NEW FRIENDS. NEW DANGERS. NOT EVERYONE CAN BE TRUSTED … Karina, Tristian, Rashka, and Sam venture forth into the wilderness of Soter on the next leg of their quest to retrieve the Armor of the Creator.

January 2013 Wrap Up

Hey! It's been 2013 for a whole month now and it's crazy! I've done exams, started controlled assessments and done loads of school work but I've still managed to fit in some reading and blogging too, which is good, even if it isn't as much as I'd hoped! I'm hoping to read more in February as we have half term and no more exams until June, so in theory I should have more time. We'll see! Here's what I read in January!       1. Night School by CJ Daugherty (reread) 2. Night School: Legacy by CJ Daugherty 3. Level 2 by Lenore Appelhans 4. The Tragedy Paper by Elizabeth LaBan 5. The Indigo Spell by Richelle Mead (half) I was lucky enough to attend the launch party for Level 2, and it was great fun! There was cake and a photographer (guess which one I liked best? :P) and I'm happy to report that I really enjoyed Level 2 as well. Night School was a reread, so that I'd be all clued up for the sequel, Legacy, and I'm so in love with those books...

Book Review: The Tragedy Paper by Elizabeth LaBan

Title:  The Tragedy Paper Author:  Elizabeth LaBan Series:  N/A Pages:  305 Publisher:  Doubleday Date of Publication:  10th January 2013 Source:  Publisher Synopsis from Goodreads:  Tim Macbeth is a 17-year-old albino and a recent transfer to the prestigious Irving School, where the motto is, “Enter here to be and find a friend.” Tim does not expect to find a friend; all he really wants to do is escape his senior year unnoticed.

Letterbox Love #2

So I haven't done a Letterbox Love or IMM or book haul or anything for months now, and I used to love these posts so I thought I'd start them up again, especially as I've got some awesome books these last couple of weeks! I've only included the books I've received in 2013 and for Christmas, because I couldn't remember what I got before... :P Apologies for the books not being in the centre of the picture. If that bothers you. It bothers me :P BOUGHT Night School: Legacy by CJ Daugherty I absolutely love this series! This one was brilliant, my review's coming soon. How to Save A Life by Sara Zarr (Not pictured; ebook) Only 99p in the Kindle sale - looking forward to this one as I've only heard good things!

Absolutely adored the first one so can't ...

But as B learns more about the zombies held in the complex and the scientists keeping them captive, unease settles in. Why exactly was B saved? And is there anyone left in the world to trust? DO NOT READ THIS REVIEW IF YOU'VE NOT READ THE FIRST BOOK, Zom-B , AND DO NOT WANT TO BE SPOILED. My Thoughts: Having read Zom-B and found it to just be okay, I wasn't sure what I was going to think of the sequel, Zom-B Underground . To be honest, I picked it up to read because it was the shortest book in my TBR pile and I...

Reading and Blogging Resolutions 2013

Hello! It's been 2013 for a week, I know, but I've got some resolutions that I want to keep to this year to keep me motivated throughout, as I've kind of been bumbling along very slowly since about half-way through last year. So, here's what I hope to achieve in 2013 with my reading and blogging! 1. Read 100 books! I've set my target at 90 as I only managed a (pitiful) 84 last year, but I really would like to read 100 again! I was so proud of myself in 2011 when I managed it, which is why I was kind of disappointed by only 84 in 2012... So 90 is my lowest target, but ideally I'd like to reach 100! 2. Blog more! I know, I know, quality over quantity and all that, but I only posted once in December and that was kind of rubbish of me. I have a lot of school stuff to do, as I'm in my first exam year (boo!), but I think blogging is a good way to wind down and relax by doing something I love, so my goal is to blog at least semi-regularly throughout the year, with...
