Attempt to try Nanowrimo 2015 and note.

I have seen so many Youtubers and bloggers talking about this since last year and i really want to try it for this upcoming November. I never wrote a proper novel before and i would really like to try. I personally love writing so i am really looking forward to this!!!.

It's kind of scary too because i've seen some booktubers vlog their process of Nanowrimo and most of them seem to find it hard to write a certain amount of words each day. Haha.

Note: I haven't been very active on this blog due to start of uni and there's so much to do but i will try my best to fit in a time slot for me to post more often in this blog.

Review: Half-Blood by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Half - Blood by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Summary: The Hematoi descend from the unions of gods and mortals, and the children of the two Hematoi, pure-bloods, have godlike powers. Children of Hematoi and mortals - well, not so much. Half-bloods only have two options: become trained Sentinels who hunt and kill daimons or become servants in the homes of the pures.

Seventeen-year-old Alexandria would rather risk her life fighting than waste it scrubbing toilets, but she may end up slumming it anyway. There are several rules that students at the Covenant must follow. Alex has problems with them all, but especially rule #1:

Relationships between pures and halfs are forbidden...
