Shadow Falls Series

So you know how I was trying to decide on what series to start? Well I chose Shadow Falls and well to say the least I just finished the third book. I STRONGLY suggest you read this series as it is amazing and so interesting. I have been trying soooo hard to fine the fourth book buuuuuuut I've failed. So I guess I'll just have to wait till next month to get my new book- I am limited to only 1 book a month(cruel)- I thought about reading one of the other books that I talked about but figured that it would be better off sticking to one series at a time. Yeah so this was just a random post because I'm bored without my books!

Oh if you want to start reading the Shadow Falls Series all you need to know is that they are by C.C Hunter and that the first book is Born At Midnight. 

Endless reading!! I LOVE IT!

Okay so since I finished the Vampire Academy series-which I kinda did a mini review of The Last Sacrifice on I believe my last post-I have been wondering what to read next, and of course it had to be a series or I would finish to quickly. Well... that didn't exactly happen, the whole series thing I mean. Sometime around 3 pm yesterday-Oh yeah so I totally thought today was Monday up until like fifteen minutes ago when my sister told me it was still Sunday- I got bored so I had my sister take me to get a new book. And I have to admit that I fell victim to the never-ending torment that is... The Fault In Our Stars. I bought the book and began reading around 4-ish and lets just say by 11... well I was a sobbing mess as I read the last words. Another downside to being me is that I read relatively quickly.... so once I finished reading that amazing novel by John Green, well I looked to find other books. Thankfully while I was searching for The Fault In Our Stars at B&N I came across a couple interesting looking novels-so of course it was only logical to make a list. And here is my top three on this magical list:

Crash by. Lisa McMann

Born at Midnight by. C.C Hunter

Deep Blue by. Jennifer Donnelly

At this moment I am having a hard time deciding which to start first.... so I'm going to search online for all three and whichever one I find-because it will most likely only be one- I'll read the series then move on to the next on my list.

So yeah this was just me.... updating I guess. Oh yeah! So sorry I couldn't post a What's New Wednesday last week, suppppper busy! But yeah I will this week I promise!

Anyway you may continue on with you brilliant lives. Geronimo!

Sad happy endings? / Review for The Last Sacrifice (unexpected spoilers)

SPOILERS!!!!!

Alright so I just finished reading The Last Sacrifice-a.k.a the last book in the Vampire Academy series- and I am almost crying. At first I was worried that the ending would be a let down/not what I wanted but I was both pleased and displeased with the ending. I guess I should say that there are spoilers. Considering that I am in the mood to rant.

I thought it was cool that she sort of tricked us into believing that things weren't going to be okay but then she flipped it around and gave us a pretty decent resolution. I enjoyed that Lissa became queen but was a bit upset at her character and her personality/ actions throughout the novel, also I was glad to see such a huge change in Adrian but was MAJORLY disappointed with the lack of resolution for him- I felt that he had earned a happy ending but in the end was left screwed over and if anything in a worse place than he started in in Frostbite, next is Sydney, I have grown to love that little human but I felt that they put too much emphasize on her instead of focusing on some of the other characters-for instance I would have loved to learn more about Sonya and Mikhail- and basically I thought it to be a let down that she over everything else received a unsettled ending. I feel like with Sydney I both wanted her to fall in love with a Moroi but at the same time I would have just been happy if she got to continue living her own life-unlike how she became an outcast among her people. And then there is my precious Dimka, oh do I love him!!!!! He has gone through so much and I was so happy for him to see he got everything that I felt he deserved-although I would have liked that both he ANNNNND Adrian could get what they wanted , but alas, they could not- although I wish that I would have gotten to see a bit more passion between him a Rose as they struggled to ignore their love. Finally I want to say that ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING WITH ROSE ANGERED ME!!!!! First off, was it really necessary to add a 'third' love interest (that keeper guy) or were you just running out of ideas? Second, why was Rose never really fighting and seeming to be always injured? Also, I feel like the book could have easily been split into a duel point of view between her and Lissa based on the number of times that the story was being told through Rose's mind looking through Lissa's eyes. Third, I love her and Dimitri don't get me wrong but I feel seriously disappointed at how her and Adrian's relationship ended, I felt like they shouldn't have ended in a fight and that that last line "I don't think I will I ever see him again." Next I would like to say that I was APPALLED by the fact that Rose never really thought about Mia until she was being held at FRICKING GUNPOINT-UM HELLO?!?!?!?! In addition, I feel like the whole mood of The Last Sacrifice was not in relation to the personality of its protagonist. Moreover here other things that angered me; Dimitri ignoring Rose, Lissa's attitude towards court life, Tasha Ozera being the murderer(totally thought it wad Daniella), the bond being broken, Rose almost dying as the ending, the whole entire pointless section with the keepers, the unresolved aftermath of Rose killing Vyctor and leaving Robert in the woods, Jill being Lissa's younger sister, Adrian turning into an ass in the last two chapters, Rose cheating on Adrian, Dimitri acting like a complete immature adult when it came to his feelings for Rose, the lack of passion in the romances, WHERE THE FUCK WAS EDDIE FOR IDK THE WHOLE BOOK?, wanted to see more of a relationship between Abe and momma Hathaway, I wish that there was more action, why was there so much useless strigoi?, what was the other thing that Abe did for Sydney, why did Rose and Dimitri not go back to Russia-you know you were thinking it-, and last, although there is probably more, why was the tone after Rose woke up from ALMOST DYING, so nonchalant.

Anyway.... the moral of this post is that though some endings may be happy they might also be a bit sad or disappointing, also that all endings are sad and that no matter how many series I read I always cry on the last book.


Oh yeah.... and just a little random quote, my favorite saying is "Don't cry because it is over, cry because it happened." but I think we can all agree that when it comes to books..... some of the things that 'happen' aren't exactly things you wish happened.

Not sure really

I'm not sure what to be doing anymore. I know what I need to do but for some reason its like I don't have the energy to do it anymore. Summer can't come fast enough. And though you don't know me as well as I would have hoped... I haven't had inspiration to write lately and for me... thats huge! I've written a poem or two lately but that, again, is SERIOUSLY out of character. I NEVER write poetry because I suck at it... but lately its all I have had the drive to do. I'll try to write a new chapter of my book but it just takes so long for me to get my idea's onto the page, it's like I know exactly what I want to say and do but I can't remember how to illustrate it. Also I feel like my taste in music has completely changed but that is unrelated. I just really wish that I knew someone actually cared about what I have to say. I have started to feel like I'm writing for no one... honestly? I'm doubting myself. What if I never make it as an author and all the time, hard work and dedication just ends up being for nothing. My heart will break if no one ever gets to read my work. If there is one thing I want from life its for people to get to read my work. I can see my future so clearly and to have that constant fear in the back of my mind of what if I can't make it... its driving me crazy. So I guess I'll share with you what I see in my future.

I'm in my late twenties. I finished college two years ago and have been working at the local paper to earn ends meat. I have a loving boyfriend and my book has just been complete. I decide that I want to make the effort to get my book published so I contact every publisher I have ever heard of, I call in all my resources, I even ask my high school english teacher for advice. Finally a small publishing company hears about my book and thinks its interesting. They set up a meeting with me and we read over a few chapters. They are impressed and decide to grant my wish of becoming a published author. After a long year of editing and book promotions its finally that day, the day that my book is released.

Anything after that wouldn't even matter... so long as I reach that one goal. I honestly wouldn't mind if my book did god awful in stores... so long as a single person-who I'm not related to- likes my writing, my life will be complete. I guess you could say I have low standards for myself but unless you know exactly what you want to do in life-like me- you really can't understand the hunger I have for this. I would do most anything in the world to get to have any bit of my writing published. There really wasn't a point to this post but it did do something for me, it made me crave icecream and gave me back some of my drive.

Have a good monday night guys... I'm going to go write.

Aching Heart

So I didn't get a chance to post my What's New Wednesday yesterday but I am going to try to make up for it now. Well to start, I don't know. I got a text message today from my mom saying that my baby was sick-its my chihuahua guys. So I got home from school and waited for about an hour before my sister Leigh and I took her to the Vet. After 3 hours at the vet, heart worm tests, blood tests, and x-rays, we found out that she has a slightly enlarged heart. For those of you who don't know this can be a very serious issue in her future. I don't really know what to do.... I'm so worried and there isn't even anything that I can do to make her better right now, its going to take a long time to get her health back to what it was and her heart can never be fixed. This is so scary... and I can't really believe that she could so easily be taken from me. But I guess what can be taken from her large heart is that it is full of love. I'm going to sleep soon with my baby pressed against me and wrapped in my arms... with everything that has been going on in my life lately... the loss so many around me have been feeling, well I hold everyone I care about that much closer to me. I guess what I want to say in this post is... don't taken the little things for granted.

If any of you have lost someone recently-R.I.P Devin and Travis- I hope that things get better and know that that person with never be forgotten.

It's Official

Sooooo if you read my last post you would know that I took my Math pert-the entrance exam for a college program- and well.... I got a 114.... and I needed, A 114!!!!!! I felt very confident on the first 8 questions.... then I hit question 9. Damn you question 9! Anyways, after that it basically switched back and forth between "what is this?" and "woooow really? College level?".  So all in all i've had a fairly okay day other than my boyfriends very close friend committed suicide last night so he was having a very hard time dealing with it and me, being the socially awkward and inept, person I am.... I didn't know how to comfort him. Yeah.... oh so I found out that my aunt is going to take me with her, my cousin Michaela, Chelsea, Emery, and Micheal, to their 'birthday breakfast' at CINDERELLA'S CASTLE! Yes I ammmm fangirling. Well whatever I'm alloud to fangirl. This just got really off topic but anywayyyyyys, yeah.... I'm officially going to college next year! Oh god... I'm going to college next year. Wish me luck.

I'M IN COLLEGE....Maybe?

So in some schools in Florida they do this thing for junior and seniors in high school where they can take college classes at the local college instead of taking the 'same' classes at high school-for a lower credit- and then having to retake the classes again after they graduate. Basically what has been going on with me lately is I have been preparing to take the test that will determine if I get into the program or not. Well today I took two sections of the test-the reading and writing- and tomorrow I take the math portion. I got my scores back for the two I already took and well.... I PASSED! I'm really excited because that is basically the first step to getting into the college, next I pick out my classes. Its so crazy to think that I'm going to be walking around a college campus, taking college classes, and spending my days with adults who won't treat me like I need to be coddled. This is a pretty big step for me and I'm so grateful for this opportunity. Also, this will likely improve my writing because it will give me new experiences so base my writing off of. I hope that my test goes well tomorrow... wish me luck!!!!

Absence

I'M BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!

Really sorry for being MIA lately but not only have I been REALLLLLLY busy but I may have also..... gotten locked out of my account? Heh.... yeah so what happened was I thooought that my password was one thing-it wasn't- so I let my mom log me out.... only when I tried to log in, I didn't know the password. Well the other problem was that my 'recovery email' was an old yahoo account that I definitely didn't remember the password for. So I've been trying to figure out a way to get my password back when my brain finally started working and said "why don't you just answer the security questions?" To say the very least.... I was mad. Anyways... I'M BACK! I plan on resuming my usual posts and updates. Speaking of...

In my time I have been gone I; I wrote a few more chapters in my book, I wrote a short story (around 3,750 words) for this magazine writing contest, I got back my testing scores for writing-I scored 76% above other students in my grade, and I've finished a couple of books.

Well thats really what I have to say right now but I can assure you guys that I will be posting more in the coming weeks.

Alright bye guys
