Just...What. The. Hell.

Here's the diddly doodly yo. I am so upset with this book right now, it's ridiculous. I'm about 216 pages through "Underworld" and I want to throw it across the room and cry. Because of how upset it's making me.

First: John! Get your head out of your ass. Yes! We get it, you thought Pierce wasn't going to like you anymore because you started mutiny and killed a guy. Big woop! You've tried to kill, like, three guys in front of her before. One you did kill, made his heart stop. Did you think she was going to be shocked that you just so happened to have actually killed another guy? No! Henceforth, why she asked, "Just one?" Stop being so paranoid and take a risk. Sure, the last risk you took left you out at sea to die, but, hey, you're now a Death Deity, and you have Pierce, now please stop whining.

Second: Pierce, girl, you need to stop whining all the time. Yes, we understand that you're sad about your mom and your uncle Chris, and you're even more upset about your infuriating Grandmother, who just so happens to be possessed by a Fury. We get it. This premise has been dragged through the mud, hug out to dry and then thrown into the mud again. There are so many sentence variations and non-variations on how she wishes she could talk to her mother again and say goodbye to her, but, honey, you made the decision to not talk to or see them again as soon as you went to the Underworld willingly this time. The consequences were there and I'm sorry but she knew.

Third: Frank. Enough said.

Fourth: My Goodreads app took a shit and I had to delete and re-download it onto my phone. >:[

Very frustrating things happening, I tell you. I just wish that frustrating things would stop happening. Oh and update on that guy, he's finally stopped his man-period, but now he just won't text me. Like, WTF? I'm over it, I'm just glad that I'm on break and I get to go to a bonfire on Saturday with my friends. Can't wait to smell like fire and marshmallows !! :)

I'm not sure if you guys are into these fandoms, but I hope you enjoy these peoples' comments nonetheless. :) Enjoy.

I shall review some more tomorrow. I may or may not update Saturday, so don't expect one to be up then. If it is, then fantastic. :)

Until next time,

My Real World

I know I don't usually, if ever, talk about my personal life on here, but right now I need to.

So, there's this guy who I thought liked me, and he would flirt with me, and sometimes not, you know the hot and cold shit. I guess he's decided to just fuck off and not do anything about it, he's being a huge pain in my ass right now, to the core. I want to just slap him. Apparently, if I don't spend 24/7 with the guy he has a shit fit. Whatever. Sorry about that, I kind of just had to get it off my chest.

Now time for Review: This new character that has now come across the board, Mike is kind of an ass but kind of not (a little but like my situation). I just wish they would get on with the story and try to help Alex already. Yes, they're trying to avoid being seen for fear that people will either think she's a ghost or that she's escaped from being kidnapped and she's back. Yeah, don't really want either of those.

I hope you sort of enjoyed this, and sorry, again, for the rant. He was sweet and then the asshat of a guy really came out.

Until next time,

Real World Pt. 2

Mr. Smith is getting on my last nerve. It's like he's trying to convince Pierce and John to break up with the other. It's ridiculous. I feel as though he's being majorly obtuse. I don't see what's so wrong with her being with John, and as John clearly pointed out, there's no rhyme or reason they can't be together anymore now that the whole island and town thinks that she's either dead or missing or both. It would be very pointless to bring her back into society, seeing as they think John's her captor, and most people believe she's dead. Just saying. I understand where he's coming from in not wanting to believe the things that are being said to him about Pierce's grandmother, and about what she did to Pierce, but I mean, come on. You are friends with a Death Deity, whose more on the God side. Really, you can't believe what they're telling you?

Just Ugh!

New Update: I'm probably going to my local public library tomorrow and getting out more books. I have a ten-day long break coming up so I'll get to read!!! And paint, I'm doing a narrative self-potrait. Fun, fun, fun.
I'll try and post a picture of the books, just for the hell of it. :)

Enjoy! :) Because it's so true.

Real World

I'm about 107 pages into "Underworld," but I'm getting frustrated again. See they've finally come up to the real world and everyone thinks that Pierce is either dead or missing. Not to mention the fact that Mr. Smith, the cemetery sexton, is kind of an ass. Sure, he's afraid of John, but there's something about him I don't like. He's being disapproving for no reason. Pierce is trying to explain things to him and he's being extremely obtuse. I think the crew members might be growing on me though. All except for Frank. He will more than probably irritate me to the ends of the earth in this book.

I just wish this were turning out differently. Plus, there's also the chance that John's continually lying to Pierce to get her to stay in the Underworld with him. That kinds of rubs me the wrong way. Sure, she's not the brightest bulb in the socket, but that doesn't mean she doesn't see what's going on. (And I checked, she says she's not the brightest herself, so saying that wasn't an insult).

Ugh, I wish I had more to say at the moment, but I haven't had the chance to really read far today. Too much school work and no study halls :/ Hopefully tomorrow I'll have a better review. Hang in there, it'll get better. :)

Until next time,

Alex

"Underworld" is making me feel absolutley glad that I don't have Furies after me and my family because holy canoli's it's downright evil. I mean, they've even resorted to torturing Pierce's cousin Alex. That's just mean! Not to mention the fact that you as the reader are right along with Pierce in not knowing if what she's being shown is really true or just something to toy with her and get her out of the safe underworld, protected by John, so they can try and kill her a third time. Ugh! Things are just not going as they should. Besides the fact that we've, up to this point, met Frank, a.k.a. the biggest old timey douche ever. All he does is insult Pierce. And, sure, she isn't necessarily the best person nor the most stealthy, but the sailor should cut her some slack. The things that were spewing out of his mouth were just rude. But, the phrase "curse like a sailor" didn't just come from myths either.

Aw, well I hope John stops being so confining everytime Pierce mentions leaving. I also hope he'll stop closing himself off anytime she asks him a personal question because that's just irritating. Sure, he gets to know everything about her past and what's going on with her but she can't know a thing about him Oh No! We just simply can't have that. Ugh, men!

Until next time,

The Underworld

So I've started reading "Underworld" by Meg Cabot and I have to say. I'm a little dissappointed. That being said, I'm only about 49 pages into the novel. I wish that she had tried to recap just a bit, considering people don't usually start ro read the next book in a series until they can get their hands on it and that's not usually for a while; then again that might be just me.

I enjoy the fact that she's showing the relationship between John and Pierce as something not picture perfect. She tends to insult him without meaning to, but he takes that to heart and you can see that he's trying to make her comfortable, well, as much as he possbily can. The way he just left her and didn't let her explain what she was trying to say was a little dramatic, but then again he is a death deity.

I just want to say that I may also be trying to review "Beautiful Creatures" by Kami Garcia as well. I may not be as far ahead as I should be but I'm okay with that. I'll try and post a picture soon. :) Enjoy

This happens all the time, and lately alot. I'm not sure why.

Finally!

I have finally finished "Taken at Dusk."

Let me just say, OMYGOODNESS! I did not expect that kind of ending. I thought, sure, another ghost would appear and it would take Kylie on another adventure through another book, that would eventually lead you, the reader, and Kylie away from the wild goose chase that was her identity, but damn that ending sure took me for a spin.

And the state that the new ghost is in is pretty gruesome. At first, I thought the ghost was her father, but it wasn't, which made me breathe a sigh of relief. I can't wait to read the next book "Whispers at Moonrise."
I think it will be good. Well, I hope it will be.

I love when a series, even if it does drag a little, keeps making you want to read the next book to find out what happens to the characters. Got to love that. I just wish my school's spring break would happen sooner and then I could read more faster, since I have school it's harder to read a lot in so little time.

I think this about sums up how I feel right now. I cried at the end of this book. The wrong people die :( Oh well, time for a new book. I'm starting to read "Underworld" by Meg Cabot, it's the second in the Abandon Trilogy. Can't wait!

Until next time,

Dragging...

I am now on page 202 of "Take at Dusk," and I'm still in love with it.

Sadly, it is dragging just a bit with everything that's going on with Lucas. And the fact that Red (the creepy rogue who's obsessed with Kylie) tried to dream-scape with Kylie. Ugh! Just thinking about that creep gives me the shivers.

Derek is still being a dick, although we don't hear from him much now that Kylie is trying to make it work with Lucas. Which is going incredible! Lucas may have some pheromone issues but at least he was willing to explain them to Kylie. And work through them, and let her know that if they wanted to take it slow, it was best to stay away from him right before, during, and a little after, the change. Team Lucas!!

And Perry! He fought valiantly, if a little too hot-blooded, against the evil Clark, who called Miranda a terrible name and even pushed her. The ass. I have new-found respect for the doleful shape-shifting man.Gotta love a man who's willing to defend your honor.

Although, I am farther along than last time, nothing much has happened... Well,..it has, but that would be spoilers. :) I can't wait to read more, I want to see what happens and how Kylie helps her new ghost. Who may just be a murderer? Dun Dun Dun! :)

Hope you enjoy this, I quite enjoy it myself.

Until next time,

It's FRIDAY!!

Okay so I've read farther in "Taken at Dusk" and I gotta say, it's getting better.

Lucas is by far my favorite. I mean he even knows to control himself. He senses that he could push Kylie to do something that she'd later regret because she didn't think it through. Besides the fact that he's only about a week and a half away from a full moon or the change.

The only thing that's bothering me about Lucas is that he said something that rubs both me and Kylie the wrong way. He said something to the extent of, 'I could easily persuade you.' That bothers me. Can he also manipulate Kylie's feelings, like Derek could?

So many questions, so little time. I'm just hoping that things start working out because seeing Kylie's life fall apart a little sucks. I mean she's going through so much already. I don't know maybe that's just me.

Side Note: I read Manga, which is basically Japanese Comic books. I've been reading it for a while, but I'm re-reading a series called "Black Bird." It's by Kanoko Sakurakoji  and sure the main character Misao cries a lot but it's still a good story. Check it out. Yes, they do technically read backwards.

Until next time,

Cont.

I am now on page 134 of "Taken at Dusk."

I am getting frustrated with just everybody. Kylie is being sort of whiny; Lucas is being a little aloof; Derek is just an ongoing ass; Perry is being an unintentional jerk; Miranda is doing the same thing; and Della is being too much of a smartass. Ugh!

I think maybe I'm at that time in a book where every character, no matter what, frustrates the hell out of you. I'm sorry I don't have a lot of review for today. Hopefully by tomorrow, or Saturday, I'll have a better review and I won't be so frustrated with these characters.

Although, I gotta say, I'm most frustrated with Fredericka and this new girl Ellie. Fredericka because she's just being one rude bitch to Kylie and she's saying shit to people she shouldn't. Besides the fact that she's just irritating, to begin with. Ellie bothers me because she's sees a sort of glow around Derek. I want to call it that because it's like she's blinded and can't see him for the selfish person he really is. I mean he wouldn't even try to fix his relationship with Kylie, or even try to fix the emotional overload, so they could try to be together. Oh, no. Pride had to get in his way, he was too above that to try. Oh, well at least Kylie's finally decided to leave him be, and give Lucas a try. His pack is not to my liking though. I understand up-holding tradition, but to completely dictate who someone likes-dislikes, who they can go out with, etc. is ridiculous.


:) I hope you enjoy both of these, one made me laugh and the other blew my mind.

Until next time,

Problems

I am on page 95 of "Taken at Dusk."

Both Kylie and I are having out fair share of problems. Kylie is suffering the lost relationship she had with Derek and the new one with Lucas. The constant threat of danger, and still the unrelenting assault of not knowing who she is. I on the other hand, am just having a rather bad day.

I must say, I am enjoying this book more than I did "Awake at Dawn". Team Lucas all the way, poo poo on Derek. Derek's pride means more to him than trying to salvage a relationship with the girl he "cares" for. Seriously?! Why would he let something like a little problem get in his way? I would think he would try to learn how to fix or control it and then they could have been perfectly happy together, but no he just has to go and be a stubborn ass and make out with that girl. Ugh! Sorry, I just......really don't like Derek.

Lucas on the other hand, oh my goodness. He's sweet, caring, and little weirdly creepishly protective of Kylie. I just think that his attitude towards this whole situation with her is just what she needs. He's trying not to suffocate her, but at the same time he's also still trying to get to know her better and start a relationship. Ahh, perfect.

Time to read more!
Oh and the one good thing about today, I got new glasses! :) Gotta love new glasses.

Sorry Again :)

Sorry I didn't post yesterday, it was my big brother's birthday. He's now 19. He's very sick right now, so yesterday was more of a family day. Now time for a little review.

I'm reading both "Taken at Dusk" by C.C. Hunter, and "Beautiful Creatures" by Kami Garcia. I'm getting more into "Taken at Dusk" than "Beautiful Creatures", so my reviews may just be a bit more about "Taken at Dusk" than the other.

Kylie continues her adventures in this next novel of the Shadow Falls series. Derek still seems to be the biggest dick around, even Lucas is behaving better, and he's a werewolf. That's saying something. I feel like Derek is taking out un-needed anger against Kylie, about her feelings for Lucas. Sure, she was attracted  to him, but it's not like she was going to act on the feelings. Personally, I think I've already said I'm on Team Lucas, I believe Kylie should just forget both of them for now, and focus on her mission to find out what the hell she is. And she's sort of doing that. Not as much as I think she should, but she's doing it. I gotta give her props for that.

I know this is short. I will be posting again later.

Until next time,

Finally Finished

I have finally finished "Awake at Dawn" and might I say, I loved it, even with all of the faults. I'm going to do this by character.

Kylie: She's the main character, at the story centers around her and with that comes a multitude of problems. Of course, she doesn't know what she is, and nor do the rest of the other campers. The way she deals with all of her problems, leaves room for improvement. She tends to avoid her problems for as long as she can until she had to absolutely face them, without anywhere to run. Between her problems with Derek and Lucas, and her nothing knowing what she is, and her excessive problems with a rogue vampire; life is a little complicated. She's the kind of character that you want to root for and then she goes and does something slightly stupid, and just makes you want to throttle her a little. From my perspective, she one of the most relate-able characters you could ever read. She's having a hard time finding out who or what she is, her parents are divorced, she has a kind of hate for her father "stepdad", and she's constantly having boy troubles. She has abilities that she doesn't know what to do with; she has growth spurts that make her feel all awkward and weird. Supernatural-ness aside, she's one of the most understandable characters in a series, so far. My props to C.C. Hunter.

Derek: He drives me insane, what can I say. He can be, sometimes intolerably, sweet. Other times, not so much. I think he makes some of the most idiotic decisions in the series. He leaves Kylie, because she has a lust for Lucas, but it wasn't like she would act on it. Back to Derek. He is so frustrating. I just. . . I don't think there are any more words. Maybe in the next book, I'll be able to tolerate more.

Lucas: Oh, what can I say about this amazingly sweet, yet frustrating man. See, Lucas might be frustrating, but he's willing to wait for Kylie, not push her to make decisions, and he's just adorable. I get what he did after he explained why he left, and yeah Fredericka went after him, but he at least explained and made it clear that he still likes Kylie. He was willing, even if it hurt him to some degree a little, to put Kylie's happiness above his own, and honestly be her friend, when she didn't need the "going out" drama. He didn't push her to go out with him. As I recall his exact words were, "I'm patient, Kylie. I've waited elven years for you. I can wait until you're ready." That right there is just. . . I'm going to fangirl (I'm team Lucas, if you didn't already know), so I have to stop. :)

Della: I love her. With her snarky remarks towards rude people, and her undying loyalty to her friends, even if she doesn't always get along with them. Sure, she a vampire and a little moody but what's not to love about her. She looks up to Kylie, and she would defend her no matter what. And even if it had to be coaxed out of her, she apologizes for her mistakes.

Miranda: Gah! I just want to grab her and hug her. Sure, she fucks up now and again (See screwing up with Perry), but she's genuine, and she tries hard.

Holiday: I rather enjoy Holiday, sure there are times when I think she gets out of line, or even a little repetitive about things, but she gets what she's saying and she's always willing to help. She helps Kylie see when she does wrong, and won't admit it. And, she also helps her understand the whole "ghost-thing" that's happening to her. Seeing as Holiday can see them too.

Burnett: At first, I didn't really appreciate or like him. But, after all that he's done for Holiday and Kylie, what's not to love about the guy. Sure, he's a vamp, but not all are bad; Della proves that. He might be rough around the edges, but when something happens he shows genuine concern. You gotta love that. He a big rough teddy bear, even if he doesn't like hugs.

I hope you enjoyed that. I'm starting "Beautiful Creatures" next.
I'm hoping you guys like this. :) Enjoy.


Until next time,
The Book Nerd

Sorry :/

I am so sorry, I was dead tired last night after having driven an hour and half to and from home last night. So it's time for more of a review.

Kylie is changing constantly, to the point that it's almost scary. I mean it is scary, but probably even scarier for her than for even the reader. She exhibiting all kinds a characteristics for other species of supernatural, that one would think that she's a complete hybrid and her body doesn't know which to give her more dominance of. I feel sorry for her because she has all of this stuff on her plate and it's getting harder to deal with each thing. Plus, there's the fact that Lucas and Fredericka might be coming back, and Derek is avoiding her.

I can sympathize with her on that last one, though. Having the guy you like avoid you sucks, especially if you know he likes you too. Anyways, back to Kylie. There's something about her whole situation that bothers me. I can't pinpoint it exactly, but it has to do with Holiday, the camp leader. She seems a little off lately. Probably just the effect of having Burnett, the hunky FRU agent who is helping with the camp for now and that Holiday has the hots for, around.

I hope that's enough for right now, I'll post again later to make up for not posting yesterday. I hope you enjoy this picture :) so true.

Until next time,

Odd Day. . .

It had been a relatively odd day for me. This is probably because it was a good day. I don't know, not a lot of good days have been happening for me lately. Oh well, time for the misadventures of those not of this world.
          I am 112 pages into it now. Again I do have other things to do besides read (sadly), but I am in high school and therefore my reading lengths may become longer. It sucks, but when I get home I'm pooped, for lack of choosing a better word. Now, back to review.
          Kylie is starting to get back into my good graces again. She's not being as whiny and she's looking for the solution to her problems. I think that shows improvement, although she's still being a little PMS-ey, I can deal.
          Lucas, on the other hand, is driving me crazy. He left Kylie another letter. Seriously, dude? Why the constant letters. You left with some other chick, stop leaving letters for the one you left. Ugh, men!
          There isn't much new going on with the characters besides the fact that Miranda, the witch, kissed another guy when the guy she likes and likes her back but won't make a move, freaks out. Both of the guys were shapshifters, and fight was crazy.
          Also, there seems to be a development in a weird happenstance going on. Kylie has been caught by a sudden growth-spurt and whenever she's alone, sometimes all of the sounds of nature stops and she swears she can hear someone, or something. Really weird.
Time to read more and find out. I know this is kind of short, but I'm feeling pooped and rather uninspired by anything going on right now. Hopefully, tomorrow will be better. :)


 In lou of being kind of an asshat, and a little bit bitchy myself, I hope you guys get a kick out of this picture. I think this guy nailed it, what do you think?

Half-Dead

So, I'm reading "Awake at Dawn" and I get this incredibly crippling headache. There's something wrong with that. Especially if it's a book you're enjoying reading. Ah, well. Time for review.
       I'm about 84 pages through the novel and I must say it does keep one entertained. I would be farther, but I have a research paper that I have to due :(. Kylie is kind of irritating me with this whole, "I care about Lucas, but I care about Derek, too. And, I still, also, lust after both of them." It's getting a little repetitive. The way C.C. writes it not make it seem that way though.
        The out and out, uncalled for bitchiness is what really bothers me. I understand that things aren't going as Kylie planned them, but that's no reason to lash out at the people who are trying to help and care for her. Maybe that's just me. And, as they are talking about right now, avoiding her problems can only make them worse.
        I mean sure, Derek can read your hormones and emotions and even control them, but that doesn't mean you can't give the guy a chance. Especially if the other guy you're lusting after and care for is gone, and he left with another girl, and all he's leaving you are paper trails saying he cares. Like, seriously? Lucas, for sure, is a smoldering god of an Alpha, but, like I said, he left her. 
          Yes, she's kind of a freak with all of the human and non-human species alike, considering that she can't figure about what kind of paranormal she is, making her an anomaly, BUT that doesn't mean she has to stop trying. I mean right now she's dealing with some kind of psycho-crazy ghost lady who was apparently tortured; that might help her. 
           It's all about the optimism. :) I'm just messin'; it's all about the opportunities that are presented in front of us. Whether we take them or not is up to us, but it's there and we should take advantage. Ugh, now I'm just blabbering. Well, this is MY blog. Yeesh, I sound conceited with that sentence, sorry about that one. Time to fly to la la land (a.k.a. SLEEP).

Until next time,

Finished

I have finally finished "Obsidian." 
Might I say, I can't wait to read book two, "Onyx." 
As far as a rating for this book goes I would give it a 4.75 out of 5. This is only because I found grammatical errors that irked me. When I read I also tend to look for mistakes in the writing process. I found a few and that bummed me, but nonetheless the story was still amazing. 
        My favorite part, near the end, was when Katy refused to admit to wanting a relationship with Daemon. Although Daemon did say he wanted to be in a relationship with her, he made it seem like it was on obligation, rather than something he wanted to do. Dick move, Daemon. Dick move.
        The line, "You don't know what I want. You have no clue. I want a guy who wants to be with me because he actually wants to be. Not that he's forced to be out of some kind of twisted sense of responsibility," is my favorite. She sticks it to him, and he tries to argue and she cuts him off. It was so nice to see her finally telling him to shove it for playing hot and cold with her. Twisting some girls feelings for your own sick pleasure is revolting. 
           In the next book I hope things become heated again and she continues to elude him. 'Kat' and mouse at work. Haha, see what I did there, 'Kat': Katy? I crack myself up, I hope I cracked you up too. 

I have started on a new book, one of the ones I borrowed from the library. I'm starting "Awake at Dawn." Already things are starting to happen. Fights and freaky unknown figures. (: Hopefully I'll be farther along by tomorrow and can give a somewhat review. 

Also, I would like some feedback. Seeing no comments gets a little sad. :( Even if it's some kind of emoticon, I'm good with that. 

Until next time,

Bought and Borrowed

I just came back from the library and ended up going to the store next door and bought some books for really cheap. I think I have a problem. Not one I wish to solve, just a problem. :)
Let's see, I bought these: Witch & Wizard by James Patterson
                               Exit Here by Jason Myers
                               Art Geeks and Prom Queens by Alyson Noel
                               Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson
                               Something Borrowed by Emily Griffin

All very promising choices. Although I have already read "Speak" and might I say; I found the novel to be very entertaining and enlightening. Another time perhaps (For reviewing). The other four I have not read but I'm hoping to soon. I was bad and I watched the movie for "Something Borrowed" first before I even knew it was a book. I should have checked (And I usually do) but I didn't that time. From what I saw, the story seems to have a good, if not slightly predictable, story line.

Next on the agenda, I also went to the library and I got these to read:
Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia
Awake at Dawn by C.C. Hunter
Taken at Dusk by C.C. Hunter
Goddess Interrupted by Aimee Carter
Underworld by Meg Cabot
Entice by Carrie Jones

I started to read "Beautiful Creatures" a while ago but I couldn't quite get into it. A couple of my friends kept recommending it, but something about it didn't click, so I put it aside and because I REALLY want to see the movie I'm going to attempt read it again. I hope all goes well. I'm not sure if you knew but all the rest are either the second and/or third books in a few series. I'm excited to get a start on "Awake at Dawn". I mean, I mowed through "Born at Midnight" so fast you think I'd just opened it and I was done. I'm close to being finished with "Obsidian" I just have about 61 pages to go; if you don't include the bonus chapters, that is. So, I'll be starting on these soon. And, of course, reviewing them too.

Until next time,
The Book Nerd
                                
               

More SPOILERS! (Sorry (: )

*Screams* Daemon is driving me insane. One second he's the nicest guy to Katy and then another goes by and he's the biggest douche on the planet. Ugh! He's gorgeous but that's no excuse.
          I love how it only took Daemon 289 pages to earn bonus points. Haha, Katy is so unforgiving though because right after, she took them away. I think just the fact that he's being such a dick irks me. I mean you can clearly tell that he likes her but because he feels this sense of duty to his people, he can protect her but her can't be nice to her in public. Like, what kind of b.s. is that? I think it's a load of stupid if you ask me.
          Things finally became STEAMY! They kissed and shirts came off but that's about it. Oh, and Daemon blew some bulbs around the house. It's like the sexual tension between them finally came to a head and it was HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT!
          But, seeing as this is Daemon we're talking about, he goes and ruins the moment right after it happens. After he's gotten her to open up, he flat out disses her. Saying "You're barely glowing now." Like, seriously?! Way to fuck that up! I'm so proud of Daemon (Note the sarcasm). Katy on the other hand I'm proud of. She killed an Arum and then somehow manages not completely avoid Daemon even thought he lives right next door. That takes some skill right there.

          Onto another topic for the moment, I shall be visiting the Hall of Literature (Otherwise known as: The Library) tonight. I shall be coming on later and posting about what I got and what they are about. :) I'm excited I haven't gone in almost 3 weeks, I just finished the last of the Tiger's Curse series; which I will be reviewing later.

Until next time,

(WARNING: THIS POST CONTAINS SPOILERS)

Okay so here we go. (WARNING: THIS POST CONTAINS SPOILERS)
         I'm about 178 pages into this book and I'm obsessed. "Obsidian" by Jennifer L. Armentrout.
         Daemon, of course, proves to be something of an intolerable, unreadable ass. He is drop dead gorgeous, but that's besides the point. He might be an alien that glows like 'Loki's glow-stick of destiny', but because of that, we think he thinks he's all that and a bag of chips.
         Dee is his sister and I think she's absolutely adorable. Sadly, because of what she is, she's had very few "normal" friends to speak of and the last one ran off with her other brother Dawson; they haven't been heard from in a year.
         Somehow, through all of this, Katy manages not to flip a shit and remain cool, of course she almost gets killed and has the right to (flip out, that is), but that's besides the point. Even when she feels things that she knows are forbidden about Daemon and, of course, still feels them anyway; she manages to keep calm. Although, when she throws spaghetti on Ash (Daemon's freakishly clingy and possessive ex-girlfriend), and Daemon, I was in tears with laughter because they deserved it. Saying she isn't welcome isn't right, and then having the audacity to tell her to, "Get lost." is just downright bitchy. I could get it when the psycho, Ash, said it but when Daemon agreed with her I almost threw the book.
         I didn't of course because I don't want to damage the book, but still the thoughts were there.
         Overall right now things seem to be heating up and I think something is about to happen between the extreme douche and the amazing heroine of this story. I hope she somehow gets to give him a swift kick in the ass for everyone. I hope, anyways.

Until next time,

So, I'm new.

I'm new with this whole Blog thing, but I'd like to think it's not too hard.
I enjoy reading to the extent that without my books, I'm sort of lost.
Right now, I'm reading the book 'Obsidian' by Jennifer L. Armentrout.
         I'm in love with this book. Daemon is a complete ass with ridiculous possessive issues. His attitude towards Katy tends to grate on my nerves, but then he tries to steam things up and then I'm all......Ugh! He's frustrating; in a good way though. He's the kind of character that you want to love, but he acts like a douche-bag. Or, as Katy puts it, "a triple threat." He's a combination of gorgeous, hunky man, with an attitude problem.
         Just what every woman wants in a man.
         Katy cracks me up. She's just like me. Loves to read, and would rather spend her time indoors.

Well, that's it for today, or right now I should say.

Until next time,
