library Haul (2) ! :)

Hey, 

I went to the library today looking for a certain book but I couldn't find it so I got something else out. 

Loads of people have said good things about this book, and couple of friends also enjoyed this book, so I thought why not get it out and read it :) 

The book is..... 

Grave Mercy by (His Fair Assassin #1) by Robin LaFevers:

Why be the sheep, when you can be the wolf? 

Seventeen-year-old Ismae escapes from the brutality of an arranged marriage into the sanctuary of the convent of St. Mortain, where the sisters still serve the gods of old. Here she learns that the god of Death Himself has blessed her with dangerous gifts—and a violent destiny. If she chooses to stay at the convent, she will be trained as an assassin and serve as a handmaiden to Death. To claim her new life, she must destroy the lives of others.

Ismae’s most important assignment takes her straight into the high court of Brittany—where she finds herself woefully under prepared—not only for the deadly games of intrigue and treason, but for the impossible choices she must make. For how can she deliver Death’s vengeance upon a target who, against her will, has stolen her heart?


I can't wait to read it :)

Sorry

Hey everyone,

As you can tell I have neglected this blog for nearly a whole month now and that's because everything is happening at once, my birthday was last month and Christmas is this month and college has been stressing me out, so I will hardly be posting this month or anything at all.

THE GOOD NEWS IS!!

Next year I will hopefully try to be back to being more active on this blog as I really really don't want to stop blogging.

Please followers stay following as I will be back in flung swing as soon as possible.


As you wait you can stare at this cute bunny :)

Love,

Canterbury Library !!!

It's been roughly 3 years since this library was closed to be remodeled :O 

So all we had was a small library down a high street..which really didn't have a lot of books.. so when I FOUND out it was opening soon I could not wait.. it was meant to open tomorrow but it opened earlier so I walked in today with 2 of my friends and I suddenly felt at home :D 

My library card wasn't working so I had to get the card renewed..also the museum there is very interesting :D

So overall I was so so happy :D 

The Canterbury Library :D

Review of Nocturne (Claire de Lune #2) by Christine Johnson

Description
Claire feels like her life is finally settling down and she couldn't be happier. She's been filly initiated into her family's pack of female werewolves, her best friend Emily is back in town, and the gorgeous Matthew Engle us now her boyfriend.

But Claire knows all to well that life as a werewolf is never simple. And when she discovers that new girl Amy knows more about her than she's letting on, Claire feels that things are beginning to unravel.

Claire knows that if her werewolf identity is exposed everyone she loves will be put at risk. And, as her human and wolf live continue to collide, Claire must fight to keep her secret safe.

^^GoodReads^^



My Thoughts
This is a second in series kind of thing, so I was already going to get it, but i never knew it was out until my sister pointed it out, and i looked at her with those pleading eyes, but she didn't budge,and i already bought a book, that day, and well i was in waterstones, and i have a waterstones card, therefore, i got money took off, oh yea, so i got the book, for like less then £3.00 :D.

The author of this book is a great writer and has put a lot of detail in the story. From start to finish i loved it and it only took me less than 24 hours to read it maybe actually less than 9. The style of writing she uses is easy and it makes perfect sense. The POV was focused on one character throughout the book, which made it more interesting than switching characters.

My Thoughts on the characters is Claire is a great girl and tries her hardest to do what is right whether it is forbidden or not. Her boyfriend to me is amazing and how he deals with it could of been a little better. Her best friend is cool, and i wish she could know the truth. Her mum well i feel she is a little to bossy and she should care for her daughter more.

My overall opinion on this book is; I loved it, and i wanted more when it ended :D
