Another Day Almost missed

Well I updated by day for the 7th on the 8th, and now the 8th on the 9th. Darn, I have to get better at remembering to update all of this.

Well I did make it to my 6,489 word count goal, early in the day, and late at night, I started world building off of the fact that I already had. Fleshing out my book some. So far I'm really liking it.

So anyways, my current word count is 6,808 I believe.

I have to reach 10,603, by the end of today.

That's only 4 thousand words I have to write. No biggie.

Okay maybe a slight biggie, seeing as how I'm distracted on fleshing the story out.

Oh well, I can do this, I can so do this.

So for my quota 2 days ago, I had 5,449.

I wrote just over 1,000 in the day, reaching my over all goal.


I've also started reading again, and should be posting a book review soon, after I finish my word count quota for today that is. If you are curious, I'm reading The Accidental Demon Slayer by Angie Fox. Hope you're excited for that one.

Awakening by Karice Bolton

I have to give this book a 3.5 out of 5 stars.

This review will contain **Spoilers**

I was okay with this book. It went a little slow for me, and I felt like for a few chapters I was on repeat. But once I got past that, I loved the idea, the plot, the characters, and everything that happens.

I'm not going to lie, the foreshadowing was done great, I didn't expect anything to happen to Athen, at least not in this book. I'm also hoping I can get the next book in the series so I can find out what happens next.

Ana, seems like an okay protagonist. But I do like how she came into her powers quickly. I just wish she hadn't hidden her dreams, for one being that even if she had shared them, nothing would have changed, they couldn't prevent what happened, they can't prevent a legion gathering together, the most the can do is prepare themselves for something bad about to happen, warn the other families to be on high alert.

I loved Arie and Cyril, most Arie, she was just so upbeat, and so into the holiday mood, she had to decorate to houses, and throw a party a week or 2 after they move into their new house.

I'm still not sure how I feel about Athen, I mean he's sweet, and clearly cares about Ana a lot, but he's a lot of the time, it's seems like he's in a competition to show more affection then his sisters boyfriend. A little weird in my opinion. But on top of that, he seems overly cocky, until he gets his ass handed to him that is, then we don't know what he's like. I think they should have started her with learning to fight as soon as possible, since they knew something was up, why would they be okay with leaving her to fend for herself?

Well, oh well, the book is a great read, and I would recommend it if you have or even haven't read any of Bolton's other works. She has a nice writing style, and everything is beautifully written.

My next book is going to be Few Are Angels by Inger Iversen

Back In The Saddle

Of sorts.

Simply put I'm back to reading, not as quickly as I would normally read, but I'm reading none the less.

I'm over halfway done with Awakening by Karice Bolton, and by the end of today, I'll for sure be finished with it, and started on my next book.

Only problem is, what book should I read next?

Also while going through my read list, I realized I never put a book on a review. Sadly it's been too long for me to do a good review, but I can do a small overview of a review of it.

Fallon by Valerie Zambito
I have to give this book a 3.5 out of 5 stars

This review will contain **Spoilers**

Fallon and her family die, and they all get to choose their own paths in Emperica, pretty much what we would say is heaven. She chooses to return to earth, and fight demons, called kjin. And while doing this, shes thrown into a previous knights job partner.

That all seems good, but the job partner, former cop Kade, his uncle is the big baddie in the book, along with a few other important people.

And during the big, I'm going to guess was the climax, the Ha'Basin, or demons big way to hurt an angel, her friend comes in, and tries to save her, but can't do anything, so instead, he starts setting her free, gives her a weapon, and sacrifices himself. So heroic. All of that, after planting a kiss.
I am curious what happens to him, what with the war starting, and him being stuck in emperica for the rest of time.

Seems pretty normal, nice book, easy to follow pace, not too quick, but definitely not too slow. Worth the read.

Also I loved the ending, true love never fails. It does take it's time, for some odd reason.
