I read as much as possible in my free time, it is one of my favorite things to do. There is nothing more relaxing to me than getting lost in a good book. Sometimes it is hard to find your next book to read, or where to even begin in finding one. Well look no further! I have put together a list of books that I have enjoyed reading over and over again. I have tried to include as much information as I can about each one to make it easier to find. However, if you have any trouble message me, I love helping people find new adventures!

This is the tale of Gorgon Elfhunter, a monstrous, mysterious creature who has sworn to destroy all the Elves of Alterra—until none remain. It is the story of Wood-elven heroine Gaelen Taldin, who has sworn to rid her world of the Elfhunter even as she is hunted by him. The conflict between them creates a tangled web that blurs the line between Light and Darkness, love and obsession, free will and fate. Filled with moments both tender and terrifying, thrilling yet thought-provoking, it is a timeless epic fantasy suitable for readers of all ages. Join the Company of Elves, dwarves, mortal men, and delightfully intelligent horses

Book List Order:

  • Elfhunter
  • Iron Promises (optional branch off story)
  • Fire-Heart
  • Ravenshade
  • Fallen Embers & The Fire King (optional history stories)
  • The Shadow-Man (optional branch off story)

This next author and set of books is a very long one, only choose this one if you feel like being hooked on a story for a while! It is very worth it though. Tamora Pierce has many more books then the ones listed as well.

The Song of the Lioness: Although noble-born girls traditionally go to the convent to learn how to be proper noblewomen and wives, Alanna desires to become a knight, a position only given to noble-born boys. In order to achieve her dream, Alanna disguises herself as a boy under the name of Alan and goes to the palace in place of her twin brother Thom. As Thom has no interest in becoming a knight, and is far more interested in his magic, Thom forges a letter so that he can go to a temple to become an enormously strong and skilled sorcerer.

The Noble Dead Saga: At the start of the story, the two "half-breeds", together with Chap, make a reasonable living pretending to be 'vampire-hunters'. Eventually the inevitable happens; they cross paths with genuine vampires, one form of the Noble Dead or highest form[s] of the undead. These charlatans are plunged unwillingly into a dark reality of true undead and into their own dark fates as well as other personal secrets they kept hidden (even from each other). Much as they want nothing to do with this, and only to settle down somewhere quiet, they are soon driven from their home on a quest to learn the truth of their pasts and why they've been drawn together. The answers are bigger than any of them wish to acknowledge, aside from a wandering nobleman named Welstiel Massing who shadows their movements and is always too eager to goad Magiere out of hiding and force her onward.

Book List Order:

Phase 1:

  • Dhampir
  • Thief of Lives
  • Sister of the Dead
  • Traitor to the Blood
  • Rebel Fay
  • Child of a Dead God

Phase 2:

  • In Shade and Shadow
  • Through Stone and Sea
  • Of Truth and Beasts

Phase 3:

  • Between Their Worlds
  • The Dog in the Dark
  • A Wind in the Night

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
