My favourite books

These books are all five star books. I would award them more if I could.


                                                       
                                                         Graceling by Kristin Cashore

This was a book I started not knowing what to expect and was blown away by the fiery and badass character that is Katsa and the wonderful, playful, and unique Po.  







   A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J Maas

I first fell in love with SJM's Throne of Glass series and I started A Court of Thorns and Roses partly for the love of her writing and because it is a re-telling of my favourite fairytale Beauty and the Beast. I highly enjoyed the first book. It was wonderful. So I started it hoping for something just as good and instead found one of my absolute favourite books I've ever read. I can read this over and over and over and never get tired of it. Feyre's journey from the ending of ACOTAR to the ending of this book is magnificent and magical. I highly anticipate it's sequel A Court of Wings and Ruin. Which releases May 2nd, 2017.








  The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton  

This is the first and only book I read for school that I actually liked and read again in my own time. It is also the book that inspired my first and only (at this time) tattoo. 







Throne of Glass (series) by Sarah J Maas

What can I say? Sarah J Maas is the queen of fantasy and is one of my favourite authors of all time. Second only to the queen who is J.K. Rowling.








Wicked Lovely (series) by Melissa Marr

If you love faeries and a twist in the story read this series!











Harry Potter (series) by J.K. Rowling

My first love in literature. My place of solace that I will return to time and time again. 








The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern

Magical. 









An arranged marriage story and dystopian. A wonderful group of characters.






The Infernal Devices by Cassandra Clare

So beautiful.






Beautifully written, and features my favourite "villian".





Rook by Sharon Cameron

Dystopian Paris!




The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen

A lovely YA Contemporary.






The Wrath and the Dawn by Renee Ahdieh

Supposedly a retelling of A Thousand and One Nights, but I feel it is more of a retelling of Beauty and the Beast which I am in love with. 





Divergent (trilogy) by Veronica Roth

The best dystopian I've read.






Wither (trilogy) by Lauren DeStefano

Another very interesting dystopian and involving arranged marriage.

The Juliette Chronicles (Shatter Me, Destroy Me, Unravel Me, Fracture Me, Ignite Me) Review

This review contains SPOILERS... So... I have been completely swept away by these books. They are so beautiful. I was very hesitant to read these books. I have been reading A LOT of dystopian novels lately. (For the last two years.) And I was beginning to feel like perhaps I had read all the good ones. I also, and I am ashamed to admit this judged these books by the original cover of Shatter Me . I know, I know! "Never judge a book by it's cover." But in the past I have read books that had crappy covers, and the contents inside matched the outside. And I guess I also didn't want to be disappointed by another book that others had raved about. I just finished Cruel Beauty by Rosamund Hodge before I picked up Shatter Me. And let's just say my hopes were "Shattered" (pun intended) by the aforementioned novel. But I will get into that later if I end up doing a review for Cruel Beauty.  But, my goodness am I ever so happy that I decided to give it

Review of "The Queen of the Tearling" by Erika Johansen

Based on several reviews I had read about this book I was not expecting to like it very much. But it was quite the opposite. I truly enjoyed how Ms. Johnansen wrote about the importance of books and literacy in society. As well as her mentions of popular books from our era. The use of magic was not overdone which kept the story from being too far-fetched. There were parts of this book that disturbed me a bit. I have never been a big fan of the use of profanity in literacy. But that was one of the few things I disliked about this book. It was a breath of fresh air to read about a female protagonist who had a realistic self-consciousness about herself and was not perfect and beautiful in appearance as a lot of these literary heroines seem to be in books of this same genre. There are no perfect characters in this story as well which I feel also supports the realism of this story.  ----Spoilers Ahead--- - -- --- ---- ----- ------ ------- -------- ---------
