The Bane Chronicles by Cassandra Clare

Hey everyone, sorry I haven't posted for a while, I have been busy finding new series to read and catching up on school work. But now I am back in the swing of things with a whole new line up of books to read.
The one you may see in the picture above is What really happened in Peru? by Cassandra Clare author of the Mortal Instruments and the Infernal Devices trilogies. I loved all her book from City of Bones all the way up to The Clockwork Princess, but out of all the amazing characters she created Magnus Bane, the high Warlock of the world, was by far my favorite. His charming atmosphere drew me in right away.
So when I heard she was writing a series of short stories all based around him I dropped everything I was working on and worked my hardest to getting a copy. It turns out it is only available in an ereader, so lucky me that my mom bought be one a while ago and set up an account for me.
I got the book as quickly as I could and spent no time at all reading it.
Now for those of you who have read the Mortal Instruments series, you know that many times Magnus mentions the fact that he was banned from returning from Peru, but would not go into detail about what happened. This book was written to explain his stories and experiences while adventuring in Peru and what lead up to his banning.
It was always funny to witness his relationships besides Alec in the Mortal Instruments with both men and women and seeing the outcome of his drinking problem (and let me tell you now that mixing intense magic and alcohol doesn't end well).
If you haven't read the Mortal Instruments, or the Infernal Devices, all of which are related in one way, I would recommend reading them right away. And for those of you who have read the series and loved Magnus as much as I do, I would push this series of short stories at you in a heartbeat.
They are short yes, but they come out in short time of one another. The second one just came out titled the Runaway Queen about the Royal family and the French Revolution and Magnus's role in it all.

 5 out of 5 stars for sure for all the drunk Magnus moments. Until next time I hope you all enjoyed :)

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

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
