HAPPY BLOGAVERSARY

It is someones birthday today and if you haven't guessed it by the title, then it is ours! No Ely and I are not birthday twins, so this means that it is the celebration of this very blog! Through non stop posting for weeks to non stop posting everyday, "a book so fathomless," has been and will continue to be our very own slightly unusual baby. If we go a little bit more into that scenario, then I would have to say that Ely is the mother and I'm the Father who goes to work a lot. Yeah, I know.

So without furthermore, here is what I have to say at 10:42 at night!

Thank you to our all our viewers and authors who have spent their time reading the blog and sending out books for us to review. We enjoy every moment of those books and love to see the amount of views we get from all the readers on the blog. I do believe that sometimes we think that no one is viewing our blog, and those comments and emails really make us smile. Every click counts!

And of course, I have to thank Ely Dickens. For being such a patient little booger for when I forget to post on the blog for a month and for being our main leading lady on our email. This is where I tell her that though she is the one that replies to all the emails, I go on Gmail every single day just to check what she has written, though i don't necessarily reply myself. I can't help it, i'm antisocial. Anyway, she does so much work for this blog and I can never thank her enough. This blog would wither and die without you, Els. I would wither and die without you.



Remember: 
Check out the posts coming up this month for our Blogversary special. We've got giveaways from some very exciting authors and blog tours topped off. Thank you to all the authors who kindly agreed to being on the blog after Ely's massive Gmail emailing session. It means so much to us!

Love you always
Chami!

OOP'S I DID IT AGAIN? (BOOK PROBLEMS)

I don’t know if this happens to you, but it definitely happens to me. Your reading a book that is just amazing...until you finish it and wait about a week or so, and you begin to rethink the situation. Like reading the book stole you up in it’s glory and you couldn’t look at the big picture until you finally stepped away. That happens to me a lot. If it happens to you leave a comment down below telling us what books made you feel that way. So here’s a list of books I thought were a let down after the reading period. There is a high chance that if you find a review for any of these books it will be in the higher section of the scale, and then you’ll realise how wrong I felt afterwards.

 

The Mortal Instruments and The Infernal Devices’ Series:

You may be thinking, ‘You’re Nuts Chams,’ but I can’t deny what is right in front of me. Let me just state that I have nothing against the fabulous author that I’ve been very lucky to meet. But I just can’t love these books. They are great in the moment of reading, but now that I’ve stepped away there is just something that makes me mad about them. I can’t make a justified judgement on them, but I just have that feeling. Anyone with me?

Shiver Series by Maggie Steifvater

Again, I’ve had the luck of meeting this fabulous author, but her books just don’t do it for me. I think Ely is with me on this one (I’m not sure but she is a babe) because she did give a high score for The Scorpio Races but when I asked her whether to read it or not, she said that it wasn’t that good now that she thought about it. The main character is just so frustrating and Sam, in his point of view, just seems like he is perving on other girls. I wouldn’t go back to reading that series if it was my choice, and for the record, I dislike werewolves, but not enough to despise a book on it.

Insurgent by Veronica Roth

I wasn’t happy with this book. Divergent is my second favourite book (previously first but replaced by the Shatter Me series) and to read this was just such a clutter of disappointment.  I reread the Divergent book before reading Insurgent to clear up on information, but that still didn’t make me feel better on how confusing and jam packed of things I couldn’t care for. Why was Amity the symbol of the book? They barely spent that much time there. One choice can enrage me, my friends.

So what does everyone think? Have any books that you've mistaken for five stars when they were actually two? Or just that nasty feeling that has got you saying the "no no no's."
