And in times of war, sides must be chosen, secrets will emerge, and choices will become even more irrevocable—and even more powerful.

Cover Rating: 3.5/5 Overall Rating: 5/5 stars Synopsis :  Tough, brainy alchemist Sydney Sage and doe-eyed Moroi princess Jill Dragomir are in hiding at a human boarding school in the sunny, glamorous world of Palm Springs, California. The students--children of the wealthy and powerful--carry on with their lives in blissful ignorance, while Sydney, Jill, Eddie, and Adrian must do everything in their power to keep their secret safe. But with forbidden romances, unexpected spirit bonds, and the threat of Strigoi moving ever closer, hiding the truth is harder than anyone thought.  Populated with new faces as well as familiar ones, Richelle Mead's breathtaking Bloodlines series explores all the friendship, romance, battles, and betrayals that made the #1  New York Times  bestselling Vampire Academy series so addictive. In this second book, the drama is hotter, the romances are steamier, and the stakes are even higher. Time for the long awaited review of The Golden Lily...

Look what we have here! We all know how obsessed I am with covers and you must know the horrible moment when you realize the stunning cover you've been admiring for months is in fact another countries cover. I know I've been shocked when I receive my Amazon order and the book is ugly when I was expecting pretty. This feature will compare book covers from different countries as well as remakes and you can vote for your favorites. As I'm currently reading Starcrossed we can start with that!         USA                            UK                          German      Spanish                     Swedish                     Greek I really do NOT like the German or Spanish ones at all.

Stacking the shelves is hosted over at  Tynga's Reviews . I have now no shelf space so I am literally stacking books on top of books... I need more shelves!  I haven't done one of these for a while so I'm catching up. Warning this is a big one!    Bought : The first five books in the S hifters  series, all five for £3. Bargain right? I couldn't resist! Plus they looked so sad in the charity shop! And in the same charity shop? The first four books in the Blue Bloods series for only £2. Have I mentioned how much I love rescuing books from charity shops? Bet you can't guess where I got these... No not the same charity shop but a charity shop non the less. I really am lucky. These were more expensive though at around £10 for them all. I've seen this everywhere lately but, silly me, I was thinking it was a guyish book. The cover is two faces but I didn't spot that at first and it just looked like a guy book. Once you see it you can't un-see it though....

Well my birthday was yesterday and I was originally going to post this then but I fell asleep before I could. I have two books left to giveaway though, the first one being Tiberius Found by Andrew Goodman. Here is an interview with the author himself to tell you a little more about his book and himself. Tell me about yourself I’m a tutor from England who’sbeen writing since I was a child. Although it’s only since 2008 since I’vereally been developing the craft of writing. I’ve written a number of shortscreenplays (and was as semi-finalist in the British Short Screenplaycompetition in 2009) and have recently written a commissioned 90-minute featurefor SeeView Pictures . Apart from Tiberius Found I have three short-story collections available on Amazon for the Kindle, andnumerous short stories on other websites such as Littlerature ( http://www.littlerature.com /). My blog can be found here: http://thebeardedchild.blogspot.co.uk/ Tell me about your book/s Tiberius Found is an ...

So tomorrow is my birthday and I still have a few more giveaways to fit in. If you were wondering why I haven't uploaded any reviews recently it's because I haven't read very much. I'm in a bit of a slump but don't worry because when I get back into it I have plenty to read! Up for grabs today is a YA adventure ebook by Peter Anthony Kelley.
