Diary Entry


December 11th  2014
Less than a month left. I just don't know where the month has gone. So much crazy stuff has happened over the last 11 months. Hopefully next year will be boring so I can get in more reading. 

Blog cover update
I'm just playing but I needed change. I don't know how I feel yet. I think I'm going to keep working on it. I hope to get more updating customizing for before the new year. I'm still tweaking it but I hope to have it ready to go before the new year.  

Bookish updates 
Not close to hitting my goal so I need to read every moment of the day if I'm going to just make my goal. So far not off to a good start. This will be my first year not finishing it unless I sneak a few novella's in at the end. 


Currently reading
Pawn by Aimee Carter 
(Goodreads)

YOU CAN BE A VII. IF YOU GIVE UP EVERYTHING. 

For Kitty Doe, it seems like an easy choice. She can either spend her life as a III in misery, looked down upon by the higher ranks and forced to leave the people she loves, or she can become a VII and join the most powerful family in the country. 

If she says yes, Kitty will be Masked—surgically transformed into Lila Hart, the Prime Minister's niece, who died under mysterious circumstances. As a member of the Hart family, she will be famous. She will be adored. And for the first time, she will matter. 


There's only one catch. She must also stop the rebellion that Lila secretly fostered, the same one that got her killed …and one Kitty believes in. Faced with threats, conspiracies and a life that's not her own, she must decide which path to choose—and learn how to become more than a pawn in a twisted game she's only beginning to understand.

I'm not very far but so far I'm enjoying the book. I'm just a little worried a love triangle is on the horizon which I typically avoid. 

New to me 
I've been exploring some of the urban fantasy/fantasy novels and have come across several that look like must reads. This one sound really interesting and the cover isn't bad. 


Henge by Realm Lovejoy
(Goodreads)

Modern-day Camelot. Where knights no longer carry swords. Magic is dangerous. And those who seek control are not to be trusted.

Sixteen-year-old Morgan le Fay is a fire user. An ordinary girl with an extraordinary skill, she has the ability to create and command fire at will. Her dream is to become the Maven—the right hand of the future King Arthur. In the chance of a lifetime, Morgan is selected to join Arthur’s Round, an elite group of young magic users from which the new Maven will be chosen.

Along with the other fire, water, and wind users in Arthur’s Round, Morgan is rigorously trained and tested. The handsome Merlin, a brilliant water user, takes a particular interest in her. Is his friendship to be trusted, or is Merlin simply trying to win the position of Maven for himself? Among the many rivals Morgan faces is the current Maven, Mordred, who seems determined to see her fail.


But Morgan has a secret—years ago, her mother was executed for using fire magic, and Morgan’s desire for justice makes her more than ready to take on the challenge before her. Can she prevail in Camelot’s tests of survival and magic? Only time—and Morgan’s powerful fire—will tell.

Beautiful Covers
I tend to gravitate to beautiful covers. I wanted to share one of my new favorites.
Relish by Kate Evangelista (Goodreads) - One of my favorite series that I happen to be impatiently wait for to come out. 

Goals
I'm scedualling blog posts which is new for me. I kind of like it. It's still new I typically pre write them the day before or mull them over for weeks than share them. With the upcoming holidays I don't know how much time I'll have so I want to get them done early. 

What are you reading?

  1. Pawn does have a little bit of a love triangle, but to me it's not as bad as others. I also heard that in the next book Captive there is not much romance at all..so don't know if that helps or not. :)

    I'm not sure what to make of that Relish cover...I'm not liking it to much..what is that thing on her head..is that really a hat? LOL :)
