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.

Title:  All Fall Down Author:  Ally Carter Series:   Embassy Row, #1 Pages:   320 Publisher:  Orchard Books Date of Publication:  5th February, 2015 Source:  NetGalley for review* Synopsis from Goodreads: Grace can best be described as a daredevil, an Army brat, and a rebel. She is also the only granddaughter of perhaps the most powerful ambassador in the world and Grace has spent every summer of her childhood running across the roofs of Embassy Row. Now, at age sixteen, she's come back to stay - in order to solve the mystery of her mother's death. In the process, she uncovers an international conspiracy of unsettling proportions, and must choose her friends and watch her foes carefully if she and the world are to be saved.

Top Ten Books of 2014!

It's nearly 2015! Happy new year everyone! I read 61 books this year, which was one over my target, woop! Here are my top ten (in the order that I read them because I couldn't order them!): here are eight, the other two were library or Kindle reads!  1. Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell ( review ) After all the hype I couldn't ignore this one, and I'm so glad I didn't! Possibly my favourite book of the year. A must read for all fans of YA! 2. Lobsters by Tom Ellen and Lucy Ivison ( review ) This had me laughing out loud in public places and making a fool of myself - and I couldn't care less. So funny and realistic and one that I'm sure I shall be revisiting whenever I need cheering up.  3. The Secret Diary of Lizzie Bennet by Bernie Su and Kate Rorick ( review ) I adore the Lizzie Bennet Diaries and so this was a dream of a book. It fills in all the gaps of events only upon in the video diaries, including those exciting dates with Darcy ;) A must read for Pride ...

Book Review: The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks by E. Lockhart

Title:  The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks Author:  E. Lockhart Series:   Standalone Pages:  352 Publisher:  Hot Key Books Date of Publication: 6th November, 2014 Source:  Publisher for review* Synopsis from Goodreads:  Fifteen-year-old Frankie Landau-Banks has grown up a lot over the summer. She's no longer daddy's little girl - and almost immediately after starting the new semester at her highly prestigious school, she bags goofy-but-gorgeous Matthew Livingston as her boyfriend. They get along great but then Frankie discovers that Matthew is a member of a boys-only secret society that specialise in 'hilarious' pranks. Which hardly seems fair... especially when Frankie knows she's smarter than any of its members. And to prove this, she's going to teach them a lesson. Impersonating lead member Alpha by using a fake email account is surprisingly easy, and soon Frankie is setting the boys up with all sorts of ridiculous schemes and s...

Monthly Round Up: October

Hello, guys! October has been a month of ups and downs for me, one of the ups being the blog! I actually did more than five posts. I'm pretty proud of myself. And I still managed to read quite a few books despite having to read slow, boring, old books for university. I chose the English Lit life, but that doesn't mean I have to like Daniel Defoe. The man is in desperate need of an editor.  Books Read Unmade by Sarah Rees Brennan The Golem and the Djinni by Helene Wecker Blue Lily, Lily Blue by Maggie Stiefvater Roxana (uni) by Daniel Defoe The Screaming Staircase by Jonathan Stroud The Fair Jilt (uni) by Aphra Behn The Whispering Skull by Jonathan Stroud Total: 7 Books Reviewed Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe  by Benjamin Alire Saenz Blue Lily, Lily Blue  by Maggie Stiefvater The Screaming Staircase  by Jonathan Stroud  Book of the Month If you guys know me at all, this should be completely obvious to you.

It's like Spooky Christmas to me and I am all about it and to help get me in the mood for Halloween, I know I like to spend the week reading some spooky as heck books. SPOOKY AS HECK, I SAY. So I thought I would share with you, dear readers, some of my favourite spooky Halloween books to help us BOTH get into the spirit of Halloween. But I am always in the spirit of Halloween. THIS IS MY TIME. HERE ARE SOME BOOKS: The Name of The Star by Maureen Johnson We start this list of Halloween books with the most wonderfully creepy and very good The Name of the Star. The best book in the series (out of two, so not much competition...) The Name of the Star combines Johnson's charm with her creepiness. Also, JACK THE RIPPER BUT GHOSTS. Now you're interested. If you haven't already read it. Through the Woods by Emily Carroll Just to mix it up so that this whole thing isn't novels, the comic anthology Through t...
