"And I'll tell her that I don't want my life to be samples and scraps. A taste of everything but a meal of nothing. They have perfected the art of giving us just enough freedom: just enough that when we are ready to snap, a little bone is offered and we roll over, belly up, comfortable and placated like a dog I saw once when we visited my grandparents in the Farmlands."

"Waiting On" Wednesday- (12)

"Waiting On" Wednesday is hosted by Breaking the Spine. The purpose of this event is to get bloggers to spotlight and share the books they are anticipating on coming out.

On my wishlist this Wednesday is: City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare

Description:  City of Fallen Angels is the fourth book in the bestselling series The Mortal Instruments.

“City of Fallen Angels takes place two months after the events of City of Glass. In it, a mysterious someone’s killing the Shadowhunters who used to be in Valentine’s Circle and displaying their bodies around New York City in a manner designed to provoke hostility between Downworlders and Shadowhunters, leaving tensions running high in the city and disrupting Clary’s plan to lead as normal a life as she can — training to be a Shadowhunter, and pursuing her relationship with Jace. As Jace and Clary delve into the issue of the murdered Shadowhunters, they discover a mystery that has deeply personal consequences for them — consequences that may strengthen their relationship, or rip it apart forever. Meanwhile, internecine warfare among vampires is tearing the Downworld community apart, and only Simon — the Daylighter who everyone wants on their side — can decide the outcome; too bad he wants nothing to do with Downworld politics. Love, blood, betrayal and revenge: the stakes are higher than ever in City of Fallen Angels.”

Release Date: April 5, 2011

"Clary wondered if there were any ugly vampires, or maybe any fat ones. Maybe they didn't make vampires out of ugly people. Or maybe ugly people just didn't want to live forever.

Rose Hathaway is a Dhampir, a bodyguard for her best friend Lissa, a Moroi Vampire Princess. They've been on the run, but now they're being dragged back to St. Vladimir's—the very place where they're most in danger...Rose and Lissa become enmeshed in forbidden romance, the Academy's ruthless social scene, and unspeakable nighttime rituals.

"Waiting On" Wednesday- (11)

"Waiting On" Wednesday is hosted by Breaking the Spine. The purpose of this event is to get bloggers to spotlight and share the books they are anticipating on coming out.

On my wishlist this Wednesday is: Starstruck by Cyn Balog

Description: When Gwendolyn “Dough” Reilly’s boyfriend and best friend Wish moves away in seventh grade, the only consolation she can find is in her family bakery’s donuts. Now, it’s sophomore year, and Wish is coming back. But in only three years, they’ve both changed—drastically. She’s seriously overweight, and suddenly Wish is the most popular guy in school, and girls everywhere want him. Dough has doubts that appearances don’t matter and that Wish can love her as she is, so she launches into a plan designed to keep them together. That is, until she discovers that Wish’s gorgeous looks and charm might not be all they appear to be.

Release Date: July 12, 2011

Here is my teaser for this week:

"You said you were a victim. That's why...that's why ultimately, you and I aren't matched for each other. In spite of everything that's happened, I've never thought of myself that way. Being a victim means you're powerless. That you won't take action. Always...always I've done something to fight for myself...for others. No matter what."

Book Trailer:
There is currently not a book trailer available.

Memorable Quotes:

"What the hell? I asked. Is this daring escape being sponsored by Honda?"

"Rose, I'm an addict with no work ethic who is likely going to go insane. I'm not like you. I'm not a super-hero."

"Sex had been amazing, but it wasn't a magical cure for everything. Damn. Somewhere along the way, I'd picked up common sense."

"A gun. I had been brought down by a gun. It was pratically comical. Cheaters, I thought."

My Musings: OMG, OMG, OMG!!!!! When I finished the last sentence in this amazing series, I felt a huge, dark void. I can't believe its over. We finally have a resolution to all of Rose Hathaway's problems. The only bright glimmer is that there is a VA spin-off coming in the near future. The downfall is it will no longer be from Rose's point of view. But never fear because we get a well deserved ending to the woes of Rose. I usually try to keep my reviews spoiler free, but for this one I am not going to hold back. So if you have not read this book, and you don't want to know what happens then please stop reading this now and go with the comfort that this book was an awesome read.

***********SPOILER ALERT*************SPOILER ALERT***********

***********SPOILER ALERT*************SPOILER ALERT***********

If you have read my past reviews for this series, then it should be no secret that I am a huge Dimitri-Rose fan. Team Dimitri all the way (*squeal). I'm just glad that Rose and Dimitri finally had their happily ever after. With all the crap the two of them went through, it is about damn time they realize that they need each other. Dimitri stopped being stubborn and Rose came to her senses that she is not meant for Adrian.

Though I love Adrian as a character, I really didn't find him compatible with Rose. I definitely wanted to cry when he finally confronts Rose at the end of the book about her cheating on him. My heart just went out to him.
