High Fantasy

Currently I have been in love with high fantasy but I still typically go for the Young Adult fantasy. Recently I have discovered a few good series that I will post about. Right now I'll just give a list of these books and then post individual reviews for them as soon as I can. 

Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas:
Throne of Glass
Crown of Midnight
Heir of Fire

Falling Kingdoms by Morgan Rhodes:
Falling Kingdoms
Rebel Spring
Gathering Darkness
Frozen Tides (2015 release)

Snow Like Ashes by Sara Raasch:
Snow Like Ashes
Ice Like Fire (2015 release)

Seven Realms by Cinda Williams Chima:
The Demon King
The Exiled Queen
The Gray Wolf
The Crimson Crown

The Remnant Chronicles by Mary E. Pearson:
The Kiss of Deception
The Heart of Betrayal (2015 release)

I haven't completed any of these series yet but I plan on it. The first two series have several more books on the way according to the author pages on goodreads. The  Seven Realms series is done but I think there will be a spin off series, at least goodreads shows it on the author page. Chima also has another series out that I believe has 5 books in it, it's the Heir Chronicles, I personally havent read any but I'm sure I'll eventually at least try the first book. There are several other high fantasy series that I havent even started yet but as soon as I read any of those others I'll post on here about it.

Long Time No Post

Man it has been almost a year since my last post! All I can say is I apologize for my absence. This past year has been really crazy, I welcomed my first niece into the world last year and I have been working super hard on graduating from college. I actually graduate in August! The fall and spring semesters were packed with nothing but History and English classes and each semester I took 15 hours which is 5 classes. I'm officially in my last ever class of my college career so I am now able to actually concentrate on what I love most and that is reading! I seriously have only been able to read a few books here and there because I had to read so many books for my English classes. The books we had to read for class were interesting and fun but they weren't the types of books I like to read for fun. I'll also be able to get back to writing as well! My major is in creative writing so you would think that I still was able to work on my story but alas I wasn't. My last professor actually hated anything that wasn't realistic so I had to focus on writing stories about real life. I do enjoy reading stories about real life but it's not my cup of tea. Then the amount of essays I actually had to write as well didn't allow me the time to write for fun either! I am back now and have more free time! I am going to make a list of the few books I have read so I can write reviews on them as soon as I can write them up! Keep your eyes out for new posts!

Sarah Dessen


I talked about her books in my previous post but I just wanted to show you all her books that are currently out! If you want a good YA contemporary novel with a cute and adorable main boy then read these books! My first book of hers was The Truth About Forever and to this day it is my all time favorite book! If you are wondering where to start I would say start with that one and work your way through the rest!

Barnes and Noble haul!


So I recently decided to try YA contemporary again. I used to love this genre but I got sucked into YA paranormal romance. I usually do get a few contemporary novels each summer because they just seem like a summery thing to read. So these are the books I've gotten so far and I'll post reviews soon! Just so ya'll know I love Sarah Dessen and have read 5 of her books so far, not counting the one above. I'll try and post some reviews of the books I've read by her! There are other YA contemporary books that I love and I'll try and post about those books too!

Serious Post



This is so true! Never give up on life or hurt yourself everything will get better! Like Gary Allen said every storm runs out of rain! Tell someone how you feel and what's going on in your life because that person can help you and talking works so well! Trust me I know what it's like! Go for a run if you need to just don't stay in that dark hole you put yourself in. Just remember your family and friends love you and it would destroy them if anything happened to you!

Nook and Kindle

I posted earlier that I have a nook and a kindle and you may be wondering why the heck I have two reading devices, well today I'll inform you as to why. I had my nook first because I love Barnes and noble. Like I seriously could live at that store! Also it made it easier on my mom to just let me order the books off of there than having to go to the store every week to get new books, I can seriously read a book any size within a day. I was very against e-readers at first because who doesn't love just holding onto an actual book and reading it? I eventually caved and got my nook. Well a year later the kindle fire came out and I was just planning on using it for a tablet. Well that didn't happen. I got the kindle fire but when I noticed how cheap some books are I started to get a little cray cray. I mean a book for .99? Come on who can ignore that. So for awhile I just used my
Kindle and my poor nook just sat there unused. Well eventually I decided to make one e-reader for the more expensive books, nook, and one for the cheaper books, kindle. Well now Barnes and noble has a lot of the cheap books too so it gets hard but I try and stick to what I designated them for. I love to use both of them and I still love going into Barnes and Noble to buy actual books.
