Title: Persistence of Vision (Interchron #1)
          
Author: Liesel K. Hill

Pages: 386

Genre: New Adult/Dystopian/Fantasy

Publisher: Tate Publishing

Date Released: January 29th 2013

Format: e-book

Synopsis:
In a world where collective hives are enslaving the population and individuals have been hunted to the verge of extinction, Maggie Harper, and independent 21st Century woman, must find the strength to preserve the freedom of the future, but without the aid of her memories.

After experiencing a traumatic time loss, Maggie is plagued by a barrage of images she can't explain. When she's attacked by a creep with a spider's web tattoo, she is saved by Marcus, a man she's never met, but somehow remembers. He tells her that both he and her creepy attacker are from a future in which individuals are being murdered by collectives, and Marcus is part of the rebellion. The collectives have acquired time travel and they plan to enslave the human race throughout all of history. The flashes Maggie has been seeing are echoes of lost memories, and the information buried deep within them is instrumental in defeating the collective hives.

In order to preserve the individuality of mankind, Maggie must try to re-discover stolen memories, re-kindle friendships she has no recollection of, and wade through her feelings for the mysterious Marcus, all while dodging the tattooed assassins the collectives keep sending her way.

If Maggie can't fill the holes in her memory and find the answers to stop the collectives, the world both in her time and in all ages past and future will be doomed to enslavement in the grey, mediocre collectives. As the danger swirls around her and the collectives close in, Maggie realizes she must make a choice: stand out or fade away... ( Goodreads Synopsis )

Review:
I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review, Thank you Liesel! I really appreciate it! :).
I wasn't so sure about starting this book but the rating and reviews on goodreads were quite good. I had not even heard of this until Liesel contacted me but I am so happy and thankful that she did. I truly enjoyed it and I am not just saying that. The writing was really good and the storyline quite different from what I usually read. The only thing that bugged me was that Maggie never asked about her brother Jonah wondering where she was, which I thought was weird. I think he would notice that she was missing! haha.

This was a really unique story and it flowed really nicely, some of the science and physics laws were a bit hard to wrap my head around like explaining how their powers worked but I think I sort of got it in the end. Oh my goodness and I <3 <3 <3 Marcus *swoon* he is so sweet! There are some really cool unexpected things that happen, and I thought that the Spiderweb tattoo's were cool. I actually think this would be really cool as a movie!

Overall:
I definitely recommend this to those of you who live dystopian and fantasy novels. I think this book has something that everyone will enjoy. It is a lot different from what I usually read but I am definitely looking forward to reading the next book! :)

Unravel Me Review

Title: Unravel Me (Shatter Me #2)

Author: Tahereh Mafi

Pages: 461

Genre: Young Adult, Romance, Dystopian

Publisher: Harper Collins

Date Released: February 5th 2013

Format: e-book

Synopsis:

tick

tick
tick
tick
tick
it's almost
time for war.

Juliette has escaped to Omega Point. It is a place for people like her—people with gifts—and it is also the headquarters of the rebel resistance.

She's finally free from The Reestablishment, free from their plan to use her as a weapon, and free to love Adam. But Juliette will never be free from her lethal touch.

Or from Warner, who wants Juliette more than she ever thought possible.

In this exhilarating sequel to Shatter Me, Juliette has to make life-changing decisions between what she wants and what she thinks is right. Decisions that might involve choosing between her heart—and Adam's life. ( Goodreads Synopsis )

Quotes:
“I want to be the friend you fall hopelessly in love with. The one you take into your arms and into your bed and into the private world you keep trapped in your head. I want to be that kind of friend. The one who will memorize the things you say as well as the shape of your lips when you say them. I want to know every curve, every freckle, every shiver of your body.

I want to know where to touch you, I want to know how to touch you. I want to know convince you to design a smile just for me. Yes, I do want to be your friend. I want to be your best friend in the entire world.”  

“Hope.
It's like a drop of honey, a field of tulips blooming in the springtime. It's a fresh rain, a whispered promise, a cloudless sky, the perfect punctuation mark at the end of a sentence. And it's the only thing in the world keeping me afloat.”  

“On the darkest days you have to search for a spot of brightness, on the coldest days you have to seek out a spot of warmth; on the bleakest days you have to keep your eyes onward and upward and on the saddest days you have to leave them open to let them cry. To then let them dry. To give them a chance to wash out the pain in order to see fresh and clear once again.”  

"It's raining. The world is weeping at our feet in anticipation of what we're about to do"

Review:Like I said in my Shatter Me Review, how amazing is this cover, I can't express how good they look!! Not only is the cover fabulous, the content inside is just as good. Tahereh Mafi has such a unique writing style and I love the way that she describes things. I have to admit that I didn't like Warner so much in Shatter Me but after reading Unravel Me I can't help but like him. You see another side of him that you didn't get to see in Shatter Me.
There were many intense moments through out the novel and I felt like I enjoyed this a even more that Shatter Me. I swear at one point in the book my jaw literally dropped. Also Juliette really developed throughout the story, she starts to realise she has to embrace who she is and she really grows. At some points I would get really annoyed with her decisions but I think that was important because it showed her character really change as a person.

The ending was pretty intense and do not worry I am not going to give any spoilers. I just really need to get my hands on Ignite Me!! I honestly have no idea what is going to happen next and I cannot wait to find out.

Overall:I highly recommend this to anyone who loves a good YA, dystopian. You will not regret buying it, the writing is incredible and you will not be able to put it down and if you have not read Shatter Me you should definitely go and get it now... like right now haha :)

Shatter Me Review

      Title: Shatter Me

Author: Tahereh Mafi

Pages: 340

Genre: Young Adult, Romance, Dystopian

Publisher: Harper Collins

Date Released: October 2nd 2012

Format: e-book

Synopsis: No one knows why Juliette's touch is fatal, but The Reestablishment has plans for her. Plans to use her as a weapon. But Juliette has plans of her own. After a lifetime without freedom, she's finally discovering a strength to fight back for the very first time—and to find a future with the one boy she thought she'd lost forever. ( Source: Goodreads )

Quotes:
"I always wonder about raindrops.
I wonder how they're always falling down, tripping over their own feet, breaking their legs and forgetting their parachutes as they tumble right out of the sky toward an uncertain end."

"All I ever wanted was to reach out and touch another human being not just with my hands but with my heart.”  

“The moon is a loyal companion.
It never leaves. It’s always there, watching, steadfast, knowing us in our light and dark moments, changing forever just as we do. Every day it’s a different version of itself. Sometimes weak and wan, sometimes strong and full of light. The moon understands what it means to be human.
Uncertain. Alone. Cratered by imperfections.”  

“I've been screaming for years and no one has ever heard me.”  

Review:

Let me just start of with how beautiful this book cover is, like oh my goodness. So I had heard so many good things about this book and I've had it on my tbr pile for quite some time so I decided to pick it up and I am so glad that I did. The way that Tahereh Mafi presents her world to you is so beautiful, the world building made me feel as though I was actually there. At the start of the novel I could almost feel Juliette's aloneness (is that even a word haha?) not having uttered a single word for so long and finally having someone to talk to. That someone being Adam. After that first night together, I kind of thought he was a bit of a dick but that was soon forgotten when he became so sweet towards Juliette.

When we first meet Warner I instantly do not like him, not only did he kill without a second thought, he kept Juliette like a prisoner/trophy not like a person with feelings. He was merciless but I think there could be some part of him that's good. Adam's brother James seemed so sweet and I couldn't help but wonder if he was like Adam immune to Juliette's touch. On that note I felt bad for Juliette because before Adam she had nobody, no one cared for her, her own parents sent her to The Reestablishment without a second glance and I couldn't imagine how alone she must have felt.

Overall:

I recommend this to everyone. If you love young adult, romance and dystopian novels this books is for you! The writing style is so unique and poetic and I haven't read anything like it. I will definitely be purchasing this in a physical copy to re-read.

Aspiring to become an author?

Are you someone who has been thinking about writing a novel? I know I am and I have searched online for some helpful tips to help with your writing.
I have only just started to write properly because I am always changing my mind about what I want to write but that's okay. I think that if you are having the same problem I had you're not writing what you really want to (I could be wrong though), If you are struggling think about something you would like to read that has yet to be written and make it your mission to write that story.

About 2 years ago I came across the author Ally Carter who wrote I'd Tell You I Love You But Then I'd Have to Kill You and I was looking through her website and came across for writers which has a heap of posts she has written to help you on your writing journey and some helpful links to improve your writing. I found reading these very helpful and I think I would be quite lost if I hadn't read them.

Another author who you most probably all know Cassandra Clare who wrote the
infernal devices series and the mortal instruments series has some of her own writing advice on her website and she has a different take on it than Ally Carter and some things that are a bit different but all in all I found these posts very helpful as well. She even has a advice for teen writers post which I found quite helpful being a teen myself.

The author of Gone series, Michael Grant has a very different take on writing but I think that it is good advice for anyone wanting to become and author because he is blunt and straight to the point, which I like. Here is what he said:

Do you have any advice for aspiring writers?
First, and this is important: this is advice for people thinking about writing as a career. Okay? This is not advice for how you can write a journal entry or your next creative writing assignment.
If you want a career as a writer, I have the following advice:

1. Manage to be born with some natural talent. Talent isn't enough by itself, but if you don't have at least some natural talent you won't have a career as a writer. Not fair? Spoiler alert: Life isn't fair.
2. Work hard. Look at it this way: you're in a contest. Everyone in the contest has talent. Who is going to win the race amongst talented people? The talented person who also works hard.
3. It's a good thing to read a lot. It's a good thing to write a lot. The best thing to do is to live a lot. Fall in love. Fall out of love. Make a fool of yourself. Watch other people make fools of themselves. Believe something stupid and then realize you've been tricked. Feel embarrassed. Be brave and bold. Then be cowardly and pathetic. Give a damn about the world outside yourself. Have some very dark nights. It's all good. You'll use all of it.
4. Ignore just about everything you'll ever hear in school on the topic of writing. (Don't blame your teachers: they have to teach the curriculum and they've got the whole world looking over their shoulders.)

I would like to single out the so-called "chunk method" for special abuse. The chunk method isn't just stupid, it actively destroys the part of your brain that might be a writer. So learn it to pass your tests, but for God's sake keep it isolated in some dark corner of your brain where it won't contaminate anything around it.
There is no method to writing fiction. You're telling a story. Did the people who read your story understand it? Did they keep reading it all the way to the end? Were they interested by the characters and the plot? If the answer is "yes," then you did it right.
That's the job: tell a story using words.

And leaving the best for last David Estes author of evolution trilogy, country series and The dwellers series has a blog in which he has some really good advice:
1. My dos and dont's for attracting new readers
2. Everything I wish I knew when I started writing (this is very helpful and recommend you take a look)
3. Surviving Negative Reviews (and maybe even learning from them!)
4. Become an indie author and get rich quick
5. All about beta readers (I still have yet to find one but that's because I do not feel I have written enough to do this yet I will make a post about this later on)
6. how to make most of read and review programs
7. Do all people sound the same (your writing voice)

I really recommend you take a  look because all of these posts have a lot of time and effort put into them and they are so helpful! He also has a group on goodreads david estes fans and ya book lovers unite which I am apart of and there are more post there that can help you with your writing
e.g. Read and review program where you can give out free copies of your novel for an honest review and members writing where you can share your writing with the group and get feed back or find someone to be your beta read or critique your writing.

 Anyway these are the places I go to when I am stuck or need a bit of a boost to keep writing. I hope that you enjoyed this post, I'm sorry that it is not my own advice but I think it better to hear from the people who actually know what they are doing. If you found this helpful let me know and if you are writing a novel and need some input like a beta reader, but I will make a post about it with further details as to what it is and how you can get involved ( I have yet to find one myself hehe!) :D

I hope that you all have fabulous weekends and Happy Reading Everyone :)

For Jazmine, it's a lot easier to take out her hearing aid and drift along pretending that nothing's wrong than it is to admit that she's heartbroken. She starts to come out of her shell when she's forced to be in the school play and even makes friends with bouncy Gabby and chocolate-loving Liam. But can she stand up to the school bully, and is she strong enough to face the truth about what really happened to her dad?

Hey everyone :)

This Week's Question:
If you could read a book for the “first time” again, which book would it be? Why?

This is a hard question because there are honestly so many things that I would love to read for the "first time" but I think that the book I would read for the "first time" would have to be Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead because that was the book that got me hooked into reading when I was 10 or 11 and I just fell in love with the whole series. It started my obsession with books so how could it not be haha.

Perdita Rivers has spent her entire sheltered life being told what to do. Lately, she’s felt ready for a change and the universe seems to agree. Her new best friend’s brother is the boy of Perdita’s dreams. Literally. Even though he plays hot and cold, she’s sure there’s more to it, but she’s kind of distracted by the sense she’s being followed, not to mention the rumours of wild animal sightings that seem to mean more to her new crush’s family than they should. Perdy’s on a mission to find the truth, but maybe the truth is the danger she should hide from, after all.

Teardrop by Lauren kate

Title: Teardrop (Teardrop #1)

Author: Lauren Kate

Pages: 441

Genre: Romance, young adult, Paranormal

Publisher: Delacorte Books

Date released: October 22nd 2013

Format: Paperback

Synopsis:
Never, ever cry... Seventeen-year-old Eureka won't let anyone close enough to feel her pain. After her mother was killed in a freak accident, the things she used to love hold no meaning. She wants to escape, but one thing holds her back: Ander, the boy who is everywhere she goes, whose turquoise eyes are like the ocean. And then Eureka uncovers an ancient tale of romance and heartbreak, about a girl who cried an entire continent into the sea. Suddenly her mother's death and Ander's appearance seem connected, and her life takes on dark undercurrents that don't make sense. Can everything you love be washed away? ( Goodreads Synopsis )

Quotes:
“Wisdom holds a candle to experience, but you've got to take the candle and walk alone.”  

“Love was a dance floor where everyone you loved left a mark behind.”

“When he pressed his lips to hers, she was not surprised. It happened the way the sun rose, the way a flower blossomed, the way fain fell from the sky, the way the dead stopped breathing. Naturally. Inevitably.”  

“I try to hook you up every day. What's the point of calendars without dates?”

“The last thing we expect others to do, its the last thing they do before we learn we cannot trust them.”  
Review:
First of all let me just say, I really love this cover! It's so pretty, the water dress looks amazing!
So I wasn't really sure what to expect when I saw that Lauren Kate had a new series coming out because I enjoyed the first fallen novel but as the series went on it was not as good as I thought it would be, so when I picked this up I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not.

Turns out I liked quite a bit and I found it was written a lot better, it was very different from everything that I have read. I absolutely loved the scene when Eureka meets Ander for the first time, it was too cute! I thought it was really funny that when Eureka went on Brooks boat with the twins, it said it was called Ariel which made me think of the little mermaid hahaha.

Overall:
There were a few unanswered question so I can't wait to read the next installment and find out what Is going to happen. If you have yet to read this then I suggest you do because its really good, I mean it had its flaws but because I liked the story so much it overrode that. I recommend this for anyone who likes a good ya paranormal romance that has a unique story.
