Waiting on Wednesday #14

Jan 31, 2014

“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spin, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.

This Week my Waiting on Wednesday is City of Heavenly Fire by Cassandra Clare

Expected Publication: May 27th 2014
Publisher: Margaret K. McElderry
Format: Paperback (733 pages)
Series: The Mortal Instruments (#6)
Genre: Add to Goodreads Shelf

Synopsis

ERCHOMAI, SEBASTIAN HAD SAID. I am coming.

Darkness returns to the Shadowhunter world. As their society falls apart around them, Clary, Jace, Simon and their friends must band together to fight the greatest evil the Nephilim have ever faced: Clary’s own brother. Nothing in the world can defeat him — must they journey to another world to find the chance? Lives will be lost, love sacrificed, and the whole world changed in the sixth and last installment of the Mortal Instruments series!

Why am I Waiting? I really like this series, and I really need to know what happens. With all the tweets and interviews that Cassandra has done, I am so scared. With the amount of people that are going to die. 2 weddings going to happen. I just cannot wait. I hope it is going to be amazing.

What are you waiting on this Wednesday?

Top Ten Worlds I’d Never Want To Live

Jan 28, 2014

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week they post a new Top Ten list that members at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. All bloggers are then welcomed to join. This week’s Top Ten Tuesday is: Top ~~Ten~~ Nine Worlds I’d Never Want To Live

This week was somewhat hard. Some worlds just come to my mind so quick, but then other times I had to really think about it. As you will see most of the worlds included are Dystopian. These are in no particular order. (Click on the covers for reviews that I have done for some of the books)

1. Panem: The Hunger Games by Suzzane Collins – Who would want to live in a world where you could go into a game where you could die. Where if you were born, into a less fortunate district, you are living on nothing. Where you are controlled by people, that get everything. Not Me, Thank you.

2. Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi – everything about this world is scary, where ever you live. Just in different ways.

3. Harry Potter: War Time by J.K Rowling – I love the world that J.K created but not during the war with Voldemort. I would not want everyday fearing for the worst. Worry about my friends and family. If it’s after the war then hell yeah would love to live there.

4. Delirum by Lauren Oliver – A world without love, no thank you.

5. City of Chicago: Divergent by Veronica Roth – I am pretty sure if I lived in this world, I would be a Divergent, so I don’t think that’s the best for me. And to say that I am very strong options on things so I don’t think that’s the best.

6. Westeros: Song and Fire and Ice by George R.R. Martin – A world where you have no idea who you can trust, don’t know who is good, who is bad, where everyone you love could die. A world where manipulation is okay, where you are forced into marriage. I think maybe because I know that things like this somewhat, happen in history makes it that much worse.

7. Australia: Tomorrow when the War Began by John Marsden – Gosh, imagine just going away for a few days and coming back to everything not the way that is it was before. I think because I live in Australia, it makes it that more surreal.
