Very very very late happy halloween xD
Hello anyone!
It's been awhile!
Hope everyone had a great Halloween!
Myself we don't celebrate it in Denmark (boohoo).
So what did you guys do on Halloween?
I somehow celebrated by buying A LOT of kindle books! (Yay) I bought 15 in total.
Technically I only bought two which is "The Dead house & Six of crows" because from 1 to 13 they only costs 0,00$ on amazon :O!! ~ The best part - I had them on my to-read list for awhile now and to get them for free! That really made my day! So if there's a book which you think sounds awesome and something you want to read and have a kindle reader or iPad with an kindle app then there's no excuse to not get one of those book down below ;)!

Here's a sneak peek:
BFF Blog Tour Interview with Emma from Raining Shadow Rose!
Hi Emma! I want to introduce you to the book blogging world! So first of all, why don’t you tell us a few things about yourself?
Hi my name is Emma and I just turned 20! And I’m a happy person! :D
I live in Denmark btw..
So this summer I just graduated from high school! (Yay!).
I’m now taking a year off to figure out what I want to do with my life.
In my spare time I either sleep or play with my cat ;).
And of course I READ! Sometimes I bake cakes too.

2. Awesome! So Emma, when did you decide to start book blogging and why did you call your blog Raining Shadow Rose of Book? I love the name btw!
I did it on my last year of high school in December I believe. I always been fascinated with others bloggers out there especially one.
So I just decided to actually try it out for good myself. And one of the main reason (THE reason) was because I didn’t got along with my classmate back then. I had one tho but if she got sick it was pain in the a*** so instead of feeling bad and make myself alone/miserable I wanted to make myself busy! So yeah that is the reason and one of my very good friend (she’s actually one of my best friend) she helped me out on how this book blogger worked out. I’m really grateful to her so thank you!.
SO the name:
I had another one before this to be honest. It was just a replacement until I found my own.
Raining Shadowrose of books has a meaning behind.
1. I love rain! My very first book I read was on a raining day and the same day it got me into the world of books.
2. I like the word itself but I always been living like a shadow most of my life. I’m adopted and when you are a little kid - other kids foe example from my old class, they used to look at me weird because of my different skin colour so I learn to hide myself in class plus I’m a VERY shy person in real life too. But don’t worry it is not a bad thing tho because I like being with myself and the books. I like living in my own world and just think and be me ;).
3. I like to draw and my very first and I mean the really good ones was of a rose. I didn’t know I could draw like that and from that day on I been drawing whatever I think was pretty or wanted to try out drawing.
So yeah that’s why. Ohhh and because I love books!

NEW Twilight!!
OMG you guys!!!
In honor of the 10th anniversary October the 6th Stephenie Meyer published a whole new Twilight book! This time she's switched the genders :O - THAT IS GENIUS!
In the new titled "Life and death: Twilight Reimagined" Bella Swan is now a boy named Beau and Edward Cullen is now Edythe and Jacob is named Julie.
Stephenie Meyer on thedailybeast.com;“You know, Bella has always gotten a lot of censure for getting rescued on multiple occasions, and people have always complained about her being a typical damsel in distress,” said Twilight author Stephenie Meyer in her introduction to the new reissue. “She’s also been criticized for being too consumed with her love interest, as if that’s somehow just a girl thing. But I’ve always maintained that it would have made no difference if that human were male and the vampire female—it’s still the same story.”
Well Meyer I can't WAIT to get my hands on it and found out! I already ordered it on Amazon!
Love the cover XD!!

Sight
Title: Sight (The delta Girls #1)
Author: Juliet Madison
Genre: YA, Contemporary, Paranormal, Fantasy
Published: July 14th 2015
Page count: 218
Format: Kindle
Summary (Goodreads):
I spent my birthday fast asleep. In a coma to be exact.
When Savannah wakes up after two months in the hospital, she sees a whole lot more than expected, things that could put those close to her at risk.
The five Delcarta sisters have never believed in the paranormal, not like their woo-woo mother. Instead they believe in the power of sisterhood, of romance, and rebuilding their lives after their father's mysterious disappearance nine years earlier. Starting anew in the small town of Iris Harbor, they see potential in all.
But Savannah's awakening after having surgery on a life-threatening aneurysm brings a unique ability to the Delcarta sisters–together, each can predict the future with one of the five senses. And Savannah has the gift of sight.
A serial arsonist has been terrorizing the tight-knit community, and the Delcarta sisters have their suspicions on who could be to blame, including a boy who starts as an adversary to Savannah and then very quickly becomes her whole world. Investigating these crimes, trying to stop them before the next flame is sparked will call upon Savannah to use her newfound abilities with the help of her sisters, and will put each of their lives in danger.
This stunning new paranormal series blends the sweetest of romances with breathless suspense, and introduces five young women who share a haunted past, an extraordinary gift, and an uncertain future.
Book review:
I received this from NetGalley in an exchange for an honest review
Okay so to start off; I'm debating with myself if I should give this a 3.5 or 4 stars?
Sight by Juliet Madison is a quick and fast okay read.
This story is about 5 sisters. Twins and triplets Talia, Tamara, Serena, Sasha and the main character, Savannah. The book starts of in the hospital where Savannah is in coma. She wakes up with a bubble feeling and discovers she has the special ability of seeing things others can't. She's not alone, her 4 other sisters have also been given a special ability each. All five senses.
The storyline continues 3 months later at Iris Harbor with their single mother and missing father who disappeared 9 years ago.
The Delcarta sisters can experience events as if they were there like in the future and together these five sisters become their own private detective, but their very gifts give them vision of something bad that only the Delta Girls can prevent.
At the beach near their new home, Savannah gets a déjà vu when a vision she had at the hospital becomes real. For comfort, she tells her sisters about it. They look at each other and slowly the realization hit them. The sisters discover that each of them has experienced the same memory but through a different sense. While Savannah experiences it by sight her triplet sisters have felt it by sound and smell and the older twins have sensed it through taste and touch.
After that event the journey begins for them all.
One specific character I really enjoyed was Riley. He was mysterious, absolutely gorgeous! The chemistry between him and Savannah hit the first time they met like love at first sight. They didn't deny their feelings for one another which was a bit 'meh'.
It was the first book I read from Juliet Madison and she did a great job even though it was very predictable and it annoyed me a bit that the five sisters didn't actually think about the clues they got and remembered back to previous clues or even try to put the puzzle pieces together. But putting that aside, the author really did have an great idea and she balanced the story well. Even though I have mix feelings about this book I would definitely root for a sequel. I won't spoil you but there was something at the end maybe 80 pages before the end I really need an answer to and something I wanted to have read we didn't get to see which I am very curious about! ;D
So overall, a great job.
4/5 Stars <3!
Update!!:
There's coming a second one "Sound" in October 13th!! - OMG I SOOO EXCITED! :D.
