Good-bye True Blood Season 5 & The Walking Dead Season 3...


Its time to say Good-bye to True Blood again... I actually don't know what I will do with my life now because it literally consisted of Stay up till 10 to watch True Blood, then the next day watch it again with my mum (which is always awkward, some scenes shouldn't be witnessed with your mum around). Now its finishing and never coming back... until the summer of next year. Bill's gone Psycho, Eric's gone good cop, Sookie still cries like a bitch, Lafayette is just amazing as always and Alcide shouldn't even own a shirt.

Not only is True Blood finishing but on Friday I will also be saying Good-bye to The Walking Dead. 
 
Yes you heard me The Walking Dead is also taking a break and as the series comes to an end I pray that Michonne will return for season 4, I mean come on this chick carries a lead with two walkers like their dogs, like their pets... you can't get anymore awesome then that and Carl has turned into a right Bad ass.

Oh how can I forget how Daryl has gone from hot to HOT!. Well I guess Season 2 of Grimm, American Horror Story: Asylum and Vampire Diaries season 4 will have to quench my thirst for destruction and chaos..

I must say Bloody Face is looking rather hot..
That was a joke.. Chow!

Books; The Forest of Hands & Teeth


So I was having a dream last night that I was living in a secluded town surrounded by fences & gates, Zombies were coming in from every corner and all I could think about was the fact I was down to my last piece of Toilet roll and last nights Chinese wasn't about to hold back... and then I was awake. Maybe I had that dream because I've been watching The Walking Dead but I'm sure we all know my crazy dream was devised from The Forest Of Hands & Teeth.


The story follows Mary; an inquisitive young adult who has more faith in the stories her mother told her as a child than the God the Sisterhood use against those who appose their authority but nothing is easy in Mary's life not when the Unconsecrated (Zombies to you & I) are on the other side of the fence, not when a breach causes chaos and destruction, not when her own desires tangle with the safety of everyone she loves. It's not long before Mary finds herself, her brother Jed, Brothers Harry & Travis, Cass, Little Jacob and Argos the dog trying to survive the breach that had caused their world to collapse around them.

Honestly I really like this book a lot but I wouldn't say this book is a favourite of mine because of the way Carrie Ryan writes, don't get me wrong the book is good but Carrie's writing style is so different to Laini Taylor and Becca Fitzpatrick that it will take a lot of getting used to. Also for the sheer fact that I tend to read books that evolve around the supernatural mainly Shape shifters, Fairies, Vampires, Fallen Angels and other fucked up things. 

This was the first time I've read a Zombie based novel and I'm happy that I have because it was worth it in a way, It may not be a favourite of mine but it is always good to try something new and on the 807 bus this morning I had a few tears stream down my cheeks (because shit just got so real near the end of the book, it made me cry)

Like Enclave, The Forest Of Hands & Teeth helps create the idea that the authority may in fact be corrupt and it takes one person to break the system and figure out that there is more to what they've been brought up to see. 

My Liberian has told me that this might become a film and being a fan of Zombie films I'll definitely go and see it... hopefully the film gives the book a little more justice.

I'm going to try get my hands on The Dead - Tossed Waves but right now I have The Night Circus which is also out of my comfort zone but what can I say My Liberian loves it and has given it good reviews... I think my day is sorted. Chow!
