<br />
Hello!<br />
<br />
It's been a long time since I've posted here. This was once a very cherished blog that I enjoyed spending a lot of time on. Unfortunately, when I went away to University (to learn how to write my own novels and to fall in love with poetry) I had little time to keep this blog up and running.<br />
<br />
I graduated from University last summer. It was the best few years of my life and I learnt so much about writing and novels. Because of what I now know, I feel as though my reviews would be drastically different to before.<br />
<br />
I've spent the last year of my life working as a Mental Health/Learning Disability Support Worker, which has also taught me a great deal.<br />
<br />
So, to all readers, writers and friends seeing this post, feel free to get in contact. I'm open to reviews once more and would especially love to add poetry to those.<br />
<br />
To check out my own published poetry, follow this link: <a href="https://sheilanagigblog.com/sheila-na-gig-online-1-3-spring-2017/maryann-nixon/">https://sheilanagigblog.com/sheila-na-gig-online-1-3-spring-2017/maryann-nixon/</a><br />
<br />
Hope to hear from you soon,<br />
<br />

<b>Title:</b> Allegiant<br />
<br />
<b>Book: </b>#3<br />
<br />
<b>Author: </b>Veronica Roth<br />
<br />
<b>Genre: </b>Dystopian<br />
<br />
<b>Goodread's description: </b><br />

<i style="background-color: #999999;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">The faction-based society that Tris Prior once believed in is shattered—fractured by violence and power struggles and scarred by loss and betrayal. So when offered a chance to explore the world past the limits she’s known, Tris is ready. Perhaps beyond the fence, she and Tobias will find a simple new life together, free from complicated lies, tangled loyalties, and painful memories. </span><br style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><br style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">But Tris’s new reality is even more alarming than the one she left behind. Old discoveries are quickly rendered meaningless. Explosive new truths change the hearts of those she loves. And once again, Tris must battle to comprehend the complexities of human nature—and of herself—while facing impossible choices about courage, allegiance, sacrifice, and love. </span></i><br />

<b><span style="color: #990000; font-size: x-large;">Review</span></b><br />
<br />
This is a long due review, but if you are one of the few that has not read the <i>Divergent </i>series yet, maybe this will encourage you. If you follow my blog, you'll know I'm a huge fan of the <i>Divergent </i>series and the dystopian genre in general; but that I hate when a series comes to an end.<br />
<br />
<br />
Allegiant is the last book in the best selling, young-adult dystopian trilogy. Although, I waited to read the book because I was denying that the series must end, Allegiant doesn't leave you feeling like there should be more to tell. It is a wholesome story and ends in the most logical and ethical way, under the circumstances.<br />
<br />
A lot of new information is given about the story, which changes how you look upon the world and the characters within it. In other reviews I have seen that some readers do not like the changes within this book but I agree with how Veronica handled the story. She managed to create a world so abstract to the one we live in and make it flawlessly believable.<br />
<br />
Although there is less action than the former books, as a reader you are compelled to read on for more information to understand the whole truth of their world. A stronger focus is put onto the relationship between Tris and Tobias, that suffers a lot due to the drastic changes in their world and environment.<br />
<br />
Allegiant tackles the disputes between families, overcoming differences and genetic boundaries. This is where young readers can learn a lot from how the characters handle these situations.<br />
<br />
The story is laced with betrayal as the characters discover each layer of lies that they have been brought up to live by. We experience this along with the characters and it makes us wonder if we too are being controlled by society or a higher power. <br />
<br />
The enemies that were established in book #1 and #2 seem minor compared to the real enemies which are revealed in Allegiant. The world expands and seems scarier and bigger than ever before and the characters begin to crave the isolation they fought against in the beginning.<br />
<br />
Tris continues to resemble a strong female character in the series that is selfless, brave and most importantly human. She is a great character for young adults to read, relate to and aspire towards.<br />
<br />
Roth resolves the ending by sacrificing a huge part of the series, and I think it works, but others may find this ending heart breaking and wrong. It is a lesson to learn that things must be sacrificed and changed for a better outcome.<br />
<br />

<span style="background-color: #999999; color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Will from ASK ME is 18 and you could call him the King of the School. That doesn’t mean everything’s perfect for him, of course, though on the outside people definitely assume that he’s got everything going for him. He’s middle height, blondish hair, blue-eyed, and has a slim build. You know, kind of the classic American good looking kid.</span></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="color: #444444; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 22.719999313354492px; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">

<span style="background-color: #999999; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: black;">The inspiration picture I have pinned on Pinterest for him (there are a few, but this was the main one) is of </span><a class="" href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/231161393346131741/" style="color: blue; cursor: pointer; font-weight: inherit;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #1155cc;">actor Christopher Atkins of Blue Lagoon fame</span></a><span style="color: black;">. But, strangely enough given that the other main boy character in the book is named Alex, the two current day actors I can picture playing Will are Alex Black and Alex Pettyfer (though Alex P. might be a little tall for Will).</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #999999; color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">They’ve both got the right hair and the right eyes -- intense eyes! Charming smiles, but also the ability to look really serious. And, perhaps most importantly, they always look at ease with themselves. Confident. Because Will has that air of being in the know, of being in charge.</span></span></div>

<br />
Sorry this is a week late, I'm up to my neck in University work. But only a week left until Easter break! But I would really like to share this amazing experience with you and if you couldn't make it I hope you're not too jealous, because you've probably been and watched it by now. If you have let me know your thoughts.<br />

<b><span style="color: #660000; font-size: x-large;"><i>Premiere Review</i></span></b><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
On Sunday 30<sup>th</sup> March, I attended the premiere of
the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Divergent</i> movie. As a reviewer
for Harper Collins, who publishes the novels of the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Divergent</i> series, I was given two free tickets to the movie. (<b>HUGE THANK YOU HARPER COLLINS. LOVE YOU FOREVER</b>)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Divergent</i>, (as many of you will know) is a film adaptation of
Veronica Roth’s dystopian novel that was released in 2011. To my biggest delight, Veronica was present
on the red carpet, wearing a stunning black dress. Joining her at the premiere were
the stars of the movie Theo James, Shailene Woodley, Ben Lloyd-Hughes and Kate
Winslet. Hmmm Theo is dreamy and Shailene is the definition of gorgeous. Shailene is also the star of the soon to be released and highly
anticipated <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Fault in our Stars</i>, (fan girls) adapted from John Green’s best selling novel. I honestly cannot wait for this film to be released. And have you heard the news? John announced on twitter that <i>Paper Towns</i> is also going to be adapted into a movie (and he will be directing! whatttt?!) Back to the review... Shaliene may soon be the biggest young
female actress in the film industry. (She's also in <i>The Spectacular Now</i>, which myself and my boyfriend really enjoyed) </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The
premiere was held in the Leicester Square Odeon, London. (May I add, this was my first time ever visiting London... little country town girl visiting the big city). Kate Winslet was heard
being interviewed on the red carpet saying that the red carpet felt bigger than
the one at this year’s Baftas’. I was overwhelmed to be present at such a huge
event and to be so close to people I admired so much (more Veronica for me, more the singer from the Pussycat dolls for my bestfriend haha). Hundreds of fans surrounded the red carpet and the queue for ticket
holders was miles long. But the movie, was soooo worth the wait. It was inspirational to see so many people love a book,
the author and its characters so deeply. I felt in young adult fiction heaven. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>People were
offered the chance to have the ‘fan experience’. This involved taking faction
tests, which exist in Divergent’s society. Actors dressed up to play the roles
of certain factions within the book, bringing the world to the fans. Unfortunately my boyfriend could not make the event (we would have totally acted like kids and joined in). I was with my best friend, who didn't want to take part, which is fair enough we are 19. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--xO18wo-kxY/U0F6XSM9WrI/AAAAAAAABAo/ksQNiKrjMLw/s1600/Screen+Shot+2014-04-06+at+17.01.04.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--xO18wo-kxY/U0F6XSM9WrI/AAAAAAAABAo/ksQNiKrjMLw/s1600/Screen+Shot+2014-04-06+at+17.01.04.png" height="320" width="320" /></a><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Those of us
who had tickets to the premiere of the movie walked the red carpet with the
actors (but unfortunately were unable to meet them) to get into the cinema. <b><span style="color: #660000;">Here is our awesome walking-red-carpet-seflie: </span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We
were asked to pick a faction band out of: Divergent, Abnegation, Dauntless,
Amity, Erudite and Candour. These bands determined where we sat in the cinema. We chose to be Dauntless, the faction in which the main character (Tris) choses, and
this lead to getting high-fives from the Dauntless dress-up actors on the red
carpet. I don't believe I am Dauntless, but I guess I would like to be that brave, I'm more Amity to be honest.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>When we got
inside, we found the factions were sectioned into seats and the seats had
t-shirts the colours of the factions on them. (free t-shirts!) Therefore as Dauntless I had a
black t-shirt. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Before the
movie began the director, Neil Burger came on to introduce the stars of the
movie and Veronica. It was a great atmosphere and being able to be so close to
an author I admired was inspirational. I wish I could have met her. The fans went wild for Veronica and the
stars.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Dystopian
is my favourite kind of young adult fiction and the Divergent series is the
best dystopian that I have read. <a href="http://wordsontheshelf.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/divergent-insurgent-by-veronica-roth.html">Read my Divergent and Insurgent review here</a>. (I plan to read Allegiant, a christmas present from my boyfriend, in the Easter holidays.) I therefore was extremely thrilled to attend
the premiere, but I went into the cinema with a lot of expectations.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The movie
adaptation did not disappoint. <b><span style="color: #990000;">IT WAS AMAZING</span></b>. I had read the book three years ago and watching
the movie was like reliving how I had interpreted the story within my head. It was incredible, I can't describe the feeling. The
movie really stays true to Veronica Roth’s novel, much to the appreciation of
Divergent fans and my appreciation! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I found the
actors fit the roles perfectly and that the soundtrack left me on the edge of
my seat for most of the film. (I now have some of the music, I loved the songs that much, they remind me of how I felt when I watched the film.) There were moments when I read the novel that
made me cry and the same emotions were felt, is not intensified when watching
the film. I did try not to cry in a room full of hundreds of strangers though. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I think for
those who have not read Divergent but go on to watch it in cinemas, after the
UK release on April 4<sup>th</sup>, will fall in love with the series too. I know most of you will be lovers of Divergent and I hope you have watched the film. This is defiantly one for the dvd collection when it comes out (and I don't own many dvd's). I
believe Divergent is a stronger dystopian than the Hunger Games and will go on to
achieve greater success. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 5.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 1.4pt;">
<i>Joe Stanton is in agony. Out of his mind over the death of his young daughter. Or so it seems.<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 5.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 1.4pt;">
<i><br />
Unable to contain his grief, Joe loses control in public, screaming his daughter’s name and causing a huge scene at a hotel on San Juan Island in Washington State. Thing is, Joe Stanton doesn’t have a daughter. Never did. And when the authorities arrive they blame the 28-year-old’s outburst on drugs.<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 5.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 1.4pt;">
<i><br />
What they don’t yet know is that others up and down the Pacific coast—from the Bering Sea to the Puget Sound—are suffering identical, always fatal mental breakdowns.<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 5.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 1.4pt;">
<i><br />
With the help of his girlfriend—the woman he loves and dreams of marrying—Joe struggles to unravel the meaning of the hallucination destroying his mind. As the couple begins to perceive its significance—and Joe’s role in a looming global calamity—they must also outwit a billionaire weapons contractor bent on exploiting Joe’s newfound understanding of the cosmos, and outlast the time bomb ticking in Joe’s brain. <o:p></o:p></i></div>

<b>I've never been to London before, except to go through it for Gatwick airport, I'm both excited and very scared (I guess I'm not dauntless then!). Unfortunately my boyfriend, who I got into dystopia through this series, can not make it at such short notice.

<i><span style="font-size: large;">Hello,</span></i></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
I can't believe I only have a couple months until my first year of University is over. That is crazy. I thought since being here I would have more time to read and review, but it's been hectic - I have been reading but books which aren't exactly my genre (for my courses). However I will get around to reviewing these books hopefully! I'm struggling to catch some time cause it's just going by so fast, but bare with me - still getting loads of requests and books mailed to me, so I have some good ones waiting.<br />

<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Joe Stanton is<br />
in agony. Out of his mind over the death of his young daughter. Or so<br />
it seems.<br /><br />Unable to contain his grief, Joe loses control in<br />
public, screaming his daughter’s name and causing a huge scene at a<br />
hotel on San Juan Island in Washington State. Thing is, Joe Stanton<br />
doesn’t have a daughter. Never did. And when the authorities arrive<br />
they blame the 28-year-old’s outburst on drugs.<br /><br />What<br />
they don’t yet know is that others up and down the Pacific<br />
coast—from the Bering Sea to the Puget Sound—are suffering<br />
identical, always fatal mental breakdowns.<br /><br />With the help<br />
of his girlfriend—the woman he loves and dreams of marrying—Joe<br />
struggles to unravel the meaning of the hallucination destroying his<br />
mind. As the couple begins to perceive its significance—and Joe’s<br />
role in a looming global calamity—they must also outwit a<br />
billionaire weapons contractor bent on exploiting Joe’s newfound<br />
understanding of the cosmos, and outlast the time bomb ticking in<br />
Joe’s brain.</span></span></i><br />

<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">I must first confess that I read this book a fair few months ago, and in the fuss of university and going home for Christmas and coming back again, I completely forgot to review it. Another confession I'm going to make is that I re-read a loved novel <i>The Faults in Our Stars </i>by John Green. So instead of reading one of my many unread books to give you new reviewing material, I read a book you already have a review on. I apologise, but you know, some books are worth rereading, time and love. However, I devote myself to read much, much more! And to actually write the reviews more, so lets start of by writing this one...</span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: #999999;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;"><b><span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></span>
<i style="font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">Are We There Yet </i><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">is the first book, for me, in a very long time, that I've sat down and read in one. I picked it up one day - hopelessly out of John Green to read, hoping there would be similarities as they wrote <i>Will Grayson, Will Grayson</i> together. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #999999;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="line-height: 19.31999969482422px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">I wouldn't say it is the kind of book that is so packed of action that you have to read it continuously. But it is mysterious, it raises questions for the characters in ways we think they'll show little humanity. The characters however show us the morals behind the book. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #999999;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="line-height: 19.31999969482422px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">The novel is based around brothers who lost their connection from when they were young, due to age differences and leaving home. They have been tricked into going on holiday together by their parents (mostly their mother) who wants her children to get along again.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #999999;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="line-height: 19.31999969482422px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">For most of the holiday the brothers stick to their ways of shutting each other out and going about their own thing - what they want to do. This is until a girl walks into both their lives and changes their perspectives.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #999999;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="line-height: 19.31999969482422px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">This character, I found, is not a particularly likeable character. She is indecisive and seems to use the main characters for what she wants. Her life seems a shambles and she wants to cause destruction in other's lives that she interrupts. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #999999;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="line-height: 19.31999969482422px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">However how the brothers deal with this interruption shows the strength of their relationship, whether they realise it is still there or not. She manages to remind one brother of his loyalty, which triggers his memories with his brother as a child. Once the initial walls come down both of the brothers become comfortable and less protective in each others company. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">This is not my typical type of novel to read, I thought the emphasis on love and relationship between the male and female characters would be more. However, I am glad I read this book as it shows how other types of relationships such as family ones, can be just as important. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #999999;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="line-height: 19.31999969482422px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">The moral of this story, to remember how much your family mean to you, and I think everyone needs to be reminded of this sometimes. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: #999999;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">On another note, isn't the cover simply beautiful?

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I feel slightly privileged and that I have no choice but to blog about this event. As Nathan Filer is also a tutor teaching Creative Writing at Bath Spa university, where I attend and take this course, I heard him read out a section of this amazing novel. Unfortunately I am not one of his students, but I feel privileged none the less to attend the university and to have basically met him. This was around two months ago - and if I had money I would have bought one of his copies right there and then. I still await to purchase a copy and hunt him down on campus to sign it for me.</span><br />

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I’m a romantic. There, I’ve
said it. And an idealist. People who know me might be surprised at that because
on the surface I’m a very realistic, practical sort of person. But deep down I
passionately wish this was a better world. And I wish everyone could find
happiness, whether with another person or alone.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So the quotation from Oscar
Wilde has always appealed to me. I’m not a big one for poetry, oddly, but I
love the way words can shape and inspire. What the phrase says to me is that no
matter how bad things get, there is always something beautiful to find and
appreciate. Even if you’re in the gutter, sitting in sewage, with nothing but
the clothes you have on, there will still be stars in the sky that you can
breathe in and allow their beauty to fill the empty space inside you. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Amina’s family loses almost everything. Through a sequence of events, Amina
finds herself separated from her brother, young sister and parents, and walking
to a refugee camp with her older sister Jenna. She has no idea if she will ever
see any of them again – indeed, she can’t even be sure if they’re still alive.
She could be crushed by grief, but she is an idealist. Amina loves to ask ‘what
if?’ – something that has got her into trouble in the past but now is an
invaluable skill. She looks up at the stars and suddenly stories are spilling
into her head. She tells the stories to Jenna, and later to people in the refugee
camp, and magic happens. For the duration of her story, people forget their
grief and distress and are lost in her imagination. Amina’s stories provide
much-needed balm for wounded souls.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br />
I just got back to uni in Bath last night, after such a lovely three weeks back home in Cornwall for Christmas.<br />
<br />
I've just realised I've forgotten to write up a couple reviews of books I've read recently... but on top of that I vow to try and read more books and review them regularly on the blog this year - it's one of my resolutions!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-noNNhp1f-68/UswJqFds2OI/AAAAAAAAA5c/J8aHX3DQ3_w/s1600/download.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-noNNhp1f-68/UswJqFds2OI/AAAAAAAAA5c/J8aHX3DQ3_w/s1600/download.jpeg" height="400" width="264" /></a>And one of the books I'm very excited about reading is indeed Allegiant by Veronica Roth, I wasn't sent the third book of the series this time, however I unwrapped it on Christmas day from my lovely boyfriend. I got him into the series too so he's just as excited to read it. It feels like so much has happened in my life since summer 2012 when I reviewed the second book in the series, so I may have to read them all again to read the final book!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><b>Hope you've all had a lovely Christmas and got lots of books!</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>

<br />
Becoming an E.K isn’t a choice for Serena – it’s a necessity to survive. To destroy the Elementals she has to leave her old life behind. She has to train and follow a strict regime. But with time against her, she has only a few weeks to master the skills Kai spent his whole life perfecting. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The knowledge passed down from her ancestors is crucial to the Elementals demise and the success of their mission. However, the path they must follow is lined with riddles, each more confusing than the next. It doesn’t matter how close to succeeding they get, it’s never enough. The Elementals are one step ahead at every revelation and that can only mean one thing – the E.Ks have a traitor among them.<br />

“Have you ever<br />
been swimming here?” I asked moving my head to watch his reaction as I brought<br />
my feet up out of the water and folded them beside me.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
“Yeah, most<br />
summers when I came here. We all used to use it as a way to cool off or just<br />
have some fun in between training.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
“How about<br />
skinny dipping?” I asked my grin growing due to the thoughts running through my<br />
head.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
“Why? You want<br />
to try it?” he challenged.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
“Only if you go<br />
first,” I laughed but stopped instantly when he removed his shirt and tossed it<br />
behind us. My eyes widened in surprise and I started to regret my words.<br />
“You’re not being serious are you?” I stuttered as he pulled off his shoes,<br />
throwing them over to where his shirt was crumpled.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
“You can’t chicken<br />
out now Rea. It was your idea,” he said smiling as he removed each sock,<br />
teasing me as they ended up with the rest of his discarded garments.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
I just stared at<br />
him, my lips moving but not making a sound as I tried to find an excuse.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
He laughed at<br />
me. “Relax Rea, I’m just teasing you. Well unless you’ve changed your mind. In<br />
that case I’m being deadly serious.” He had a cheeky grin on his face as he<br />
spoke and I pushed him hard, toppling him into the water below.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
There was a lot<br />
of splashing but Kai surfaced finally, taking a deep breath as he flicked the<br />
hair out of his eyes. I was clutching my stomach in fits of laughter as I bent<br />
over. The shock on his face was priceless.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
“Oh you are so<br />
dead Rea, so, so dead,” he said, his voice ragged as the cold water and shock<br />
affected his half naked body. I just continued to laugh as he floated in front<br />
of me, his head bobbing up and down in a comical way.<o:p></o:p></div>

<b>The world is dangerous – but love will kill you.</b> <br />
<br />
Little did Serena Jackson know that one simple, flirty remark to an anonymous guy online would lead to her world being changed forever.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
She doesn’t know him, but inexplicably, is drawn. She knows it is wrong but she agrees to meet.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
His real name is Kai. He is beautiful. And immediately Serena feels herself blindly falling for him even though she senses a lie. She knows he is hiding something and it terrifies her.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
What she doesn’t realise is that her entire life has been built on secrets and lies. The people she loved left her in the dark for a reason.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
She trusted them. She trusts Kai. But as he pulls her straight into the heart of the danger the lies and deadly secrets are revealed. They overwhelm her, and the person she once was no longer exists as she is thrown into a ruthless world of elemental forces. The price of truth is her life—and now the world wants her dead.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Mia Hoddell lives in the UK with her family and two cats. She spends most of her time writing or reading and loves anything paranormal. Mia always had a love of writing but never reading. She was more interested in sports and hated sitting still - despite getting three poems published before the age of sixteen. Finally though, she found some novels that captured her interest and developed a love of reading which is now one of her favourite hobbies.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Mia began with poems before moving on to short stories. Although she enjoyed this, Mia found she had too much to tell with too little space, so later on she created her first series 'The Wanderer Trilogy' and from there other ideas have emerged. With a total of nine books planned at this moment, she is busy working on her second series 'Elemental Killers' before moving onto the next idea on her ever growing list.<br />

<br />
Sorry it's been a while! I'm at Bath Spa University now! I moved in last Saturday (21st) and have been spending the week getting to know where I live, my flatmates, enjoying freshers and going to introductory classes! I don't actually start learning until tomorrow, although a lot of people start today - as I have Monday's off weekly (great for when I wanna go home and have a long weekend!)<br />
<br />
My uni room is stacked with books of course... five boxes (all of my books basically) I brought with me... barely fit in the car!<br />
<br />

Here's my room, you may be able to see the stacked book shelf with books behind books and books on top of books!... Also the ones in the corners and over my desk and right there on my bedside table (as well as in the little space under the draw which you cannot see)... yep they're hidden every where!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love it here, though its hard being away from family and my boyfriend!</div>

My first post arrived... guess what... it was Resist by Sarah Crossan... second book of Breathe! I loved the first book so it jumps right to the top of my reading list, be expecting that review soon!</div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: #999999; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 18px;">Warner Bros. Entertainment today announced an expanded creative partnership with world-renowned, best-selling author J.K. Rowling. At the center of the partnership is a new film series from Rowling’s world of witches and wizards, inspired by Harry Potter’s Hogwarts textbook “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” and the adventures of the book’s fictitious author, Newt Scamander. The announcement was made by Kevin Tsujihara, Chief Executive Officer, Warner Bros. Entertainment.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 16pt; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: #999999; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 18px;">“Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” will be an original story and will mark Rowling’s screenwriting debut. It is planned as the first picture in a new film series. Set in the wizarding world, the story will feature magical creatures and characters, some of which will be familiar to devoted Harry Potter fans.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 16pt; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: #999999; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 18px;">“Although it will be set in the worldwide community of witches and wizards where I was so happy for seventeen years, ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them’ is neither a prequel nor a sequel to the Harry Potter series, but an extension of the wizarding world,” said Rowling. “The laws and customs of the hidden magical society will be familiar to anyone who has read the Harry Potter books or seen the films, but Newt’s story will start in New York, seventy years before Harry’s gets underway.” (Expanded Rowling quote at bottom of release.)</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 16pt; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: #999999; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 18px;">“We are incredibly honored that Jo has chosen to partner with Warner Bros. on this exciting new exploration of the world of wizardry which has been tremendously successful across all of our businesses,” said Tsujihara. “She is an extraordinary writer, who ignited a reading revolution around the world, which then became an unprecedented film phenomenon. We know that audiences will be as excited as we are to see what her brilliant and boundless imagination conjures up for us.”</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 16pt; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: #999999; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 18px;">In addition to the film series, “Fantastic Beasts” will also be developed across the Studio’s video game, consumer products and digital initiatives businesses, including enhanced links with Pottermore.com, Rowling’s digital online experience built around the Harry Potter stories.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 16pt; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: #999999; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 18px;">The Studio’s expanded partnership with Rowling also covers the continued expansion of its Harry Potter activities, including the wonderful Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme parks in conjunction with partner Universal Parks and Resorts (currently in Orlando, FL; opening in Hollywood, CA and Osaka, Japan), digital initiatives (including Pottermore), video games, consumer products and visitor attractions.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 16pt; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: #999999; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 18px;">In addition, Warner Bros. will serve as the worldwide TV distributor (excluding the U.K.) of J.K. Rowling’s upcoming television adaptation for the BBC of “The Casual Vacancy,” her best-selling first novel aimed at adult audiences. This miniseries begins production in 2014.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 16pt; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: #999999; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 18px;">The relationship will be managed in London by Neil Blair of The Blair Partnership, Rowling’s literary agency, and Josh Berger, President & Managing Director, Warner Bros. UK, Ireland and Spain, who will serve as Warner Bros.’ chief business contact for all J.K. Rowling initiatives going forward.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 16pt; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: #999999; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 18px;">Rowling’s expanded quote regarding “Fantastic Beasts” is below:</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 16pt; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: #999999; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 18px;">“It all started when Warner Bros. came to me with the suggestion of turning ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them’ into a film. I thought it was a fun idea, but the idea of seeing Newt Scamander, the supposed author of ‘Fantastic Beasts,’ realized by another writer was difficult. Having lived for so long in my fictional universe, I feel very protective of it and I already knew a lot about Newt. As hard-core Harry Potter fans will know, I liked him so much that I even married his grandson, Rolf, to one of my favourite characters from the Harry Potter series, Luna Lovegood.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 16pt; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: #999999; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 18px;">As I considered Warners’ proposal, an idea took shape that I couldn’t dislodge. That is how I ended up pitching my own idea for a film to Warner Bros.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 16pt; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: #999999; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 18px;">Although it will be set in the worldwide community of witches and wizards where I was so happy for seventeen years, ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them’ is neither a prequel nor a sequel to the Harry Potter series, but an extension of the wizarding world. The laws and customs of the hidden magical society will be familiar to anyone who has read the Harry Potter books or seen the films, but Newt’s story will start in New York, seventy years before Harry’s gets underway.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 16pt; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: #999999; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 18px;">I particularly want to thank Kevin Tsujihara of Warner Bros. for his support in this project, which would not have happened without him. I always said that I would only revisit the wizarding world if I had an idea that I was really excited about and this is it.”</span></div>

Neil Gaiman, creator of the darkly elegant Sandman comics and author of The Day I Swapped My Dad for Two Goldfish, tells the story of young Tristran Thorn and his adventures in the land of Faerie. One fateful night, Tristran promises his beloved that he will retrieve a fallen star for her from beyond the Wall that stands between their rural English town (called, appropriately, Wall) and the Faerie realm. No one ever ventures beyond the Wall except to attend an enchanted flea market that is held every nine years (and during which, unbeknownst to him, Tristran was conceived). But Tristran bravely sets out to fetch the fallen star and thus win the hand of his love.</span></span></i><br />

<span style="background-color: #999999; line-height: 18.99147605895996px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Stardust has been one of my favourite all time films that I have watched and watched again, because it makes me happy. Then in town the other day I stumbled across this little version of the book the movie was based on, and although I tried to walk away (as my hands were already stacked with books) I just couldn't, I mean how adorable is this cover? I knew I had to read it. And sure enough not long after my purchase I put this book at the top of my TBR pile (oops) and read it in a day or two. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #999999; line-height: 18.99147605895996px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 18.99147605895996px;">I found it slightly unnerving how different the book was from the film version I knew so well, for starters there is much more detail and background about Tristan's father at the beginning of the book, where the film features him for so little a time. However, cautious as I was, wondering whether for once I would love a film version of a book more than the book itself (a no no for us readers it seems?)... I enjoyed the book with it's differences and quirks and extra detail and much much more action. Also the magical element I find is slightly more increased as well as the whole idea of the moon and the stars and their nature... which gives the whole story more stability. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 18.99147605895996px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 18.99147605895996px;">I cannot tell which I love more, as I have read the book only once and watched the film a dozen times, but I think I love each version equally in their differences. I find that the book was slightly harsher, colder and built with more suspense where as the film was to me a soft, warm fantasy full of romance and magical feelings. This is due mostly to the characters themselves and how they act in the book and the movie. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 18.99147605895996px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 18.99147605895996px;">This is particularly shown through each version's ending, the book ending... I was not expecting, having falling in love with the lovely, no loose ends, gushy ending of the film. It broke my heart, I must say... but isn't that what all great books do in the last page? And isn't feeling gushy after a romantic fantasy movie how you're suppose to feel? So therefore i conclude.. each version is magnificent in their own rights. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 18.99147605895996px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 18.99147605895996px;">I know I will read this book till the bind is broken in so many places the cover may start to peel... and I will watch the film too... as much as possible I'm sure. (Think this is a DVD purchase awaiting).</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 18.99147605895996px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 18.99147605895996px;">I'd love to know what you guys think... if you have read the book or seen the film and which you preferred or if it is one of your favourites.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 18.99147605895996px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 18.99147605895996px;">And if you haven't stumbled across Stardust yet... or have never given it ago... I say please do... it comes at a high recommendation above a lot of stuff out there from me! </span></span><br />

I sat down to decide on my favorite movies of all time, I found myself choosing
mostly older movies. At first I thought that was because I went through a phase
when my kids were little when we watched only Barney and The Wiggles, both of
which I was very grateful for because they gave me time to sit and rest while
my children were entertained. Things have changed since then and my kids are
older. In the last few weeks we saw <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The
Way Way Back</i>, which we all loved, but I wouldn’t put it on my top ten list
just yet. We also saw <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Spectacular Now</i>
– another great one which almost makes my favorites. And then it suddenly hit
me why all the movies on my favorites list are from the past – I can’t blame it
on my kids! It’s because movies need a little while to settle in – maybe even
years. There are many that I watch and love, but only time will tell if I think
about them often, or if one scene or another will pop into my mind when
something reminds me of it, or if I will quote the movie. So it is in that spirit
that I present my top five list of favorite movies – with a few runners-up. Ask
me again in ten years and I’ll let you know how <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Spectacular Now</i> settled in – the title alone is so quotable!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Elmo’s Fire</span></b></span></i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> – I think my kids are old enough to watch
this one now. I’ve watched it about thirty times. Flashes of the movie come
back to me often – the group riding in the jeep as they antique shop in
Georgetown, Judd Nelson’s character throwing the football and saying, “Wasted
love – God I just wish I could get it back.” Rob Lowe’s character explaining
the meaning of St. Elmo’s Fire and how it relates to all of them. Excuse me for
a minute, I’m going to go watch it again now!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

on me – but it did. I remember seeing it over and over again in the theater –
and being scolded because I said the dialogue along with the actors. That’s how
well I knew the movie. It is a great film – and won lots of Oscars the year it
came out including best picture. But I think one of the reasons I was drawn to
it in the first place is the boy who played the young kid in the movie lived in
the next town over from where I lived – and I was fascinated by that.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

only because it is an entirely entertaining movie, but also because it is one
of the most quotable: “Marriage is a dream within a dream,” or,
“Inconceivable,” or, “Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father,
prepare to die,” or maybe the most recognizable, “As you wish.” In fact, I took
my kids out for pizza the other night and my daughter thought the waiter looked
just like Westley from the movie so we spent the whole night saying, “As you
wish,” quietly when he walked away from the table. I tweeted about it, and it
turned out to be my most popular tweet yet. People love this movie!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

– I loved this movie even before I moved to Philadelphia. It is a great sports
film about the underdog rising up and winning. The music is amazing. Now that I
actually live here, and have for more than fifteen years, I love the movie even
more. I find it interesting, and endearing, that it is completely embraced here
– from the Rocky statue near the Art Museum to a sign on a store door in the

Hall</span></b></span></i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> – I love most Woody Allen movies – but this is
my favorite. I think of it and talk about it often, and I find it fits into so
many different corners of my life. As far as my kids go, I always laugh when we
take them to the suburbs or the country (we live right in the city) and they
don’t like the dark or the bugs, and I tell them about when Allen’s character
Alvy Singer leaves the city to go to the Hamptons and talks about hating when
the mosquitoes get stuck on the screen door. And then there’s the famous scene
when he is a boy and he refuses to do his homework because he says there is no
point, “The universe is everything, and if it’s expanding, someday it will
break apart and that would be the end of everything.” I refer to that often
when my kids don’t want to do their homework.<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />

this list is constantly changing I want to add a few runners-up to round out
the ten you asked for: <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Dead Poets Society</i>,
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Good Will Hunting</i>, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Ferris Bueller’s Day Off</i>, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">When Harry Met Sally, </i>and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Breaking Away</i>. I’ll leave you with a
quote from one of these movies that I also think of often, can you guess which
one it comes from?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: #999999; line-height: 25px;">Blood Moon is the fifth instalment in the Drake Chronicle series, a series which I have followed with releases over the past few years and have enjoyed at that younger age and still enjoy now. I find on a whole the Drake Chronicle books are humorous, romantic, dangerous and action packed all in one. Harvey has taken a more original approach to the vampire novel, creating complicated rules and systems within the book, such as how the vampire children turn into vampires when they reach a certain age, the different types of vampires and the league of vampire hunters. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #999999;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 25px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 25px;">I found Blood Moon to probably be the most action packed book in the series, as of far, due to it not focusing in on a couple people's story but seeing one big story that involves all of the characters from all of their points of view. It still involves relationships, danger, action and comedy... but in a more saturated way.. so there is more of it. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #999999;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 25px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 25px;">You know I always imagined Solange Drake as blonde? Until this book mentioned her black hair in one of the dramatic scenes.. I have a tendency to vision someone's hair colour by their personality.. including Quinn with dark hair - yet his identical twin Connor with Blonde and Nicholas with golden blonde/brown. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #999999;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 25px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 25px;">I found the relationship parts of this book particularly interesting, as it wasn't about getting the girl... it explored the difficulties of keeping up a relationship through differences and after bad situations and also shows how you can lose someone not physically but in the way their character changes - this was shown through couples, friendships and sibling relationships. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #999999;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 25px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 25px;">I found I had empathy for Lucy in particular throughout the book, and I believe she is the character a lot of the readers will use as their point of view even in the parts when it's narrated by another character. </span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 25px;">For most of the book I didn't agree with the outrageous and uncontrollable behaviour of Solange, until the change in her, which gives extreme tension to her actions and the situation... where I begin to feel empathy for her. By the end of the book, I am confused about how to feel about Nicholas, I believe he cares a lot about Lucy, but there could be damage to his character from what happened to him in this book which I am eager to find out in the next and last book in the series - Blood Prophecy.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #999999;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 25px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 25px;">This book has an extract at the back which when reading I forgot about, so it was one of those horrible moments, when you are so into a book believing you still have a fair few pages left and then it suddenly ends right in the middle of everything. Now that's a cliff hanger if I've ever read one. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #999999;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 25px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 25px;">I love the Drake Chronicles, especially this instalment in the series and can't wait to read the last book - but am a little sad it's the end. I think this kind of story that could go on for much longer as so much could happen - but all series have to end and sometimes the shorter the sweeter. I would recommend the Drake Chronicles to all readers, from about 15 and up, young adults, older readers - female and male - there are male perspectives too! It's not a mushy vampire love story - it's action, danger, fun, with a little tension between opposite sexes thrown in!</span></span></span><br />

<i style="background-color: #999999;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">After a year of hard labor in the Salt Mines of Endovier, eighteen-year-old assassin Celaena Sardothien has won the king's contest to become the new royal assassin. Yet Celaena is far from loyal to the crown – a secret she hides from even her most intimate confidantes.</span><br style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Keeping up the deadly charade—while pretending to do the king's bidding—will test her in frightening new ways, especially when she's given a task that could jeopardize everything she's come to care for. And there are far more dangerous forces gathering on the horizon -- forces that threaten to destroy her entire world, and will surely force Celaena to make a choice. </span><br style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Where do the assassin’s loyalties lie, and who is she most willing to fight for?</span></i><br />

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="background-color: #999999; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I don't usually review books like this, that are non-fiction/factual, but when I was requested by a company, I thought - why not try something new? </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="background-color: #999999; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I have not read the entire book as I
believe that will take me a fair bit of time, compared to novels, which you
would usually find reviewed on this blog, the pages of Extreme Survivors
are jam packed with facts and stories. I would describe Extreme Survivors as an encyclopaedia of many journeys and real experiences people have gone through and
recorded for our knowledge and entertainment. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #999999;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As the book is rather large, with a wide range
of survival stories, the contents page is helpful to pick out the few stories
that interest you by title, and then you can go back and read others at another time. </span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">For example, this story interested me </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">‘The Sole Survivor of Flight 626, 2009’ by title. (I guess extreme stuff entertains me) </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="background-color: #999999; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">When you come to a story page beneath the title, there is a quick brief
of the story - outlining the events which can inform you how interested you are in reading on. Below this are photographs and a table showing the main
facts/details of the story including date, situation and dangers (which can
show how severe the conditions which the person survived).<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="background-color: #999999; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The stories are then laid out in the format
of a newspaper article in columns, with sections, subheadings and quotes. The
subheadings divide the story into parts of the experience such as before, many
parts during depending on the story and after; which provides a deeper detailed
insight of the story. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="background-color: #999999; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The stories usually consist of photographs of

<span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: #999999;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Extreme survivors consists of in total, 60
stories which I believe any reader from teenagers, to young adults and older
readers who have a desire to learn, or a passion for history, geography or
maybe just find reading extreme stories with danger exciting and entertaining
(I fall into this category of reader I must confess) will thoroughly enjoy this
read. It can be a book that always belongs on your shelves, next to the encyclopaedias, dictionaries and thesauruses’.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> Its a great thing to keep one quiet and entertained, maybe for this summer whilst at the beach, if your wife is sunbathing and the kids are playing in the sand... pick up extreme survivors... I'm sure it'll keep you interested longer than a newspaper. </span> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
