Let's be honest, I haven't come across anything by Sarah J. Maas that I wouldn't practically sell my soul to read again. This new book included. The first 10 chapters or so were a bit slow, slow enough that I worried about whether or not I'd enjoy this one - which was a devastating thought. But it quickly picked up speed and pretty much skyrocketed from there. Bryce is such a relatable character and this world, despite its magic and mythical creatures, is comfortable because it's so similar to reality. Her love and loyalty run so deep, she's definitely a friend I would want in my corner. She's a total bad ass, something I always look forward to when reading anything by Sarah. Now I've finished this book, the second will not be released until next year, so I'm left stewing with so many questions and theories! I'm so excited for the next book!

Another book that's been on my kindle since 2013.

Um...i don't know how to put my feelings into words about this one. The beginning bit was hard to read. I think this is the first book where domestic abuse has been described and happened in detail for me and I didn't enjoy reading it. Mia had such a shitty life at the start.

I liked Jordan a lot. He's the kind of guy I like my girls to get with in romances. Looks like a bad arse but is really a great guy once you get to know him.

Another thing I liked was that it wasn't set in a school/college environment like most other new adult books but at the same time, I kinda missed that element of football games, meeting after classes, sorority/fraternity parties... Yeah, I'm hard to please where NA books are concerned simply because I've read so many.

P.S. I love Dozer!

Black lion’s Bride ( Warrior trilogy book 2)
By Lara Adrian

As deadly as she is beautiful, Zahirah, daughter of the King of the Assassins, steals into the camp of the English army. She intends to murder King Richard, but her plan only delivers her into the hands of the enemy and puts her at the mercy of the dashing Black Lion, Sebastian of Montborne. Seeing only a mysterious beauty in need of his protection, Sebastian is unaware that Zahirah is the enemy he has sworn to destroy. Caught in a web of passion and deception, they now risk their lives to share a forbidden love.



I’m a sucker for historical romances and loved the first book in this series. I also enjoyed this one although I did find it a bit harder to fall into Sebastian is amazing it took me a little longer to like Zahirah! Overall it was a good read and would recommend

I hope I am not the only one that hears the echoes of Citizen Cope.

“sky high that’s a nice view
you called and i came thru
this is how i say i love you”
— Gabriel Black

It's a flow, there's some understated lyrics, and Sofi de la Torre's voice adds a nice coat of syrup to the core confection. This song took me by surprise. It's not exactly a roots track, yet is in the sense that it is modern and throwback at the same time. That OG self-titled Citizen Cope record was 16 years ago so it makes sense that the feeling is back.

Jump is not just a reanimation of some golden era of genre synthesis, it feels like the voice at every house party. It is the first premise of youth, as stated by David Bowie so many years ago: we are immune to your consultations. If you jump then I jump too.

I just had a look at the new Item Description Widget. It's a great idea, something which I'd love to use, but for me I think it would need a few more elements before I fully make use of it. Currently I use an IMDb widget on my blog, which I just pass a unique movie or TV show ID and it generates a box on my page (see attached screenshot). It includes director and writer info, along with runtime. The names of the people are all links so that you can click to see more about them on IMDb.


While I appreciate that you probably can't have links to the people within your widget, and all of that info is reliant on somebody having entered that information into the database in the first place, I do personally think it would be good to include a bit more info as an option. Just my opinion, interested to hear anyone else's thoughts though.

Thanks @Lee - this has all been noted, especially if it means you will replace your existing widgets 😊
