Books I Did Not Finish - 02/09/2013

Hello everyone,

Happy September! It's not really that happy is it because we'll be heading back to school/ college/ university soon which isn't exactly fun. Unless you enjoy school which if you do all power to you I wish I did!

Anyway it's time for another Instalment of Books I Did Not Finish!. And honestly I don't really know why I never finished this book but let's just go with it okay?!

Northern Lights (The Golden Compass)

by

Phillip Pullman

Tagline: There are worlds beyond our own - the compass will show you the way . . .

This book is an international best seller, it's also a major motion picture, so it stands to reason that since I loved fantasy books I would pick this book up and give it a go. In hindsight I shouldn't have because up until that point my experience with this type of fantasy book hadn't been all that great. So it didn't surprise me really when I put it down and never picked it up again.

Books I Did Not Finish! - 05/08/2013

Hello again everyone, how are you this fine Monday. I say fine it's probably raining almost everywhere if the weather reports are trust worthy.

Welcome back to another edition of books I did not finish featuring a series. And a very well known one at that, so popular it became a very successful American TV series. . . .

The Vampire Diaries

by

L. J. Smith

 

Anyone who knows me can tell you that I loved the Vampire Diaries the minute I read it. I read it after Twilight, and was one of the people putting the 'Twi-hards' who claimed it was a copy of Twilight in their place by revealing it was published more than a decade earlier than Twilight. Yes I very much enjoyed that!

The picture above is my copy of the first 2 books The Awakening and The Struggle, yes it is almost identical in cover to Twilight, but honestly the story is better and far less infuriating. 

Books I Did Not Finish! - 29/07/2013

Hello everyone and welcome back to Book's I Did Not Finish!

It's not exactly a happy Monday for me, rain. *sighs* is it raining where you are too? Well don't worry I'm here to cheer up with my ramblings about why I couldn't finish a book. At least I hope it will be somewhat entertaining.

This weeks instalment features another series! Let's here it for all the series out there that started off good but just got worse and worse!

Hush Hush & Crescendo

by

Becca Fitzpatrick

Tagline: A FALLEN ANGEL . . . A FORBIDDEN LOVE

It's another YA paranormal romance! Can't really be anything else can it. I've said it before I'm a sucker for a good love story and when it's a forbidden love story, even better. The difference with this book is that the paranormal side is angels. And I know that's a pretty common 'creature' to use today but when I first picked this book up I hadn't actually read a paranormal book that had angels in it. That is why I originally chose to read it.

Books On My TBR List!

Hello everyone!

Happy Friday! So today I thought I would share some of the books that are currently on my tbr (to be read) list. Who knows maybe some of these will show up again in a books I did not finish or a monthly favourites. Let's dive right in shall we.

Books I Did Not Finish! - 22/07/2013

Hello everyone I can't exactly say happy Monday can I? Mondays are rarely something to be happy about. How was your weekend?

Welcome back to another edition of Books I Did Not Finish. Today's instalment features a series.

Starcrossed 

by 

Josephine Angelini

Tagline: Destiny Brought Them Together The Gods Will Keep Them Apart

I'm not sure if I ever told you that I hate History. Yes I can't stand it, it bores me to tears, all except for two Ancient Egypt and Ancient Greece. When those topics were discussed in history class you can bet your bottom dollar I was paying attention when normally I would be trying to not fall asleep. So this is a retelling/ re-imagining of the Iliad, it's an angst ridden forbidden romance with and Ancient Greek twist, I wanted to read it the first moment I saw it. 

Books I Did Not Finish! - 15/07/2013

Hello everyone and welcome back to Books I did not finish! This is my 3rd post on this topic and today we are going to look at.

The Hollow
by
Jessica Verday

Tagline: A love like no other . . . 

I'm a sucker for a good romance novel, at the time this book was released I was also a sucker for a good paranormal romance novel (curse you Twilight!) I have long since grown out of this stage and I don't think I've read a paranormal romance for over a year so with that in mind it has been a while since I last picked up this book.

Coming Soon! The Mortal Instruments: City Of Bones!

Hello!

Welcome to the Wednesday post. This week with just over a month to go I shall be compiling the trailers, and plot to deliver to you a preview of the upcoming film The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, based on the best selling novels by Cassandra Clare of the same name.

You may remember that in November last year I did a trailer comparison of two films one of which was this film. For a little back ground knowledge on how I feel about this film already you can read that post by clicking here.

Books I Did Not Finish - 08/07/2013

Hello!

Here is the second instalment of books I did not finish. Unlike my first instalment (which was a series) today's is just one book (though it is part of a series, I think it counts because I couldn't even finish the first book). You've heard me mention it before I have never tried to hide the fact I didn't like it.

It's about witches.
A sixteen year old girl.
Recently made into a film.

Can you guess what it is?

Say hello to the best-seller by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl.......
