Zodiac (Zodiac #1) by Romina Russell

"At the dawn of time, there were 13 Houses in the Zodiac Galaxy. Now only 12 remain…." 

Now That You're Here (Duplexity #1) by Amy K. Nichols

Falls the Shadow by Stefanie Gaither

"When Cate Benson was a kid, her sister, Violet, died. Two hours after the funeral, Cate’s family picked up Violet’s replacement. Like nothing had happened."

"...But Links can be stolen, and six people have already lost their lives to a memory thief, including Gena’s best friend..."

  This is one I like, just found out about a few weeks back. The story sounds wonderful! You say "Memory thief" and it pulled me in, making me think more & more about it! 

The Walled City by Ryan Graudin

"730. That's how many days I've been trapped.
18. That's how many days I have left to find a way out."

  Simple read the words above... Who wouldn't want to know more about that! 

 

 

The Telepath Chronicles 

"In THE TELEPATH CHRONICLES, fourteen of today's top sci-fi writers share stories of the uncanny and unexpected."

This book should be a good read. I enjoy books written by more than one author. I helps shows different writing styles.

The Young Elites (The Young Elites #1) by Marie Lu

"I am tired of being used, hurt, and cast aside."

I'm a fan of Marie Lu, I enjoy her writing style. Also this book sounds good!

Snow Like Ashes (Snow Like Ashes #1) by Sara Raasch

 "A heartbroken girl. A fierce warrior. A hero in the making."

Stitching Snow by R.C. Lewis

"Princess Snow is missing... Her home planet is filled with violence and corruption at the hands of King Matthias and his wife as they attempt to punish her captors..."

 This book just sounds like it would be a simple good, page turner book. I love the wolds of Princess & Kings. P.S. I just love the cover on the book! 

Winter Falls (Twin Willows Trilogy #1) by Nicole Maggi

"Things look up when a new family comes to town, but when she falls for the hot, mysterious son, Jonah, her life turns upside down." 

I enjoy stories were two characters who meet for the first time. There is something about characters meeting and watching there relationships grow. This line here "powerful magic in the surrounding forest." is another reason I want to read this book. Should be good! 

In the exclusive audio adventure, written by Darren Jones, the Doctor, Amy and Rory find themselves embroiled in an adventure in the Amazon Rainforest in the early 1800s. A pioneering naturalist wants to capture a jaguar for London’s new zoological gardens, but soon the hunter has become the hunted, as a far higher grade of species plans to prey on the human race…








This was my first Doctor Who story with Rory in it. This character is well written and brings more to the storie. As for the story plot I wasn't a huge fan of this one. I liked it, but didn't love it. The Doctor himself is what kept me reading as he charmed and thought his way through this story. The story it played out well but there was a few parts that seemed rushed while others where a bit slow. I can say thought I didn't see the ending. I thought it was going down a different path than it turned and ended differentially. Not loving this book isn't going to keep me from reading more Doctor Who as this is the first I've came by that I wasn't in love with. This story is filled with the Doctor ways that fans love; I but wasn't a fan of the plot.

Rules: “This is a meme I started and thought I'd (with a lot of help from Ula @ Blog of Erised) that
I'd make a schedule of the posts to come if anyone wants to join in :). The aim of this meme is to share with fellow bloggers a character, spell, chapter, object, quote etc. from the books/ films/ J. K. Rowling herself or anything Potter related! Each topic will be posted on this page for the week. There will also be  free week where everyone can decide whatever topic they want!
All I ask in return is that you guys link back to my blog :). Hope you enjoy!”



Uhm, I would have to say Snape but then in Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince (And then what happens) but then we find out that its just part of a plan. So, with that in mine and out of all the books. I would have to say Xenophilius Lovegood. Luna is by far one of my favorite characters of all time. (She's just simply amazing!)
Then once I learned about her father and that he believes and stands with Harry I was tickled purple. But once I was reading/watching the Deathly Hallows a part of me broke when I learned about the betrayal and the fact of what happens to Luna. I mean I totally understand why he did it but he could of simply told the three & they would of help. But any why I could go on and on.

The Night We Said Yes by Lauren Gibaldi

A fun, romantic read, perfect for fans of Sarah Dessen and Susane Colasanti!

Before Matt, Ella had a plan. Get over a no-good ex-boyfriend. Graduate from high school without any more distractions. Move away from Orlando, Florida, where she’s lived her entire life.

But Matt—the cute, shy, bespectacled bass player who just moved to town—was never part of that plan.

And neither was attending a party that was crashed by the cops just minutes after they arrived. Or spending an entire night saying “yes” to every crazy, fun thing they could think of.

Then Matt abruptly left town, and he broke not only Ella’s heart but those of their best friends, too. So when he shows up a year later with a plan of his own—to relive the night that brought them together—Ella isn’t sure whether Matt’s worth a second chance. Or if re-creating the past can help them create a different future.

In alternating then and now chapters, debut author Lauren Gibaldi crafts a charming, romantic story of first loves, lifelong friendships, uncovered secrets, and, ultimately, finding out how to be brave.

Pretending to Be Erica by Michelle Painchaud

Seventeen-year-old Violet’s entire life has revolved around one thing: becoming Erica Silverman, an heiress kidnapped at age five and never seen again. Violet’s father, the best con man in Las Vegas, has a plan, chilling in its very specific precision. Violet shares a blood type with Erica; soon, thanks to surgery and blackmail, she has the same face, body, and DNA. She knows every detail of the Silvermans’ lives, as well as the PTSD she will have to fake around them. And then, when the time is right, she “reappears”—Erica Silverman, brought home by some kind of miracle. But she is also Violet, and she has a job: Stay long enough to steal the Silverman Painting, an Old Master legendary in the Vegas crime world. Walking a razor’s edge, calculating every decision, not sure sometimes who she is or what she is doing it for, Violet is an unforgettable heroine, and Pretending to be Erica is a killer debut.

The Witch Hunter by Virginia Boecker

 The magic and suspense of Graceling meet the political intrigue and unrest of Game of Thrones in this riveting fantasy debut.

Elizabeth Grey is one of the king's best witch hunters, devoted to rooting out witchcraft and doling out justice. When she's accused of being a witch herself, Elizabeth is arrested and sentenced to die at the stake. Salvation comes from a man she thought was her enemy. Nicholas Perevil, the most powerful wizard in the kingdom, offers her a deal: he will save her from execution if she can track down the person who laid a deadly curse on him.

As she's thrust into the world of witches, ghosts, pirates, and all-too-handsome healers, Elizabeth is forced to redefine her ideas of right and wrong, of friends and enemies, and of love and hate.

I Was Here by Gayle Forman

Cody and Meg were inseparable.
Two peas in a pod.
Until . . . they weren’t anymore.

When her best friend Meg drinks a bottle of industrial-strength cleaner alone in a motel room, Cody is understandably shocked and devastated. She and Meg shared everything—so how was there no warning? But when Cody travels to Meg’s college town to pack up the belongings left behind, she discovers that there’s a lot that Meg never told her. About her old roommates, the sort of people Cody never would have met in her dead-end small town in Washington. About Ben McAllister, the boy with a guitar and a sneer, who broke Meg’s heart. And about an encrypted computer file that Cody can’t open—until she does, and suddenly everything Cody thought she knew about her best friend’s death gets thrown into question.

I Was Here is Gayle Forman at her finest, a taut, emotional, and ultimately redemptive story about redefining the meaning of family and finding a way to move forward even in the face of unspeakable loss. 

 

 

 

Hold Me Like a Breath (Once Upon a Crime Family #1) by Tiffany Schmidt

Penelope Landlow has grown up with the knowledge that almost anything can be bought or sold—including body parts. She’s the daughter of one of the three crime families that control the black market for organ transplants.

Penelope’s surrounded by all the suffocating privilege and protection her family can provide, but they can't protect her from the autoimmune disorder that causes her to bruise so easily.

And in her family's line of work no one can be safe forever.

All Penelope has ever wanted is freedom and independence. But when she’s caught in the crossfire as rival families scramble for prominence, she learns that her wishes come with casualties, that betrayal hurts worse than bruises, that love is a risk worth taking . . . and maybe she’s not as fragile as everyone thinks.

Since she was a baby, Aza has suffered from a mysterious lung disease that makes it ever harder for her to breathe, to speak—to live.

So when Aza catches a glimpse of a ship in the sky, her family chalks it up to a cruel side effect of her medication. But Aza doesn’t think this is a hallucination. She can hear someone on the ship calling her name.

Only her best friend, Jason, listens. Jason, who’s always been there. Jason, for whom she might have more-than-friendly feelings. But before Aza can consider that thrilling idea, something goes terribly wrong. Aza is lost to our world—and found, by another. Magonia.

Above the clouds, in a land of trading ships, Aza is not the weak and dying thing she was. In Magonia, she can breathe for the first time. Better, she has immense power—and as she navigates her new life, she discovers that war is coming. Magonia and Earth are on the cusp of a reckoning. And in Aza’s hands lies the fate of the whole of humanity—including the boy who loves her. Where do her loyalties lie?

To thwart their plans, Avery must follow a trail of clues from the landmarks of Paris to the back alleys of Istanbul and through a web of ancient legends and lies. And unless she can stay one step ahead of beautiful, volatile Stellan, who knows she’s more than she seems, and can decide whether to trust mysterious, magnetic Jack, she may be doomed after all.

 

 

The Cage (The Cage #1) by Megan Shepherd

The Maze Runner meets Scott Westerfeld in this gripping new series about teens held captive in a human zoo by an otherworldly race. From Megan Shepherd, the acclaimed author of The Madman's Daughter trilogy.

When Cora Mason wakes in a desert, she doesn't know where she is or who put her there. As she explores, she finds an impossible mix of environments—tundra next to desert, farm next to jungle, and a strangely empty town cobbled together from different cultures—all watched over by eerie black windows. And she isn't alone.

Four other teenagers have also been taken: a beautiful model, a tattooed smuggler, a secretive genius, and an army brat who seems to know too much about Cora's past. None of them have a clue as to what happened, and all of them have secrets. As the unlikely group struggles for leadership, they slowly start to trust each other. But when their mysterious jailer—a handsome young guard called Cassian—appears, they realize that their captivity is more terrifying than they could ever imagine: Their captors aren't from Earth. And they have taken the five teenagers for an otherworldly zoo—where the exhibits are humans.

As a forbidden attraction develops between Cora and Cassian, she realizes that her best chance of escape might be in the arms of her own jailer—though that would mean leaving the others behind. Can Cora manage to save herself and her companions? And if so . . . what world lies beyond the walls of their cage?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Insurgent is a 2012 science fiction young adult novel by American novelist Veronica Roth, the second book in the Divergent trilogy. As the sequel to the 2011 bestseller Divergent, it continues the story of Tris Prior and the dystopian post-apocalyptic version of Chicago. Following the events of the previous novel, a war now looms as conflict between the factions and their ideologies grows. While trying to save the people that she loves, Tris faces questions of grief, forgiveness, identity, loyalty, politics, and love.

The book was first published on May 1, 2012 by the HarperCollins imprints Katherine Tegen Books in the U.S. and HarperCollins Children's Books in the U.K, a "Collector's Edition" was published on October 30 in the United States. Insurgent received mostly positive reviews from critics, with reviewers praising Roth's writing.
Throughout the start of the story I was waiting for something more to happened between Tris and Tobias/Four. In the start of this book had many ups and down in many parts I just felt like yelling at them. But then once Tris is being tested on and Tobias/Four came, turing himself in and so on. I just wanted to yell at them. ‘Run away’, true love and so on like that. This book made me want to slap some characters and myself too. Anyways, I just enjoyed this book if all its twist. 

 Bellatrix. Let's just say I enjoy reading & watching how twisted and crazy she is. All the way from her laughter to that look in her eyes to the way she acts. Bellatrix is by far my favorite 'bad guy' of all time. I hate her so much that I enjoy hating her. Her twist ability to kill or act with out what sees to be a thought. The way she can just make a face that turns my stomach or makes me want to pull my hair. It's just by far the great character to hate.
