Little Update
so i thought I would do a little update on the Mission that I describe in an early post in full...i have completely enjoyed making this a challenge for myself to finish all of the books with their sequels that are in the Glassheart Chronicles... and now all i have left are Soul Quest, I Wish..., and The Understorey...it's looking pretty exciting because I'm thinking this impossible mission might actually be possible!...but i definitely have decided that I am not going to stop reading books from all of these AMAZING authors once school starts...i have grown addicted to reading and TV is just a bore right now because it can't draw me in like all of these authors have been able to...also I have to read all of the sequels that are coming out!!! Every Single book/series that I have read/started has a sequel that isn't out yet...so hopefully that will keep me pretty busy...the suspense of what's going to happen in all 5 of the series I have started is KILLING ME...so they need to come out soon...I can't believe I have only FOUR books left before I get to dive into The Glassheart Chronicles!!!

Fated
Author: Courtney Cole
Summary (from Goodreads)
Seventeen-year old Macy Lockhart thought she had it all figured out.
As a Keeper in the ancient organization, the Order of the Moirae, she literally holds fate in her hands. She lives over and over in lives that end tragically; all to further the good of mankind as she does her part to control destiny.
But there’s one lesson that she hasn’t learned well enough. Nothing is ever what it seems.
Startling new revelations about her identity surface and Macy realizes that she’s more important than she ever imagined. As she struggles to grasp her new reality, everyone she loves is threatened. Is she strong enough to save them all?
My Review :)

Every Last Kiss
Author: Courtney ColeSummary (from Goodreads)
What would you do if you held Fate in your hands? 17-year old Macy Lockhart has the weight of the world on her shoulders. For thousands of years, she has been a Keeper in the ancient organization, the Order of the Moirae… and she literally holds fate in her hands. But this is something that she forgets because her memories are wiped clean in every life until it is time for her cycle to start again. For the last two thousand years, this has never been a problem. Until now. And now…Fate, the very thing that Macy was born to keep, is being challenged and she has only one choice: To return to a previous life to fix it; a life where she was Cleopatra’s handmaiden, Charmian. And that’s not all. Unless she interferes with the fabric of time, the very thing she has returned to repair, her soul mate will die leading Marc Antony’s forces against Rome. Can she really stand aside and allow the love of her life to die all over again?
My Review!!!
okay so I just finished Every Last Kiss by Courtney Cole...I'm now making it part of my MISSION to review the books I read..so i can blog about it...this would be my first "official" review ever...so we will see how it goes...okay so no surprises here I loved the book (in previous "reviews" that I have done this is where I would've pretty much stopped), but now I'm going to go into why i loved it so much...okay so not your typical book...before this book I would definitely shy away from anything having to do with "history" or the setting be in the past...but somehow Courtney Cole has changed my mind...she put a very interesting twist on Ancient Egypt and gave it a modern feeling while staying true to the setting...it also kept me on my toes...no where in the book could I figure out what was going to happen in the end...not only that but once I got to the end I felt like that book could stand by itself...so I wasn't dying to start reading Fated (2nd book in The Bloodstone Saga) while I was writing this review...and like so many other romance novels I have read I loved the strong, gentle, masculine, chivalrous male role Hasani played...this is something guys should pay attention to...CHIVALRY ISN'T DEAD...girls still love it and shouldn't have to only fantasize about it in books

Not Normal
okay so I know I'm not a normal blogger...I hate grammar and punctuation and spelling things correctly...i just don't care...I found myself yesterday worrying about what the great unknown...called cyberspace...would think of my blog...all i could think of is that I'm not the normal blogger because of my lack of liking things that are pretty essential to writing...and worrying about if I was putting too many posts out in one day or too little...but then i remembered who this is really for...who cares what the vast unknown thinks...I can do whatever I want...and I don't have to follow any kind of "blog code"...so i just wanted to put it out there...I'm not normal
