WARNING!!!

This is a warning to all my readers that I will not be posting (again) because I have a TON of homework to do and this HUGE project called Chautauqua... maybe you've heard of them? Well I have to do one and so I'm still going to be reading, just not as much and then I'll have like no time to let you guys know! So I'm PROMISING you that when I finish I'll use all of my spare time to catch you guys up. I'll probably do one big In My Bookbag' and 'Waiting on Wednesday' even though doing it like that sucks! So I'm SOOOOO sorry, but you know, shift happens!

Waiting on Wednesday (15)...

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're getting fidgety for.

Lady Midnight (Dark Artifices #1) Expected publication: 2015

Los Angeles, 2012. It’s been five years since the events of the Mortal Instruments when Nephilim stood poised on the brink of oblivion and Shadowhunter Emma Carstairs lost her parents. After the blood and violence she witnessed as a child, Emma has dedicated her life to the eradication of demons and being the best, fastest and deadliest Shadowhunter since Jace Lightwood. Raised in the Los Angeles Institute, Emma is paired as a parabatai with her best friend, Julian. As Emma hunts those who caused the death of her parents, the trail they’re following leads back to those they’ve always been taught to trust. At the same time, Emma is falling in love with Julian — her closest friend and, because he is her parabatai, the one person in the world she’s absolutely forbidden by Shadowhunter Law to love. Set against the glittering backdrop of present-day Los Angeles, Emma must learn to trust her head and her heart as she investigates a demonic plot that stretches from the warlock-run nightclubs of the Sunset Strip to the enchanted sea that pounds the beaches of Santa Monica.

Hallowed (Unearthly #2)...

For months part-angel Clara Gardner trained to face the raging forest fire from her visions and rescue the alluring and mysterious Christian Prescott from the blaze. But nothing could prepare her for the fateful decisions she would be forced to make that day, or the startling revelation that her purpose—the task she was put on earth to accomplish—is not as straightforward as she thought.

Now, torn between her increasingly complicated feelings for Christian and her love for her boyfriend, Tucker, Clara struggles to make sense of what she was supposed to do the day of the fire. And, as she is drawn further into the world of part angels and the growing conflict between White Wings and Black Wings, Clara learns of the terrifying new reality that she must face: Someone close to her will die in a matter of months. With her future uncertain, the only thing Clara knows for sure is that the fire was just the beginning.


I felt like this one just began to drag on. Don't get me wrong I will continue to read the series and hope that everything works out with her and Tucker - but I'm kinda liking the idea of her and Christian together too. This one was really good at getting you into the situation and you could feel all of the confusion that Clara has because of her vision (and that doesn't turn out the way you'd expect) and the two stupid boys that are so adorable! Now that I think of it although it dragged on it was SOOO good (give me a break you guys its been almost 3 months since I read it)!!! So I can't wait for Boundless (Unearthly #3 - W.O.W and cover to come)!!!!
