Started reading A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas

Hello Bookies,

I'm reading the second book that comes after A Court of Thorns and Roses. I highly enjoyed the first book, so I'm really looking forward to reading this one. This time around it sounds like that she will not be saving the love of her life, but he will be saving her from her own demons. Or, at least that is what I am thinking because I have literally just started this book. I'm not sure what is all going to go down since she defeated the evil woman that controlled all of the kingdoms and freed everyone from her. Maybe the book is just her trying to get over the fact that she had to kill two innocent people in order to free everyone. That she has to defeat her demons in order to be truly happy. Who knows, other than those that have already read the series. No spoilers as I try to solve the questions I have formed in my mind the moment I got my hands on this book.

So until next time...

Finished reading Intensity

Hey there Bookies,

Today is a sad day because the Chronicles of Nick have come to an end. Or, at least as far as I know. But it had to happen eventually. Anyways, things got pretty crazy as Nick tried to fix thing and then got captured somewhere. He never learned who the mother of his son was but he did learn that he can make sure his son doesn't end up the way he did. Nick also decided that he had to reset everything and just live life the way it was supposed to, making things play out like they do in the Dark Hunter series. Which is probably best. It would have been nice to see this series continue on the way that it was, but I guess we all can't have everything. Either way I highly enjoyed it and I would recommend it to anyone who asks. So go check out the series. Fall in love with the characters as much as I have. You will not be disappointed.

So until next time...

Started reading Intensity by Sherrilyn Kenyon

Hello there Bookies,

I can't believe I have come to the end of the series. But If I had to be honest here, I hope that there is more because I just love how Sherrilyn created Nick for this series. He is just so lovable. I think he was lovable in the Dark Hunter series, but it's been a while since I read any of those books, so I can't really remember. The think I really like about this series is that it is a spin off the Dark Hunter Series, but it's like an alternate universe of where Nick knew everything before he got in the mess of losing his mother and his friendship with the leader of the Dark Hunters. It just makes you wonder what different outcome this would make later on if the series was to continue. But I guess we will never know.

So until next time...

Manga post #16

Hey there Bookies,

I finally have all of the manga books I want to read in my hands all at once. It's the three we have been working on for the past few posts, so I don't think I need to waste anyone's time by describing the series.

The mission to save Sasuke is still underway. Choji has beaten his opponent but we aren't sure if he survived or not. The volume focuses more on Neji's battle with an enemy that really reminds me of a spider. The battle is tough, and Neji has a few close calls but he ends up winning in the end. Sadly he is so beat up that he just might die in the end. I hope not and I'm pretty sure that he won't. Only because I do believe he dies later on in the series. People just had to ruin it for me. Anyways, these mangas are pretty good quick reads and I just breeze right through them. I hate to say it but they are far more entertaining that the actually anime series. But probably because I can just play the show in my head any way I want. But I can't help but feel that I'm coming to the end of the series. I know there is so much more coming up, but I might be slowly moving into the next stage when they are a little bit older and still looking for Sasuke. I guess the only way to find out is to keep reading.


I got lucky and was able to get three One Piece volumes in one. Kind of convenient when I'm trying to do catch up with this series. I stopped watching the anime just so I could catch up with the manga series and compare. Anyways, the battle against Captain Kuro and his crew has begun. Usopp is going to try everything he can to protect his village. It's all pretty much just review for me right now and it gets a little boring. We all know that the battle is pretty intense. Zoro/Zolo gets his swords taken away by two brothers, but he overcomes the challenge and wins. If I remember correctly. Luffy goes against Captain Kuro and that battle is pretty good. But we finally get to meet Sanji, the next member to join the crew. He is also probably my third favorite character after Zoro/Zolo and Luffy. I do love this series and I love all the recaps I'm getting by reading the manga. Pretty soon, I will be reading the new stuff and finally will be able to compare the two.


First I have to say that I just love the cover of this volume. I'm not sure why, but I find it beautiful. Also I'm a bit sad that I only have two more volumes to read after this one before the whole series comes to an end. Unless there are other volumes that I don't know about. If so, point me in the right direction. Also I don't really remember what happened in the last volume because it took me so long to get this one. It's not easy keeping books straight when you are reading so many. Anyways, Hinami is feeling like she should be helping Kaneki with whatever is on his mind, but everyone is telling her that she can't. Other than being there for him. The Gourmet is still after Kaneki, even if he is playing friendly. Honestly, I don't think he takes any sides other than his own. While they are trying to figure that out the CCG are trying to figure out things of their own. Like that fact that the company might not actually be built to do what the investigators thought it was for. Also some questions get answered. Like who the one eyed ghoul is or at least a little bit about it's background. There really isn't a whole lot I can tell you due to the fact that it would just ruin the series. I suggest you go check out the series if you have not yet. I can say that so far, I'm not too disappointed.

So until next time...

Reding A Game of Thrones

Hey there Bookies,

I really hate to say it but I have to return this book. The time for me to have it in my hands has come to an end. But I'll be sure to request it once again. Right now I hardly made a dent in the book and trust me, I'm trying. There is no way I can finish this book in the time span that I was given. So it is best that I return it to the library and just request it once again. That way I will have more time to read the book. But I will probably only get this book on it's own due to the fact that it's so huge. I just got to the hundreds for the page numbers and it took me like a week to get that far. The writing is small and there is just so much to take in that you have to read it slowly just to absorb all of it. So far the book is following what the the TV series has done. A little bit of differences but it's been so long since I watched the series, I can't remember exactly what the differences are. But I will be sure to request this book once again, but until then I will have to return it and pick up the other books I have at the library.

So until next time....

Started reading A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin

Hello there Bookies,

I have started a new book and it's the book that has inspired the hit series aired on either HBO or Showtime. This book has been waiting patiently for me to read it on my hold list and I finally got it from the library. If you want to know how long it has been waiting, I placed this book on hold before the series even started. It was that long of a wait, along with the fact that I was busy reading other series. But I finally have it and from what I've heard the TV series follows the first book and that is pretty much it.  Anyways, I have ten days to read this book, so let's hope that it can keep my attention so I can finish it on time. Wish me luck everyone.

So until next time...

Done reading Invision

Hello there Bookies,

I'm just flying through this book and I'm getting close to the end. A lot of confusing things happen that make me feel as dumb as Nick and I hope the more I read, the more it makes sense. A lot of information gets thrown into the storyline and apparently, there is a new evil that becomes the destroyer of the world. Meaning Nick is not the bad guy anymore. I'm not going to get into that crazy mess of confusion. Feel free to read all about it if you want. But eventually, they find out what could possibly be draining his powers and find out that it already been taken care of. They find some of the missing friends. Everything seems right as rain, but the epilogue of this book have you begging for the next book. Which I will be requesting as soon as I can. But I loved the book as always. Sherrilyn Kenyon is still probably one of my favorite authors out there. None of her books have disappointed me yet and I've read a lot of them. Anyways, go check out her books and this series if you have not yet. She is an amazing writer that deserves all of the support she gets.

So until next time...

Reading Invision

Hey there Bookies,

I'm about halfway through the book already and a whole lot has happened in that small amount of time. Something is stealing Nick's friends and his powers. Not sure who or how, but I keep reading just to find out. It feels like, with every book that I read in this series, things just get worse for Nick. I would hate to see what the next book holds if the last one almost killed or trapped him for all of eternity. And this book has his powers drained to the point he can die or be enslaved easily. I don't think my heart can take all of this intense situations the characters are put through. I wish I could say more but there really isn't much to say. I know I said a lot has happened, but once you start describing the book, you realize nothing really has gone down. But for some reason, I just really love these books. I think its just because Sherrilyn Kenyon made the characters so relatable and likable.

So until next time...

Started reading Invision by Sherrilyn Kenyon

Hello Bookies,

Would you believe me when I say that I remember nothing about the book before this one? But it's been a while since I read the series and I know that all of these books can pretty much stand on their own with a little bit of confusion. It's all still liveable in the end. Anyways, the book starts with Nick pretty much giving up and eating his sorrows away. Completely understandable when you learn that you will be the destruction for everything you know and kills everything you have ever loved. I would probably do the same thing. Then Nick runs off only to learn that one of his friends is still trapped in the hell realm that they were in during the last book. Nick being the good loyal friend that he is, decides that he has to go back and save them. Anyways, I will have to say that Sherrilyn Kenyon is still probably one of my favorite writers and I just love every character that she has created. I just feel so bad that it has taken me to go back to reading her books. Nick is one of the top faves.

So until next time...

Finished reading Throne of Glass

Hey there Bookies,

Last night I finished the Throne of Glass and I have to be honest here, I'm a little disappointed. The only time the book actually got really interesting is when Celeana was dueling Cain. That was it. I'm kind of hoping the next book will be better, but I'm not having my expectation high for this series. I do like how the lead female character is in the book and I'm hoping she ends up with the Captain of the Gaurd and not the crown prince who annoys me, but that isn't how this is going to go. I just know it. It's like watching a drama and you love the second lead and hope the female lead ends up with him. Even though you know that the female lead is going to end up with the lead male. Choal is probably my most favorite character in the whole book and seems to have the most growth. I wish I could say more about this book, but it feels like nothing really happens. Nothing exciting. Once again I'm disappointed with this book. I expected to be what others were telling me about the book. I was looking for that "can't put it down" moment. But it actually didn't happen. Well, it did happen when I had like ten pages left and I had to put the book down to do things. But that was just because I was so close to finishing the book and just wanted to finish it. Other than that, nothing. But check it out and maybe will you will like it more than me, or maybe you will hate it. I can't say I hated it or love it. I'm probably some of the few that are kind of still on the fence for this book.

So until next time...

Reading Throne of Glass part 2

Hey there Bookies,

I have sixteen days to finish three books and I'm not sure I can do it, but I'm willing to try. So far I am halfway through the Throne of Glass, so I'm making good time.

I'm not sure where I left off when my last update on this book but I can say that the competition has started. I can't see how people don't like the lead female character. Sure she can be a lot to handle, but who isn't? There is a female character in the book that I can't stand and I'm thinking that people are mistaking our lead female character for her. Anyways, the champions have started their tests but also something is killing them in between tests. Our lead female is curious about who or what could be doing such a thing. Especially after she finds a secret passage in her room that leads her to freedom and the tombs of the first king. This is probably where things finally get interesting. It took half of the book but we are finally there. And I'm just reading more to see who or what is killing the champions. Our leading female thinks that it's some kind of ritual sacrifice for something. But she can't know for sure because the symbols being used have no books on them since they were all burned when the new king came into power. Honestly not a smart move on his part. But sadly so far that is the only excitement I have going on in this book. I'm a little disappointed.

So until next time...
