What I've Been Doing

So I know its been a while since I've posted a book review. I was reading Ink Exchange by Melissa Marr. I couldn't get into this book. I had to force myself just to pick it up and read it. I gave up on it. I was almost done with it. I learned that Melissa Marr's Wicked Lovely Series is not for me. Maybe from reading all the vampires novels I'm more in love with that. I do like romance novels as well. I own most of Nicholas Sparks' novels. Also I love to read about the past.

That's all for now. I will be posting a review for Burned by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast as soon as I finish it.

Happy Reading, Ashley

When I'm Not Reading (2)

When I'm Not Reading is a weekly meme hosted by The Unread Reader. Allows us bloggers to share what we're are doing when not consuming ourselves with our books.

This week I thought I'd share my songwriting ability. I've been writing songs since 2001. I've roughly have written over 500 songs since then. I only write the lyrics, sadly I don't know how to put it to actual music. For me writing these songs are my way of getting things off my chest or just speaking on subjects I wouldn't say to someone.

But here are a few songs I've written enjoy!!

Dear My Love

Dear My Love
I'm letting go
Of everything
I've felt for you

Going to find
Someone I can have
Not dream about you anymore
You'll never be mine

Dear My Love
I'm letting go
Of everything
I've felt for you

I realized
You're not the one
What I felt was admiration (not love)
I will shed a tear for all my time wasted on you

Dear My Love
I'm letting go
Of everything
I've felt for you

Even though you
Never knew of my love
Kept hidden in my eyes
Its time to let it die

Going to find
Someone I can have
Not dream of you anymore
You'll never be mine

I'll just say this
She best hold on tight to you
Cause you deserve the best
No heartache

I will shed a tear
For all my time wasted on you
Dear My Love
I'm letting go of you and me!

Death In Front Of My Eyes

Here it is again
Death in front of my eyes
But this time
My heart isn't aching

Why is that?
After all you're apart of me
Yet  Ican't seem to cry
Feel so guilty for this

But years have gone by
Since the last time I saw you
So am I to grieve your loss?
Somebody come help me out

Here it is again
Death in front of my eyes
Yet this time
My heart isn't aching

How am I to feel?
Never was close to you
And I just feel so numb
Somebody please help me

There should be years
All I feel is confusion
Nor sure where to turn need someone

Here it is again
Death in front of my eyes
All my heart can feel is numbness

I'm so sorry
That I can't grieve for you
Pleae forgive me

No Longer Will I (Gizmo)

I miss you dear friend
You were always here to comfort me
In sadness,happiness, and in anger
Now I have to say goodbye

Not sure I'm strong enough
To endure the loss of you
For seeing your sweet face
Always made my days better

No Longer Will I
Have you greeting me at the door
No Longer Will I
Have you laying on my bed
No Longer Will I
Hear you purr

My baby
I loved you with all of my heart and soul
I pray that you are no longer in pain
Know this you will always have a place in our hearts

Not sure I'm strong enough
To endure the loss of you
For seeing you're sweet face
Always made my days better

No Longer Will I
Have you greeting me at the door
No Longer Will I
Have you laying on my bed
No Longer Will I
Hear you purr

I miss you dear friend
I'm so glad to have had you in my life
Go on now move on to a better place
Where you wont be in pain anymore

Gizmo,
my hunny bunny
You'll always be in my heart and soul.

*Note this song is about my beloved cat Gizmo, whom I lost in January of this year.*

Hope you enjoyed, sorry I was late posting this!,Ashley

Wicked Lovely Review

Wicked Lovely By Melissa Marr

Released: May 31st 2007
Published By: HaperTeen
Series:  Wicked Lovely,1
Page Amount: 328


"Aislinn has always seen faeries. Powerful and dangerous, they walk hidden in the mortal world. Aislinn fears their cruelty-especially if they learn of her Sight-and wishes she were as blind to their presence as other teens.







Rule #2: Don't speak to invisible faeries.


Now faeries are stalking her. One of them, Keenan, who is equal parts terrifying and alluring, is trying to talk to her, asking questions Aislinn is afraid to answer.






Rule #1: Don't ever attract their attention.


But it's too late. Keenan is the Summer King, who has sought his queen for nine centuries. Without her, summer itself will perish. His is determined that Aislinn will become the Summer Queen at any cost-regardless of her plans or desires.






Suddenly none of the rules that have kept Aislinn safe are working anymore, and everything is on the line: her freedom; her best friend, Seth; everything.


Faery intrigue, mortal love, and the clash of ancient rules and modern expectations swirl together in Melissa Marr's stunning twenty-first-century faery tale"

I first tried reading Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr, at the beginning of my book challenge and just didn't get into it. Wasn't until hearing a fellow book blogger talking on how wonderful Wicked Lovely is did I decide to pick it up again. I'm so glad I did. This is my first novel on faeries,or the fey as their called.
 
I truly loved learning about the fey world. I kinda knew where the book was going to end and I was right. Which I'm shocked about cause I've never guess an ending before. However I still am going to read the rest of the series!!
 
Plot: 20/20
Characters: 20/20
Creativity: 19/20
Writing: 20/20
Ending: 9/10
Cover: 10/10
= 98/100
 
Over all I recommend checking out Wicked Lovely By Melissa Marr!!
 
Happy Reading- Ashley
