September 2015 Wrap-Up

hello all, i had a pretty good reading month this time reading 20 books albeit i didn't stick to my tbr for this month so i didn't do to well on that front but lets just get into what i read this month....

The Taming of the Queen - Philippa Gregory (15/08/15 - 01/09/15)

I have been in a reading slump for over a year and i just couldn't get in to this book at first but then once i got the feeling for the book i flew through it. in one sitting it was very good.


Easy - Tammara Webber (01/09/15 - 02/09/15)

This is always recommended to me on goodreads and i finally picked up a copy and read it as soon as i got it it was a really good read i can see why a lot of people have hyped it up.

Queen of Shadows - Sarah J Maas (02/09/15-07/09/15)

This book was a pre order and it came in two days early but i couldn't get to it because i was reading The Taming of The Queen but this book was well worth the wait it was phenomenal my full review is HERE


Royally Jacked - Niki Burnham (09/09/15 - 09/09/15)

i have recently found out i love reading books about normal girls falling in love with Rockstars and Princes, so i went on goodread and found this book. I loved this book it was very short but it was an excellent start to a series.


Wake - Amanda Hocking (07/09/15 - 09/09/15)

I have had this book on my shelf for well over a year and i finally got to it this month and i am so glad i did it was amazing i have never read a book with mermaids/sirens in it before and it passed my expectations and has made me want to continue on with the story.
 
 Username: Evie - Joe Sugg (12/09/15 - 12/09/15)

I brought this book because i was curious about it and I'm glad i did i just forgot about the whole YouTube Star writing another book, and just looked at it as a graphic novel and the artwork was beautiful and i also really enjoyed the story it was a bit fast it didn't really flow at some points but it was good.

 
 Prudence - Gail Carriger (10/09/15 - 18/09/15)

Prudence gave me a very hard time i just didn't feel like reading. so a 300 page book took me 8 days to finish. I will admit this book for me was not as good as the previous series and it didn't flow for me as well as either. I also got very confused at points but i think my brain was just telling me to put the book down. When i got over my brain being annoying i really enjoyed this book and i will be re reading it before the next book come out because i am pretty sure my brain has blocked most of this book out.


On Dublin Street - Samantha Young (19/09/15 - 19/09/15)

I had seen this book on goodreads so many times and i finally caved in and brought it and i am glad i did because this book was so good it had the perfect balance of what makes a brilliant romance novel of course the romance then friendship and heartbreak it was just perfect and i cant wait to carry on with this companion series.

Warleggan - Winston Graham (19/07/15 - 21/09/15) 

Yes if you read the date you can see i started this book in July i was spoiled and i really didn't want to read the scene that i was spoiled on because i am a huge Ross and Demelza Shipper and this was bad for our ship but once i got passed that i was fine and the second half of this book was as with all of grahams books amazing.


The Fiery Trial - Cassandra Clare (22/09/15 - 22/09/15)

we are really getting into the thick of it now these books are making me more and more excited for the rest of the series to come out and next month warlock babies and Malec nothing else i can say (entire series review coming soon)

The Boy Who Sneaks in My Bedroom Window - Kirsty Moseley (23/09/15 - 24/09/15)

This was recommended to me on amazon so when i finally brought i had little to no expectations, but this book really surprised me again it had that family feeling the heartbreak and the friendship that i love in a romance novel it was a really sad book to read about a girl who was abused by her father, and her brothers best friend sees her crying and sneaks in her bedroom window and sleeps in her bed every night to save her from the nightmares it sounds cheese but the way its written it isn't at all. 


Rival Love - Natalie Decker (24/09/15 - 24/09/15)

Ever since reading Until Friday Night by Abbi Glines, i have been looking for another high school football story and this book seemed OK and i wasn't really fussed about what i was reading and it was pretty cheap. This book was not too bad and it wasn't anything to spectacular it was in the middle for me i really enjoyed the love hate relationship between the two main characters but then at some points i just wanted to slap them all. 


Envy - Gregg Olsen (September 2015 - 24/09/15)

I really couldn't get through this book in the beginning it was so slow and i got fed up with it and stopped reading it i picked it back up with month and forced myself to get through it it really did get better as the story went on but i just really hated the first half of this book.


Bloodline - Conn Iggulden (24/09/15 - 25/09/15)

This series that is set in the period of the Wars of The Roses is phenomenal i liked the first book and then the second was a little bit better and now this one has blown them both out of the park. i have re fallen in love with Edward IV and i need the next book in this series now. 

Dream of You - J Lynn (28/09/15 - 28/09/15)

i decided to read this before Forever with You came out and it was a really good novella longer than i was expecting but that was a happy surprise. J Lynn could post her shopping list and would read and review that i love her books and her characters and this did not disappoint, another handsome man and another Strong willed heroine.


Forever With You - J Lynn (29/09/15 - 29/09/15)

Forever With You follows a character we met in the very first book and didn't like very much she was the horrible sl*t who we didn't want to come between Cam and Avery then again in Be With Me she threatened to come between Jase and Tessa but then she helped Tessa and we saw a different side to her then we didn't see her at all for the next couple of books and this book made me love Steph she was such a strong female with what she goes through and how she deals with it. 
   

Tempting The Best Man - J Lynn (29/09/15)

As i have said previously i love Jennifer L Armentrout and i through i should give these books a go and i am so glad i did they are adult romance books and i was ill all this week and they just made me feel better and reading very quick and sweet books.

Tempting The Player - J Lynn (29/09/15 - 29/09/15)

Like i said before just a really fun quick book that made me laugh out loud and fall in love with the Gamble brothers


Tempting The Bodyguard - J Lynn (29/09/15 - 29/09/15)

Look at what i said above same applies here. The Gamble brothers are almost as good as the Maddox brothers but not quite.


Rule - Jay Crownover (30/09/15 - 30/09/15)

I looked for new adult books on goodreads and this one was on there and i remember seeing it on amazon as well and decided it something was telling me i should read this book and i am so glad i did bad boys with tattoos and piercings just what i needed after being really annoyed by my reading slump.

 So that is all the books i read in September 2015

Until Next Time
Happy Reading

Queens of England and Their Times - Volume 1 &2  - Francis Lancelott 

Books that tell you all about the Queens of England and the times they lived in. These two books catalogue over 500 years of history.










Elizabeth of York - The First Tudor Queen - Alison Weir  

Many are familiar with the story of the much-married King Henry VIII of England and the celebrated reign of his daughter, Elizabeth I. But it is often forgotten that the life of the first Tudor queen, Elizabeth of York, Henry’s mother and Elizabeth’s grandmother, spanned one of England’s most dramatic and perilous periods. Now New York Times bestselling author and acclaimed historian Alison Weir presents the first modern biography of this extraordinary woman, whose very existence united the realm and ensured the survival of the Plantagenet bloodline.

Her birth was greeted with as much pomp and ceremony as that of a male heir. The first child of King Edward IV, Elizabeth enjoyed all the glittering trappings of royalty. But after the death of her father; the disappearance and probable murder of her brothers—the Princes in the Tower; and the usurpation of the throne by her calculating uncle Richard III, Elizabeth found her world turned upside-down: She and her siblings were declared bastards.

As Richard’s wife, Anne Neville, was dying, there were murmurs that the king sought to marry his niece Elizabeth, knowing that most people believed her to be England’s rightful queen. Weir addresses Elizabeth’s possible role in this and her covert support for Henry Tudor, the exiled pretender who defeated Richard at the Battle of Bosworth and was crowned Henry VII,
first sovereign of the House of Tudor. Elizabeth’s subsequent marriage to Henry united the houses of York and Lancaster and signalled the end of the Wars of the Roses. For centuries historians have asserted that, as queen, she was kept under Henry’s firm grasp, but Weir shows that Elizabeth proved to be a model consort—pious and generous—who enjoyed the confidence of her husband, exerted a tangible and beneficial influence, and was revered by her son, the future King Henry VIII.

Drawing from a rich trove of historical records, Weir gives a long overdue and much-deserved look at this unforgettable princess whose line descends to today’s British monarch—a woman who overcame tragedy and danger to become one of England’s most beloved consorts.



So that is all the books i purchased this month 

Until Next Time
Happy Reading

Book Survey - Greek Mythology Style

Hello everybody. 

A couple of weeks ago i saw this while looking for book tags to do and it seemed like fun i saw it on DreamLandBookBlog  and thought i would give it a go. 

This survey was created by Flip That Page, and the main idea of the whole thing is that you have to answer a number of questions, one for each god/character from Rick Riordan’s Heroes of Olympus and Percy Jackson and the Olympians-series.

Gods of Olympus 

Zeus (Jupiter) 
God of the Sky and Thunder / King of the Gods

 Favourite book (choose your own category!)

Breathe - Abbi Glines

This book started my addiction with Abbi Glines and even though it was cheesy in parts it still brings a smile to my face when i think about it. 

Poseidon (Neptune) 
God of the Seas and Earthquakes

Book that drowned you in feels

Ugly Love - Colleen Hoover

God even a couple of months on the emotions and feels from this book still kill me every time i think of it. The pain was so real you could feel it. 


Hades (Pluto)
God of the Underworld
Favourite book with a dark / ominous plot

The Never List - Koethi Zan 

This book is messed up it is about a girl who was locked in the basement with 3 other girls and 10years after they escape they are confronted with each other and what they did to survive. Twist and Turns a plenty.


Hera (Juno)
Goddess of Marriage and Family

 Cutest fictional couple

Tessa and Jase

Tessa and Jase from Be With Me by J Lynn are one of the cutest couples right from the start just the awkwardness around them and their interactions have made them a favourite for me.



Athena(Minerva)
Goddess of Wisdom, Handicraft and Strategic Warfare

 Series with the best world-building

 Throne of Glass - Sarah J Maas 

This series is all about the world building i don't want to say too much but it is such an intricate world and all the different places and the different creatures it is phenomenal.



Aphrodite (Venus)
Goddess of Love and Beauty

 Most beautiful cover on a 2014 release

To All The Boys I've Loved Before - Jenny Han

This cover is extremely gorgeous, a beautiful cover for a beautiful book.

Ares (Mars)
God of War and Bloodshed

 Most violent book you’ve ever read

Stombird - Conn Iggulden 

Stormbird is a very real take on medieval war craft and it is violent and bloody and just getting started.



Hephaestus (Vulcan)
God of Blacksmiths and Fire

 Scorching hot swoon worthy character

Cage York

So boys in books how can i choose just one, in the end i chose one that even to this day almost a year on he is still one of my favourite boys in books, Cage is the bad boy every good girl needs. 


Artemis (Diana)
Goddess of the Hunt and Virginity

Favourite Kick-Ass Heroine
Rose Hathaway 
Rose for me is the original kick ass heroine before her i had read about Bella and Zoey Redbird she is a kick ass heroine and she is one of my all time favourite female characters.


Phoebus Apollo (Apollo)
God of Light and Healing

Sequel book that redeemed its series
Cross My Heart And Hope To Spy - Ally Carter
The first book in the Gallagher Girls series was OK for a stand alone but for me it didn't bring anything into the series at all it had a completely different vibe to the rest of the series. And when i read the second book i became addicted to it. 


 
Hermes (Mercury)
Messenger God of Thieves and Commerce

 Book with the best message

Love Rosie - Cecelia Ahern

The message in this book is that if love is meant to happen it will even if it takes years and many failed marriages if its meant to be it will be.
Hestia (Vesta)
Goddess of the Hearth and Home

 Book with the most relatable story

Fangirl - Rainbow Rowell 

Fangirl is such a relatable story its about a normal girl trying to find her way in the world and meeting new people and dealing with family problems it just describes almost every teenage girl in the world. 

Demeter (Ceres)
Goddess of Fertility and Agriculture

  Favourite bookish setting

Tudor England 

I absolutely love The Tudor Period and any book i have read that is set in that period. If i could live in any world it would have to be the Tudor era. Who wouldn't want to see Henry VIII as a young hansom prince. 



Dionysus (Bacchus)
God of Wine and Celebration

 2015 release you are most anticipating

The Sword of Summer - Rick Riordan

I literally need this book right now, it has been almost a year since we have heard about Annabeth and Percy and I'm hoping we get some glimpses of them and also i have never read a Norse Mythology book before so I cannot wait. 

Heroes of Olympus

Percy Jackson

a brave, spirited natural leader with a sarcastic sense of humour, and a will to save friends and enemies alike

Favourite protagonist
Celaena Sardothian 
Celaena is such an amazing protagonist she is strong and she has such an amazing personality and she is a kick ass heroine who protects the people she cares about. 


Annabeth Chase 
intellectual genius with a strong mind, brave heart, and a love for architecture

Series / book with the cleverest plot
Shadowhunters Series - Cassandra Clare
It is such a cleverly written series with how all of the series are interconnected and it all flows perfectly i cannot imagine what goes into writing a world like this where you have different characters in different generations but at the same time they are all very similar. 


Jason Grace
 has a moderate sense of humour, but a strong sense of Honor, justice and compassion, often described as perfect

Book with an epic finale
 
The Mark of Athena - Rick Riordan
 
The ending to this book had me having a heart attack seriously if i had read it then had to wait for the next book i would probably have killed someone, this ending was epic for all the right reasons even if it gave me heart attack. 

Piper McLean
aggressive and persuasive but down to earth, caring and loving towards Jason, her friends and family

Book with a tempting synopsis (one you haven’t read!)
 
The Book of Ivy - Amy Engel
 
So i saw this book on goodreads and keep on debating if i should buy it i have not been able to forget the synopsis and i really want to read it. 

After a brutal nuclear war, the United States was left decimated. A small group of survivors eventually banded together, but only after more conflict over which family would govern the new nation. The Westfalls lost. Fifty years later, peace and control are maintained by marrying the daughters of the losing side to the sons of the winning group in a yearly ritual.
This year, it is my turn.
My name is Ivy Westfall, and my mission is simple: to kill the president’s son—my soon-to-be husband—and restore the Westfall family to power.
But Bishop Lattimer is either a very skilled actor or he’s not the cruel, heartless boy my family warned me to expect. He might even be the one person in this world who truly understands me. But there is no escape from my fate. I am the only one who can restore the Westfall legacy.
Because Bishop must die. And I must be the one to kill him…
 
 
Leo Valdez
good-natured and energetic, funny but intelligent, honest and witty, and is skilled with machines

Book that made you laugh

Geek Girl - Holly Smale 
 
Geek Girl is a funny cute contemporary book that made me laugh out loud, and it still makes me laugh and smile whenever i think of certain scenes. 
 
 

Hazel Levesque
bright  and outgoing despite an unfortunate childhood, is mature for her age and has a love for horseback riding
 
Favourite character with a tragic past
 
Avery Morganstern
 
Avery goes through something traumatic at 14, when she does the right thing and tells the police her family make her lie and say she made it up.
 
 

Frank Zhang
somewhat shy, cynical, and clumsy, though he possesses a strong sense of duty, loyalty, and love

Book you loved more than you thought you would
 
Stray - Rachel Vincent
 
When i first was going to start Stray i looked it up on goodreads and it had some really bad reviews, so i didn't read it until about a week later and i thoroughly enjoyed it. 
 
 
 
Nico di Angelo
grim, solitary, powerful and mysterious, highly unpredictable and selectively affectionate

Most mysterious character you’ve ever encountered
 
The Silent Brothers
 
We really don't know much about them and they are in all of the shadowhunter books and i would love to know what really goes on in the silent city when no ones watching. 
 
 
 
Grover Underwood
cheerful, upbeat and protective satyr who chews on furniture when he gets nervous

Book you won’t read due to warnings against them

Vampire Diaries Nightfall - L J Smith 

I have heard that they get worse as you carry on the first four are OK but then they get really bad so i wont be continuing with this series.



Clarisse La Rue
arrogant and hot-tempered, but brave, strong and protective of camp

Most annoying character
 
George Warleggan
 
George Warleggan is from the Poldark saga and he is such an annoying little bugger and i really want to punch him, at every turn hes trying to financially hurt Ross and i really hate him for it.
 
 
So that is it for this tag
 
Until Next Time
