Tome Thursday: Heir of Fire

Hello everyone!

In honour of finishing another Maas book, I decided to hit the reviews yet again and see just what, precisely, I'm missing in a series I've been reading.

This series being, of course, the Throne of Glass series.

I've said it before somewhere and it bears repeating: for some odd reason, I can only read about Celaena if I'm really in the mood, and this works so that if I'm in said mood AND I pick up the book, I'll breeze through it in one or two sittings.

But, should I be in the mood, and get distracted, then I won't be able to get back into it by the time I return.

This, usually, leads to the poor assassin-slash-queen having to sit there and stew for a while as I go about my merry way.

Sometimes it takes me longer than usual to get back on track.

Unfortunately, this was also what happened with Heir of Fire.

Tome Thursday: Crown of Midnight

Hello everyone!

So I am slowly trekking my way through these book series, even though sometimes it certainly does take me longer than one would think! In my defense, I tend tor read SO many books and start SO many series that I sometimes forget to go back to the ones I'd already read, or something else catches my eye, and then of course before I realize it, it's already been ages from the time I've read a certain book!

Then again, I also have to be into the story, so to speak. If I'm not, those books will be left waiting there on the shelves forever ...

I'm not exactly sure what my issue is with Sarah J. Maas' first published series though.

I absolutely love Celaena, she's the kind of character I could go for any day of the week, and yet when I actually sit down to read the books with her as the titular character, time seems to slow down into a crawl.

I start them alright - and when I actually read them I can breeze through them. But STARTING them to begin with is a complete chore for some reason!

Which is sad, because they're amazing. So, on to Crown of Midnight!

Tome Thursday: Throne of Glass

Hello everyone!

So today was spent mostly in ... let's see, doing chores, running around the house, running around town on a special quest for DVDs (but then, you guys should know by now I have a DVD problem ... oopsie?), trying to tame my impossible hair andddd ...

That's enough.

I feel exhausted either way though!

But as promised in the morning, or mid-day, whichever really came first, I can't remember, here is the book blog post! Now, some of you may remember I wrote about Sarah J. Maas and her novellas in a previous post, right here, so I'd encourage you to read it just so you're familiar with who and what I'll be talking about.

Though, if you're unlike me - which I presume most of you are - you already know all about Throne of Glass and are on the fourth book already, while I'm still struggling behind!

Not to worry tough, I have every plan of catching up.
