Blue Lily, Lily, Blue by Maggie Stiefvater

17378508

This is not usually the kind of series I would read but YA has kind of grown on me. My wife is a big fan of Maggie Stiefvater's and we saw her at a book signing a year or two ago. For me, meeting an author can really make or break a book. If the author is flat and lifeless I might not continue to read their books or not even try their work. Maggie was a lot of fun to meet in person and I became interested in reading her work.

I have enjoyed the Raven Cycle series but this book wasn't my favorite. I have very mixed feelings on this book which has caused me to struggle a bit about a review. I guess I will start with what I didn't really care for in this book. I felt like I was missing something through most of this book. I wasn't at all but I guess it seemed like there was a lot going on when there wasn't. Also, these little events would happen without any build, reason, or explanation which was  frustrating. I ended up with more questions than answers which might have been intentional for the next book but I was just irritated. I also couldn't stand the character Adam. It was all a poor me bitch fest.

What I did enjoy about this book was getting to know Blue better. There is a lot to her story that still needs to be told. She is a very interesting character and this book gives just a little more to why she is the way way she is. Cryptic yes but I don't want to ruin anything in the book. This was an entertaining book and I did enjoy it even with my little frustrations.

Out of the three books this is my least favorite. I give this book 3 out of 5 stars because I'm kind of in the middle on this book. I am looking forward to the next book because I really want to see what comes next.

Feature Follow is the day of the week that we get to know each other and make some new friends. This is graciously put on by our hosts Parajunkee and Alison Can Read . Each week there is one blog featured by each host and a question to help us break the ice and open discussion. Since I am new to blogging I don't currently have a preference as to how you follow me. Feel free to follow through bloglovin, email, or GFC. I'm not picky just happy to have the company.   This weeks question is:   What were some of your favorite picture books as a kid? If you have kids, what are your favorites to read to them?  When I was a kid I really liked the Curious George books, but my favorite were the Berenstain Bears books. I loved these, and every time we would go to the book store I had to get a new one. My favorites of this series were:     My Wife and I read The Berenstain Bears' New Baby to my son when his sister was on the way this year. He is 3 a

Welcome to Horrorwood: The Silver Scream 2

Ice Nine Kills Welcome to the bar, pull up a stool and get ready to rock out!!! Since this is my favorite month out of the year, I’m hitting the reviews hard with everything spooky. I will get to the rest of the blog, sports, whiskey, and other books and movie reviews eventually.  This album came out October 15th and I have been waiting for this release a long time. Here is the great thing about Ice Nine Kills. Not only are they a kick ass metal band, but they have taken the horror genre to a whole new level. Their music is clever and the perfect complement to the classic horror movies fans love. I fell in metal love with these guys with their last album the Silver Scream. Ice Nine Kills writes songs based on the plots of horror movies. As Spencer says in “Hip to Be Scared” When the Silver Scream came out I think they really came into their own commercially and artistically.” No one could have said it better than the lead singer.  Some of my favorite songs before this album where Ameri

I have to admit that I was so lost as to what type of picture I should take. Yes, I know it was supposed to be funny but I was still at a loss. I asked my wife what I should do and she asked me if I still knew how to tie a noose. Don't judge me I was a weird teen. Anyway she said I should hang my favorite book in homage to Halloween. I decided to take this a step further.
