Tome Thursday: Tempted by Twilight

 

Hello everyone!

 

I'm back with something that ISN'T Hunger Games related, even though I know I still have the prequel to read, but I needed a break from it so picked up something from BookSirens yet again.

 

For those of you who don't know yet, BookSirens is a site where you can sign up and pick up different ARCs from, from different authors and genres. The only limitations are how many books you can read to start off with, and how long you have for each book before you're asked to supply a review, on the site itself or on Goodreads, Amazon, etc.

I really like it, they usually give you 90 days, which is MORE than enough for 200 pages (rough estimate), and you can find some really cool hidden gems on there!

I've probably run into more than my share of books that I've fallen in love with thanks to them.

But I took a bit of a break over the summer holidays, and am now back to perusing their choices from the shelves, so here we are.

Tonight's pick is definitely one for this spooky autumn, as it deals with the supernatural, and then some.

Tempted by Twilight, from Nichole Wolfe, is up.

Tome Thursday: Clay's Hope

Hello everyone!

As promised last week I'm back with a review on the mirror image of the book we talked about that time.

If you remember, I'd fallen off the deep end and into the world of werewolves and very unspecified supernatural humans who seem to be able to either see the life force of others or make predictions or stuff like that.

It's one of those things that you either roll with, or you never get the hang of it I think.

Me?

I totally rolled with it.

I'm fine with paranormal and supernatural so long as there's some sort of arc to the storytelling, and this one was a kind of Beauty and the Beast one at that. And we all know how we feel about it!

So now we've heard all about what Beauty thought.

It's time to take a look at Beast in Clay's Hope.

Tome Thursday: Hope(less)

Hello everyone!

Today I'm bringing you something a little bit different, or at least different to what I've been reading recently.

It's been a while since I found a really good supernatural book that I'd actually enjoy to the point where I'd want to immediately gobble down the rest of the series; usually what'll happen is that I'll like the first book, but it won't hold my interest all that much that I'd want to devote more time to the subsequent ones.

Not with this.

I picked this one up at random, I think BookBub suggested it to me and the first in the series was free at the time, so I was like sure, why not.

I don't often like YA books, not anymore at least, because I think I've just outgrown them, and most feature a heroine who runs off at the first sight of problems when all you want to do is shake her and tell her to JUST. COMMUNICATE.

This one wasn't like that, which is probably part of the allure here.

Are you ready for this? Better have some hope, because Hope(less) is up next.

Tome Thursday: The Werewolf's Virgin Vampire

Hello everyone!

So last week I somehow forgot that I had a trilogy of books to finish off with the last one.

I'm not exactly sure how it happened, other than I think I was just so into Term Limits that I really WANTED to review it on here, but I'm back to my usual routine and I do actually have quite a few other books I want to talk about on here, and plans for how to continue through summer (and what to read, most importantly!).

When you read as much as I do and as many eclectic choices as I do (let's be real, there's nothing quite regular when you bounce from crime to romance to psychological thriller to comedy) you need to have some sort of plan, eventually.

I've been flying by the seat of my pants for a while but I'm probably going to actually concentrate now, especially with the summer vacation that's coming up!

But before I do any of that, it's time to do a little bit of a review on here and wrap up this trilogy with a nice bow and a smile.

Riley Rivers has a thing when it comes to supernatural, and The Werewolf's Virgin Vampire was no exception.

Tome Thursday: The Werewolf's Dragon Defender

Hello everyone!

FINALLY back with another book review after the computer chaos of last week.

This was the blog post that SHOULD have gone up last Thursday, but unfortunately, I don't always schedule my posts since I quite like the routine of sitting down two to three times a week and typing them up, usually on the day they're getting posted.

I know it may not be the most effective way of doing things, but it's worked for me so far! 

It did, however, also mean I didn't really have a post to share after the old computer said farewell, so this one had to wait a little bit.

Here we are now however, back in Supernatural Suburbia, and Riley Rivers has two other books after the first, Nymph Neighbor, which is all well for me since I usually like to read them in a series and not just stand-alones.

So I think I'm going to actually stop blabbering now and do something productive, aka, get right into the post.

The Werewolf's Dragon Defender is next!

Tome Thursday: The Werewolf's Nymph Neighbor

Hello everyone!

I took a number of books with me to my mini-vacation last week and I figured I'd take a look and see if any of them could be useful for this week's book blog post.

Sometimes, some just aren't, or they're literally only a few pages long, not even novellas, and I really don't think that qualifies as a book review, does it?

This one isn't exactly Lord of the Rings length, either, but it's got a lot of endearing elements to it, and something about werewolves running around just amuses me to no end. Plus, the premise of there being OTHER shifters around and not just wolves is intriguing!

I discovered Riley Rivers completely by accident one time because this particular book of hers was free online, and I thought to myself, what the heck.

It sounded promising from the blurb, and occasionally I'll indulge in whims.

The Werewolf's Nymph Neighbor was amusing, and very sweet.

Talkie Tuesday: Underworld Blood Wars

"There is no beginning, there is no end. There is only becoming."

Hello everyone!

So, alright. I kind of messed up with the whole 'I'm going to switch my Tuesday and Saturday posts' last week. 

I'll admit, it completely slipped my mind and also, with the rain we've been having (nothing even remotely close to Irma or what's happening to our neighbours in Croatia, however) it's been kind of difficult to focus on anything specific, outside of just slowly regrouping and gathering all the things I may need in the coming weeks.

Anyway, I'm back with a proper movie review this week, and I've chosen one of the older ones for the time being (or well, semi-old really) as opposed to the newer I'd watched while away at the seaside. I'll do one of those next week though!

Moving to the actual theme of this week, I picked Underworld: Blood Wars because I have an affinity for these vampire movies, mostly because I thoroughly enjoyed the first, humoured the second, loved the prequel, and had a love-hate relationship with the Awakening one.

I put all that aside for Blood Wars, however, because THIS was a proper Underworld movie.
