Books really do allow you to live thousands of lives. There really is no greater joy then getting caught up in between the pages of a book.

Nothing better than wine and books <3

NaNoWriMo 2013 Participation

Okay so...I am in the middle of my last year of my masters and I decide to do this....NaNoWriMo aka National Novel Writing Month. I have decided to give it a shot and write 50K words in one month. This will be my first shot at a book. It is pure ambition and a love for words and a need to write whats in my heart and to want to share it with the world. I will be tracking my progress at www.nanowrimo.org. I will also try to participate in some of the local write ins. Here is a brief overlook of what I am writing....

Synopsis:
Song for Marie is a story about three generations of women. The story opens with a young woman at odds with her emotions towards her mother, who left her at the five months and never explained her absence. The story also has several over strong female voices. A grandmother seeking absolution for not raising her own children. A young mother trying to come to terms with her mothers secrets and a sibling at odds with them all because she feels unloved and unwelcomed among a family that she thinks are strangers. She seeks comfort in religion and her own family. The common tie between these women...a name...Marie. To each the name defines them differently. One is strong, One bitter, One lost, and another abandoned.

This will most likely always be my problem I do not really care for shoes lol

Clockwork Angel: The Infernal Devices Book One by Cassandra Clare

Here is the first book of the Prequel series to Mortal Instruments. I honestly will say that I was expected something very different. A lot more background about how the Angel appears etc. But that was not the case with this book. Instead we meet Tessa Gray on her way to London to live with her brother Nate after the unexpected death of their Aunt in New York. Tessa is greeted by the Dark Sisters; who are members of the Pandemonium Club. This club is not an innocent social club but instead a group of downworlders and mundanes that cast spells and gamble and party. The club is dangerous and Nate has somehow gotten himself mixed up in it all. All hell breaks lose once the Shadowhunters get involved. The book is not without its mix of action. There of course is a love triangle blossoming. And it will perhaps end a friendship and one of my beloved characters will be left feeling very discarded. I can only hope that this will not be the case. I did really enjoy the book - however I wanted a lot more history. Perhaps that is something that the other books will previde.
