Beautiful Darkness (Caster Chronicles, #2)Beautiful Darkness by Kami Garcia

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Like these books. Liked the new characters that came in but can I say that the heroine bugs the CRAP out of me! She is ULTRA dramatic. Luckily she was not in this one a ton. Maybe that is why I liked it a titch better than the first. Something about these books rambles a bit but I don't know what I would take out. All that being said I still want to read the enovella that is coming out on August 2nd and the sequel, Beautiful Chaos, coming out October 18th.

Music Mojo

This is a meme started and hosted by the lovely ladies at Reading Lark. Ever heard a song and thought, "that reminds me so much of this part in this book"? I have and do all the time. So many authors are puting playlists together for the books they write. I am a HUGE fan of this and have several that I have made of music that reminds me of certain books. I have found such amazing music this way so I thought I would share a snippet each week. Either a playlist or a song that is associated with a book.

Since I am pimping the Iron Fey Series:










Julie Kagawa for the blog tour to celebrate the release of "The Iron Queen" put together not 1 but 2 playlists. One for the Summer Court :









Get a playlist! Standalone player Get Ringtones

And One for the Winter Court:






Get a playlist! Standalone player Get Ringtones

Both are quite excellent and VERY fitting! Julie is SOO COOL! I have them here for your listening pleasure! So pump it up!
