Another trilogy read and gone !

I just finished "The Mortal Instruments" book trilogy. Let me just say, WHY! WHY MUST IT END ! I'll admit, I've started reading them after I found out about the movie and then, became interested. I have always seen these books around the bookstore and library. My friends have raved about it when it first came it. But I never bought in to it. And I'm now cursing myself for not reading it soon! I wish I could say I was a TMI fan before the movie. Either way, I put all three books on hold at the library and waited. Within waiting, I grew impatient and listened to the audiobooks as well. In the span of a month I finished all three books. A book a day once I got my hands on it. I was thrown into the world of shadow hunters and demons. I rooted on Jace and Clarys tragic yet enduring romance. I cursed valentine for his evil ways. I end wish Simon was real so he could be my best friend. One thing I loved about the series was that it was action packed! It wasn't a romance novel with action. It was a action novel with romance. And not always the kind of heart-wrenching, adorable romance either. It was kind of bitter and unspoken of. What was my favourite part of TMI ? Two words. Jace Wayland. What a godly character he was. I fell for him almost as instantly as Cllary Fray, the main character did. A gorgeous warrior whose a little bit wounded, a little bit misguided but full of heart. Every scene he was in was my favourite. I loved his rude, sarcastic ways. What can I say? I love the totured boys. After finishing City of Bones, I treated my best friend And myself to go see the movie! It is, VERY different from the book. But I really liked the way they have set up the series for sequels. The movie was made with the book foundation but easily acceptable for fans who haven't read the books but are now interested in. This series has just become my new obsession ! I would highly recommend the movie and books to anyone who needs a new obsession. Or even a new past time.
 What are your thoughts about The Mortal Instruments ?

Bubbles, Bubbles and Books


Everyone knows that I have recently become addicted to taking steaming hot baths. Just as I have become addicted to The Mortal Instruments series. At late hours of the night, this is how I find myself unwinding and relaxing. I recently just bought Soap&Glory's "Calm One, Calm All" bubble bath. Which is superb! Ill have a review up along with many other products be picked up from Sephora in the states. I start my new job today and work until next week continually so, posts will be very limited for awhile. I have a couple drafts saved up, so those may come out! I recommend everyone checks out these books before the movie ! And maybe take a nice, long, hot bath while doing it !
Cheers to the week!

Top of the morning to ya

My easy going morning before I head off to work to do the closing shift. Thank god my mall is only open till 6:30pm unlike, metrotown which is open basically 24/7. I could not work till 10pm on a Saturday. This book is the second one I picked up in February from Urban Outfitters. I know I'm a bit behind and said I'd do a review on this and " Style Feed " which I am, I swear ! I just want to do them at the same one because they are both for my February books. I think maybe ill have it done by the middle of March. Im reading at the same speed of my English class to keep up with the project but its moving a bit slow ! I am also still doing the monthly book reads from Urban Outfiiters, so if you have any suggestion please let me , I'd love to hear :)
