Yeah she's cut it really short ~

The split in the films has been released ~

I'm hoping my copy of this arrives tomorrow, I'm really looking forward to reading it!

I finished Fear The Worst this afternoon and I rather enjoyed it The first two books of the Hunger Games trilogy came today too and I'm so tempted to start them, but I'm going to try and wait 2 weeks until the final one is released so I can read them all together So instead I'm reading Eve Edwards - The Other Countess.

Thank you I'm glad you enjoyed them both too! I haven't read anything by him, is there something in particular you'd recommend? I am doing pretty well thank you, I hope you are too! Thanks Charm, you will love Waking The Witch! Thanks Paula, I hope you enjoy it! I hope you enjoy them!

Linger by Maggie Stiefvater - No. of pages: 416 Rating: 4.5/5 Series: The Wolves Of Mercy Falls (Book 2) Synopsis: It's about after. What happens after you discover there are werewolves in the wood, after you've fallen in love for the first time, after you've lost what you think you can't live without, after you've become someone you can't live with. Sam, who spent most of his life as a werewolf, has undergone an unlikely cure and no longer transitions between fur and skin as the temperature changes from cold to hot. This should be a happy time for Sam and true-love Grace, but just as he begins to trust his new human life, Grace feels herself slipping away. Sam's focus is split between worry for Grace and his role as caretaker of the werewolf pack, which for the first time in years includes new members. Review: Grace finally has what she's always dreamed of - Sam, in human form. But of course, love never runs smoothly, and the couple start coming across many obstacles to their life together. Isabel is trying to recover from the death of her brother when she meets Cole, and together they find a way to discover the meaning of truly living. I absolutely adored Shiver, which has been one of my favourite reads in recent history, so although I was massively looking forward to Linger, I was also a bit apprehensive about where the story would go. I have to admit, I never imagined before I started reading it that it would end the way it did, that was a complete surprise, but it's a plot point I guessed pretty early on when reading it. I loved that Isabel and Cole were narrators, Isabel is a great character, and I never imagined that I would enjoy reading her chapters as much as I did. Cole grew on me as the book progressed and we learned more about him. Sam is... well he's Sam, and I can honestly say I have a serious crush on that boy! Sam and Grace are such a perfect couple though and so I can't wait to read the final book in the trilogy to see how it all ends, because this is such a fantastic series, with great, lovable characters. I would definitely recommend Shiver and Linger both! Dark Goddess by Sarwat Chadda - No. of pages: 371 Rating: 4/5 Series: Billi SanGreal (Book 2) Synopsis: Billi SanGreal is a Knight Templar and has thrown herself utterly into their brutal regime, shutting herself off from everyone and everything. But when Billi finds herself at the heart of a savage werewolf attack, she knows their target – a young girl – must be rescued at all costs. For this is no ordinary girl. Vasalisa is an avatar with an uncontrollable force within – and it’s not just the werewolves who want her. The Dark Goddess wants to sacrifice Vasalisa and use her powers to unleash unimaginable catastrophes and devastation. Can Billi protect Vasalisa from the ancient goddess – and at the same time stop her from destroying the world? Review: Billi SanGreal is a member of The Knights Templar, and fights to rid the world of the Unholy. So when Billi saves a young girl from werewolves, she's pleased that she saved a life. But then she finds out that the werewolves will stop at nothing to get Vasalisa, as their Goddess wants her desperately. It falls to Billi to protect Vasalisa, or risk killing all of mankind... I hadn't heard of this series, or this author when I was sent this book for review, but the fact it was about The Knights Templar piqued my interest, and I was excited to read something new about them. Another thing that caught my attention was the cover. I know they say never to judge a book by its cover, but this is the exception where you absolutely must judge it by its cover! It's gorgeous, and ties in to the book perfectly, it's definitely one of the best covers I've ever seen for a book. The story itself was gripping from the offset, I really enjoyed reading about the chase across Russia, and found everything was so fantastically described that it almost felt like I was running through the freezing snow with Billi myself. I was also really surprised to find how deeply the author had researched, and it clearly shone through during the story, especially when it came to the tales about Baba Yaga. This was a great read, and I will definitely be going back and reading the first book Devil's Kiss, and I really hope there's more to come from Billi SanGreal. Waking The Witch by Kelley Armstrong - No. of pages: 325 Rating: 5/5 Series: Women Of The Otherworld (Book 11) Synopsis: The orphaned daughter of a sorcerer and a half-demon, Savannah is a terrifyingly powerful young witch who has never been able to resist the chance to throw her magical weight around. But at 21 she knows she needs to grow up and prove to her guardians, Paige and Lucas, that she can be a responsible member of their supernatural detective agency. So she jumps at the chance to fly solo, investigating the mysterious deaths of three young women in a nearby factory town as a favor to one of the agency's associates. At first glance, the murders look garden-variety human, but on closer inspection signs point to otherworldly stakes. Review: Paige and Lucas have gone on holiday, so when someone comes to the agency with a job, Savannah decides to take it on alone to prove she's ready to do it. But as she delves into the secrets in the small town where three women have been killed, Savannah uncovers a lot more than she bargained for, and it takes everything she has to find the killer... First off, I have to say, I absolutely love this series, and I always eagerly await new installments, however, my favourite characters are the wolves, and my least favourite are the witches. That's not to say I don't enjoy the books with the witches in, because I do, but there's just something about the characters I don't connect with so much. So I was a little apprehensive about reading Waking The Witch, because not only was it the witches, but it was from a new perspective too, so I wasn't sure I was going to like it as much as I did Frostbitten, which I absolutely loved. However, I was so pleased to find I really enjoyed Waking The Witch, and I could barely put it down once I started it. Savannah has fast become one of my favourite women, and I cannot wait for the next book which is also from her point of view. It was nice to see the transition from Savannah being Paige's young ward, to Savannah being a woman in her own right, capable of looking after herself. The plot was great as well, I loved all the little twists and turns, although I did suspect about half way through who the killer was, and I was kind of right, but again there was a great twist that I wasn't expecting and that's why I love these books. I'd definitely recommend this series, it's one of the best I've read about supernaturals, and Kelley Armstrong is a fantastic writer. And now I'm about to start Fear The Worst by Linwood Barclay, which I'm really looking forward too

I'm not sure if any of you can help me, but I figured I had nothing to lose by asking here. My gran is looking for a cross stitch of a lady's head with a hat on, I guess something along the lines of this. The one I just linked to is all I could find, but I'm not sure if it's quite right, so I was wondering if any of you knew of any? It'd be a great help!

I finished Waking The Witch yesterday, and I'm not sure what to read next, thinking I might try Linwood Barclay's new one Fear The Worst if I can get in to it.

Linkin Park - Points Of Authority

Season 6 of Grey's Anatomy

I just finished Dark Goddess, really enjoyed it Now I'm starting Kelley Armstrong - Waking The Witch, I've been waiting to read this one for what seems forever

I really want a foot tattoo too, and I've even found the design I'd love to have (it's not so much on the top of the foot though, it comes down and around from the ankle) but I've heard that tattoos on the feet fade really quickly because of shoes rubbing on them, which puts me off slightly. I've also become really attached to the idea of getting 'This too shall pass' tattooed on my inner wrist in a pretty font. Do you think that would look good?
