Bookish Monday ~ Crown of Midnight

Author: Sarah J. Maas Pages:418 (Hardback) Published Date: August 27, 2013 Genre: Fantasy Status: Book 2/6 (Throne of Glass series) Synopsis from Goodreads: "A line that should never be crossed is about to be breached. It puts this entire castle in jeopardy—and the life of your friend." From the throne of glass rules a king with a fist of iron and a soul as black as pitch. Assassin Celaena Sardothien won a brutal contest to become his Champion. Yet Celaena is far from loyal to the crown. She hides her secret vigilantly; she knows that the man she serves is bent on evil. Keeping up the deadly charade becomes increasingly difficult when Celaena realizes she is not the only one seeking justice. As she tries to untangle the mysteries buried deep within the glass castle, her closest relationships suffer. It seems no one is above questioning her allegiances—not the Crown Prince Dorian; not Chaol, the Captain of the Guard; not even her best friend, Nehemia, a foreign princess with a

Fangirl Friday ~ abookutopia

It is Friday and that is absolutely amazing, another week down! I hope you all had an excellent week. This is a new addition to my blog, I wanted to do something where I have book reviews on Mondays and just basic fangirling on Friday. I just wanted to talk about booktubers today.

(Because let's face it, I don't want the world to be terrified to look at me). This week's randomness is abookutopia!!! She is hands down one of my favorite booktubers. She has such a lot of fun content and just the way she talks about the books makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside. I feel like Sasha is a person any unsocial bookworm in this world can absolutely connect to and even if you are completely social and just a bookworm (in which case I applaud you!) you would still adore her. Let's

Maas Pages: 404 (hardcover) Published Date: 7th August, 2012 Genre: Fantasy Status: Throne of Glass Series (Book 1) Synopsis from Goodreads : After serving out a year of hard labor in the salt mines of Endovier for her crimes, 18-year-old assassin Celaena Sardothien is dragged before the Crown Prince. Prince Dorian offers her freedom on one condition: she must act as his champion in a competition to find a new royal assassin. Her opponents are men-thieves and assassins and warriors from across the empire, each sponsored by a member of the king's council. If she beats her opponents in a series of eliminations, she'll serve the kingdom for four years and then be granted her freedom. Celaena finds her training sessions with the captain of the guard, Westfall, challenging and exhilarating. But she's bored stiff by court life. Things get a little more interesting when the prince starts to show interest in her... but it's the gruff Captain Westfall who seems
