Tidbit- Music I'm loving

Hello all! It's been a few days since I've posted anything, so it feels a little strange updating with something non-book related! But anyway, I don't know about you but I feel that having soft, quiet music on in the background while reading is so relaxing. So I thought that because it'll be a couple of days before I review the new book I received yesterday, I'd share some of my favorite songs and artists right now. My taste in music changes sometimes, but I always adore ''indie'' bands and music that really comes from an artist's heart. So these are a few songs that I can't get enough of lately.



"Fall" by Ed  Sheeran

"Helena Beat" by Foster the People

 
"Little Talks" by Of Monsters and Men

Those are just a few songs that I'm adoring right now but there are so many more exceptional artists out there. What are you listening to lately? I love finding new music so let me know! 


Have a good night.. or day depending on where you are!

What do you think? The Infernal Devices- Cassandra Clare

Hey guys! I've been attempting to start reading ''Clockwork Angel" by Cassandra Clare, book 1 of the Infernal Devices, but I just can't seem to start it! I think it's because I prefer reading books written in 'first person' rather than 'third person' but I'm usually able to get through that. Now, I know it says it is the prequel to 'the Mortal Instruments' series, but should I read those first? I'm more than willing to give 'City of Bones' a try, because I really want to like these books! Please comment below if you've read these books and let me know what you think! I have heard so many different opinions on these books, both good and bad.
Also, I'm going to try and rearrange my book review formats a little bit, so that'll be starting up when I begin my "series" of 'Vampire Academy' reviews.
I know I don't have many followers, but I'm really excited about the fact that it's been a week and I already have five!


Talk to you soon!

Destined by P.C. Cast + Kristin Cast

I literally JUST finished 'Destined' and I'm happy to say I really enjoyed the second half of the book. I'm so glad I decided to pick it up again! Although I didn't re-read the first half, I did remember most of it once I started reading it again. I hope you don't mind but I won't be doing my own personal summary on this one, because so much happens at the end of the book that I just can't describe the plot without giving away a TON!

Here's what I found on the HON website: 

"In Destined, the forces of Light and Dark collide as their epic struggle focuses on Tulsa’s House of Night. Zoey is home where she belongs, safe with her Guardian Warrior, Stark, by her side – and preparing to face off against Neferet. Kalona has released his hold on Rephaim, and, through Nyx’s gift of a human form, he and Stevie Rae are finally able to be together – if Rephaim can truly walk the path of the Goddess and stay free of his father’s shadow.
But is Zoey really safe? Does she truly know those who are closest to her? And will love win when it is tested by the very soul of Darkness? Find out what’s destined in the next thrilling chapter of the House of Night series"

So like I said before in my HON post, it's taken a while to get through this book, because so much has happened in the last books that it's hard to keep track of where they are, who's alive and who's good and who's evil. I was totally confused about some of the stuff with Eric in the beginning and with the new girl Shaylin. They really only made one or two appearances if I recall correctly. But all-in-all it was once again a great book by the Cast team. Zoey reminded me of my BFF and Stevie-Rae reminded me of myself once again, so that was something to put a smile on my face. I'm now extremely excited for the next book to come out, because I want to Neferet getting her butt kicked!

Let me know what you thought of this book and if you're excited for the next one to come out, or if you're getting tired of all of it. And would you like me to do reviews for all of the books or just certain ones?

Have a great day!

Tidbit! EXAMS!!!

      For those of you that are going to be doing your finals for this semester I thought I'd share this totally true Calvin and Hobbes comic to cheer on those 'math atheists' out there. 

For all other subjects... All I've got are my 'Good Lucks' and 'You can do it's'! Have many of you already done them? I don't know how it is in different parts of the country.. nor the world.



Comment below with helpful study tips, even if you're taking exams for high school or college, or not! They'd be greatly appreciated by me and anyone else who could use them probably! I personally love making cue-cards. How about you?

(P.S. Tomorrow's only 150 days to Golden Lily! I'm so ecstatic!)

What do you think? House Of Night - P.C & Kristin Cast

Visit the website~ http://houseofnightseries.com/
Yay or nay? What do you guys think of this series? I fell in love with it at first, but now that I'm trying to get through the NINTH book, it's getting a little long in my opinion... what do you think? As I'm trying to get through 'Destined' I'm becoming more and more confused about what's happened in the last few books.. I think I need to re-read!! :I'm sure that then I'll fall back in love with it. I hope! I'll try and do a review once I'm done Destined though.

That's all for today!
Let me know what you think about this series! Love it or not so much??
