Let's Get Personal #30

 Hello Bookies,

My reading mood has changed right when I started a new book. I guess I'm no longer into fantasy books. Even after I just got a whole bunch to read. But I refuse to return Onyx Storm because I will listen to that book and get caught up with the series. Anyway I think my new reading mood might have to do with the fact that Halloween decorations are starting to come out now. It's spooky season and now I'm in the mood for spooky and suspense. Books that will get the heart rate going, or something like that. So I had to return all of my books that I had just checked out because there is no point keeping them if I'm not in the mood to read them and won't enjoy the story. But I did pick up a new book for the new mood I am in and once I am a little further, I will update you on that book. I literally just started the book and I'm only a few pages in. Not enough to share yet. Maybe after work today. 

So until next time....

Started reading The Serpent and the Wings of Night by Carissa Broadbent

 

Hey there Bookies,

Since I have to wait for a book to come in, I grabbed this one off the shelves at work. I'm not sure what this book is about but it has vampires in it. Also according to the tags on Goodreads this book is also a romance fantasy. I've read the first three chapters. Well the prologue and two chapters and learned that our main character is a girl that was adopted by the vampire king after her family was killed. That was about it. Being a fantasy, I'm sure we have to go through some world building before anything interesting happens. My goal is to finish actually reading a book instead of relying on audiobooks. Wish me luck.

So until next time...

Finished reading Iron Flame

 

Hello Bookies,

I have finished the book. Nothing like an intense battle to keep you glued to the book. And, of course the book ends with a cliff hanger. Now I have to wait for the third book to come in so I can see what happens to Xaden since he made a sacrifice in order to keep Violet alive. What that sacrifice is, is something you will have to read the book to find out. Also Violet nearly sacrificed herself in order to protect Xaden. Luckily neither of them died or the series would be over. Instead Violet's mom takes on the sacrifice to save her children. Now I just want to know what happens next and see what the third book is going to be focused around. Probably trying to find a way to reverse Xaden's sacrifice. Or, trying to learn more about what breed Violet's other dragon is since they are the only of their kind. I'm ready for the third book but I will have to wait until it comes in since I requested it when I was almost done with this one. Again, I can see why the hype about this series was so intense. I do enjoy it and it has enough going on too keep you engaged. Would recommend it to people but sadly it only gets four stars out of five because even with the sacrifices that took place, I felt nothing. No tears but that could be we are killing off characters that aren't entirely introduced and bonded to the reader.

So until next time...

Listening to Iron Flame

 

Hello Bookies,

Well I broke my keyboard on my laptop. Luckily we have spare keyboards laying around the house that I can use one of them so I can keep you updated on my reading. After DNFing so many books because my reading slump is really hard to get out of, I finally got new batteries for my audiobook. I'm about three fourths through the book now and I don't know if there will be another post after this one. Depends if anything big happens or if I want to spoil any of the book. Right now Violet has broken free from the one character that made me so frustrated with the book. Well she almost died, had Xaden save her, and then she killed that one character. Then she ended up taking half of the school with her when they flew off back to Xaden's home. Now she is living every day as a student and also trying to help prepare for a war that is about to begin. Including being forced to interact with Xaden's ex-girlfriend. Which is not easy when she can amplify Violet's emotions. I had to take a break after Violet nearly killed her and then Xaden had to prove that he only has feelings for Violet. It was pretty intense. Also it doesn't help when I have to keep pausing because my family doesn't know what wearing headphones means. Also I would probably be finished with this book by now if I didn't have to keep rewinding it to find where I left off because I fall asleep listening to it. Note to self, stop laying down when reading. I really enjoy this series so far. The romance isn't in my face and it has enough action taking place that it keeps me engaged with the story. I can see what all of the hype is about.

So until next time....
