Lament by Maggie Stiefvater
Title:- Lament
Author:- Maggie Stiefvater
Twitter | Facebook
Publisher:- Scholastic
Date Published:- January 3rd 2011
Goodreads Synopsis:-Sixteen-year-old Deirdre Monaghan is a painfully shy but prodigiously gifted musician. She's about to find out she's also a cloverhand—one who can see faeries. Deirdre finds herself infatuated with a mysterious boy who enters her ordinary suburban life, seemingly out of thin air. Trouble is, the enigmatic and gorgeous Luke turns out to be a gallowglass—a soulless faerie assassin. An equally hunky—and equally dangerous—dark faerie soldier named Aodhan is also stalking Deirdre. Sworn enemies, Luke and Aodhan each have a deadly assignment from the Faerie Queen. Namely, kill Deirdre before her music captures the attention of the Fae and threatens the Queen's sovereignty. Caught in the crossfire with Deirdre is James, her wisecracking but loyal best friend. Deirdre had been wishing her life weren't so dull, but getting trapped in the middle of a centuries-old faerie war isn't exactly what she had in mind...
Review:-
Lament is a story of forbidden love. Dee is a very shy but musically talented teen, at the preparation of one of her performances she meets a strange and secretive young man, Luke Dillon. They perform a duet together and that's when Luke entered Dee's typical suburban life...that's when things changed and when all things as Dee knew it ended.

Forgotten by Cat Patrick
Title:- Forgotten
Publisher:- Hardie Grant Egmont
Date Published:- June 1, 2011
Goodreads Synopsis:-
I remember forwards. I remember forwards, and forget backwards. My memories, bad, boring, or good haven't happened yet. So I will remember standing in the fresh-cut grass with the black-clad figures surrounded by stone until I do it for real. I will remember the funeral until it happens - until someone dies. And after that, it will be forgotten. Here's the thing about me: I can see my future, but my past is blank. I see the future in flashes, like memories. I remember what I'll wear tomorrow, and a car crash that won't happen till this afternoon. But yesterday has evaporated from my mind - just like the boy I love. I can't see him in my future. I can't remember him from my past. But today, I love him. And I never want to forget how much.
Review:-
London Lane's memory resets every 4.33am. To be able to live 'normally' she writes herself a note daily before bed and reads it in the morning before she starts her day. Everything is written on her notes including the mundane and the boring, but I suppose if you can't recall the day before, such notes would be vital.

To-be-read's:- How big is your pile? Which books keep getting pushed down the stack, but you keep meaning to read it?
A room full...no joke.
I've currently got a lot of books from the library, many are part of a series' so I keep waiting for consecutive books before reading the first book to the series, so a lot keep getting put back at the bottom of the pile as I'm still awaiting for the next book/s.
However, just a few that have been put at the end of the pile because of library books are Wolfsbane by Andrea Cremer and Uncommon Criminals by Ally Carter. I've read book 1 for both of these series but because they were bought I'm not in a major rush to get through them like I am with my library books.
If you could pick one character from a book, movie or television show to swap places with, who would it be?
From Television Shows:-
Adrianne Maloof from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
She's filthy rich but still very down-to-earth.
The Kardashians
I'd love the opportunities that they have. Due to their Father's legacy they have so many open business opportunities that many of us normal folks don't have LOL.
Evie from Paranormalcy by Kiersten White - I LOVE her job!
Bella from Twilight by Stephanie Meyer - Who doesn't want a rich, handsome, forever young man? Unlike others I actually find the whole Edward Cullen character swoon worthy and I'd love my Husband to be more like Edward Cullen minus the sucking of blood.
This week's Featured Blogs are:-

What book that hasn't been turned into a movie (yet) would you most like to see make it to the big screen, and who would you like cast as your favourite character?
Going with the premise that the movie won't wreck the book, I'd like to see a lot of great books turned into a movie. I'll list a few of my faves:-
