Blog...Excitement and an off limits bank account...

Seriously! 


I should not be allowed to have an Amazon.co.uk/Play.com/Waterstones.co.uk account for the good of my health (well actually my bank accounts health) because over this weekend i've managed to purchase at least one thing from all three of these online stores...2 from Waterstones...Be expecting an interesting Book Haul soon since all 4 of today's, and yesterdays, purchases were all books. It will be a February Book Haul at the beginning of March and throughout March I will attempt to write a little review on each of the books as I read them and let you all know what I think...


I have to tell you all that I am so so so excited about a certain series of books which i'm starting as soon as the first one gets here. I've heard nothing but good reviews about this book and i've just read the first chapter and so far i'm hooked although chapter 2 is not available online so I have to wait until next week until it gets here. Amazon's purchase got dispatched today but it's a pretty huge book so if the postman doesn't deliver it here i'll have to go to the post office and pick it up. The two from Waterstones I am unsure of how big they are, tell a lie one of them is tiny and will easily fit through the letter box. I'm not at college tomorrow morning or Tuesday morning and so if it comes tomorrow or the next day at least i'll be in and wont have to make the post office trip. Wednesday i'm not sure if i'll be in at all to be perfectly honest especially if I get all the work done and handed back in by Tuesday. Which means the end of the block and no assessments to study for so my plan of action is to sit down and read for pretty much the whole week...


See you all soon

Book Review - Dragon's Oath....✰✰

Hey everyone,


As I said yesterday I was struggling to read anything involving Vampires since i've kind of sickened myself of them but I decided to make a start on Dragon's Oath which is one of the novellas accompanying the House of Night novels. I realise that this is a vampire novel but I have a feeling it's just True Blood that i've sickened myself of since I read the first 2 so quickly over Christmas. 

Anyway, I never really knew anything about Dragon's character, I found him difficult to understand within the House of Night novels and this book definitely clears things up, it is all focused on his life and how he becomes a vampire and meets Anastasia. I really enjoyed this book and even though it took me about 3 hours to read it was very well written. I was expecting it to be a bit boring but it was fast paced and I really enjoyed reading it. 


I am now off to order Lenobia's Vow on amazon so that I can read that too and am really looking forward to Neferet's Curse which should be out later in the year and the next installment of the series is due out soon too.


Only wrote a tiny blog on this because I didn't want to spoil anything about the book by blurting it out on here.

Book Haul February 2012...

Hey everyone,

So i've been watching so many book hauls and reviews on youtube recently and i've not been reading as much as I used to recently which is a shame so decided to buy a lot of books over Christmas and try to read a bit more. Anyway here is a little blog about the ones i've gotten recently:

First of all my sister got me a book for my birthday from the Southern Vampire Mysteries series which i'd been meaning to get for a while now. Ever since I started watching True Blood I was dying to read t he books since i've read the house of night series and twilight.

I read Dead until Dark in a week which was pretty good going since I was at college and working on the week of my birthday, I read this while I was working in Sainsburys over Christmas and I couldn't put it down.  It was such a good book I went out and bought the next 4 in the series to keep me going for a while.

The second book which I got just before Christmas was Calling Romeo by Alexandra Potter which is a romantic novel although to be honest I can't actually remember much of the story at all. It is definitely a book I would read again and I do remember that the characters travel to Verona in Italy and i'm almost certain it reminded me of Letters to Julliet.

It might be the next book on my reading list since I want to read something more realistic in between all of the vampire fiction that I got over Christmas and I have actually just purchased a book today that i'm really excited about reading over the next couple of weeks which is from a completely different genre than i'm used to but it should be good to elope a little.

Another book which I rushed through is Living Dead in Dallas which is the second in the Southern Vampire Mysteries series and although, again, I don't remember all that much of it i'm pretty sure I really enjoyed it.

Although I don't remember much of this book i'm sure I enjoyed it and couldn't wait to get onto number 3 in the series. I was surprised how close this book is to the True Blood series on TV it's almost following the story line exactly which surprised me since the Vampire Diaries series is completely different to the first book which is the only one i've "read". By "read" I mean that I have it on audiobook on my ipod, which btw is the worst thing ever since I like to have the book in front of me and I wont even buy a kindle even though so many people suggest it because i'm too old fashioned and love filling my bookshelf with new books especially a whole series of them. There is nothing better than the smell of a new book and i'm pretty sure the kindle doesn't smell the same.

Another book which I started reading is Club Dead but unfortunately I just can't get into it at all. I'm not sure if i've just read too many vampire novels in the short space of time or if i'm just sick of the genre for now.

Anyway I just can't get into it at all and am only about halfway through and i've pretty much given up with the whole book right now, i'm going to read a few books which have nothing to do with vampires for a bit now and see if I feel like reading them again in the future.

Keeping on the subject of Vampires is Destined which is the 9th book in the House of Night series, i've read every single one of these books and loved them all and this one was no different. I'm excited that there is a plan for books 10, 11 and 12 with 2 more novellas to accompany them along with the 2 already out.

Anyway this book was really good from what I remember of it and it carried on the series very well, I read this book pretty quickly so that I could carry on with Club Dead but obviously I couldn't focus on any more vampires at the minute.

This next one is one that I haven't managed to properly start reading yet but hopefully it will feature in my next haul which should be at the end of March.

Hopefully i'll manage to blog about books more often than I blog about life in general. 

Talk to you all soon

Long time no see yet again Mr Blog

So, hey everyone it's been a while.


I have an interview today. I'm getting nervous and i'm freaking out a little. I really need another job since i'm running slightly low on cash and need a little cash boost again. I really enjoyed working over Christmas and I know people think that's crazy but I really loved it. Laugh at me all you want I loved working in Sainsburys although I haven't wore the jumper since I left (anyone who works in Sainsbos knows how comfy those jumpers are). I'd really like this job in Debenhams but i'm slightly worried about this interview despite reassurance from people who have done this interview. It is now 3pm and my interview is in an hour. I've already come up with a few lies for the interview which I will post below for your entertainment (Yes, Adam Lambert did pop into my head, and yes, i'd love to entertain him ;))


1. I am a very patient person (Anyone who knows me that I have the attention span of a budgie)


2. I'm Hardworking and very organised (Hardworking, Maybe but organised...most definitely not)


3. It ties in well with my college course (Accounting and Waitressing tied in? Who knew)


4. I like to keep busy (I'm the laziest person you will ever meet in your life)


5. If i'm in a situation with an unruly customer I keep calm and remain polite (Aye right like that guy in Sainsburys? I was a nervous wreck)


So I hope you all enjoyed reading the lies I plan on telling these people so that they do indeed give me a job. Well wish me luck everyone i'm away to finish getting ready and take the humongous journey down the hill to my interview...
