Clarity by Kim Harrington

When you can see things others can't, where do you look for the truth?
This paranormal murder mystery will have teens reading on the edge of their seats. Clarity "Clare" Fern sees things. Things no one else can see. Things like stolen kisses and long-buried secrets. All she has to do is touch a certain object, and the visions come to her. It's a gift.
And a curse.
When a teenage girl is found murdered, Clare's ex-boyfriend wants her to help solve the case - but Clare is still furious at the cheating jerk. Then Clare's brother - who has supernatural gifts of his own - becomes the prime suspect, and Clare can no longer look away. Teaming up with Gabriel, the smoldering son of the new detective, Clare must venture into the depths of fear, revenge, and lust in order to track the killer. But will her sight fail her just when she needs it most?

 Favorite Books: I will read almost anything and love a lot but at this point in time my fabourites include: The Hunger Games, Daughter of the Forest, Harry Potter, Rhapsody, Perks of Being a Wallflower
Favorite Movies: I'm not a huge movie person and most of my movie experience comes from being forced to watch them by my boyfriend and his mates. Things I have always loved though are Harry Potter, Voyage of the Unicorn, Tangled, Little Mermaid, Toy Story...anything Disney or Pixar
Favorite TV Shows: Parks and Recreation, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Stargate and Seinfeld.

Favorite Actors/Actresses: Colin Firth, Alan Rickman, Charlize Theron and Amy Poehler.
Favorite Music Artists: Ummmm, I'm not a music person either but I'm a big fan of 80s music (thanks to raiding Mum and Dad's music collection) and Barenaked Ladies are awesome....other than that whatever I am listening to.
Fandoms: There aren't my favourite identities within each of the series but I liked most of the choices. I don't follow the Mortal Instruments, Percy Jackson, Dr. Who or Battlestar Galactica series. I'm looking forward to staring the Mortal Instrument books and might watch Dr. Who one day.
Hobbies: Writing book reviews and articles, volunteering at the RSPCA or spending time with my dog or rabbit, and hanging out with friends.
Interests: Everything previously mentioned and I've recently caught the travel bug.
Random Fact About You: I've read 250 books this year on top of all my uni readings and working three days a week. I'm a book addict.
Things You Absolutely Despise: Ben Lee, smoking (I'm allergic to almost everything and cigarette smoke makes me cry), open mouth chewing and Facebook grammar.
Describe Yourself in Four Words: Obsessive Spontaneous Organised and Lazy
Do You Write? (If so, what?) I do! I write short stories (that I hate and never publish), and longer stories that never go anywhere. For about six months earlier this year I wrote regular articles during an internship with Women's Health and Fitness Australia and Australian Natural Health.

Moving into 2012

I succeeded in reading 200 books this year; in fact, I'm close to 250 with a few days to go. Unfortunately, due to responsibilities at home, at uni and at work I didn't manage to review even a quarter of them. I think I gave up around the 50ish mark. In fact, I haven't published much since March.
Pathetic, I know. I'm definitely going to keep the blog going next year. It has been a real asset and helped me get a 6 month internship with a Melbourne based Women's magazine. So, in order to keep my writing skills up to date, I will be creating a review schedule. My NYE resolution will not be to read a certain number of books (and kill it) but to post regularly and with more variety. 2012 will start on a Sunday and so will my posting schedule. 
Sunday: Weekly ReviewMonday: In My MailboxTuesday: Top Ten TuesdayWednesday: Waiting on WednesdayThursday: RestFriday: From Page to ScreenSaturday: Rest
I'll hopefully be posting some early reviews of ARC's and participating in blog tours, but I need to work on my blog first. It will be undergoing some renovations in the next few weeks as I get my brother to do some design work.
Something else I'll be introducing will be monthly genres. Each month will have a theme and the reviews will reflect that theme. I might post a few extra reviews, but it means I won't be as overloaded trying to catch up. I only have four reviews to stick to a month. Here's the monthly schedule:
This year Raiding Bookshelves will have a new format. At least four reviews a month, published every sunday. Each month will have it's own genre.I will also be publishing extra reviews on soon to be released ARCS.
January - Debut AuthorsFebruary - Romance and Bodice RippersMarch - Dystopian April - Young Adult and General FictionMay - FantasyJune - Jane Austen and RegencyJuly - AdventureAugust - Action and ThrillerSeptember - Science FictionOctober - Non-fiction and biographicalNovember - Fables, fairy tales and mytholoyDecember - Picture books and Children's literature
I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and enjoy your New Years Eve.
