It's Monday! What are you Reading? *7*


It’s Monday! What Are You Reading, is where we gather to share what we have read this past week and what we plan to read this week.  It is a great way to network with other bloggers, see some wonderful blogs,  and put new titles on your reading list. Hosted by Book Journey .


What I am Reading:
Hourglass: Claudia Gray
Synopsis: Goodreads
Bestselling author Claudia Gray’s Evernight series continues. In Hourglass, Bianca and Lucas have found a way to be together. But it means lying to the people who care about them the most.

After escaping from Evernight Academy, the vampire boarding school, Bianca and Lucas seek refuge with Black Cross, the elite group of vampire hunters led by Lucas’s stepfather. When Bianca’s close friend—the vampire Balthazar—is captured by Black Cross, Bianca knows she has to do whatever it takes to save him. But at what cost?

Hourglass, the third book in this gripping vampire series by the author of the New York Times bestseller Stargazer, has all the romance, suspense, and page-turning drama that have made Claudia Gray’s books runaway 
successes. 


Okay I am still reading this book i believe I have less tan 50 pages left but I am dragging myself to the end and skipping paragraphs, hopefully the review will be up soon!

What I Plan on Reading:
Firespell  Chloe Neil
Synopsis: Goodreads

As the new girl at the elite St. Sophia’s boarding school, Lily Parker thinks her classmates are the most monstrous things she’ll have to face…

When Lily’s guardians decided to send her away to a fancy boarding school in Chicago, she was shocked. So was St. Sophia’s. Lily’s ultra-rich brat pack classmates think Lily should be the punchline to every joke, and on top of that, she’s hearing strange noises and seeing bizarre things in the shadows of the creepy building.

The only thing keeping her sane is her roommate, Scout, but even Scout’s a little weird—she keeps disappearing late at night and won’t tell Lily where she’s been. But when a prank leaves Lily trapped in the catacombs beneath the school, Lily finds Scout running from a real monster.

Scout’s a member of a splinter group of rebel teens with unique magical talents, who’ve sworn to protect the city against demons, vampires, and Reapers, magic users who’ve been corrupted by their power. And when Lily finds herself in the line of a firespell, Scout tells her the truth about her secret life, even though Lily has no powers of her own—at least none that she’s discovered yet…

I love the cover of this book and I will be starting it later today..... I also have the second book in the series Hexbound! I hope I enjoy this series and that it's a quick read

I am very excited to read this book I read the first two books last year. I don't remember to many of the fine details of stargazer. All I remember is that Bianca escaped with Lucas and she'es with his family and they don't know what she is.  I will be starting it later today!
SO what are you guys reading this week?

What I am Reading:
Angelfire: Courtney Allsion Moulton
Synopsis: Goodreads
This debut, the first novel in a trilogy, is achingly romantic, terrifying, and filled with blistering action.

When seventeen-year-old Ellie starts seeing reapers - monstrous creatures who devour humans and send their souls to Hell - she finds herself on the front lines of a supernatural war between archangels and the Fallen and faced with the possible destruction of her soul.

A mysterious boy named Will reveals she is the reincarnation of an ancient warrior, the only one capable of wielding swords of angelfire to fight the reapers, and he is an immortal sworn to protect her in battle. Now that Ellie's powers have been awakened, a powerful reaper called Bastian has come forward to challenge her. He has employed a fierce assassin to eliminate her - an assassin who has already killed her once.

While balancing her dwindling social life and reaper-hunting duties, she and Will discover Bastian is searching for a dormant creature believed to be a true soul reaper. Bastian plans to use this weapon to ignite the End of Days and to destroy Ellie's soul, ending her rebirth cycle forever. Now, she must face an army of Bastian's most frightening reapers, prevent the soul reaper from consuming her soul, and uncover the secrets of her past lives - including truths that may be too frightening to remember.

It's Monday! What are you Reading? *4*

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading, is where we gather to share what we have read this past week and what we plan to read this week.  It is a great way to network with other bloggers, see some wonderful blogs,  and put new titles on your reading list. Hosted by Book Journey .

I haven't participated  this meme for while because I was reading the same book for weeks since I didn't have time to finish it.  So I'm back.

What I am Reading:
The Iron Queen: Julie Kagawa
Synopsis: Goodreads
My name is Meghan Chase.
I thought it was over. That my time with the fey, the impossible choices I had to make, the sacrifices of those I loved, was behind me. But a storm is approaching, an army of Iron fey that will drag me back, kicking and screaming. Drag me away from the banished prince who's sworn to stand by my side. Drag me into the core of conflict so powerful, I'm not sure anyone can survive it.
This time, there will be no turning back.

So far this book has started out strong. Meghan has more of appeal to her that I didn't see in The Iron Daughter. I hope this book delivers and only gets better!

What I am Reading:
The Vespertine: Saundra Mitchell
Synopsis: Goodreads
It’s the summer of 1889, and Amelia van den Broek is new to Baltimore and eager to take in all the pleasures the city has to offer. But her gaiety is interrupted by disturbing, dreamlike visions she has only at sunset—visions that offer glimpses of the future. Soon, friends and strangers alike call on Amelia to hear her prophecies. However, a forbidden romance with Nathaniel, an artist, threatens the new life Amelia is building in Baltimore. This enigmatic young man is keeping secrets of his own—still, Amelia finds herself irrepressibly drawn to him. 
When one of her darkest visions comes to pass, Amelia’s world is thrown into chaos. And those around her begin to wonder if she’s not the seer of dark portents, but the cause.

Okay so I have had this book on my laptop for weeks, but have yet to get to it. I really wanted to read it but I usually don't like reading from my laptop because my eyes get tired so easily. I kind of pushed this book aside when I started reading the iron fey series, but I hope I don't get distracted with something else.

SO what are you guys reading this week?

What I am Currently Reading:
The Iron Daughter: Julie Kagawa
Synopsis: Goodreads

Half Summer faery princess, half human, Meghan has never fit in anywhere. Deserted by the Winter prince she thought loved her, she is prisoner to the Winter faery queen. As war looms between Summer and Winter, Meghan knows that the real danger comes from the Iron fey—ironbound faeries that only she and her absent prince have seen. But no one believes her.
Worse, Meghan's own fey powers have been cut off. She's stuck in Faery with only her wits for help. Trusting anyone would be foolish. Trusting a seeming traitor could be deadly. But even as she grows a backbone of iron, Meghan can't help but hear the whispers of longing in her all-too-human heart.

So far this book is okay. Vampirebookclub.net rated this book one if the best books of 2010. I usually enjoy the books they rate and love their reviews. If I remember correctly they said this book was just as good as Spirit Bound by Richelle Mead who of course I love so that's why I originally started this series. But so far its been okay. I have been a little annoyed because I realized this whole series is a journey to somewhere for some reason. They will always be traveling between realms and Meghan will always almost get eaten. I guess I don't mind if one book is a series is like that but it's my favorite kind of plot for a whole series. For example Harry Potter: I feel like in Deathly Hallows Harry was on a quest you never knew what could happen because you were at the mercy of JK  Rowling, and that's what I feel this whole series is like. There is Order of the Phoenix where the main character stays in specific kind of place where the plot of the stories maintains. But the book isn't bad it's just not my preference. Anyways I am rambling on.
What I Plan on Reading:
The Iron Queen: Julie Kagawa

I hope this book gives a good series ending. I don't know what to expect since I haven't finished the iron daughter. but we will see what happens.


So what are you reading this Monday??

It's Monday! What are you Reading? *2*

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading, 
is where we gather to share what we 
have read this past week and what 
we plan to read this week.  It is a great way to network with other bloggers, see some wonderful blogs,  and put new titles on your reading list. Hosted by Book Journey .

So I guess last week it was all about Fairies and now I am hanging out with their cousin Pixies 


What I am Currently Reading:
Need: Carrie Jones
Synopsis: Goodreads

Zara White suspects there's a freaky guy semi-stalking her. She's also obsessed with phobias. And it's true, she hasn't exactly been herself since her stepfather died. But exiling her to shivery Maine to live with her grandmother? That seems a bit extreme. The move is supposed to help her stay sane...but Zara's pretty sure her mom just can't deal with her right now.
She couldn't be more wrong. Turns out the semi-stalker is not a figment of Zara's overactive imagination. In fact, he's still following her, leaving behind an eerie trail of gold dust. There's something not right - not human - in this sleepy Maine town, and all signs point to Zara.

In this creepy, compelling breakout novel, Carrie Jones delivers romance, suspense, and a creature you never thought you'd have to fear.

 I am really looking forward to reading this book. I heard so many great things about it and the latest out Entice I believe has been receiving amazing reviews. I have never read a book about pixies so we will see what happens

Hopefully I will be able to get into this novel by the end of the week. I love the cover and I have no idea what this book is about I've read so many summaries and just add them to my goodread's TBR list and don't read the summary of the back so I won't ruin the book or read anything I am not suppose to!
