Happy Valentines Day all! I laugh when I think about this day, to be completely honest. One time my mom, my youngest sister and I were sitting at the table after lunch, and for some reason me getting a boyfriend was brought up. !!!!!!! Guess who asked that question.
In response to this my mom laughed and said, "Chloe doesn't have a boyfriend, and won't have one for a long time! She also doesn't have a love life, so I think we're good."
O_o Gee, thanks mom.
But she was wrong!! I DO HAVE A LOVE LIFE!!!
..........
Yah, that love life may or may not involve books. My idea for a perfect weekend is making a fort with lots of pillows, and curling up in and literally just reading all day. Which is exactly what I'm hoping to do tonight to celebrate this day of love. :) :)
So some good books I've read lately...... Here we go.
First off, one of my new favorite series: Half Upon a Time by James Riley. This author ALWAYS makes me laugh!! He switches characters every chapter (in third person) but he does it in such a way that you can tell who it is almost without needing the person's name. Which, in my opinion, is a GREAT skill to have as a writer!
There's irony, fantasy references galore, and AWESOME plot. And the characters- I love them all! Right now Jack has to be my favorite, just because he's so unexpected. But I mean aren't they all?? I'm three-fourth way through the last book, and I would strongly recommend picking up these series!!!!!
The Shakespeare series by Gary Blackwood. The first book in the series I had to read for school, and afterwards I loved it so much I went and grabbed the other two from the library and gobbled them up.
I enjoy historical fiction so long as I'm not the one writing it. Researching all that history is not my forte! The author does a great job of not shoving all the history facts down your throat but giving them to you only when you need them.
Love,

DeleteHi Chloe! Thanks for your sweet comment on my blog. It's awesome to find a fellow superhero and LOTR lover! :)
ReplyDeletePillow forts are sheer awesomeness. :) I love The Hobbit! Can't wait to see the last movie too. 100 Cupboards is a neat book, my sister likes it a lot and has all the books the series. :)

You're welcome! thanks for replying with a comment on my blog!! :)
DeleteLOTR is definitely epic, and I'm looking forward to and yet dreading this last movie because it means NO MORE LORD OF THE RINGS ANYTHING. :( sad sad day
Hey!! I'm glad you read all of the Once Upon a TIme series:) Aren't they awesome! Make sure you read all three in the 100 Cupboards series!:) Ha, we need to make that blanket fort together some time...
ReplyDeleteThat series truly was one of my favorites!!!! His writing style is so unique.
DeletePillow fort um YES. Some Saturday I'm gonna just call everyone up and we can bring a bag of books and our favorite pillow and blanket and just have an afternoon of reading!!!!!!!!!!
Outcasts is AMAZING. I actually love the ending, because it isn't too sad, just mega suspenseful. And I loved the Shakespeare Stealer. I need to reread those. 100 Cupboards looks so good! Can we have a fort building and book reading party sometime?? Cuz it sounds good to me! :)
ReplyDeleteYes, it was. Like, annoyingly suspenseful. Although suspense is so much better then sad. I couldn't have handled it if she had killed my two favorite characters!!!
DeleteYes!! That sounds like my kind of party;)
These all sound amazing! I think I'll be going to the library asap haha. Oh and the 100 Cupboards trilogy is AMAZING. I love those books! Well, I haven't got the 3rd yet but the first 2 are just great! Another great one is The Emerald Atlas!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you about the fort thing. I love forts hehe. Great post!
