Tower of Dawn

I finished Tower of Dawn by Sarah J. Maas today. This is book six in the Throne of Glass series. It had been a year since I had read Empire of Storms which is book five, so it took me a little bit to get acclimated with the characters again. This is however, Sarah J. Maas, so it did not take long for me to be totally addicted to the story.

Tower of Dawn is unique in that the only two characters that we know in this book are Chaol and Nesryn. This story picks up where Empire of Storms ends or just a few months later at least. Chaol had been injured in the previous book and is now confined to a wheelchair. Nesryn and Chaol travel to Antica to not only to gain support in the war but also to find someone to heal Chaol's legs.

This book was maybe not as action packed as the previous couple in the series but I do believe that it was necessary to move things along. We learn much more about both Chaol and Nesryn and both of the characters are able to find themselves in the process of this story. We also learn more about the history of the Valg and just who is behind all of the evil.

This was another great book by Sarah J. Maas! I highly recommend this series but if you are just getting started, go back to the first book, Throne of Glass. So many changes have happened since the beginning and trust me, you won't want to miss any of them!

Driftwood Bay

Driftwood Bay by Irene Hannon is a sweet and inspirational story. This is part of the Hope Harbor series but is the first one that I have read. I feel that this makes a good stand alone book but found myself becoming curious about the side characters in the story and would love to read the others in the series. Jeannette has created a new life for herself in the town of Hope Harbor. She owns a lavender farm and tea shop and spends most of her time alone. Her quiet world is shaken up when Logan moves in next door. Not only does he have a little girl, but also a trouble making dog that force their worlds to collide. Alongside the story of Jeannette and Logan is a beautiful and heartbreaking story of a family that has escaped persecution in Syria. Everyone in the story has their own heartbreak, but they all come together to create a new life and new relationships. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more books from Irene Hannon.

Zen Camera

Photography is one of my hobbies so I always jump at the chance to check out new books on the topic. Zen Camera: Creative Awakening With a Daily Practice in Photograph y by David Ulrich uses Zen principles to teach people how to take better photographs. It also teaches an important lesson in today's busy world which is to slow down and take in our surroundings.  Zen Camera is split into six different lessons. My favorite part of these lessons is that at the end of each one is a tip that can be applied or something that the reader should go out and try. I have been interested in photography for quite a while and have read many books on the topic but I felt that this book had a fresh approach to photography.  Zen Camera is good for anyone starting out and using the camera on their phone or for more advanced photographers that are looking for inspiration. The book is full of gorgeous images and practical advice.  I received this book from Blogging for Books for this ...

Review: Songs About a Girl

The book that I just finished, I had actually picked up a couple of months ago and struggled to get into. I however picked it up yesterday and couldn't put it down. The book is Songs about a Girl by Chris Russell . This story is about a girl named Charlie who has an interest in photography and is contacted by a member of a boy band to take pictures backstage of the band. Charlie is reluctant because she does not believe she is good enough and does not have the same obsession towards the band as that of her best friend. She does however give it a chance and finds herself enjoying the band and getting closer to the members. She also finds out that she might have a bit more of a connection with one of the members than either of them truly know. This is the first book in a trilogy and it of course ends on a bit of a cliffhanger. However, we do not have to suffer long because the next story, Songs About Us, comes out on July 13th according to Goodreads . And a twitter account was c...
