All Hannah needs is a nice and quiet vacation after her first year of teaching French at a high school. She joins her brother Ben for the summer in their mom’s log cabin in Arizona. There, she meets Josh again, Ben’s childhood friend from the Navajo reservation. The little boy from the rez has grown up fast, and Hannah can’t help but feeling more for him than just friendship.

But fate apparently has something else in store for her. And it’s not peace and quiet. Night after night, Hannah is plagued by strange nightmares about the past of Navajo Nation and terrifying shadows chasing her. They seem to come closer – and why is Josh always present in her dreams?

Sometimes, the past has a way of catching up with you.

First of all, my compliments to Jen Minkman for the way she wrote this book. There's no way to tell that a dutchie wrote and translated this book herself. Great job!

So, the story. It's very intriguing and definitely original. I've never read anything like it. The characters in the book are all very likable. Hannah doesn't come off as a 23-year old, but that didn't really bother me. I also adored Josh. He’s such a sweet guy, it’s impossible not to like him.

The reasons I can't give this book 5 stars is because even though I enjoyed the story, I think it was a bit too long. The part when you read about Josh' past two lives actually bored me a little bit. That's why Shadow of Time is getting 4 stars from me. It's a great book and I loved how Minkman makes you really feel like you are actually there at the Navajo reservation even though she hasn't even been in the United States herself. I'm looking forward to Jen Minkmans next books!

Just a small note for all the dutch readers: Jen Minkmans boek Back to School is nu ook hier te verkrijgen als ebook. Ook de moeite waard om te lezen!

She must rise, or they will fall ...Helen's powers are increasing--and so is the distance between her and her mortal friends. To make matters worse, the Oracle reveals that a dangerous traitor is lurking among them, and all fingers point to Orion. Still unsure whether she loves him or Lucas, Helen is forced to make a terrifying decision, or risk all-out war.

I always saw the Greek gods as good, but after reading this trilogy, I'm seeing them in a completely different way. My favorite god was Hades, surprisingly. This book was a good ending to the series, although after reading it I kind of feel like Angelini is keeping her options open, she can easily write a fourth book if she wants too.  

What I didn't like was that it took so damn long for Daphne to finally admit the truth to Helen about her and Lucas and I was sad that there wasn't much time for romance because of the big war. But there were still some cute moments. I especially liked Orion's HEA. The whole Matt thing was a bit confusing for me and I didn't really like that twist. But it was still a very cool book. It made me want to read more books with Greek mythology in it! 

4 stars for Goddess.

Review: Dreamless by Josephine Angelini

As the only Scion who can descend into the Underworld, Helen Hamilton has been given a nearly impossible task. By night she wanders through Hades, trying to stop the endless cycle of revenge that has cursed her family. By day she struggles to overcome the fatigue that is rapidly eroding her sanity. Without Lucas by her side, Helen is not sure she has the strength to go on.

Just as Helen is pushed to her breaking point, a mysterious new Scion comes to her rescue. Funny and brave, Orion shields her from the dangers of the Underworld. But time is running out—a ruthless foe plots against them, and the Furies’ cry for blood is growing louder.

As the ancient Greek world collides with the mortal one, Helen’s sheltered life on Nantucket descends into chaos. But the hardest task of all will be forgetting Lucas Delos.

The day after I finished Starcrossed, I rushed to the store to buy Dreamless. I was completely addicted to this series. My mistake, is that I didn't buy Goddess, because boy do I want to read that book now! 

Dreamless is a very awesome book. I love the Greek mythology that's going on in the story. I felt like there was less of Lucas and Helen's family, which is too bad because Jerry cracks me up. The whole underworld thing was kind of scary, especially the consequences it had for Helen, but the presence of new hottie Orion made up for that. What I also still adore about these books is Helen. She's such a badass and she's not even at her full strength yet. 

The thing that makes me not give the book 5 stars is the fact that Daphne has the whole book to tell Lucas and Helen they're not related, but she just doesn't tell them. What kind of a mother does that?? It's really annoying and Angelini better make up for it in the third and final book.

Destiny brought them together.

The gods will keep them apart.

When shy, awkward Helen Hamilton meets Lucas Delos for the first time, she thinks two things: the first, that he is the most ridiculously beautiful boy she has seen in her life; the second, that she wants to kill him with her bare hands.

An ancient curse means Lucas and Helen are destined to loathe one another. But sometimes love is stronger than hate, and not even the gods themselves can prevent what will happen next...

I absolutely love YA's with greek mythology. When I started this book I had no idea what it was about so I was pleasantly surprised. The first time Helen and Lucas meet was so awesome. I love how badass Helen was in that moment. But I've got to say, those furies really scared the crap out of me..

Starcrossed is a very original book. I can't compare it to anything, and I don't even want to. It's an amazing book and you will be completely absorbed in it from the start. I read it for the read-a-thon so I finished it within a day, but even if I would've read it at any other time, I still would have been so addicted that couldn't do anything but read.  In the beginning I didn't like that Helen was so incredibly shy that she even got cramps when people looked at her, so I'm glad that eventually you find out the reason for that. Lucas and his family are great. I loved all of them.

At the end of the book, a few devastating things happen, some of which really bothered me, that's why it's getting 4,5 stars instead of 5. The day after I finished Starcrossed, I bought the sequel: Dreamless. I can't wait to see how this story will continue. Josephine Angeline has turned me into an addict.

Filling Up The Weekend (8)

Don't know what to read? Here are a few tips to get you through the weekend.

Womens Fiction: Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult

I was very impressed by this book. When I started reading it, I couldn't stop. And it has an ending that blew me away. Definitely a must-read!

Young Adult: Shatter Me (#1) by Tahereh Mafi

I've read this last year and I still remember how much I loved it. It was a 5 star book, without a doubt. Most of you YA lovers have probably already read it, but if you haven't: please read it soon! You will not be disappointed!

Fantasy: Darkfever (Fever #1) by Karen Marie Moning

Once you get into the story, you won't be able to stop reading. I read all five of the Fever books in a row. They just kept getting better and better!

Young Adult: Poison Study (Study #1) by Maria V. Snyder

Another great YA. I've only read the first book in this series but the ending leaves you wanting more, so the second book, Magic Study, is very high on my wishlist.

My Wishlist Wednesday (17)

It's been awhile since my last wishlist, so in the meantime my list grow a lot longer. Keep reading if you want to know which books I'm dying to buy!

Young Adult: The 5th Wave (#1) by Rick Yancey
Ever since I saw Rick Yancey in real life at a booksigning, I've been very curious about his books. This one is supposed to be really great so I'm definitely going to read it. I hope his books are as great as Yancey himself.

Romance: Destined to Play (Avalon Trilogy #1) by Indigo Bloome
When I saw this book, my first thought was: Another E.L. James wannabe? But the synopsis intrigued me, and even though the ratings on Goodreads aren't all that great, I'm still going to read it. Stubborn is my middle name after all...

Romance: Mirror (Luke #1) by Cassia Leo
I don't like short stories or novella's, simply because they're too damn short. But this series is getting so many great reviews that I put on my wishlist despite my aversion towards short stories.

Young Adult: Angelfire (#1) by Courtney Allison Moulton
Goodreads recommended this book to me because I loved Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini. Well okay then, if Angelfire is as good as the Starcrossed series, I'm definitely going to enjoy it! 

Review: Midnight Frost by Jennifer Estep

Title: Midnight Frost (Mythos Academy #5)

Author: Jennifer Estep

Pages: 372

ISBN: 9780758281494

Genre: Young Adult

First Published: July 2013

Buy It: Bookdepository

Just when it seems life at Mythos Academy can’t get any more dangerous, the Reapers of Chaos manage to prove me wrong. It was just a typical night at the Library of Antiquities — until a Reaper tried to poison me. The good news is I’m still alive and kicking. The bad news is the Reaper poisoned someone else instead.

As Nike’s Champion, everyone expects me to lead the charge against the Reapers, even though I’m still hurting over what happened with Spartan warrior Logan Quinn. I’ve got to get my hands on the antidote fast — otherwise, an innocent person will die. But the only known cure is hidden in some creepy ruins — and the Reapers are sure to be waiting for me there …

A few months ago, I came across this series and because anything supernatural that involves an academy draws my attention, so I started reading. And I kept on reading until I finished the first four of the books. Then, a little while ago, I saw that the fifth book was out and I tried my luck on Netgalley. I was very very happy when I was approved for Midnight Frost.

Just like the other four books, it's action packed and has lots of humor. There wasn't much Loki in this books, for which I'm glad, because in these books he's much scarier than Tom Hiddleston in Thor. Something I didn't like about this book is that it took forever until Logan finally came back into the story. Other than that, this is a great book. I loved the Gryphons and Eir. Also, I hope we will see more of Rory. I always love badass female characters.

The battle between good and evil has left the future of humanity in the hands of a reluctant saviour and his band of fallen angels. Seven deadly sins that must be righted. Seven souls that must be saved. While his first task was success, Jim Heron is battling a demon that can take any form for the soul of someone he must identify on his own. If that weren't enough, his old boss Matthias wants Jim to assassinate an AWOL member of The Firm - Isaac, the man Jim is pretty sure he is supposed to save. Jim knows first hand that once you're in The Firm, there's no getting out. But when Jim finds Isaac to warn him, he has been picked up by the police for illegal street fighting, and it is clear that Isaac is falling for his gorgeous public defender. Is their love the redemption that will save Isaac's soul? Or has the demon Devina set an elaborate trap?

It took me awhile to get into, but eventually I got hooked. Jim is trying to save Isaac, someone he knows from his past. Isaac, another tortured hero is in jail and falls for his DA, Grier. Of course you knew how it was going to end between those two, but the biggest question was, would Jim be able to save Isaac's soul, so he wins from Devina again.

I wasn't really able to connect with Jim in this book, although I did love Dog. The one who I'm most intrigued by, is actually Adrian. I want to know and read more about him. Maybe in one of the next books? Some parts of the book were a bit too long, but the surprising twist near the ending made sure I just had to keep reading. Oh and by the way, a corpse sending a text message? That was super creepy.

I hate comparing books from the same writer that basically have nothing to do with each other, but for BDB fans: I've found that this series is much darker and has less humor. If you just finished one of the BDB books, don't read this right after, because your expectations are going to be too high. 

Filling Up The Weekend (6)

It's been awhile since the last edition of Filling Up The Weekend, I had a few other fun blog posts on friday, but now I'm finally back with some tips for you all to read this weekend.

Young Adult: Touch of Frost (Mythos Academy #1) by Jennifer Estep
If you love Greek and Norse mythology, then you should definitely read this series. But be warned, it's highly addictive! For me it was impossible to stop reading after I finished the first book.

Chick lit/Young Adult: The Look by Sophia Bennett
This book is funny, entertaining and I love the message it sends to all the readers. Everyone who has ever dreamed of a modeling career, especially you girls should read The Look.

Chick lit: Wedding Night by Sophie Kinsella
I have to be honest with you, I haven't read this one yet. But come on, it's a stand alone Sophie Kinsella. You know it's going to be good. 

Paranormal Romance: Succubus Blues (Georgina Kincaid #1) by Richelle Mead
This series is very underappreciated. That's why I'm asking you all to please read it. Georgina Kincaid is one of my favorite female book characters. She's a real badass and you're definitely going to like her. 

BIG MOVIE NEWS!!

So, guess which book is headed to the big screen?!! 

That's right: Obsidian by Jennifer L. Armentrout!!

I can't tell you how excited I am about this. Well, I can try to show you..

Sierra Affinity is going to finance and produce the movie. Now, since this all just happened, there isn't much other news. It's going to take a while before they will start looking for actors but the most important thing is, eventually Obsidian will actually become a movie. How awesome is that??

I'm already super curious about who they're gonna cast. Can't they just ask the cover model, Pepe Toth, if he can act?? No? Okay, well then they better find an awesomely hot actor, because that's just what Daemon is: H-O-T!

For those of you who haven't read this series, you really really should. I devoured the first three books within a few days at the beginning of this year. Now I'm very impatiently waiting for the fourth book: Origin, which comes out at the end of August. The fifth and last book comes out in 2014. I don't even want to think about the fact that we have to wait so freaking long before we can finally read how it's going to end between Daemon and Katy.

Anyways, here's what the first book, Obsidian, is about:

Starting over sucks.

When we moved to West Virginia right before my senior year, I'd pretty much resigned myself to thick accents, dodgy internet access, and a whole lot of boring.... until I spotted my hot neighbor, with his looming height and eerie green eyes. Things were looking up.

And then he opened his mouth.

Daemon is infuriating. Arrogant. Stab-worthy. We do not get along. At all. But when a stranger attacks me and Daemon literally freezes time with a wave of his hand, well, something...unexpected happens.

The hot alien living next door marks me.

You heard me. Alien. Turns out Daemon and his sister have a galaxy of enemies wanting to steal their abilities, and Daemon's touch has me lit up like the Vegas Strip. The only way I'm getting out of this alive is by sticking close to Daemon until my alien mojo fades.

If I don't kill him first, that is..

Intrigued? I know you are, so go buy it, quickly! You're not gonna regret it, I promise! 

If you want to know more about Obsidian becoming a movie, check out Jennifer L. Armentrout's website. (It's also the place to go to for more Supernatural gifs hehe)

So what do you think about this huge news? Are you as excited as I am?

Review: Blood Promise by Richelle Mead

MAJOR spoilers ahead!

DIMITRI'S HEART HAS GONE DARK.

Now Rose must journey to the ends of the earth to find - and kill - her one true love....

Or has the time come to join him?

My heart shattered. My world shattered.

You will lose what you value most....

It wasn't my life.... It wasn't even Dimitri's life.

What you value most.

It was his soul.

If you haven't read the VA series yet, you shouldn't be reading this review! So go buy the books right now, read them, and then come back. It'll be worth it, I promise!

For those of you who don't know me that well, I should tell you that Vampire Academy is my favorite series. I like it so much, that if I could choose one book series to bring with me to a desert island, it would be this one. I would keep reading these books for the rest of my life and never get sick of them, that's how much I like them.

Anyway, I reread Blood Promise for the July Sequel Month, because it's my favorite book in the series. It's beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time, because Dimitri is a Strigoi and Rose sets out to kill him. Kill the love of her life. Not an easy task, and maybe even an impossible task. Because Dimitri was already stronger than Rose when he was still a Dhampir, now that he's a Strigoi? Rose could very well lose her life to Dimitri. 

My favorite part of the book is when Dimitri has Rose captured. There's still some of the old Dimitri inside and that made me wish there was a chance for them to somehow be together. Impossible of course, a Strigoi can't leave a Dhampir like that. So Dimitri gives Rose a choice: Either she let's Dimitri change her willingly, or he'll do it by force...

Blood Promise ended way too fast. After I finished it, I wanted to reread the rest of the series too, I could have foreseen that, but I don't have time to reread all of them, unfortunately. In a few months I will definitely make time! I don't think it's a surprise that I gave Blood Promise 5 stars. This book is what made Richelle Mead on of my favorite writers. It's well written, keeps you hooked from page one, makes you laugh and cry and has the perfect mix of suspense, romance and action. I absolutely adore it.

My Wishlist Wednesday (13)

So, it's still July, which means it's still Sequel Month. Which means, this Wishlist Wednesday is going to be filled with sequels. Keep reading if you want to know which sequels are high on my wishlist.

Paranormal Romance: The King (Black Dagger Brotherhood #12) by J.R. Ward
If you're a fan of Paranormal Romance and you haven't read the BDB series yet, shame on you! These books are seriously awesome. All those badass vampires.. Sigh!

Young Adult: The Fiery Heart (Bloodlines #4) by Richelle Mead
Bloodlines is a great spin off from the Vampire Academy series. I was always fond of Adrian and I'm happy he's found someone he likes more than Rose. He deserves happiness, and I'm anxious to see if he's finally going to get it in this book!

Young Adult: Midnight Frost (Mythos Academy #5) by Jennifer Estep
I've read the first four books right after eachother. It only took me a few days to read them because they were so addictive. Can hardly wait to get my hands on the fifth book!

Young Adult: Origin (Lux #4) by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Lux is the best series I've read so far this year. I don't even remember who was responsible for me buying Obsidian, but whoever it was, THANK YOU!!

Book Challenge: July Sequel Month

Today I was invited by Kim from the dutch blog Daily Kim to join her book challenge. She's gonna read sequels only for the rest of this month. And I actually think that's a really good idea! I still have soooooo many sequels on my to-read pile and sometimes I keep postponing reading those books until I forgot what the series was about, and then I need to read the prequel first. Anyway, it's better to read them as soon as possible. So I picked out a few of the sequels I still have to read:

- Crave (Fallen Angels #2) by J.R. Ward

- Seizure (Virals #2) by Kathy Reichs and Brendan Reichs

- Sweet Little Lies (L.A. Candy #2) by Lauren Conrad

- The Last Little Blue Envelope (Little Blue Envelope #2) by Maureen Johnson

I'm gonna read the Dutch version of this book, but you will still be able to read my review here in English.

- Blood Promise (Vampire Academy #4) by Richelle Mead (reread)

- Pretties (Uglies #2) by Scott Westerfeld

I'm not sure if I can finish all of these, or maybe even read more, but stay tuned so you can read all of the reviews here in the next few weeks!

In the mean time, feel free to join this challenge and let me know what books you read!

Filling Up The Weekend (5)

Yaaaay it's weekend again. And a very special weekend at that, because it's my last weekend before I'm gonna start working again. The eight months I spend in New York and one month back home (being lazy) have spoiled me a bit. So much time to read and do other stuff that I like. But, until I win the lottery, I'm gonna have to work. Otherwise I won't be able to buy new books anymore! Here are a few tips from me to entertain you this weekend: 

Young Adult: Shadow of Time by Jen Minkman

I haven't read this book yet but the story sounds interesting and it has a lot of great reviews on Goodreads. Also, look at the pretty cover! 

Chick lit: Fancy Pants by Susan Elizabeth Phillips

If you're a chick lit lover and you haven't read anything by SEP yet, shame on you! She's one of my favorite writers and all of her books are amazing. This book is the start of the Wynette, Texas series. You can read the book as a stand alone book, but you can also keep reading the series if you love it as much as I do.

New Adult: Falling Into You by Jasinda Wilder

This sounds like a really good book. Not your typical romance book, but with lots of drama, pain and even death. A beautiful book, according to Goodreads. Definitely have to read it soon, are you gonna read it with me?

Young Adult: Angel by L.A. Weatherly

Just like vampire books, there are also lots of angel books out there. I haven't read a lot that I really like, but the Angel series is amazing. The first one seriously impressed me and the second one was even better! Definitely worth buying! 

Review: Talented by Sophie Davis

Title: Talented (#1)
Author: Sophie Davis
Pages: 316
ISBN: 9781618429940
Genre: Young Adult
First Published: January 2012
Buy It: Amazon

When Talia Lyons was just a child, her parents were murdered before her eyes. Offered a choice between accepting their fate and exacting revenge, Talia trains to become one of the country’s deadliest assassins in order to kill the man responsible for their deaths: Ian Crane. Luckily, Talia was born with a gift- the ability to read and influence the minds of others. At sixteen, Talia is poised to graduate from the McDonough School for the Talented, where she learned to control her abilities. Now there is only one obstacle standing between her and the retribution she craves... Talia herself.

She must regain the single-minded determination that has brought her this far, or it may cost Talia her life when she finally faces Crane. And even after being molded in to a weapon of war, she’ll still have to find the strength it takes to pull the trigger.

Talented hooked me from page one. It's an original dystopian story about a world in which a lot of people are born with a talent. Talia has mind power but there are also people who can morph into animals, or people whose brains are faster than the best technology. Talia has two teammates, Henri who's a morph and Erik, who's a mimic. He can copy the talent of people around him. Pretty awesome talent right? And the guy himself is pretty awesome too. I was team Erik from the start. Unfortunately Talia and her boyfriend Donovan have been dating since they were kids so that's a bummer. There's just something about Donovan that irks me. And the ending of the book only made it worse. Talk about a cliffhanger!

There's something about me that should know. I loooooove big books. It's just that, if I read a big book, I want it to keep me hooked. Talented couldn't always do that (and it's not even thát big). There were a lot of moments in this book where Talia was training alone or with Henry and Erik and I felt like the writer could have skipped some of the training to keep the story interesting. 

Nevertheless I enjoyed this book very much. I don't read a lot of dystopian but I'm glad I read this one. The cliffhanger left me wanting for more, and I can't wait to read more about Erik. And Talia of course!

My Wishlist Wednesday (11)

While I'm lying by the pool and enjoying the sun in Turkey, (no I'm not trying to make you jealous at all!) I have a new wishlist for you.

Young Adult: The Secret Society of the Pink Crystal Ball (THEBW #1) by Risa Green
Almost everyone on Goodreads calls it a cute and funny story. Made me curious of course, I'm not one to turn down cute stories! 

New Adult: Moving Neutral (Moving Neutral #1) by Katy Atlas
The cover caught my attention. A microphone, does that mean sexy rockstars?   Why, yes it does! The storyline seems a little farfetched, (girl stands in line for coffee before going to a concert of her favorite band, and then the lead guitarist suddenly stands in line behind her to sweep her of her feet) but as long as the book involves rockstars, I'm in.

Chick lit: Wedding Night by Sophie Kinsella
There are a few chick lit writers who's books are always an auto-buy for me. Sophie Kinsella is one of them. Although I really didn't like her Shopaholic series, all of her standalone books are lovely.

Paranormal Romance: Stray (Shifters #1) by Rachel Vincent
Goodreads is seriously one of the best websites ever. I don't know where I'd be without all the great recommendations. I recently found Stray, a book about werecats. That's a new one. It sounds very interesting, can't wait to start reading it. Thank you goodreads!

My Wishlist Wednesday (10)

During my last few weeks in New York, it was strictly forbidden for me to buy more books, because I'd already bought a LOT and books aren't exactly light. I even had to leave a few behind because my suitcases were completely full and already slightly too heavy. So when I moved back home last week, my mind was immediately thinking: YAY! Now I can buy books again!! Fortunately I came to my senses when I saw all the books I have in my room, that I still have to read. (The sight of all those piles of books will make anyone come to their senses, believe me) But before my brain caught up with me, I'd already thought of a few books I was gonna order first. Keep reading if you want to know which books I was thinking of.

Young Adult: Stealing Phoenix (Benedicts #2) by Joss Stirling

After reading the Dutch translation of the first book in this series, I knew I had to read the second one in English. (I'm not really a big fan of Dutch translations) The reason why I want to read this book so soon is because I love, love, love the Dutch publisher of this book. They're always so enthusiastic about their books, which makes me want to read all of them. I just hope they don't mind I'm gonna read the original version, and not the one they've published.

Paranormal/Chick lit: Kiss and Spell (Enchanted Inc. #7) by Shanna Swendson

There's something you should know about me and this series. I thought there were only gonna be four books. Back in september I was just looking around on Goodreads, and discovered there was a fifth book, and in october there was a sixth book coming out. This might give you an idea on how I felt about that discovery:

Last month my reaction was similar when I found out there was a seventh book. Even though the first four books were obviously better than their sequels, this series remains one of my absolute favorites. I can never reread it enough.

Paranormal Romance: Shadow of Night (All Souls Trilogy #2) by Deborah Harkness

I have to be honest with you, I'm gonna read this book in Dutch. As you've read above, I normally don't like to read Dutch translations, but the first book was so complex, that I immediately knew that I would never be able to read it if it weren't in Dutch. I'm kind of sad about that, but I want to understand every single word of this book, and with all the complicated terms that's gonna be hard when it's in english. 

Young Adult: Foretold (The Demon Trappers #4) by Jana Oliver

One of the most badass series. I wish more people would write about demons! This fourth and final book has been calling my name for months, so I don't know how long I'm gonna be able to keep ignoring it... And btw, don't you just love the cover, with all the pretty colors?

I have to admit, writing this blog post made my fingers itch. I know I can't postpone ordering these books for long. They're all so awesome. I NEED THEM!!

My Wishlist Wednesday (9)

A person can never have enough books. So it doesn't matter how many books I have on my shelves, I always want more. In this segment of my blog you can read what books are on my wishlist.

Young Adult: This Is What Happy Looks Like by Jennifer E. Smith

Honestly, I don't read a lot of contemporary YA's, but this one immediately caught my attention. The synopsis sounds great and I'm pretty sure this book is really good. (If not, I'm gonna be really sad)

Paranormal/Fantasy: Gameboard of the Gods (Age of X #1) by Richelle Mead

Whenever Richelle releases a new book, I don't even have to know what's it about. Everything she writes is awesome and so this book will be in my possession very soon!

New Adult: Fallen Too Far (Too Far #1) by Abbi Glines

I just came across this book on Goodreads and it looks very intriguing. I'm a sucker for forbidden love and all that stuff. Can't wait to read this one.

Chick lit: Body Check (New York Blades #1) by Deirdre Martin

Goodreads recommended this book to me because I read almost all of Susan E. Phillips' books, and since I'm a huge SEP fan, this book has to be good too. I love sports romances! 

Filling Up The Weekend (4)

If you're like me, and have countless books but still have no idea what to read sometimes, here are some tips for you to read during those fantastic days called The Weekend:

Young Adult: Firelight (Firelight #1) by Sophie Jordan

If you haven't started reading this series, you definitely should. This was one of the best books I read last year. 

Paranormal Romance: Enchanted Inc. (Enchanted Inc. #1) by Shanna Swendson

This is one of my favorite series. The first four are better than the others though, but don't let that stop you from reading it. The books are very entertaining and funny.

Chick lit: The Single Girl's To-Do List by Lindsey Kelk

Although this book starts kind of slow, it eventually makes up for it. I'm ashamed to admit I haven't read the "I heart" series, but if it's as good as this book, I will love it.

Young Adult: Talented (Talented #1) by Sophie Davis

I'm actually reading this book now and it's really good. For those of you with a kindle, you can get it here for free, so get it soon, 'cause all of you YA lovers are definitely gonna enjoy it!

My Wishlist Wednesday (7)

A person can never have enough books. So it doesn't matter how many books I have on my shelves, I always want more. In this segment of my blog you can read what books are high on my wishlist.

Young Adult: The Iron Daughter (The Iron Fey #2) by Julie Kagawa

The thing I like most about this series is the covers. They are all so pretty! That's reason enough for me to want to see the whole series on my shelf.

Paranormal Romance: Red-Headed Stepchild (Sabina Kane #1) by Jaye Wells

I love books with fierce main characters. And since Sabina is an assassin, you can't get much fiercer than that!

New Adult: Love Evolution (Black Cat Records #1) by Michelle Mankin

If I can be brutally honest, I think the cover of this book looks so cheap and ugly that it would definitely put me off, if the story didn't involve rock stars. (That's why I didn't add the cover to this blogpost)

Chick lit: The Gift by Cecelia Ahern

Although I haven't read any books by Ahern yet, I loved the movie adaptation of P.S. I Love You, and that made me curious about her books. And no, I don't care that it's almost summer and this is a christmas book!
