The Maze Runner by James Dashner
Hello Everyone!
After finding out that there was going to be a film of The Maze Runnerand looking at stills of Dylan O'Brien I promptly decided that I was going to read this book, so I went out and bought it....though I shouldn't have since I have around 12 books to read at the moment...
Title: The Maze Runner
Author: James Dashner
Series: Maze Runner #1
Published: October 6th 2009
No. of Pages: 374
When Thomas wakes up in the lift, the only thing he can remember is his first name. His memory is blank. But he’s not alone. When the lift’s doors open, Thomas finds himself surrounded by kids who welcome him to the Glade—a large, open expanse surrounded by stone walls.
Just like Thomas, the Gladers don’t know why or how they got to the Glade. All they know is that every morning the stone doors to the maze that surrounds them have opened. Every night they’ve closed tight. And every thirty days a new boy has been delivered in the lift.
Thomas was expected. But the next day, a girl is sent up—the first girl to ever arrive in the Glade. And more surprising yet is the message she delivers.
Thomas might be more important than he could ever guess. If only he could unlock the dark secrets buried within his mind. (-Goodreads)

My Reading List (10)
Hello Everyone!
Yes, I did just do a bookhaul yesterday....and yes, I have just bought three more books...Still, I HAVE NO REGRETS.
.JPG)
Do you like the little art that I added to the picture? I really like the font, so I had to find some place to use it!
If I Stay: This was recommended to me on Goodreads, and I'd also heard about Gayle Forman before hand since there was a read-a-long not long ago. That's why I decided to read this as I thought it would be a good idea to try out her books!
Poison Study: I heard about this book on booktube, so I also thought it would be a good idea to try it. The plot interests me so I'm hoping it turns out to be good!
Through the Ever Night: Do you remember my review of Under the Never Sky? Maybe you do, but that is the reason that I saw this book, ran to it, and started stroking it. I loved the first book that much. It better be as good as the first one or I will be disappointed. No pressure.

My Reading List (9)
Hello Everyone!
Finally, I get round to doing a book haul which I have been meaning to do for a while now! I bought these books a few days ago, so now I get to share my haul with you!
.JPG)
Excuse the bookmark (I got it at Belsay Hall, do you like it?) but since I've already started reading The Maze Runner, I had to make the cover stay down for the photo, and the bookmark was the only way!
The Maze Runner: I'm currently reading this, and I'm really enjoying it! I really like Thomas, the main character and I'm very curious by the only girl character, Teresa.
Hush, Hush and Crescendo: I do hear a lot about this series, some good, and some bad. Still, I really like books about angels, demons or anything that relates to them. (TMI & TID anyone?) Basically, anything that doesn't have sparkly vampires and creatures that are wrongly described as werewolves when they are actually an animagus (Hmph... *cough* Edward *cough* Jacob). That's probably the reason I want to read these books!

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire Official Trailer
Hello Everyone!
THAT SHOULD BE ENOUGH EXPLANATION. Now, so you get the full idea of how I felt, here are the tweets from last night...
Bye! xx
Yesterday, I stayed up until 10:15 pm just so I could watch the Catching Fire trailer, and it was completely worth it. Beware that most of this post will be in Caps Lock because I AM SPEECHLESS AND I HAVE NO WORDS IT WAS JUST SO AMAZING. WATCH.
THAT SHOULD BE ENOUGH EXPLANATION. Now, so you get the full idea of how I felt, here are the tweets from last night...

Bookish Films I Can't Wait For
Hello!
I thought it would be nice to share with you the bookish films that I am very excited to see! By bookish films, I mean books being turned into movies, so why don't you see if you agree with my choices?
Divergent:
What do you think of my choices? Do you agree? What do you think of The Maze Runner books? Please let me know!
I thought it would be nice to share with you the bookish films that I am very excited to see! By bookish films, I mean books being turned into movies, so why don't you see if you agree with my choices?
Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters:
You all probably think I'm crazy for wanting to see this, but despite the films being horrendous adaptations of the books, I do like them, so I want to see this on!
The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones:
If you've been reading this blog, then you probably know that I LOVE The Mortal Instruments. They are some of my favourite books EVER! That's why I can't wait to watch the adaptation and I'm really hoping it will be good! I'm starting to get used to Jamie C Bower, so as long as he plays Jace really well, I'm happy with him being Jace.
Catching Fire:
I may have possibly screamed the house down when I saw the teaser trailer, so I can't wait to see the proper trailer! Of course, the need to see the film is even greater because The Hunger Games are some of my favourite books of all time, and in my opinion the first film was great, so I can't wait to see the second film! I really hope it is as good as the first!
The Maze Runner:
I haven't actually read The Maze Runner books yet, but I can say that I really want to read them. I've seen mixed reviews about the book but I can say that the pictures of the film make it seem like it's going to be good! Therefore, I really want to read The Maze Runner!
Divergent:
Last, but not least, I'm SO excited for the Divergent film! I LOVE the books so I can't wait to see the films. They better be good though or I will be VERY disappointed!
What do you think of my choices? Do you agree? What do you think of The Maze Runner books? Please let me know!

Belsay Hall
Hello Again!
This is going to be a non-bookish post, and instead it is going to be about a place that I went yesterday, called Belsay Hall.
I went to Belsay Hall having no idea what it would be like since I had never been there, all I knew was that it was some gardens, a hall and a castle. Oh and that it involved writing, English and History so I had to go.

Pretty Little Liars by Sara Shepard

Rainbow Spines Tag
The Rainbow Spines tag has been going around the blogosphere for a while now, and I have recently been tagged by Zoe from Bookhi which means it is my turn to do the tag! Admittedly, Zoe's looks a lot more rainbow-ish than mine...but I had a shortage of orange books, and sometimes I had to resort to using my multi-coloured Jean Ure books...!
Red:
Inkheart by Cornelia Funke
The Last Black Cat by Eugene Trivizas
Orange:
Manual do Professor Pardal (English Translation: Professor Pardal's Manual)
City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare
Yellow:
Passion Flower by Jean Ure
My Secret Diary by Jacqueline Wilson
Green:
Icons by Margaret Stohl
Kidnap in the Caribbean by Lauren St John
Blue:
Out of Sight, Out of Time by Ally Carter
City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare
Indigo:
Is Anybody There? by Jean Ure
Insurgent by Veronica Roth
Violet:
Shrinking Violet by Jean Ure
Goddess by Josephine Angelini
I feel like I should really point out that this tag is much harder than it looks. I had to go look for books that weren't even on my "official" shelf...
Still, I'm obliged to torture tag some people, so here they are:
- Sunny from A Sunny Spot
- Ruby from Feed Me Books Now!
- Amy from Amy Bookworm

The Madman's Daughter by Megan Shepherd
Hello Everyone!
I'm not a big fan of horror books. Or films. (Well, apart from Jurassic Park, but watching Dinosaurs eat people isn't horror....) Still, I really enjoyed his book though it can be a bit disturbing (in a good way!) at times!
Title: The Madman's Daughter
Author: Megan Shepherd
Series: The Madman's Daughter #1
Published: January 29th 2013
No. of Pages: 420
In the darkest places, even love is deadly.
Sixteen-year-old Juliet Moreau has built a life for herself in London—working as a maid, attending church on Sundays, and trying not to think about the scandal that ruined her life. After all, no one ever proved the rumors about her father's gruesome experiments. But when she learns he is alive and continuing his work on a remote tropical island, she is determined to find out if the accusations are true.
Accompanied by her father's handsome young assistant, Montgomery, and an enigmatic castaway, Edward—both of whom she is deeply drawn to—Juliet travels to the island, only to discover the depths of her father's madness: He has experimented on animals so that they resemble, speak, and behave as humans. And worse, one of the creatures has turned violent and is killing the island's inhabitants. Torn between horror and scientific curiosity, Juliet knows she must end her father's dangerous experiments and escape her jungle prison before it's too late. Yet as the island falls into chaos, she discovers the extent of her father's genius—and madness—in her own blood. (-Goodreads)

The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey

As you may know, I've been very busy with everything that's been going on as well as Amber's Debut-a-Thon. Anyway, I finished reading The 5th Wave last week but have only had time to review it now..Enjoy!
Title: The 5th Wave
Author: Rick Yancey
Series: The Fifth Wave #1
Published: May 7th 2013
No. of Pages: 457
After the 1st wave, only darkness remains. After the 2nd, only the lucky escape. And after the 3rd, only the unlucky survive. After the 4th wave, only one rule applies: trust no one.
Now, it’s the dawn of the 5th wave, and on a lonely stretch of highway, Cassie runs from Them. The beings who only look human, who roam the countryside killing anyone they see. Who have scattered Earth’s last survivors. To stay alone is to stay alive, Cassie believes, until she meets Evan Walker. Beguiling and mysterious, Evan Walker may be Cassie’s only hope for rescuing her brother—or even saving herself. But Cassie must choose: between trust and despair, between defiance and surrender, between life and death. To give up or to get up. (-Goodreads)

Sweet Six: July, August and September
July, August and September
I have made the decision to change Sweet Six to six books I'll try and read for three months. So every three months the books will change. I have decide to do this otherwise I wouldn't be able to read any other books that month!
P.S. This post is just to inform you of my Sweet Six for this month. The Sweet Six page is here!
P.S. This post is just to inform you of my Sweet Six for this month. The Sweet Six page is here!
You know, I blame all the other book bloggers for making me want to read this. Everyone says how good it is that I can't wait to be able to read this.
This has been on my Goodreads TBR page for AGES. Since I love books with Angels and Demons in them, I am hoping that this book will be good.
Again, I actually don't remember putting this book on my TBR, but it must be on there for a reason, because books don't get on there easily...!
You may remember me reading and reviewing Clarity a while back, but I haven't got round to reading the sequel yet so this lands in my Sweet Six at exactly the right time.

I remember trying to read Pride and Prejudice and only getting to 47% becuase it was so boring and I couldn't keep on reading. However, I do like Zombies for some reason (better than Vampires anyway) so I want to give this book a try!
Angelfall by Susan Ee
I have heard so many things about this book, and I'm so excited to read it. Again, it fits with my love of Angel and Demon books. I'm also told that it has a love-hate relationship in it..which I LOVE!
What do you think?
