Review of The Forever Song by Julie Kagawa
Julie never ceases to surprise, so I thought I was ready for the unexpected; boy was I wrong! The Forever Song was an epic conclusion to an amazing trilogy, but I wasn't satisfied. The ending left me wanting even more, so here is to hoping that a spin off is in its future (Maybe with Jackal? One can hope!)

I have to admit, I loved the beginning of the book. Allison's lack of humanity showed the depth of her character and ironically showed her ability to love and care. The things she did without her humanity just showed that Julie isn't for glossing around and making vampires human loving creatures, rather, it showed that vampires are bloodsucking creatures above all, which I loved. There was some amazing character development for Jackal as well as other central characters, and as usual he provided the much needed comic relief to the gory and violent scenes. I fell in love with almost all of the characters (especially Jackal & Kanin); they were all so well developed and three dimensional and so real.

When I was around 75% of the way done, I thought it became ratherpredictable…after all; the good guys always come out triumphant and alive right? Guess who was wrong again? Me. Julie Kagawa is never predictable and will always knock you off your feet. She has a one of a kind writing style and has set the bar up there ever since her debut novel. After finishing the novel, I felt so drained and emotional; I still feel very unsatisfied and I feel like there is so much potential for more. (Kind of the feeling we all got from The Iron Queen!)

Overall, this will not disappoint and I will most definitely be recommending this extraordinary series to my friends and family!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
