The Bane Chronicles - Cassandra Clare
The
perfect gift for Shadowhunters. This gorgeous illustrated hardback
brings 10 stories about immortal warlock Magnus Bane together for the
first time, along with a bonus never-before-seen tale. A fan-favourite
character from Cassandra Clare's Shadowhunter Chronicles, Magnus
features in The Mortal Instruments, The Infernal Devices, Tales from
the Shadowhunter Academy and the movie of City of Bones. Magnus will
never be able to tell all of his tales. No one would believe him. But
these stories shed a little light on his often inscrutable character.
They are stories he probably wishes had never got out.
Then my Nan brought me a book

The
adored and spirited daughter of England's greatest knight, Mahelt

Bigod, son of the Earl of Norfolk, takes place sooner than she expected.
Mahelt and Hugh come to care for each other deeply, but Hugh's strict
father clashes with the rebellious Mahelt. When more harsh demands from
King John threaten to tear the couple's lives apart, Mahelt finds
herself facing her worst fears alone, not knowing if she-or her
marriage-will survive. Next i only brought this book because it was Hardback and 1.99 and i was going to need to buy this book anyway because i will probably be doing a book to movie review next year

If You Could See Me Now - Cecelia Ahern
Elizabeth Egan's life runs on order: Both her home and her emotions are arranged just so, with little room for spontaneity. It's how she counteracts the chaos of her family -- an alcoholic mother who left when she was young, an emotionally distant father, and a free-spirited sister, who seems to be following in their mother's footsteps, leaving her own six-year old son, Luke, in Elizabeth's care. When Ivan, Luke's mysterious new grown-up friend, enters the picture, Elizabeth doesn't know quite what to make of him. With his penchant for adventure and colourful take on things large and small, Ivan opens Elizabeth's eyes to a whole new way of living. But is it for real? Is Ivan for real?
The Gates of Rome - Conn Iggulden
The year is 53 B.C. Fresh from victory in Gaul, Julius Caesar leads battle-hardened legions across the Rubicon river-threatening Rome herself. Even the master strategist Pompey is caught unprepared by the strike, and forced to abandon his city. The armies of Rome will face each other at last in civil war, led by the two greatest generals ever to walk the seven hills. Thus begins Conn Iggulden's towering saga of Julius Caesar as he approaches his final destiny--a destiny that will be decided not by legions but by his friend Brutus and an Egyptian queen named Cleopatra, who will bear his only son....
For Caesar, the campaign against Pompey will test his military genius and his appetite for glory to their limits, as the greatest fighting machine the world has ever seen divides against itself in a bloody conflict that will set brother against brother until victory or death. But for Caesar, another kingdom beckons--a world of ancient mysteries and languid sensuality, where a beautiful, bewitching woman waits to snare his heart.
The Gods of War follows Julius Caesar through politics and passion, ruthless ambition and private grief, and into the corruption of power itself. Those he has loved will play a part in his triumphs--as will the jealousy and hatred of his enemies.
From the spectacles of the arena to the whispered lies of conspirators, Conn Iggulden brings to life a world of monumental drama. And at its heart is one extraordinary friendship--marked by fierce loyalty and bitter betrayal, with dark events shrouded in noble ideals.
