The Golden Lily by Richelle MeadMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book doesn't contain so much of the drama that bloodlines did. It explores more of the romantic side of the characters. Although it wouldn't be a Richelle Mead book if there wasn't a life threatening situation or two...
Lastly I kinda love how awkward and socially inept Sydney is. Like when she is kissing someone she is thinking she should go read a book on how to kiss someone. Lmao

Through The Painting... A journey.
In early 2007 through the now disappeared Nick Black message board i met an amazingly talented person... (actually i met a few amazing talented people) but this particular person was Stephanie Graber an author, graphic artist and complete sci-fi NERD!!!!!
so we soon became good friends and i started proof reading her books starting with Blood Tie then Assassin's Blood then New Blood and some unfinished works... but amoung them was a little title then called 'Ausverden' I loved the book from the first time she sent me what she had written and was sad that it got left behind in late 2008, early in to its creation, around the time Steph went to LA for the Twilight premiere.
then last year Steph started writing more of 'Ausverden' (i may have been a pain in the arse about it... occasionally...lol) and near the end Steph asked for people to edit it, i myself and a few others put up our hand up (even though im grammarly challenged I'm good at picking up mistakes that spellcheck doesn't).
the 'Ausverden' became 'Through The Painting'
Which was finally released Last week on LuLu.com
Blurb: Zoe and Dean have been best friends since they could talk. Dean grew up as a normal teenage boy would with girl problems, pimples, and parental rebelliousness. Zoe, however, did not. She grew up with the developing powers of reading thoughts, moving things without touching them, shape-shifting, and controlling fire, though she’s working on the “controlling” part. Although her powers have seemed to prove nothing more than a maturing problem her entire life, Zoe soon discovers that all gifts have a purpose and hers will take the pair of them to a world they could only imagine to face foes they never thought could exist. To accomplish her goal, Zoe must learn to control her abilities in order to fight to rescue a falling world and accept who she was born to become. Dean’s still working on the pimples…

These Four Walls & Bellusira
I have been a fan of New Zealand band 'These Four Walls' since 2007 and have finally seen them live, i wish the set had been longer but found it to be complete awesomeness and i hope they come back to Sydney soon.

Ghost Town
Ghost Town by Rachel CaineMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Rachel Caine just keeps out doing herself with each new book in this series. oh and I love the fact that Shane has a lot more face time in this book too.
With Ada out of commission, Claire and Myrnin have to find a way to bring the towns defence back up, and Claire is forced to work fast... but when things are rushed, things tend to go wrong. Soon Morganville starts losing memory of the last few years of their lives and the vampires start biting...
