This past week I threw almost everything out, I kept all the necessities and everything else was only gathering dust, so rather than hang onto them I gave them all to charity, now the possessions of my life which includes clothing can fit into the boot of my car.I know what I own and where everything is, I prefer it this way with just the necessities. I have heard it said that ones trash is another ones treasure.

Australians head to the polls tomorrow. I have no idea I don't like either Julia Gillard or Tony Abbott, what's this country coming to when that is what's on offer.

I also am going to start reading tonight Broken Wings from Melanie Nilles. I have read some of her work and she is a great science fiction, fantasy young adult author. If you get the chance go check her out you can download some of her work on her site or read sample chapters.

Back of the Book

Meghan Chase has a secret destiny—one she could never have imagined...

Something has always felt slightly off in Meghan's life, ever since her father disappeared before her eyes when she was six. She has never quite fit in at school...or at home.

When a dark stranger begins watching her from afar, and her prankster best friend becomes strangely protective of her, Meghan senses that everything she's known is about to change.

But she could never have guessed the truth— that she is the daughter of a mythical faery king and is a pawn in a deadly war. Now Meghan will learn just how far she'll go to save someone she cares about, to stop a mysterious evil no faery creature dare face...and to find love with a young prince who might rather see her dead than let her touch his icy heart.

The Iron King has everything for a good read, characters which the author made her own, fantasy, magic, mystery, romance and more. It somehow reminded me of a few other books Labyrinth - how far she would go to get her brother back, neverending story - the nothing and the nevernever.

Meghan's ipod was mentioned throughout, I was expecting her to use it as a weapon or something like that, although she did eventually use it for something, it wasn't what I had expected her to use it for.

I am currently reading the first book in The Iron Fey Trilogy by Julie Kagawa, The Iron King, you can download a free novella of Winter's Passage, which is a part of the trilogy until July 31st it can be downloaded in your preferred format, epub, pdf or lit. I thought someone may be interested in this. Enjoy
