The Golden Lily by Richelle Mead

Hello again everyone! I've just finished The Golden Lily by Richelle Mead. Now this is the second book in the Bloodlines series, and the next series after the Vampire Academy series in case you didn't already know. While I didn't like the Vampire Academy series so much, this series I am seriously getting into.
I just love the slightly there slightly not there relationship between Sydney, the wise Alchemist, and Adrian, the witty Moroi. 
In this book we continue with Sydney, now living in Palm Springs to continue to protect Jill from enemies trying to dethrone Lissa. Here she is constantly pushed to the limits of trying to be a good Alchemist, and trying to be friends with her mortal enemies the vampires.
This becomes more and more of a struggle as Adrian wriggles his way deeper into her life. Thankfully now she has a boyfriend, yes a boyfriend who is not Adrian, and he is keeping her mind off Adrian, for the most part.
But life is not all Palm trees and paradise for Sydney and her friends. Vampire hunters are on the loose, yes real vampire hunters who are human and everything, and they are after one of Sydney's friends. 
With the clock ticking down she must figure out so many things in her life. 
Believe me when I tell you the ending is everything we hope it will be, even hinting at some things that will come in the next book. I love the characters and I really can't wait until the next book is released in the next year.

 Four out of Five stars for sure. Let's just hope the next one is a solid five ;)

Kings or Pawns By J. J. Sherwood

Hey everyone I hope you are all having a good Monday. This week I was lucky enough to be sent a copy of this book to read. It's about the size of an average book, just about 400 pages online but it is by no means a quick read. Like Game of Thrones or Lord of the Rings there is a lot of the lore and different species to learn about. Along with that there is also the add on of other worlds with even more people. My first impressions of the book were that it was a little hard to get into. The cover of the book reminds me of Dungeons and Dragons, which I am a big fan. But as a player I know that there can be a lot to do before getting into the good parts of the story so I sort of felt that the book would be a little like that. I wouldn't say that feeling was far off. But before I get into that let me tell you a bit about the book: In the world there are only two real players: King and Pawns. If you are not a King... well, you know what you are. Even if you are a highly respe

By the Hands of Men: The Old World by Roy M. Griffs

Hey everyone, I'm posting a little late today because... well, I don't actually have an excuse. I was eating McDonalds and then found a funny video online and well... I'm doing it now do there is no reason to go on. A couple weeks ago I received this book to read from the very generous author. It is a Historical Fiction set in World War One from the point of view of a nurse working near the front lines. I love stories from War because they are part of our history and I think it's important to know more about it. This book was also great for me because we had just gotten to the part about World War One in my European History class (both of the ones I am taking). But let me tell you a bit about the story: Charlotte is a Russian nurse who has been working on the front lines since close to the beginning of the war. Her and her friend from America have been working hard and have learned many things while treating the wounded. For a couple of months Charlotte is moved

Hello everyone I hope you are having a great day. I'm sorry this is coming at you later in the day than usual but I only just finished reading the book a couple minutes ago. It has taken me a while to read the book as a lot of books have lately but it isn't because I didn't like the book it is just because I have been so busy with school. I am off next week so I am hoping to get a chance to catch up on some reading then. Also, I am sure some of you are noticing that I am reading books lately that aren't very well known books. As apposed to the teen books or popular books I used to do I have been doing other types of books. This is because I think it is great to look at other books that one doesn't always see and I am always looking to help out authors when they ask me to check out their book for them.  With that out of the way let me tell you a bit about the book: A man is called to the side of the Goblin King to be hired to retrieve a sword that was stollen
