Cats are always right

So over the weekend, Husband and I went out to do some shopping and other random things. I convinced him with my wiles to go to the bookstore with me.  I found the silliest things there!

HAHA!  Yes they are what you think they are!  And if you don't know what they are because my crappy phone doesn't take all that great of pictures than I shall tell you that they are OVEN MITS! LOL
Don't you think the guy on the right in the second row looks like the Bounty Man? Bahaha!  Thank you book store for selling these!  I had a good laugh!

Sunday night I still wasn't feeling good after going to a friends house and drinking too many margaritas so I started reading The Eternal Ones by Kirsten Miller.

Ugh, I don't even want to talk about this book.  Even my cat didn't want me to finish it.  You see that evil look she's giving me?





The Eternal Ones
By: Kirsten Miller

Haven Moore has always lived in the tiny town of Snope City, Tennessee.  But for as long as she can remember, Haven has experienced visions of a past life as a girl named Constance, whose love for a boy called Ethan ended in a fiery tragedy
One day, the sight of notorious playboy Iain Morrow on television brings Haven to her knees.  Haven flees to New York City to find Ian and there, she is swept up in an epic love affair that feels both deeply fated and terribly dangerous.  Is Iain her beloved Ethan? Or is her her murderer in a past life?  Haven asks member of the powerful and mysterious Oroboros Society to help her unlock the mysteries of reincarnation and discover the secrets hidden in her past lives, and loves, before all is lost and the cycle begins again.  But what is the Ouroboros Society? And how can Haven know who to trust?








Let me try to say this nicely.  Haven is a dumbass.  She flip flops more than a dying fish on land.  I love Iain.  So and so says to stay away from Iain so I hate him now.  How dare he lie to me?!  Iain kissed me, I trust him now.  I hate you Haven.  I wish you would have died in the fire. You and Iain are boring, boring characters and I really hope there is no sequel.  GRR

It's a shame I read this book after reading what is probably one of my favorite reads of the year, Revolution by Jennifer Connelly.  Maybe I'll just wait till next year before I read any more books so I can just savor the good feelings Revolution left me with.




BAH

Icebox Where My Heart Use To Be

I'm back! T'was a great vacation but it feels wonderful to be back home to see my all my little baby kitties  :D  I am quite proud of myself that I didn't purchase any books whilst I was away.  There is no possible way I would have been able to fit anything else in my suitcase!

I read some really great news as well!  Jeaniene Frost plans to write a series just for VLAD! Only two books so far but that is good enough for me!  Oh and also push the Night Huntress Novels to 9 books instead of just 7 but ehhhh.....VLAD!!!! ( There is a lot of exclamation points in this post so far...(!!!!!!!!!!)  ) You can read more about it on her website   <---
When I read about this I squealed.  Yes I did, you can ask my husband.

Hmmmmm what else.....  oh yeah, I finished reading Clockwork Angel.  Gosh it seemed so familiar, like something I've read before......what was it???  AH yes I recall now.  It was City of Bones!  Will is practically a shoe-in for Jace.  I get they're relatives, but really?  They couldn't have slightly different personalities?
 What's that?
 No?
You're feeding off your wildly popular Mortal Instrument series and can't be bothered to come up with new character personalties?
 Oooh okay.



GAH!  Ok, what I just said seems pretty mean considering I actually did enjoy the plot for the most part.

OH wait, one more thing before I get to the positives.



















**Spoilers Ahead!!**



Ok so for those who have read this book please, oh please tell me you had the same problem with Tessa at the beginning as I did.  The Dark Sisters have her captive and tell her that if she doesn't do what they say , they will torture her brother.  So Tessa stays to keep her brother alive.  That makes sense, brotherly love and all that jazz.  But then, once Tessa has managed her shifting talent they tell Tessa that she's ready.  When Tessa asks what exactly it is that she is ready for, the Dark Sister reply that she is to be married.  Now Tessa has been with the Dark Sisters like what?  a month now? and had noooo problems being starved and harassed and such.  But mention the word marriage and THAT is what makes her want to escape?!  After all this time?!  Come on now Tessa, you had to have had some other better reason for wanting to escape then just not wanting to get married to a stranger!  FOOL!








**END SPOILERS!!**   You Can Look Now!




Back to the positives!  If I said I didn't like this book, I'd be lying.  I mean, it's not the best book I've ever read by any means.  It was basically a good book of fluff that I enjoyed, and while I'm not eagerly anticipating the next book in the series, I definitely do plan on reading it when it comes out.
Once again Clare's plots are ridiculously predictable but at least in these books (at least so far)  there isn't that creepy weird feeling ( you know what I mean to those who have read the Mortal Instruments series!!!) you get from reading it, so that's a plus HA!


I suppose that's it for now.  I'm off the watch The Princess Bride. I JUST finished the book on the plane ride home and I loved it!  well except for......nevermind, I'll tell you in my next post.

Toodles!
