My Week in Review #4

This past week has been a busy one.  I decided to get rid of all my other accounts and just start full force with using @CrossroadReview for everything. That means that my daily life shares etc will all be on this one account.  It has taken such a load off my shoulders.  

#Shelfie: Series?

 

This Shelfie weekend we're talking about series.  Do you read them as they come out or do you wait for them all to come out and then binge read them all together?  

#BookReview: Secret of Souls (Age of Endings #1) by @aubriewrites

  After witnessing something dark and strange on a routine mission, Zephera Travelle– a nineteen-year-old assassin with a weakness for braided cinnamon bread and an affinity for murder–is thrust on a seemingly impossible quest to save her world.

Teaming up with her best friend and three warriors with flexible morals, she starts her journey on a search for a woman called “The First.” As a 500-year old cycle is about to start anew, creatures from The Lands of Somber have begun to invade, bringing with them a dark and deadly plague called The Decay. Zephera realizes that there may be more to this mission than simply finding “The First.”

She comes to realize that everyone in her life may not be quite what they seem, as more about the curse that separated their realms is revealed. She soon discovers The Lands of Somber might not be so evil after all, and perhaps it is her realm that is filled with Darkness. She holds the lit match and must choose whether to resurrect the world, or help it burn.

#CoverReveal: Starr Gone by @KimBriggsWrite @bookunleashed #Giveaway

     ⭐⭐⭐ UNVEILING A NEW COVER ⭐⭐⭐

Publication Date: June 3, 2017

Add to Goodreads

A Starr gone. A team betrayed.

You never know who your true friends are until a gun’s pointed at you. One will take a bullet, and the other will pull the trigger. Starr learned that lesson the hard way.

The perfect smile. A killer attitude. General Treadwell wanted nothing more than to turn Starr Bishop into the ideal assassin, but she’s far more valuable as Jessica Chamberlain, granddaughter and heir to Chamberlain Chocolates. Luckily, he’s found two enthusiastic replacements. They lack Starr’s intelligence, but no matter, they possess their own weapons of persuasion along with a flair for the dramatic, and that’s never a bad thing.

Di, along with Christian, Frank, Ben and Coda, are determined to keep Starr safe, but the depths of betrayal crack the very foundation of the team. When Starr becomes a pawn in a game of power, money, and manipulation, Di channels her WWSD (What Would Starr Do) to rally the team. She owes her best friend that much. No... More.

#BookTour: The Librarians and the Mother Goose Chase (The Librarians #2) by Greg Cox #Giveaway

  For millennia, the Librarians have secretly protected the world by keeping watch over dangerous magical relics. Cataloging and safeguarding everything from Excalibur to Pandora’s Box, they stand between humanity and those who would use the relics for evil.

Stories can be powerful. In 1719, Elizabeth Goose of Boston Massachusetts published a collection of rhyming spells as a children's book, creating a spellbook of terrifying power. The Librarian of that age managed to dispose of all copies of the book except one, which remained in the possession of Elizabeth Goose and her family, temporarily averting any potential disaster.

However, strange things are happening, A window washer in San Diego who was blown off his elevated perch by a freak gust of wind, but miraculously survived by landing on a canopy over the building entrance. A woman in rural Pennsylvania who was attacked by mutant rodents without any eyes. And, a college professor in England who somehow found herself trapped inside a prize pumpkin at a local farmer’s market. Baird and her team of Librarians suspect that the magic of Mother Goose is again loose in the world, and with Fynn Carson AWOL once again, it is up to Cassandra, Ezekiel, and Stone to track down the missing spellbook before the true power of the rhymes can be unleashed.

Show Sunday: My Little Pony, The White Princess, and Horror Movies!

My Little Pony

This past week we finally got to see the first 4 episodes of My Little Pony season 7. We all agree that well this has not been the best that they can do.  We were hoping for some massive excitement but it just didn't work out so far.  

The White Princess

I have to say that I love what they have done with Lizzy's character!  I really loved to find out that in the book Henry did rape her but in the show they wanted Lizzy to be stronger. And well its worked out so far.  I do think its slightly odd that over the course of 2 episodes she gets knocked up and is now over 5 months pregnant. And yup you guessed it episode 3 she has a baby.  I guess they are really trying to get this show on the move on.  

Horror Movies Galore

Since I have been sick this past week (Im doing this post last Sunday, Just FYI) We (the girls and I) have been sitting around watching all the horror movies we can stand.  So far we haven't really found scary ones but we have found some thrillers.  So far we have watched. 

The Boy, Eraser, Bless this Child, Within (those people were stupid), and were still going since its like only 3pm at the time that I am writing this.
