Peachy Post: Book Series I STILL Need To Finish

So I am sure that many book reviewers have had a run in with this problem. You are extremely excited about a series that you have just begun reading, but you are overwhelmingly swamped with book requests and other fun blogging stuff, that you completely forgot to finish the series you primarily started with!

Well... that person is definitely me! So, I thought this might be interesting to share with you, all the book series which I still need to finish and review, and hopefully this will entice you as my followers to check back on my blog more often for new reviews!;)

Today I will mention two series which I have been dying to finish (since a very long time!!) Next Thursday I will continue with the next batch of series which I still need to complete.

Blood of Eden by Julie Kagawa

I.Absolutely.LOVE.This.Series! But don't ask me why I never got to the final installment of this series...  I read the first book, "The Immortal Rules" and the second book "The Eternity Cure". Both books are nail-biting exciting and the characters in these books are my favorite by far (besides Harry Potter's characters of course... no one beats those awesome kids)!

My Praise:
I recommend this book to all readers who are searching for a vampire story which goes far beyond its basic concept. A book that journeys you through a world with endless devastation, bundled with romance, hope and hopelessness, and oh yeah NON STOP action and thrill! This is a book you will not regret nor forget, as the next vampire book you will read you will undoubtedly and unavoidably compare to The Immortal Rules.

Book Review: Sophia Within by Jordana Lizama




My Rating:  
Book: Sophia Within
AuthorJordana Lizama
Page Numbers: 476 pages
Publication date: February 17th, 2013




Synopsis:
Only time will tell if Sophia, Alec and the world are ready to accept the mission that has been passed down for many generations. This is more than a story of reincarnation. This is a story that never ended following the reign of the Greek gods.

What has been hidden for thousands of years is about to surface in a small New England town. The impact on this rural village is ageless, but only the chosen time travelers know what is happening, the reason it is happening and how to control the outcome.

The Men of Ages have walked the Earth unnoticed since the time of Greek mythology and have kept their ancient war alive by transporting the lead warrior in a most unusual time machine. There is only one way to stop the cataclysmic demise of the human race and Sophia is the answer. But, Sophia is a teenage girl faced with many human and nonhuman desires that create a tortuous path from antiquity to the present day. Love conquers all; or, so it seems.

Peachy Book Haul for April!

                                Currently Reading   Currently Reading  

As you probably have already noticed on my blog (on the left column) I am going to be reading two books in this current month:
  • City of Ashes  by Casasandra Clare- the second book to The Mortal Instruments series
  • Delirium  by Lauren Oliver- the first book in the Delirium series.
I extremely enjoy books which have a great story to them (who doesn't??) and most of all when these stories are elongated in multiple sequels! The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare currently has 6 books (which I think remains this amount, correct me if I am wrong), thus there will be an abundance of enjoyment and wonderful imaginitions created in my head when egaging more and more into these books!

I recently finished the 1st book of the series, which was a fun, adventurous, and a great page turner and easy read. The story itself excited me and the twist in the end made me want to continue reading the next book. I have also heard from other readers that they thought the 2nd book was even better than the first, which really makes me happy!

I will therefore begin reading the 2nd book from The Mortal Instruments series which I will give a review on once I have finished it! I am quite busy with studying and moving out (I am moving to London in a month!!) so I am not sure how long I will take reading this book, but I think that also really depends on whether this book is truly page turner as most readers have claimed. Nonetheless, the synopsis once again intrigued me as the first book did, so I have no doubt that this book will be a quick read!

After I have read the City of Ashes, I will continue with Lauren Oliver's first book of the Delirium sequel called... (can you guess it?)... Delirium! I am really, really, really (really, really, really!!) excited to read this book as I am completely crazy about dystopian novels and the heroin of this book sounds amazing! She sounds like the heroin which I completely adore (brave, strong willed, and powerful in her own ways). I also enjoy books more which are written in the first person, as in my opinion only then can the reader truly put him/herself in their shoes and actually read exactly what the heroin is feeling!
Here are some of my favorite praises for Delirium:


"Delirium will tug at your heart and make your pulse race. This book reminds us that life is about more than simply existing: it's about understanding you have to experience pain in order to fully appreciate joy." --Justine Magazine 
"Those looking for romance and an action-packed dystopian tale should pick a copy of this novel"-- MTV 
 "Oliver's deeply emotional and incredibly well-honed prose commands the readers' attention and captures their hearts. With a pulse-pounding tempo of unforseen twists and turns, Lauren Oliver has opened the door on fatastic new series; the second book can't come soon enough"-- New York Journal of Books

As the New York Journal of Books states, "Lauren Oliver has opened the door on a  fantastic new series".    That is something which I really urn a book series. A book which makes you desire for more and more and makes you want to grab the sequel and relish yourself deeper into the adventurous world of the story the author so dearly creates!

I am super excited with these books and I can't wait to give my reviews and ratings on them and to let you know what I thought of them!


**Let me know in the comments below whether you have enjoyed these books (or not?) and why (without spilling any spoilers) you would/would not recommend these books to someone!


Until next time Peachy Readers!
