wait to read it

Here is the Goodreads synopsis:
“A fateful car accident, a strange Abbey ruled by an even stranger Abbess, an insane Demon, a world where right and wrong becomes dangerously twisted, and a confident, rebellious teenager . . . .

Dayton Blainey is a foul-mouthed, grief-stricken young woman forced to live with a religiously eccentric aunt who favors her moral older sister. But when Dayton's life becomes intertwined with a dangerous stranger, she suddenly finds herself at the center of a war fought since the beginning of time. 

Trapped between what she believes is right, and a forbidden attraction, Dayton must come to terms with betrayal and her surprising lineage to stop a war before it even begins. “

Sacrifice Me: Season 1 by Sarra Cannon

I first found Sarra cannon when I read the Peachville demons series which I also got for free and have talked about a lot in my past blogs. This is a cool world of magic and witchcraft and I'm excited to see a more adult take on the world as the main character is older than in the PHD series.

Here is the Goodreads synopsis:
“On her twenty-first birthday, Franki Smith receives a dozen black roses and an unsigned invitation to a nightclub. Two handwritten words near the top haunt her. "Little Bird." Her mother's nickname for her. 

Only, Franki's mother disappeared without a trace exactly three years ago to the day. 

And the nightclub doesn’t seem to exist. 

Who sent the dark gift? Franki's need to answer this question leads her to the doorway of a strange and glamorous new world. A world her mother went to great lengths to keep hidden. 

A world someone desperately wants Franki to discover, where forbidden romance and dangerous truths await. “

Darkness of Light by Stacey Marie Brown

I was really excited when I first heard the synopsis of this series and the extra kick I needed was when I saw Benjaminoftomes talking about it. I have read all four books now and hope to do a review of them, I loved the world and characters can't wait to pick up her new series. Not for the younger audience I must say very mature audience needed its way more new adult than young adult!

Here is the Goodreads synopsis:
“ Freak. Witch. Crazy. Schizo.

Ember Brycin has been called them all. She’s always known she’s different. No one has ever called her normal, even under the best circumstances. Bizarre and inexplicable things continually happen to her, and having two different colored eyes, strange hair, and an unusual tattoo only contributes to the gossip about her.

When the latest school explosion lands her in a facility for troubled teens, she meets Eli Dragen, who’s hot as hell and darkly mysterious. Their connection is full of passion, danger, and secrets. Secrets that will not only change her life, but what and who she is—leading her down a path she never imagined possible.

Between Light and Dark, Ember finds a world where truth and knowledge are power and no one can be trusted. But her survival depends on finding out the truth about herself. In her pursuit, she is forced between love and destiny and good and evil, even when the differences between them aren’t always clear. At worst, she will incite a war that could destroy both worlds. At best, she will not only lose her heart but her life and everyone she loves. Once the truth is out, however, there will be no going back. And she’ll definitely wish she could.”

If anyone has more recommendations let me know, I need all the books!

Have a great day and hope your doing well
Peace : )

STEADFAST BY CLAUDIA GRAY REVIEW!

Hey!

I'm continuing with the Spellcaster series by reviewing the second book STEADFAST! Please not if you haven't read the first book you may not want to spoil yourself by reading this review

Steadfast By Claudia Gray


Yeah that's ma girl Verlaine!

Series: Spellcaster Series #2

Published: March 4th 2014 by Harper Teen

Genre: Young Adult Paranormal

Goodreads Synopsis: 
"Nadia, Mateo, and Verlaine have saved Captive's Sound from the dark Sorceress Elizabeth...or so they thought. Despite their best efforts, a crack opened and a new, greater evil seeped through. With Mateo as her Steadfast, Nadia's magic is magnified and she is more powerful than ever. But there is still so much she doesn't know about the craft, leaving her open and vulnerable to a darker magic...which has begun to call Nadia's name."

You can find out more HERE





My Thoughts (As non spoilery as I can)

This second novel in the Spellcaster series follows the crazy events at the end of the first book where they are still trying to find out Elizabeth's plan... thinking she was dead they realise the fight has just began! Elizabeth wants to train Nadia as she doesn't have anyone to teacher her magic, but Elizabeth has her own plans to get Nadia to swear herself to the One Beneath. Also enter a new character by the name of Asa who catches the eye of Nadia's best friend and member of the team trying to stop Elizabeth Verlaine. We also find out that there is magic around Verlaine stopping her from being loved but with this new version of someone in town maybe there is more going on...

I do like that we get to see the prospective of not just the 3 main characters but also the villain and her minion, my only issue with it was how fast sometimes they changed, one minute it was Nadia for a could pages them you would get a whole chapter from Mateo...

The relationship between Mateo and Nadia is so cute! I love the way that they feed off each other not just in there relationship but obviously for Nadia as he is her Steadfast so she can use him for her magic. I like that they make each other stronger and it wasn't overly done either it wasn't the main focus of the story which I really liked. And hearing from Mateo's head helped to understand someone his story same with Nadia. I was happy to not only learn about them together but to learn more about them separately and how each of there worlds work.
I was beyond happy to get more info about my main girl Verlaine! she is such a fun character and so easy to relate you, I hate that she has to deal with not being able to be loved but the times when Nadia or Mateo glimpse at her and see her for real made me happy and all soppy! I love how sarcastic she is, she makes such a good contrast with the seriousness and determination that you get from Nadia and Mateo. Plus not going to lie love her back and forth with Asa its so funny and they has such different values but are so a like I hope to see her story evolve more in the final book. Her sub plot was great and made the book flow as it wasn't all about Elizabeth.

I love her as a villain though, Elizabeth is great! She is evil and she knows it but she doesn't care, I liked to see her POV and start to understand her a little bit more plus how her magic works. Now that she is so close to getting her goal it will be cool to see where Claudia Gray takes her from here.
New guy Asa is such a breath of fresh air! I love what he adds to the story as he is so sarcastic and arrogant, he makes the story lighter at times and makes it not seem so serious all the time.

I get that it is a big deal the story but I wish it was just a little bit more lighthearted at times, given the reader more happy moments to balance the story a little bit more. One thing I love about this series though is the magic system, and seeing it so much more in this book makes me love it even more! The way they use memories and different stones to make these spells its so different from other stories and I think one of the reasons why this series is so unique. Learning more about the magic world that Nadia is in made a lot of blocks fall into place that were missing from the first book and I felt like I could understand it all more after this one.

I'm interested and nervous on how this series will end, I have some ideas but with Claudia Gray's books you never really know whats going to happen like in the Evernight series or even about Nadia's lineage... I just hope that it will be action packed with a great story and a good end. I have faith that this will be good and I can't wait to pick up my next Claudia Gray book... I'm thinking A thousand Pieces of you that cover guys is beautiful!

I give this book a 3.75, it was a good read and made a lot of things fall into place but some of the characters did frustrate me a little bit and the POV's even though I did enjoy them were also a little frustrating, Sorry Claudia Gray still love your books girl!



Thanks for reading my review! and stay tuned for more things I hope to do some more reviews maybe even some other blogs!

I hope your doing well and have a great day
Peace : )

Confessions Of Gerogia Nicolson Series Review!

Hey!
Number 1

One of my favourite series I think I have ever read would be The Confessions of Georgia Nicolson, now I know I'm older now but these books still hold a special place in my heart and on my bookshelf!.


These amazing books are written by the lovely Louise Rennison! And she even made a sort of spin off series about Georgia’s cousin Tallulah (The Misadventures of Tallulah Casey).

This series follows Georgia as she navigates growing up, from embarrassing parents, crazy friends and encountering boys! Goodreads official synopsis for the first book

About Georgia's cousin
“There are six things very wrong with my life:

1. I have one of those under-the-skin spots that will never come to a head but lurk in a red way for the next two years.

2. It is on my nose

3. I have a three-year-old sister who may have peed somewhere in my room.

4. In fourteen days the summer hols will be over and then it will be back to Stalag 14 and Oberfuhrer Frau Simpson and her bunch of sadistic teachers.

5. I am very ugly and need to go into an ugly home.

6. I went to a party dressed as a stuffed olive.

In this wildly funny journal of a year in the life of Georgia Nicolson, British author Louise Rennison has perfectly captured the soaring joys and bottomless angst of being a teenager. In the spirit of Bridget Jones's Diary, this fresh, irreverent, and simply hilarious book will leave you laughing out loud. As Georgia would say, it's "Fabbity fab fab!"

You can tell right from the start that this book is bonkers and you will love it! I would recommend this for young girls to old woman, the humour is laugh out loud funny and the drama is totally relatable even when you're older, I get that “Preach to the chore Georgia” thoughts when I read it because we have all been there!

 The first in the series is Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal snogging, this starts with Georgia about the age of 14 so it’s a great read to help girls just coming into high school to have a book that understands what they are going through and give them a funny way to see it play out

The next books in the series are It's OK, I'm wearing really big knickers, Knocked out by my nunga-nungas, dancing in the Nuddy-Pants, …And that’s when it fell off in my hand, …Then he ate my Boy Entrancers, Startled by his furry shorts, Luuurve is a Many trousered thing, Stop in the Name of Pants and Finally Are these My Basoomas I see Before Me?. Do note these are the UK Titles as that is what I own a couple of the books names were changed to try be better in the US market so if you want to read them and you're in the US just look up the other names.
So that’s 10 books in all and they are all worth it, I have re-read this series more than any other because when you're in the mood for something contemporary and happy these always make me feel better plus they are such quick reads!

I do have not note she isn't that fond of my beautiful homeland New Zealand but I will forgive her for this as it is just misunderstanding of its coolness and plus she has other things to worry about like boy entrancers and boys and friends and more boys.

She does have a pretty bonkers (Crazy) family with a mum who is all in Georgia's business and trying to be cool and hip, so does her dad but it's great to see that there are moments where Georgia understands her parents and they even give her some advice. She has a crazy sister too called Libby, who is about 3 -4 in most of the books she like all toddlers has that sneaky streak and she likes to dress there cat up in clothes! Her cat Angus is a god, the story lines also involve him and he is very funny, part Scottish wild cat so creates for some very funny moments, like when he ate his lead...

There has to be a set of BFFs and in this series they are called the Ace Gang, its made up of the leader Georgia, Jas Rosie, Ellen, Jools and Mabs.
I love the relationships that she has with her Ace Gang, especially Jas who is her best friend, they tell each other everything and even though she is close with all of the girls  in the Ace Gang Jas is her BFF. But it's so realistic like how you get annoyed at each other but just can't stay mad for too long and how they talk to each other about all the things to worry about, make up boys. I will stay this book is rather girly but it's great to see all of the characters grow up through all the novels.

There is also some lovely sex god boys that the girls, Tom, Robbie, Dave The Laugh, Sven and many more but I don't want to spoil the funny adventures of Georgia and her friends. But lets say it involves a whelk boy and a guy with a big gob

I totally agree with the Goodreads it’s like a young version of Bridget Jones, and I love the imagination that Louise Rennison puts into these books, from the new words, crazy dances to the having the hump scale it's lighthearted and just fun!And find out where you are on the snogging scale ; ). I would love for her to revisit this series later and maybe create an older Georgia dealing with more grown up situations, I love this story and love these characters!

I highly recommend these books to every one of all ages!, one of my favourite authors forever I give this series 5 stars!

I hope you're doing well and have a great day
Peace : )
