<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The bi-annual prediction post!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">My only other prediction post was for </span><a href="http://aboveaveragebelowspecial.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/predictions-crown-of-midnight-by-sarah.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Crown of Midnight</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> so it must be a Sarah J Maas thing to leave so many theories and questions! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>How did my predictions fare last time?</strong></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Crown of Midnight Predictions</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #e06666;"><strike><em>Celaena is somehow related to Elena. They come from the same country and Elena is drawn to her....</em></strike> </span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><span style="color: #e06666;"> <span style="color: black;">Yes!</span> </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="color: #e06666;"><strike><em>King has a big plan for Wyrdmarks. He seemed to be testing their limits in Throne of Glass and he disappeared with that army.</em> </strike></span><span style="color: black;">Ooo definitely yes!</span></span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="color: #e06666;"><em>Philippa has some sort of magical ability. I definitely feel there is more to her than meets the eye!</em> </span><span style="color: black;">Can't even remember this character....</span></span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="color: #e06666;"><em>Chaol and Dorian will be locked in a love triangle of sorts for awhile yet! They remind me of George and Jon in the Song of the Lioness Quartet so I think it will be down to the last book or two!</em> </span><span style="color: black;">Hmmm they still remind me of George and Jon and Rowan now reminds me of Liam!</span></span></span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> Now for new predictions! </span><br />

<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Dorian will be instrumental to Celaena somehow. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Marion's daughter Elide will turn up as an ally or an enemy (I did think she might have been Sorscha.) </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Sam and his history with Celaena and Arobynn will be central (Which is why I'm reading The Assassin's Blade).</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> Manon Blackbeak will align with Celaena.</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Long Term </strong></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Rowan will die heroically at some point. I like him but I just feel like that's where his character is heading :(</span></li>
</ul>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">So many new releases and older ones turning up in my local Waterstones that my shelves are looking crowded...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I was thrilled to finally get <em>This Shattered World by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner </em>and <em>Snow Like Ashes by Sara Raasch </em>as I was determined not to Amazon them. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><em>The Lost and Found by Cat Clarke </em>was definitely a BOGOHP purchase but a great blurb. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Similar to <em>Court of Fives by Kate Elliott</em> but <em>Court of Fives </em>was already on my Goodreads!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">The rest are mainly sequels/companions or known authors! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Luckily my library has a great selection so I've managed to pick up two 2015 releases! <em>Outcaste by Ellen Renner </em>the sequel to <em>Tribute </em>which I loved and <em>Saint Anything by Sarah Dessen </em>which I read a teaser of and needed more. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I've got so many fabulous books to read that I don't know where to start! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Which would you recommend? </span><br />

<span id="freeText16329420937586681746"><em><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The sport she loves is out of reach. The boy she loves has someone else</span></em><em><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>.</strong>What now?<br />She expected to start Harkness College as a varsity ice hockey player. But a serious accident means that Corey Callahan will start school in a wheelchair instead.<br />Across the hall, in the other handicapped-accessible dorm room, lives the too-delicious-to-be real Adam Hartley, another would-be hockey star with his leg broken in two places. He’s way out of Corey’s league.<br />Also, he’s taken.<br />Nevertheless, an unlikely alliance blooms between Corey and Hartley in the “gimp ghetto” of McHerrin Hall. Over tequila, perilously balanced dining hall trays, and video games, the two cope with disappointments that nobody else understands.<br />They’re just friends, of course, until one night when things fall apart. Or fall together. All Corey knows is that she’s falling. Hard.<br />But will Hartley set aside his trophy girl to love someone as broken as Corey? If he won’t, she will need to find the courage to make a life for herself at Harkness — one which does not revolve around the sport she can no longer play, or the brown-eyed boy who’s afraid to love her back.</span></em></span></div>

<strong><u><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Thoughts</span></u></strong></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">It's taken me awhile to get my
thoughts together on The Year We Fell Down so this will be a short and sweet
review! </span><o:p></o:p><br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">I absolutely loved the take on
the usual cliché especially the approach to disability. </span><o:p></o:p><br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">Corey was a seemingly well-adjusted
girl who just needed to work on her emotional side! I admired her determination
to live out the life she had planned as closely as possible, it made it
impossible to view her as a one dimensional extension of her wheelchair. Her self-decrepitating
humour added to this although at times it was a bit much. </span><o:p></o:p><br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">Hartley had broken his leg
leaving him out of sport and in crutches which allowed for an interesting bond
to form between Corey and him as she got to play an 'expert role'. Hartley was
such a charming character, I loved how well he listened to Corey and read her
hidden meanings- there was very little miscommunication! His secret background
really added dimension to his character as it made him vulnerable. </span><o:p></o:p><br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">Side casts are my favourite and
The Year We Fell Down did not disappoint. </span><o:p></o:p><br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">Dana was a fun and social
housemate to Coery who didn't even bat an eyelid at sharing with a disabled
person in a different setup then everyone. I loved reading her interactions
with Daniel and look forward to reading more of that. </span><o:p></o:p><br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">Corey's family were all still
adjusting to her new life. Her father in particularly seemed riddled with guilt
which lead to overprotectiveness. Her brother was a typical big brother as well
as a good friend. </span><o:p></o:p><br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">Bridger was a great best friend
to Hartley and very welcoming to Corey. He initially seemed a typical jock but
he had a few issue under the surface. I found him intriguing and looked forward
to reading his book!</span><o:p></o:p><br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">Hartley's Mum was brilliant. I
loved how welcoming and selfless she was to Corey and Bridger. I admired her
more as Hartley's background was explored. </span><o:p></o:p><br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">Corey’s disability although prominently
portrayed throughout the book, was not a central part of the plot. It added to
Corey by creating an unfulfilled athletic dream and created a
bond between Hartley and Corey but it was never made to be a big issue. I also
loved how in Corey 's case the wheelchair was a very fluid conception,
sometimes she used crutches or scooted around etc. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> When I looked at Goodreads I was shocked as I felt I'd been reading lots and then I realised I'd been rereading a lot! I love rereading, going back to your favourite passages or just opening on a random page and re-experiencing it all. Book Worm Alert!</span></div>

My life has always been ruled by both.<br />Dallas Cole loathes football. That's what happens when you spend your whole childhood coming in second to a sport. College is her time to step out of the bleachers, and put the playing field (and the players) in her past.<br />But life doesn't always go as planned. As if going to the same college as her football star ex wasn’t bad enough, her father, a Texas high school coaching phenom, has decided to make the jump to college ball… as the new head coach at Rusk University. Dallas finds herself in the shadows of her father and football all over again.<br />Carson McClain is determined to go from second-string quarterback to the starting line-up. He needs the scholarship and the future that football provides. But when a beautiful redhead literally falls into his life, his focus is more than tested. It's obliterated.<br />Dallas doesn't know Carson is on the team. Carson doesn't know that Dallas is his new coach's daughter.<br />And neither of them know how to walk away from the attraction they feel.</span></em><br />

characters are unique and well written. Most importantly All Lined Up never
reads like a cliché New Adult book with the ‘typical dramas’. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m slowly reading my way through this series

<em><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Kylie Warner prides herself on being optimistic, but after finding her best friend in bed with her boyfriend and flunking chemistry, her upbeat attitude has taken a dive. Even an impromptu hook-up with her sexy new chemistry tutor only brightens her mood slightly. After all, it’s not like she’ll ever see the tattooed scholar again…<br />While he’s a whiz at complex equations, Jonathon Kadisch has trouble when it comes to figuring out women. So when Kylie tells him that she’s pregnant after their night of passion, he’s at a complete loss. He’s prepared to be a good father—unlike his own deadbeat dad—but he’s less prepared to fall for the genuine and alluring blonde bearing his child.<br /> With emotions running high, Kylie wonders if Jonathon’s devotion is out of growing love or looming obligation. And when heartbreak threatens to tear them apart, Jonathon will have to fight for the only girl who’s ever made him feel whole…</span></em><br />

twists and well developed characters. Kylie despite her ‘dumb blonde’ facade
actually proved herself as resilient and independent. Jonathan was a great male
lead with an interesting backstory. I enjoyed catching up with the cast at the
end, tying up loose ends. It was a good end to a fab series!</span><o:p></o:p><br />

<em><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Audrey Valdez didn’t mean to fall for Will Anders. He isn’t her type. At all. But his goofy smile, Star Wars quotes and athletic body make it impossible. She's lived so long in the darkness and Will is like the sun. He makes her laugh more than she has in years and cares for her more than her own family. <br /><br />But there are things about Audrey that Will doesn't know, things he can't know. She tries to push him away, but he just ends up getting closer to her, and to her secret. Is the risk of losing him forever worth the chance a being with the only person she's ever loved who has loved her back?</span></em></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">First of all it makes me happy when sequels/series match <3. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Queen of Shadows by Sarah J. Maas</strong>~ As always Sarah Maas' covers are on point! My love of the cover </span><a href="http://aboveaveragebelowspecial.blogspot.co.uk/2014/09/cover-love-stunning-series-so-far.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">designs is well documented.</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>The Boy Most Likely To by Huntley Fitzpatrick</strong>~ I like this over not as much as I love </span><a href="http://aboveaveragebelowspecial.blogspot.co.uk/2014/09/my-life-next-door-by-huntley-fitzpatrick.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">My Life Next Door</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> just because it's less eye catching. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>P.S. I Still Love You by Jenny Han</strong>~ I love how this reflects the simple beauty of To All The Boys I Loved Before, just imagine them side by side! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Nowhere But Here by Katie McGarry</strong>~ I like the bold typography and the motorbike, subtle but effective. Not sure if the UK edition will have a different cover though...</span><br />
<strong><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Have you seen any new covers that have caught your eye? </span><br />

She’s made a promise to herself: don’t let anyone in, and don’t let anyone love her. She’s learned the hard way what happens if she breaks her rules. So she’s focused on being invisible and waiting until she can set out on the road—her dream of freedom, at least for a little while.</em></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><em><span style="color: black;">Blake Hunter is a basketball star who has it all—everything about him looks perfect to those on the other side of his protective walls. He can’t let anyone see the shattered pieces behind the flawless facade or else all his hopes and dreams will disappear.</span><span style="color: black;">One dark night throws Chloe and Blake together, changing everything for Blake. For Chloe, nothing changes: she has the road, and she’s focused on it. But when the so-called perfect boy starts to notice the invisible girl, they discover that sometimes with love, no one knows where the road may lead.</span></em></span></span></span></div>
<u><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><em></em></span></u><br />
<u><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><em>What I Loved!</em></span></u><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Concept- </strong>I liked the idea of a road trip with no destination or timeframe. In fact I think if the road trip had been the story with the extra cast fitting in along the way I would have enjoyed the story more. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Side Cast~ </strong>Clayton, although ultimately replaced by Blake in Chloe's life I loved this character! He was mysterious in a good way and kept me questioning until the end. Mary and Joe, such lovely parents and good people, loved reading their scenes. I love Josh's banter with Chloe and Blake at work and his general demeanour. I was intrigued by his story with Tommy and I would love to read more from his point of view. </span><br />
<u><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">What I Didn't!</span></u><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Main Characters~ </strong>I normally don't mind instalove but this time I found Blake and Chloe irritating together! Their meeting was cute but it was extended into a random breakfast at Clayton's house and some very cringy conversation. I enjoyed their characters separately and together sometimes but mostly Chloe was mysterious and Blake was head over heels. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Plot points~ </strong>Just a few annoying points! Blake cheats on his girlfriend who was cheating on him with his best friend but this is never resolved. Hannah and Oliver are never mentioned again except for an episode with Chloe which again never resolved. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I get that Chloe is invisible but there are two young female characters, slutty Hannah and virtuous Chloe.. So many issues are briefly visited and then never explored!</span><br />

<u><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><em>What I Loved</em></span></u><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Reed Family</strong>- I loved all of them! Paul was such a good but funny older brother and I liked how he'd stepped up and never complained. Matt, typical 'gentle' brother but I did enjoy reading his interactions with Kit and his determination to live a good life. (?) and Seth (?) were a bit too playboyesque at times but very witty and balanced out the family. I loved how they all adopted Kit but equally warned her not to hurt Logan. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Sign Language</strong>- The way they were all so proficient with sign language and teaching Hayley to sign was heart warming and I loved how they translated Logan when he signed in front of Kit especially when it was rude!</span><br />
<u><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><em>What I Didn't!</em></span></u><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Cliches- </strong>At times the clichés were just too much, like assuming Logan had a daughter and Logan being just so attractive despite the fact he seemed very aloft and rude to outsiders. It also annoyed me that Logan hadn't bothered to speak to his family why? They would have been supportive. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Kit's secret- </strong>It was really built up and was anti-climatic! I felt it made Kit seem like a sulky child acting out and I lost some of the respect I initially had for her. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;">I love when the lead characters have an uncliche 'issue' like Logan did and it's just woven in to the narrative. The side cast and details really made this book. I've read a few of the novellas (out of sequence!) so it's safe to say I am a Reed fan!</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I started this on a whim last year as my Mum's a fan but it wasn't on UK Netflix or particularly easy to stream so I gave up..... Then a Lovefilm free trial made it oh so easy to watch 2 episodes at a time and return the discs! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I'm on <strong>Season 2 Disc 4</strong> at the moment and relatively unspoilt due to 5 no longer airing OUAT in the UK!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">2014 was my least successful blogging year but years are full of highs and lows! I had a </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">great year career wise which unfortunately meant a low year blogging. I am proud of myself for sticking to blogging and this year my focus will be on consistency. </span><br />

</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Diversity~ </strong>I was achieving this up until my blogging slump, I had interviews, discussions, behind the blog, and self challenges. </span></div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Blog Design- </strong>This goal is rolling over as I'm in the final stages!</span></div>

<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Posts. </strong>I didn't reach my goal once even during my good blogging period so I may have been too ambitious. </span></div>

<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><strong>Social Media. </strong>I need to get back in to tweeting and instagramming regularly! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So I've been very AWOL since starting my teacher training course haven't I? I honestly had plans to be a good blogger and trainee teacher but the reality is I leave for school at 7.30am and get home at 7pm with planning and assignments filling up my time! I'm struggling to figure out this work/study/blog/life balance thing that everyone else seems to have worked out :/ </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you have any tips let me know! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">However I am currently recovering from Norovirus so I'm housebound for 48 hours and will be trying to write up posts ready for the end of the year! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
