The Romance Bookie

 Hey! So I'm going through a little bit of a reading slump to start off my July, but instead of putting the pressure on me to read something specific, I decided to finally read something I've been wanting to read for a long time! The Mortal Instruments Graphic Novels!  I understand why Graphic novels are pricier, they take a lot of work to make, and a lot of someone's valuable time!  But that doesn't make it easier to shell out $15 for a book that will take me less than 45 minutes to read.   But I finally did it!  I bought all four that are available so far for my birthday!   I turned 30 on the second.   THIRTY. I still can't believe I'm 30.  That is so unbelievably crazy to me.  I started The Romance Bookie when I was 19.  Practically a baby.  And now I'm a full fledged married-with-a-child-and-mortgage adult.  Crazy! Anyway on to my review! From Goodreads: The Mortal Instruments Graphic Novel #1 The first installment of ...

For us readers, finishing a book can not only be an experience of happiness, happy endings, and love, but also an experience of heartbreak, love lost, and the agony of waiting...just in case if that author changes his/her mind and decides to write another book.  But just because you are broken as a reader when you finish that book, that doesn't mean you didn't love it!! No. It might mean that you are sad, because you have had to say goodbye to some of your favorite characters.  I know my fellow Harry Potter , fans can relate.  I mean come on, if you were like me, and grew up from the fourth grade all the way to the 10th grade, like me, with those characters, you know exactly what I'm talking about! At the end of May, Cassandra Clare released the last book in her Mortal Instrument Series...a series I first fell in love with in the early summer of 2011, when I first read  City of Bones . The Mortal Instruments , has been one of my favorite series of all time since ...

OMG!!! Here it is!! The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones movie trailer!!! It's 2 and a half minutes long!! OMG It looks AWESOME!!! SO excited!! August 23th!!! :) The Romance Bookie :)

***WARNING!! May contain Spoilers from previous books in series!!!*** So I finally read it!!! City of Lost Souls, that is! :) I've been trying to hold this off, because I just couldn't stand having to wait months for Clockwork Princess , which I know is in the Infernal Devices series, but none the less, I know I will have Cassie Clare withdrawals for the next few months!!! While Meg Cabot is my contemporary drug, Cassie is my paranormal addiction! However, to continue my Mortal Instrument addiction I now have to wait until March of 2014!!!!! Yes that is a FOUR not a three!! I am going to die!!!! At least in between that time we have Clockwork Princess and the City of Bones movie!!!!! Anyway time for my review: Description from Goodreads : What price is too high to pay, even for love? When Jace and Clary meet again, Clary is horrified to discover that the demon Lilith’s magic has bound her beloved Jace together with her evil brother Sebastian, and that...

OMG everyone!! It's here!! Look at how gorgeous it is!! WOW!!! And plus, look at what I saw someone post (I'm SO Sorry I honestly can't think of who, I think it may have been Mandy @ I Read Indy Books ) on Facebook.  But anyway look at this!!! Let me just say!! IT'S OFFICIAL!! THE MOVIE IS FINALLY BEING MADE!!!!!!! WHOO_HOO!!! HAPPY DANCE!!!   I also wanted to say A HUGE thank you to all my readers!! It's taken almost two years, but The Romance Bookie has seriously started growing! There's nothing that makes me happier than seeing I have a new possible reader! The Romance Bookie is my baby, and I put a lot into her, so I'm glad at least a few of you take the time to read some of the things I have to say! Thank you!! The Romance Bookie :)

Oh dang! I almost forgot about my Still on My Mind post today!! So for this week I'm going to do... Cassandra Clare's Mortal Instrument Series! Because it's a series, and because I loved each one of them SOOOOO much, it is MUCH too difficult to just choose one! So instead, I am doing all of them! Okay, except for the newest one City of Lost Souls because I haven't had the chance to read that one quite yet. But here's the description from Goodreads : The Shadowhunters—touched by angels and charged with protecting innocents—battle demons and other evil in the bestselling Mortal Instruments series. City of Bones When Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder. Much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with odd markings. This is Clary’s first meeting with the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons—and keeping the odd werewolves and vamp...
