March TBR (2016)

Hey guys, this is Abi here,
And this is my March TBR for 2016!

March TBR (2016)

TBR Jar: March 
The TBR Jar Challenge for the month of March is:
Read a book that is guaranteed to bring you joy.

TBR Jar Book: No frickin' idea
I actually have no idea what book is guaranteed to bring me joy because I haven't read it yet! I've tried asking friends, no-one has an idea! Also, I'm pretty good at ready books that would make me happy. I guess I could read I'll Give You The Sun... but the only thing is I was saving it for the summer... okay if any of you guys have any ideas about whether you think I'll enjoy I'll Give You The Sun, or if there's another one that you think I'll enjoy! Thank-you!


Other TBR Books
Nineteen Minutes, by Jodi Picoult
I am currently reading this, and I *after checking book* 162 pages into it, and I am deeply infested in it, because it's a Jodi Picoult book, and they're all just great. I should finish this book by the end of the week, so expect a review to be up on Monday. 

The Reflections of Queen Snow White, by David Meredith
Now for this one, an actual author approached me on Goodreads! I know, I can't believe it either! This book moves on from the time that Snow White was the Princess, and she has a daughter that is getting married, but this is still her journey. I actually can't wait to read this because it seems incredibly 
interesting! Also, love the cover!



Demon Road, by Derek Landy
I'm actually really ashamed that I haven't read this book yet as its by one of my most favourite and most read authors ever, but I'm hoping that because the sequel to this book is coming out on the 31st, then that'll be the ignition that'll kick my ass into gear for me to read this book! 


Continuing Series' 
The Lying Game series, by Sara Shepard
I'm hoping to continue this series as I have read the first two fairly recently, and also the third one should arrive at some point today, so that'll be exciting! The next one is Two Truths and a Lie. 


The Series of Unfortunate Events 

I really need to read these again before the TV show starts!


So that is my TBR for the month! Again if you have any thoughts on what my Jar Challenge book for the month should be, let me know! And with that, I bid you goodbye!

February Wrap Up (2016)

Hey guys, this is Abi here,
And since it is the last day of February, I am going to do a Wrap Up for the month of February! So, I bring you my February Wrap Up!

February Wrap Up (2016)
Okay, so these are the books that I read in the month of February:
1. Unbecoming, by Jenny Downham
2. The Book Thief, by Markus Zusak
3. Lone Wolf, by Jodi Picoult
4. The Lying Game, by Sara Shepard (Re-Read)
5. Never Have I Ever, by Sara Shepard
6. Ritual & Legacy, by Alex Duval

TBR Jar Challenge 
Read a book that was made into a film: The Book Thief, by Markus Zusak
I did read this one, despite the fact that (again) I missed the love show (I went out), it was still really good to read this book as I wanted to read this for the longest time. Full review somewhere on my blog.

So that was my February Wrap Up! I did really hope to read more, but the fact that I 're-read only 1 book as opposed to approximately 4/5 books last month I think I did fairly well!
So I will see you guys on Wednesday, and I will be doing my March TBR! So, I will see you soon, bye!

Ritual & Legacy (Vampire Beach #3 & #4), by Alex Duval (Part 2)

Hey guys, this is Abi here,
And since I mentioned in my last post that I would be reviewing the two stories separately, I will be reviewing Legacy as of today. So, let's get on with the review!

Ritual & Legacy (Vampire Beach #3 & #4), by Alex Duval (Part 2) 
Title: Legacy
Author: Alex Duval
Genre: Speculative 
Release date: 5th June, 2007
Pages: 249
Blurb: " Life couldn't be better for Jason Freeman. He knows all about the vampires in Devere Heights; he'd almost been killed by some of them - - twice. But Jason is over all that. The end of senior year is approaching, and he's totally, insanely in love with Sienna Devereux, the most "jolie" vampire of them all. 
While Sienna's parents are dead-set against the relationship, Aunt Bianca offers Jason a proposition he can't resist: If he transforms into a vampire - - like Aunt Bianca did- - he will inherit her estate, her influence, her power: her legacy. And Jason is free to be with Sienna - - forever. 
There are big decisions for Jason and Sienna to make - - decisions that could change their lives. And Jason would die to be with Sienna..."

My Thoughts
This book was a quick read, from a series I read long ago. And it was really nice to revisit the characters from this story. If you are in the mood to read a vampire book that it won't take you long to finish, has loveable characters and an electric plot that you won't be expecting to go the way it does, then this series (as a whole, but specifically this book) is for you! 

And those are my thoughts on Legacy, by Alex Duval. I'm sorry that I talked about it in more of a general sense and I didn't go into a whole lot of detail, but sometimes you just... can't. 
I will be doing my February Wrap Up tomorrow, so stay tuned for that! And with that, I bid you goodnight!
