Organizing Books!!

This can be a messy task. Just can't find anything, this post is just for you.
I have a considerable collection of books, yet literally no place to stove them. So i went for this carton and dumped all of those books i hardly used. Otherwise if you have access to lifestyle/furniture stores you can consider purchasing plastic storage boxes.

You can also get trunks,which you could fit beside your bed, or any other place of your choice. You can go for an inexpensive one and decorate it.

You can add a wall cabinet just above your study desk or in a cozy corner of your room which has some books which you like to read in your leisure time.
Another option is you can add a few shelves into your cart, and get them hammered or probably attached to your wall or cupboard,and place your books or other miscellaneous stuff.
I will definitely recommend you to get a closet specially for your books in case you have many.
 This is not much of a problem for me, because i read ebooks more than hardcovers, so it works just alright.

Vampire Academy!

ALERT: I tired to minimize the no. of spoilers i could accidentally reveal. So tread this post carefully if you haven't yet read the book. Spoilers in RED.

So this is a really thrilling,and edgy novel! It is adrenalin packed throughout the 6 books in the series. Written by Richelle Mead,it is one of the best selling novels. I am not as rabid as a fan, and i definitely read this book due to its anticipation. I surely reccommend it to one who seeks to read a novel series, all based on vampires. It always keeps us sort of springy on our toes, we may not know,what moment a fight may commence( When suddenly a evil vampire may drop in front of you).

NECESSARY INFORMATION: There are 2 types of Vampires: Strigoi(the immortal, without a soul, and bad) and the Moroi(The good vampires, who live simply in peace, but are subject to attack from strigoi)

Rose Hathaway has sworn to protect the vampire Vasilissa Dragomir, the last remnant of the Dragomir lineage, whether she is assigned to her or not. However several obstacles unfold themselves in this 6 book series, several related to her previous instructor aka lover, Dimitri. She is a really humorous character, and really enlightens several scenes .
Rose Hathaway is an outgoing character, who is potrayed to be really indecisive. However over the series,she rather gains more control over herself, her descisions, and becomes much more mature. However she undergoes a whole lot of emotional and physical trauma as well. Rose shares a bond with Lissa, in which she could get into Lissa's mind and can sense her conscience.

Lissa( Or Vasilissa) is a royalty. She is the sane, calm and thoughtful one of the duo( Rose and her). She is peaceful, and is a very caring person. However in certain scenarios, she is the unstable and out of control one. She channels one of the rarest form of magic,Spirit. This is one of the dangerous form of magic, and has the potential to drive one practicing this crazy. Her love interest is Christian Ozera. She has the ability of bringing back the dead, healing the injured, identifying one's mood according to the aura they posses.

Christian Ozera: Hailing from the Royal,defamed Ozera lineage, he is a social outcast. He likes spending time alone in a church, and he specializes in the fire element. Rebellious of the social hierarchy, he practices offensive magic.

Dimitri Bellikov: Also called "a god" by a few students, he is one of the most successful dhampirs. He has killed several Strigoi, however his own assigned Moroi was attacked and killed by the Strigoi. He volunteers to train Rose, when she is one the verge of being expelled from the academy, as a result of "Her irresponsible actions." He trains her every day, to bring her back on track, in line with her fellow class mates. However as time passes he starts falling for her, so does she and they become subject to a lust charm. As you progress in reading the series, there are several unexpected and terrible things, that happen with him.

Adrian Ivashkov : Huzzah!!Probably one of the most adorable, and lovable character of this series. He is one of the most anticipated character of the movie as well( Several people have high expectations for his character, So do I!!!♥) He falls in love with Rose, and tries his best to gain her attention. He gives up drinking and smoking for her. He makes innumerable sacrifices for her, just in the hope she will love him back one day, BUT SHE DOESN'T. He definitely deserved a lot better. Ohhh and yeah, he is also a spirit user.

Jeanine Hathway: She is the extremely busy mother of Rose. Initially in the book, they don't get along that much. They definitely do not share the mother-daughter bonding or relationship. However along the book, they get to know and understand each other better. Jeanine is a very dedicated, and skillful dhampir.

Ibrahim (Abe) Mazur: A very colourful and influential man! He can get things done pretty easily but at a certain prices. He is very flirtatious as well, and is Rose's father.

Victor Dashkov: A very self centered man, who always has ulterior motives. In the first book it is discovered that he threatens Lissa's life and is mentally torturing her. He plans to topple Queen Tatiana of the throne, and make changes in the ruling patterns. He is killed by Rose, when the spirit she channels from Lissa consumes and takes over her.

Jill Mastrano: Also called Little girl by Adrian, she is a sweet little disciple of Christian, and learns practicing offensive magic with him. She practices water magic. In the latest books, she is discovered to be the illegitimate daughter of Eric Dragomir, the step-sister of Lissa, and is the only medium, that gives Lissa the validity to contest to be the queen.

Tasha Ozera: She has feelings for Dimitri, and wishes to marry him and sire their child, however he is in love with Rose, and is unwilling to commit to anyone. She is belived to be a very sweet and lovely woman however she develops resentment for Rose in the latter books, and even tries to make Rose a scapegoat in a very despicable and grave crime she commits, "Murder the Queen."

Sydney: She is an alchemist, one of a group of humans who dabble in magic and serve to bridge the worlds of human and vampires. She helps Rose in several occasions on the command of Abe, and starts to like her towards the ending.

Whom do you ship, ROSE AND DIMITRI or ROSE AND ADRIAN?

You can move on to the bloodlines series next, also written by Richelle Mead, which drifts off Rose and Lissa, and focuses more on Adrian, Jill , Sydney and other characters.
See you with other posts. Till then Byeee!
