Waiting on Wednesday (8)

Originally hosted by Breaking the Spine

Hey guys!!
So I've survived the first half of my first semester, today I had my last and final midterm, and so far I've excelled and passed the first one, now to find out the rest. Once this week is over I have a nice week long break where I will continue to find a new job and be as dedicated as possible to Crazy Antics. With my semester being over that means that October is almost over and that means that NaNoWriMo is just two very short weeks away. For all who don't know what NaNoWriMo is you should really check it out when you have a chance here. What it is, is writing a novel well 50,000 words in the span of a month. I have been attempting to do this for I think three years now and have failed year after year. Last year I made a good attempt and then work got really busy and I had no life this year I've got school to keep me really busy and CA therefore I have no life CA is my life, I love my blog and I hate it when I don't post and I'm not on as often, but as I was saying before I got sidetracked with my devotion, I am going to make a strong attempt, and this year I'm not planning I've already got the novel in my head it's one I've been trying to write forever but keeps changing. So hey I'm going to give it a try and well if I fail at least I can say I tried. Anywho back to the topic at hand before I get totally carried away, this weeks Waiting on Wednesday!

This week two books with covered I'm seriously attracted too!!

Description

Mysterious. Magnificent. Creepy. Welcome to Rockford Manor.

"There's something hidden in the Maze." Seventeen-year-old Imogen has never forgotten the last words her father said to her seven years ago, before the blazing fire that consumed him, her mother, and the gardens of her family's English country manor.

Haunted by her parents' deaths, Imogen moves to New York City with her new guardians. But when a letter arrives with the news of her cousin's untimely death, revealing that Imogen is now the only heir left to run the estate, she returns to England and warily accepts her role as duchess.

All is not as it seems at Rockford, and Imogen quickly learns that dark secrets lurk behind the mansion's aristocratic exterior, hinting that the spate of deaths in her family were no accident. And at the center of the mystery is Imogen herself--and Sebastian, the childhood friend she has secretly loved for years. Just what has Imogen walked into?

Combining a fresh twist on the classic REBECCA with a spine-tingling mystery and powerful romance, SUSPICION is an action-packed thrill ride.

The description kind of reminds me of a cinematic at the beginning of a haunted find and seek game that you can play on the computer.

Description

Amber Vaughn is a good girl. She sings solos at church, babysits her nephew after school, and spends every Friday night hanging out at her best friend Devon’s house. It’s only when Amber goes exploring in the woods near her home, singing camp songs with the hikers she meets on the Appalachian Trail, that she feels free—and when the bigger world feels just a little bit more in reach.

When Amber learns about an audition at the North Carolina School of the Arts, she decides that her dream—to sing on bigger stages—could also be her ticket to a new life. Devon’s older (and unavailable) brother, Will, helps Amber prepare for her one chance to try out for the hypercompetitive arts school. But the more time Will and Amber spend together, the more complicated their relationship becomes . . . and Amber starts to wonder if she’s such a good girl, after all.

Then, in an afternoon, the bottom drops out of her family’s world—and Amber is faced with an impossible choice between her promise as an artist and the people she loves. Amber always thought she knew what a good girl would do. But between “right” and “wrong,” there’s a whole world of possibilities.

The cover is really adorable, I love it!!! Really can't wait to read this one!!

My Thoughts

I LOVED this novel!!
It took me less than a day to devour it and boy was it good. I was not disappointed in fact I was quite surprised with how it unfolded. I loved the first two in the series, the first was my favorite but this took over after I closed the cover.

This book invoked so many emotions, and it threw curve balls at me that I didn't see coming. The whole plot was enchanting, and inspiring that love can conquer all even where seeds of doubt are planted. The characters developed quite a huge amount in this book from the other two and I found that characters I was annoyed with I grew to love as their real personalities came to light (the girls of the elite).

Thought the ending was quite sad and not what I was expecting, it did have a silver lining, and what I hoped would come of the end happened.
I'm quite elated and my money was well spent. Definitely a book I'm going to be rereading and I definitely recommend this book and series to anyone looking to read about love and forever after.

My Rating: 5/5

Book Review - An Earthly Knight

Title: An Earthly Knight
Author: Janet McNaughton
Series:
Publisher: HarperTrophyCanada
Release Date: March 2nd 2004
ISBN: 978-0-006-39230
Source: Owned (Paperback)
Genre: Young Adult & Fantasy

Synopsis

The year is 1162. Sixteen-year-old Lady Jeanette Avenel has always enjoyed her freedom as second daughter of a minor nobleman in Teviotdale, Scotland. But after her sister, Isabel, disgraces the family, Jenny is suddenly thrust into the role of eldest daughter. Now Jenny has been chosen as potential bride to the heir of the King of Scotland. While learning the customs of the royal court, Jenny is drawn to the mysterious young man rumored to have been kidnapped by fairies, not knowing his past holds a secret that threatens everyone close to him - including Jenny.

My Thoughts

This book has been one I've read over a hundred times. I loved it growing up as a child and teenager and as an adult I still found the delight in the plot. It was gripping from beginning to end and just as it used to when I was younger I wound up dreaming of the setting and myself in Jenny's shoes looking for adventure. I've found a love for historical romance novels and though I can't be positive I'm pretty sure this book was the beginning one that started it all.

The characters were easy to fall in love with and hate. I could see myself as Jenny and sympathizing with her and her sister about the choices they had to make and the emotions that felt during the novel. It was also easy to hate William, from the start there was an air about him that said something wasn't right. The whole plot with fairies brought a magical element in, and I saw fairies in a different light. Normally when I think of fairies I think of small harmless mystical beings but the author cast a different light on them that was refreshing.

My favorite character had to be the nurse Galliane. She seemed to know everything...Jenny said through eavesdropping and the author hinted that a little bit but it seemed to me, she had good intuition when it came to her girls Jenny and Isabel. Just as Jenny has when it comes to the people who try to get close.

My Rating: 5/5
