Stacking the Shelves is hosted over at  Tynga's Reviews . I haven't done one of these for a while so there is quite a few of them. I am hoping to get back into the swing of things and post these more regularly from now on. Click the book covers for the Goodreads information on them. Bought: After reading and loving Looking For Alaska, I just had to go out and get more from John Green and my under stocked book shop only had these two, otherwise I would've bought a lot more. Eve and Adam appealed to the feminist in me and the synopsis looks awesome. I've had my eye on Ultraviolet for some time and I just had to get it when I saw it was on sale! I've read both of these and I am happy to say they were both 5 star books. Reviews coming soon... The Raven Boys looks amazing and the Hush Hush series IS amazing so I suspect the final book will be just as much. If Costa Coffee says it's good, who am I to judge? Borrowed From The Library :  This will probably be my classi...

Series: Mythos #1, Oracle of Delphi #2.5 Genre: Young Adult, Mythology  Release Date: April 23rd 2013 Source: ARC From Author Overall Rating: 5/5 Stars Cover Rating: 5/5 Stars Synopsis:  From the moment Strafford Law saw Chloe Clever, he knew he was destined to love her forever. But a dishonorable past and a bleak future threaten to destroy him before he gets the chance. Looking back, he recalls his life before it came crashing down around him...a time when the one he now loathes most of all was the one he adored more than anything. I'm not normally one for a novella but this one was different. The book centers on Strafford Law, aka the tortured soul, Demi-god we all love from the Oracle of Delphi series. The story follows him through flashbacks ranging from when he was a child to just before he met Chloe. I liked seeing him without Chloe in this because, although I like her, when she's not there the story is more focused on his relationship with his family whic...

As promised here is the first part of the YA Handbook. The ultimate guide for creating the most stereotypical Young Adult novel in existence. Rule One: Kill off one or both parents As Seen In: Evermore, Series Of Unfortunate Events, The Hunger Games, The Vampire Diaries... At least we can date vampires... Have you ever read a YA book and wondered where the parents were while their teenagers were off hanging around with vampires or nearly being killed every other day? Then you remember that their parents were killed tragically in a car crash/doing the exact thing they always do. Their reckless behavior must be left over grief from their parents early demise, right? Why do they do it? Because if the parents were around we, as readers, would start questioning their abilities as parents and we can't have that! So the solution is to just get rid of them so the children have excuses to rebel! Rule Two: The Heroine has to be 'special' As Seen In: Twilight, House of Night, Vamp...
