Carry On - Rainbow Rowell

Title - Carry On
Author - Rainbow Rowell
ISBN - 978-1-4472-9890-8
My Copy - Purchased
Genre - YA / New Adult
Where You Can Find It - Goodreads - Waterstones - Barnes & Noble - Book Depository - Amazon UK - Amazon US 

Simon Snow is the chosen one, but he is the worst chosen one in the history of chosen ones. He has a power he cant control and he is a danger to everyone around him. Can Simon defeat the mysterious Humdrum and live to tell the tale, and his relationships will they survive the quests and dangerous way of his life. 


So pretty much every part of this book is a spoiler, i will say i enjoyed it, it took me a long time to get into it but once i did i read over 500 pages in one sitting. It was a very fun and entertaining book and full of humour and just everything going wrong. I liked reading from different POV's but Agatha to be brought absolutely nothing and i could have done without her being a POV. 

Carry On the book has an amazing cover and also if you look under the cover its so beautiful and very pretty unlike the plain block coloured ones also the inside the map of Watford was also a lot of fun to look at. Carry On its self was split into 4 books and an epilogue that was OK it really didn't need to do that since each book flowed from the previous so to me it was just a wasted page with a very beautiful picture on it.

At times Carry On was very predictable its not predicable when you start reading it but you get a feel for what is going to happen and what secrets are going to be revealed. The ending was a very well rounded ending that i was happy with i probably wouldn't have changed anything from this book apart from Agatha to me she was just an annoyance who didn't need to be there she brought nothing to the story. 

Overall i gave this book 4 flags i enjoyed it but it could have been a bit better. 

Until Next Time
Happy Reading

The Virgin Widow - Anne O'Brien

Title - The Virgin Widow
Author - Anne O'Brien
Genre - Historical Fiction 
ISBN - 978-1-848-45387-6
My Copy - Purchased
Where You Can Find It - Goodreads - Waterstones - Barnes & Noble - Book Depository - Amazon UK - Amazon US

Anne Neville is one of the most eligible women in England half the heiress to the mothers fortune and the Neville name, but like many woman in her time she is am pawn for her fathers gain married off to a boy she has thought of as an enemy to her family her entire life and left to the mercy of The Bad Queen, Margaret of Anju, she has to fight for herself because no one else will do it but when her husband is killed she is left in the hands of her sister and his husband who wish for her inheritance, can the only man she has ever loved save her(if you know history, you know the answer). This story is about a woman's fight for her rights her life and her freedom. Anne is such a strong character for she she goes through and still manages to survive. The supporting characters bring so much, and the emotion is so real you can feel the pain and the happiness of each character.


My thoughts on this book are not as mixed as i originally thought they were going to be, i have read one other book in Anne's POV (The Kingmakers Daughter - Philippa Gregory) and i really didn't like her character at all but it really does like it says on the cover "out does even Philippa Gregory" the characters the scenes they just pulled me in and i wanted more and more i fell in love with O'Brien last month and i am in the process of buying all of her books because they are so good and addicting. I loved this book and feel like i should recommend it to everyone, but historical fiction is not every ones cup of tea it is a particular taste especially this time period because it is set during a civil war so there are aspects of that in ti as well.

Until Next Time
Happy Reading

So That's What He Said Thursdays was Created by Chapter Break and it is pretty much just a appreciation post for your favourite Male Protagonist's quotes to his girl. 

I have loved this character since about 2011 he is such a sassy, cocky, brilliant character that builds over the course of 5 books.

Top 5 Wednesday - Favourite Fandoms - 6th January 2016

Hello Everybody, i haven't done T5W since November but i hope to keep it up this year, this week its all about Fandoms (book, tv, film, ect) i have chosen 3 book fandoms and 2 others because i love the other two fandoms and i don't really follow that many book fandoms ...

lets jump in ....


5. Vampire Academy Fandom.

I love the Vampire Academy Series so when ever i see anything VA related i get very happy so edits, GIFS and quotes are my life source. 


4. Elizabeth of York Fandom 

This is mainly on Tumblr but i love it so much again all the edits and the arguments about something that happened well over 500 years ago fills me with joy(which is strange i know that petty arguing fills me with joy i cant help but laugh at it)


3. Abbi Glines Fandom 

You can find this one anywhere Facebook, twitter, tumblr, instagram, ect.... every single Abbi Glines book is just Binge-worthy they make you smile and laugh and cry and feel so many emotions and all of her male characters are so on point they should be illegal.


2. The British Royals Fandom

Again this fandom is mainly on Tumblr and i also mainly follow the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry Blogs and again its all about seeing the amazing edits and gifs but the arguments are just hilarious really people argue over the stupidest things on the Internet. not to mention the amount of hysteria for Harry's beard. 


1. Harry Potter Fandom 

The best fandom ever, it just keeps the magic alive and all of the pictures and twitter and instagram and drawing and just everything and everyone in this fandom are awesome. 


Top 5 Wednesday was created by GingerReadsLainey
