"Afghanistan, 1975: Twelve-year old Amir is desperate to win the local kite-fighting tournament and his loyal friend Hassan promises to help him. But neither of the boys can foresee what will happen to Hassan that afternoon, an event that is to shatter their lives. After the Russians invade and the family is forced to America, Amir realizes that one day he must return to Afghanistan under Taliban rule to find the one thing his new world cannot grant him: redemption"
Review:
Okay I know I don't normally read books like this but I can safely say I adored this book, it is a gripping story which will play on your heartstrings can defiantly make you shed a tear or two, and the fact that this it is based off things that have actually happened make it a gripping read that will not disappoint you, as I could not put it down even though this is not the type of book I normally read it was so much better then I thought it would be

Goddess By Josephine Angelini
Name: Goddess
Author: Josephine Angelini
Rating: 5 out of 5
Blurb:
'She wrapped her arms around his chest and let the tears come . . . for Orion, for herself and for Lucas. She had power over the most magnificent forces on earth, but she still didn't feel like she had power over the most important thing of all - her own heart'
Helen's powers are increasing - and so is the distance between her and her mortal friends. To make matters worse the Oracle reveals that a dangerous traitor is lurking among them, and all fingers point to Orion. Still unsure whether she loves him or Lucas, Helen is forced to make a terrifying decision or risk all-out war
My Review:
Why is this series over? It can not be the end! Goddess is a beautiful book which has disappointed me what so ever I just can't believe the series is over. The book is beautifully written and is probably the best in the series, with its breathtaking cover it has been a truly magical story with everyone and we do not forget those who were there at the start and are sadly no longer there as this tale of love sadly comes to a beautiful end. All I can do now is wait for Angelini's next book series.

Good news, I guess
I have decided that I will start making video vlog to read stacks things, they will probably be once a month or something because otherwise books will probably get repeated over and over again so yeah. I will probably create the odd extra vlog though as well like if I really feel a book and I have to show you my emotions about the book. So yes that is all but this blog will still be my main feature. So yay!
Off to read some more of Hades so see you in a bit

Goddess!
Omg! Mega book Hyp! I was just checking to see if 'Goddesses' realease date had been set yet in the UK and I saw the cover its beautiful and you don't understand how hyped I am it coming out on the 6th June! OMG I love those books Starcrossed and Dreamless are simply breathtaking they are that good and I'm sure Goddess will be just as good if not better! Plus all of the covers are to die for so! But I'm really sad that this is the last book in the series, I'm going to just be walking round the house mopping again after reading this I can tell, like I was after reading Rpature, wait I still do that for Rapture it was so good, it can't be the end it was just the start ohhhh *goes and cries* There's some books you never truly get over.

Free Books for kindle!
Heya, please don't hate me because I haven't been on in ages but I've been a very busy girl revising and doing all of my homework so please don't hate me!
I'm currently reading 'This is a call' By Paul Brannigan, its the life and times of Dave Grohl and I am a huge fan of his music so!
But I'm here today to talk about free books for kindle!
I know when you buy a free book, its a risk on whether they book is actually going to be any good, and so far I've read four kindle free books and they are Earth; Betrayal; Coexist and Shimmerspell. And two have been good and two bad so.
Heres a free one that I've Just downloaded:
Tears of the Broken (Dark Secrets) By A.M.Hudson
Vampires do not care about the myths people believe. They feed on humans, walk in the daylight, and no, they certainly do not sparkle. The only problem is, they don't usually fall in love with their food, either. But David Knight is about to discover that love knows nothing of morals or laws.
When Ara-Rose learns the truth about her boyfriend, David, she will be forced into a world of death and secrecy. Living each day on a path lit by predictability, Ara had never imagined such nightmares could exist. Now, her fate is measured by a choice between eternal love and a normal life, a decision she only has until the end of the summer to make.
