Escaping The Reality

When people ask me why I like reading they freak out when I suggest it's to escape. For me books are a way of shutting away the world and my responsibilities just for that short amount of time; it keeps me sane and lets me be someone who doesn't have things to do. I don't have the best, peaceful life that I want because let's be real that's not reality. Life is full of ups and downs so I thought what's better than reality? A world where us readers can go to get away from the dreadful happenings.

Top 3 series I recommend to you guys as readers to escape:

1. The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare - for me I was reading this to have a relationship with a family that didn't necessarily connect. In all the books you do realise that they have their own problems but you don't feel the same as you would. The writing takes you away with demons, vampires and many other mythical creatures not to mention amazing lead characters.

2. A Song Of Ice And Fire by George R.R. Martin - I know I haven't read all the books in this series but the amount of context you get in these just automatically makes you forget what's going on. Your taken on a journey with many perspectives and your kind of routing for one character to the next.

3. Ruby Red by Kerstin Gier - This whole trilogy is about time travel and it takes you from one period of time to another. It has lots of romance which can carry you away if your having your own relationship problems. Also the writing is super easy to get through so before you know it all the adventures will be over in a good way.

There are so many books I wanted to add onto this list but it would go on forever and I don't want that. If you have any recommendations then please leave them below! I need more novels to escape in before my little man comes because I don't want to miss a moment with my new little family.

My top 4 most anticipated releases of 2017!

So this morning I got up to plan out my video which you will be able to check out at +Air, Fire, Water and the Stones and it's all about my top 5 most anticipated movie releases. Then a huge lightbulb went off, why am I not doing a book version of this? And here we are. I hope you all had a brilliant New Year I can't believe how fast it's going already. Just a side note, non of these are in order I am equally excited for every single one.

Let's do this:

1. A Court of Wings and Ruin (A Court of Thorns and Roses #3) by Sarah J Maas - I have yet to read the second book but that doesn't mean I am not excited for this. I can't wait to finish my two current reads and hopefully jump onto the second book in this series/ triology. The book is scheduled to be released May 2nd.
2. Lord of Shadows (The Dark Artifices #2) by Cassandra Clare - The first book Lady Midnight was absolutely incredible, hands down my favourite Cassandra Clare book. This is meant to be a whopping 704 pages long and the sooner it's in my hands the better. This is another release in the month of May. We even have a cover reveal! Expected publication: May 23rd.
3. A Conjuring of Light (Shades of Magic #3) by V.E.Schwab - I have just started the first book and let me tell you there is no way I am not carrying on with the trilogy. It didn't have me hooked from the start but now I'm into it I am definetly enjoying it more. This book is hopefully being released early in the year Expected publication: February 21st.
4. The Dark Prophecy (The Trials of Apollo #2) by Rick Riordan - I was so really lucky last year to get a copy of this from Netgalley, I did end up buying the physical copy as well because I just loved it so much! I can't wait for this to be released. We do have to wait till May 2nd.

I hope you enjoyed my second blogpost of the year, I thoroughly enjoyed getting all my favourites together. All I have to do now is wait for them all to be released and I have nothing to read. Dave looks at me giving me the eyes because we all know full well that I have a HUGE to be read shelf in my room.
