On My Wishlist.....*11*

On My Wishlist is a great event that Book Chick City runs every Saturday. It's where you list all of the books that you desperately want but haven't actually bought yet. They can be old, new or forthcoming. I thought this was a great way to start off my blog.
      


Illusions: Aprilynne Pike
SYNOPSIS: GOODREADS
        Laurel hasn't seen Tamani since she begged him to let her go last year. Though her heart still aches, Laurel is confident that David was the right choice. 

But just as life is returning to normal, Laurel discovers that a hidden enemy lies in wait. Once again, Laurel must turn to Tamani to protect and guide her, for the danger that now threatens Avalon is one that no faerie thought would ever be possible. And for the first time, Laurel cannot be sure that her side will prevail.

I am putting this book again on my list because I am so ashamed I have not bought it yet. This book came out a about of month ago and I have yet to get my hands on it. I am so disappointed in myself. I need Tamina desperately!!!

Synopsis: GoodReads

BLOOD DOESN'T LIE

Sydney is an alchemist, one of a group of humans who dabble in magic and serve to bridge the worlds of human and vampires. They protect vampire secrets - and human lives. When Sydney is torn from her bed in the middle of the night, at first she thinks she's still being punished for her complicated alliance with dhampir Rose Hathaway. But what unfolds is far worse. Jill Dragomir - the sister of Moroi Queen Lissa Dragomir - is in mortal danger, and the Moroi must send her into hiding.

To avoid a civil war, Sydney is called upon to act as Jill's guardian and protector, posing as her roommate in the last place anyone would think to look for vampire royalty - a human boarding school in Palm Springs, California. But instead of finding safety at Amberwood Prep, Sydney discovers the drama is only just beginning.

Okay must I really explain why this is on my list!!! Im green with envy and jealousy from all the people that have the ARC to this book. I really want it and need more VA, even though it's a different world. I know I am borderline obssessed. But it's okay I accept myself. So for any one that has an ARC please share I will return once Im done reading it!

What's on Your Wishlist??

Just Wondering Wednesdays *4*

So to participate every week is pretty simple. Every Wednesday I will ask a question about something I am wondering about and all you have to do is answer and use the Mr. Linky I provide. Now if lets say your not really interested in my questions or are maybe wondering some other bookish things that you want to discuss, then your post can be about what your wondering about this week. Simple?? I

So I was wondering which book has made you want to throw it or chuck it across the room because it got such a strong emotion out of you and why? Ex. (Mad, WTF, Sad, NOOOO!)




So far I think there have been two books that have made me want to chuck the book right at the wall. I was so pissed but I couldn't throw it because I had to keep reading.
 Book # 1 Spirit Bound: Richelle Mead
  •  Spoilers if you have not read Spirit Bound!
  • The scene when Adrian and Rose were about to have sex. I was screaming NOOOOOOO! So since I screamed no at the book Rose and Adrian did not have sex. It was worse!! She let Adrian bite her. I was so peeved you would not believe how upset I was at Rose. I know it was a moment of vulnerability but man I was upset. it still gets me all riled up. Especially when she flicked her hair accidentally and Dimitri saw the bite. My heart stopped! 
Book # 2 City of Bones: Cassandra Clare
  • Spoilers if you have not read CoB or CoG
  • How pissed was I when I was rooting for Jace and Clary only to find out they are siblings?  VERY!!!!!! I was so mad Cassandra Clare did this to me. I mean it was the ultimate impossible love. I felt so mad at myself for not guessing it sooner and felt grossed out! But man was I happy when I found out they weren't related because I so wanted them to be together!!!


I would love to hear your thoughts on my question or if you guys have been wondering anything worth discussing?

New Page!! *Favorite Quotes*

So I decided to add another page onto my BLOG!!! I recently made my sister read the Vampire Academy series which many of you know  I am obsessed with. As she read every book I would discuss all the parts I loved and we would re-read certain quotes and it made remember and capture my favorites parts in the book.


So I decided to feature my favorite quotes of Vampire Academy on my blog. As I read more books, I will also be adding any other favorite quotes I have with other books that I read. I just love the feeling of having certain quotes transporting me to a part in the Book! 


Since I loved Last Sacrifice: Richelle Mead so much I wanted to begin with book. Here's My Review
   Beware there are some spoilers since this is the last book of the series, and I usually don't censor!

  • "What the hell?" I asked. Is this daring escape being sponsored by Honda?" 
  • "Juliet had it easy; she never had to kill Romeo." 
  • "I don’t belong to anyone. I make my own choices.""And you’re with Adrian," said Dimitri. "But I was meant for you." 
  • "A gun I had been brought down by a gun. It was practically comical. Cheaters, I thought. I’d spent my life focusing on hand to hand combat, learning to dodge fangs and powerful hands that could snap my neck. A gun? It was so… well, easy. Should I be insulted? I didn’t know. Did it matter? I didn’t know that either. All I knew in that moment was that I was going to die, regardless." 
  • "I always love seeing what worries you. Strigoi? No. Questionable food? Yes." 
  • "What?" I asked uneasily. "Why are you looking at me like that?" He shook his head, the smile rueful now. "Because sometimes, a person can get so caught up in the details that they miss the whole. It's not just the dress or the hair. It's YOU. You're beautiful. So beautiful, it hurts me." 
  • "I wasn't fooled. He was avoiding looking at me. "There's nothing to talk about." "I knew you'd say that. Actually, it was a toss-up between that and 'I don't know what you're talking about.'" Dimitri sighed." 
  • "You managed to get him a duster, but you couldn't find me a pair of jeans?" 
  • "Okay,' I said quietly. 'I'll do whatever you say. Just remember not to talk down to me. I'm not your student anymore. I'm your equal now.' He glanced away from the side of the road just long enough to give me a surprised look. 'You've always been my equal, Roza." 
  • "I loved you!" he yelled. He jumped up out of his chair so quickly I never saw it coming. "I loved you, and you destroyed me. You took my heart and ripped it up." 
  • "You said you were a victim. That's why...that's why ultimately, you and I aren't matched for each other. In spite of everything that's happened, I've never though of myself that way. Being a victim means you're powerless. That you won't take action. Always...always I've done something to fight for myself...for others. No matter what." 
  • "Ah, my daughter,ʺ he said. ʺEighteen, and already youʹve been accused of murder, aided felons, and acquired a death count higher than most guardians will ever see.ʺ He paused. ʺI couldnʹt be prouder." 
  • "She was right about something else too," Dimitri said after a long pause. My back was to him, but there was a strange quality to his voice that made me turn around. "What's that?" I asked. "That I do still love you." With that one sentence, everything in the universe changed." 
  • "Maybe under all that guilt and certainty that he couldn't love again, he still wanted me. I would have liked to have found out. But I didn't have the time. Instead, I punched him." 
  • "Ah, well,ʺ said Abe, idly studying his fingertips. ʺI have it on good authority thereʹs going to be a new ‘gateʹ opening up soon over on the south side of the wall." The truth dawned on me. ʺOh lord. Youʹre the one whoʹs been doling out C4.ʺ ʺYou make it sound so easy,ʺ he said with a frown. ʺThat stuffʹs hard to get a hold of." 
So what are some of  your favorite quotes from this book???
