Just share your love of books through a picture and that's it ;) -She usually posts them on wednesdays~  So make sure you stop by her blog and share the love! *********************************************** Today's Picture "It won't happen to you. You're too strong. You'll fight it, just like you did this time." Shadow Kiss by Richelle Mead -VA #3- I can't remember when I took the picture. But it was a trip I had to make because I was my grams and mom's driver :D  We went to this tourist place... they had a statue of some virgin there, but that's NOT what caught my attention. At all. What did completely amaze me, were ALL this plaques. ...

~...Fighting is easy. It's WHY we fight that matters...~ PLEASE PLEASE TELL ME THAT THE STORY ISN'T OVER! I soooooooo thank my god in heaven that I read the series when all the books were out AND when there's a spinoff coming out just around the corner... I can't even begin to tell you what a great series this is...and even though I don't like how some endings were a bit loose...now I won't complain because of Bloodlines and the next books to come... Rose Hathaway has earned my complete respect for her, her personality, choices, craziness, and her utter ability to put those she loves the most first and before her. I won't give you the complete detail list of all the amazing characters that Richelle introduced us to, and made us fall in love with...there are WAAAY TOO MANY though I still have my favorites...say, like, Mason, Abe, Christian, Jill, Sydney, a certain Romanian family...and soooo much more... the characters that took my breath away weren...

~ "Rose, I cheat at cards and buy liquor for minors. But I would never, ever force you into something you don't want..." ~  This is a book that kept me on edge since the beginning and might be the one where we FINALLY see the true nature of our heroine Rose THOUGHTS :/  -What's with me and loooving the underdogs of books lately? -Spirit ROCKS! -Irritated soo many times because of a certain couple who proved to be extremely proud to admit their mistakes! -Impressed by how selfish and self sentered this girl is...WOW I hated HER soooooo many times is not even funny... I trully was disappointed I didn't think that someone could be that reckless and take advantage of the love that people have for her. FEELINGS  This book shows you just how far someone is willing to go and sacrifice for love, forget the consequences, people who cares about you, even death...all of that is completely ignored when your heart is set and decided to love and save someone.... A...

~"You forgot my first lesson: Don't hesitate."~   Far away from home, having chosen love for friendship...if in Shadow Kiss I said Rose was strong in this book she's completely the opposite. We finally see her crack under that strong facade of hers. Now she meeets blond/tattoo/formal Sydney, discovering a whole new side of the vampire world she didn't know. Looking for someone to keep a promise and at the same time being chased by some unknown person, AND watching how she's loosing her best friend and possibly her home...can prove to be challenging. Awesome new characters that takes us deeper into spirit element and its uses and others that prove to be kind of scary... Will she be able to accomplish her goal before getting killed? OR Will she give up life as she knows it, feeling she no longer has a place to go, and let some special one AWAKEN her? With an ending that took my breath away... 5/5

~ "We can't..." he told me. "I know," I agreed. Then his mouth was on mine again... ~ 3rd book! I'm sad and hate to tell you I almost gave up on this book, almost. The start for me was sooooooooo slow I really had to drag my eyes while reading again, almost, the first 100 pages and believe me that is NOT good for me!Until finally, finally! BOOM!!! things I didn't expect started happpening and well, there really isn't much more to say than after that I couldn't put it down. Rose Hathaway seems to prove once again how strong a character she is, not just physically but emotionally as well. In the mean time, new powers are discovered, lust is unleashed(at last), new loves arrive, threats to destroy morois as well as dhampirs over at the school appear, and the promises of better and possible futures are just THIS CLOSE TO BELIEVE. With graduation just around the corner, tragedy strikes at St.Vladimir's and this time maybe not even Rose...

~ Slowly, he reached out and held a lock of my hair, twisting it around one finger thoughtfully. I froze...~ Well, hello there vampire book friend! Wow, this book wasn't what I expected at all. Richelle did manage to surprise me! This book starts out right with action, continues with action, and ends with action. I'm really sorry I didn't read it earlier. I loved how all the characters no matter who, played a really important role on the developement of the story. Wich just earned Richelle some really good extra points. On with my rambling thoughts... Apart from the awesomeness of Rose, we have, of course, all the...let's say cool names; from Moroi to Dhampir and so on... Rose, I loved. She's such an amazing and fresh character. I've never read of a girl such as her, NEVER. Maybe guys protecting the girl of their dreams. But Rose is so different and had me immediately immersed on the story. Completely exceeded my expectations of her. Lissa! I cou...
