Most anticipated books of 2017

Hello, and welcome back this is one of my new years resolutions to get back to blogging, so lets stop my waffling and get straight into the list.....

Always and Forever, Lara Jean - Jenny Han

To all the Boys I've loved before #3

I was so excited when i found out about this i loved the first two and they are perfect reads for the summer.

Throne of Glass #6 - Sarah J Maas

I haven't actually read book #5 yet because i have been in a really bad reading slump but this book was always going to be on my most anticipated list.

A Kings Obsession - Alison Weir 

Six Tudor Queens #2

I read and loved the first book and considering that the last book managed to make me dislike Anne i really wonder how this book is going to make me feel about her.

The Ship of The Dead - Rick Riordan

Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asguard #3

This was always going to be on the list along with any other book Riordan releases i maybe 22 this year but these books never fail to put a smile on my face.

The Dark Prophecy - Rick Riordan 

The Trials of Apollo #2

Read Above ^^^^^^^^^^ 

Riveted - Jay Crownover

Saints of Denver #3

Last year Jay Crownover became an auto-buy author for me and i cannot wait for this book, i need it in my hands right now. 

Henry - Tony Riches 

Tudor Saga #3

I have been waiting for this for a while now, i love the way Riches writes i have reviews up of the first two books in this series and i delved deeper into the way he writes so i will not go into it now but i cannot wait for this one.

Forever Geek - Holly Smale

Geek Girl #6

I cannot believe that this wonderful series is ending, i hope it ends the way i want it to and she ends up with the person i want her too because i have dedicated a couple of years to this series now and i just feel so torn i want it now but at the same time i don't want this series to end.

Lord of Shadows - Cassandra Clare

The Dark Artifices #2

This really doesn't need any explanation. 

After The Game - Abbi Glines 

Field Party #3

I love Abbi Glines,she is my main Auto buy author and this year is going to be so good she has gone back to self publishing apart from this series this series is going to stay with a publishing company but the way this book was set up in the last one i can tell it is going to be one hell of a book.

Like A Memory - Abbi Glines

This has been an anticipated book for me since 2014, when Until the End came out, we finally get a book that being my two favourite series together reading the synopsis and the two excerpts that were released today, i have been crying my eyes out because i have a feeling this is going to be an emotional rollercoaster and i will be doing a post later in the month on my theories about what is going to happen. 

Tell me your favourites in the comments 

Until Next Time

Happy Reading

Friday

so instead of posting almost everyday, that i got bored of it, i am keeping a structure and planning each month what is going to go up on each day but that isn't to say a review will not go up early if i am really excited about a book or something else comes up. 

Thank you for being patient

I'm Sorry!!!!

😭😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

Explanation 

I haven't posted on any of my blogs since September, i really have no excuses for that, apart from the fact that i haven't been reading to much in the past couple of months because i was participating in Nanowrimo and i spent most of October planning and i spent all of November writing. 

 

If you follow me on Instagram you will know that i completed Nanowrimo with over 60,000 words and i am very happy about that and now that is out of the way i have decided to completely re-vamp my blogs and start posting again on a regular schedule in January 2017. 

I will be posting the schedule once i have figured it out, in the coming days.

Until Next Time

Happy Reading

The best things in life . . . can be just around the corne

Rachel and Becca aren't real sisters, or so they say. They are stepsisters, living far apart, with little in common. Rachel is the successful one: happily married with three children and a big house, plus an impressive career. Artistic Becca, meanwhile, lurches from one dead-end job to another, shares a titchy flat, and has given up on love.

The two of them have lost touch, but when Rachel doesn't come home one night, Becca is called in to help.
Once there, she quickly realizes that her stepsister's life is not so perfect after all: Rachel's handsome husband
has moved out, her children are rebelling, and her glamorous career has taken a nosedive. Worst of all,
nobody seems to have a clue where she might be.

As Becca begins to untangle Rachel's secrets, she is forced to confront some uncomfortable truths about
her own life, and the future seems uncertain.

But sometimes happiness can be found in the most unexpected places . . .

When going into this book i didn't know what to expect, but i was genuinely shocked at how much i loved it and how different it was. The story was in my opinion Unique i haven't read anything like it, it centres around a broken family and healing and friendship, companion ship and a little bit of romance added in there as well.

The two main characters couldn't be more different Step Sisters, Rachel is a lot older and supposedly has it all, amazing job, amazing family, amazing husband but nothing is ever as it seems and Becca is the complete opposite lives in a small flat no romance no family and no job. But when her sister goes missing someone needs to look after her 3 children and since Becca and Rachel don't get along it is a lot of drama but you see them grow as characters in a book a also as people because you can connect them with people in your life because both of them are so relatable. 
The other characters in this bring it to life from the minor characters to some of the other main characters they just made the book and brought some lightness and some drama as well.

The story is one i personally haven't read before its about one sister thinking there has been a betrayal and the other thinking the other one hates her because her she didn't want to share her dad, it was a true journey and it is one of those books that will stay with me because it is a good book about family and love. I honestly recommend this book because of it writing and the way it written every page held me and i loved every minute of reading this book from start to finish, it is a brilliant book and i loved it, and i really want to read more of Lucy Diamonds books.

Until Next Time

Happy Reading

Layken's father died suddenly, leaving her to gather every ounce of strength to be a pillar for her family, in order to prevent their world from falling apart. Now her life is taking another unexpected turn...

Layken's mother gets a job which leads to an unwanted move across the country. However, a new home means new neighbours... and Layken's new neighbour is the very attractive Will Cooper.

Will has an intriguing passion for slam poetry, and a matching passion for life. The two feel an irresistible attraction but are rocked to the core when a shocking revelation brings their romance to a screeching halt. Layken and Will must find a way to fight the forces that threaten to tear them apart...or learn to live without each other. 

I never wanted to read this book, i thought it might be more like poetry from what i had heard of it and that really isn't what i like to read but after reading November 9, i really wanted to read another Colleen Hoover book, and i chose this book and i am so glad that i did and that i went in knowing nothing. 

This book falls into one of those book categories that took me completely by surprise and i the plot twists and all of the drama and it was magically written like all of the other Colleen Hoover books i have read and yes it did have poetry in it but it was Slam Poetry and to me that isn't real poetry but it has such an impact and the way it is so integral to the story

The characters were again brilliantly written and so relatable and the cutest little boys and the way they act they bring a comedic lightness to this book that has a lot of hurt and and a lot of sadness. There is so many twist and turns i am so glad i didn't know anything about this book because it was an amazing experience to feel everything without knowing the truth and anticipating everything that was going to happen. 

I don't know if i am going to carry on with this series because i just feel like i want to leave it there, i liked the ending and i don't want to delve back into this world because for me it was wrapped up perfectly and i just wonder if it is worth it to ruin a perfectly good ending by reading more of this series. 

This book was a fun, quick, emotional read and one i would recommend readily because of its phenomenal writing style and its story and characters are well worth the read.

Until Next Time

Happy Reading

This is a love story between a guy (me) and a girl (Fallon). 

I think. 

Can it even be considered a love story if it doesn’t end with love?

Mysteries end when the mystery is solved. 

Biographies end when the life story has been told. 

Love stories should end with love, right? 

Maybe I’m wrong, then. Maybe this isn’t a love story. If you ask me…I’d say this might even be considered a tragedy. 

Whatever it is—however it ends—I promised I would tell it. So without further ado.

Once upon a time…I met a girl. 

THE girl.

I actually brought this book a while ago when it was 99p and i just never read it because the synopsis just didn't call to me. I am currently in a reading slump and i just stumbled across it in my Kindle library and decided to read it and i am so glad that i did because this book took me completely by surprise it had so many twists and turns and for a romance novel it that is very refreshing. 

This book killed my emotions it really did and i creamed a little when Miles and Tate made an appearance. I was very emotionally drained after reading this book because it was a roller coaster.

The characters in this book go through so much, and they are all so phenomenally written that they feel like real people and this story is like a film playing in your head and just the way it was written and the plot twist that i didn't see coming one so strange it made me cry and in such a short space of time i got so connected to these characters and i just needed to know what happened next and i read this book in a couple of hours and it is probably my second favourite Colleen Hoover book i have read.

This book is worth the emotions it puts you through because even after the roller coaster of emotions it puts you through you cant help but smile at the end because of everything you have felt and because it feels like its worth it, and it really is i highly suggest this book because it makes you put things into perspective as well as making the reader feel apart of the book.

Until Next Time
