It's a good book but I have mixed feelings about it

WHAT I LIKED: It was pretty okay overall. The plot was a little cliche but it delivered well. Although it took me around half of the book to fully appreciate the story and the characters, it didn't stop me from reading. I also liked...

I had minimal issues but the book was overall enjoyable!

Well, this turned out to be pretty good! I really enjoyed this book and was able to finish it in a day! Although, the concept is pretty much similar to some YA Contemporaries I’ve read before, it still managed to stand out on its own. This is actually the first...

Looking for time traveling pirates? This one's for you!

I’m really not sure why but I kept on putting this book down for a long time. I guess I was just too drawn into reading contemporaries that I forget how great fantasy novels can be. This book was super interesting, the first few chapters were cool...

Incredible and unique narration of Love and its different forms

It’s true that this book will charm readers of all ages. And this book got me out of my reading slump. From the first chapter, I got hooked already because of the wit and sass of the narrator. See, this book is about love and is narrated...

ALL THE FLUFF

This was one of my most anticipated reads because I truly loved Nathan and Preston since No Love Allowed and I’m so glad that I wasn’t disappointed! It turned out to be a pretty quick read for me and I truly was left wanting more, but at the same time,...

Amazing debut

UGH! I have so many feelings for this book! It’s so good and I’m really wondering why people aren’t talking about it that much. But hey, here I am hosting a blog tour for the book since I really want others to read about this book. Also have you...

A million times amazing

I think you will agree with me when I say that the hype train for this book series never ends. We’ve all seen how people kept on talking about Illuminae last year and I was really excited for that book that I always check my local book stores whenever I...

Great follow up!

Oh boy! This book was a great ride! The story picks up immediately after the events of Ember, which was a relief because the first book ended in a cliffhanger. For this book, we get three POVs, now including Helene which is really amazing because I like...

A great tale about grief and loss

I really enjoyed this book. I was having quite the long day inside the lab, when I decided to pick this book up so I was able to read it in one sitting, while doing some lab works. And it was more than enough to keep the boredom away. ...

Heartwarming and realistic

I have been hearing great things about this book from a few bloggers which made me both excited and intimidated to read this book. I feel like it’s been loaded in my kindle app for ages but I don’t know why I didn’t find some time to read it sooner....

Strong debut

I think that the synopsis of this book is one of the main reasons why I felt so drawn into reading it. I'm still on this phase of reading tons of YA Thrillers and I'm really loving the ride. From the first sentence of the book,...

Heartfelt, poignant, and swoonworthy

I picked this book up on a whim and I'm so glad I did because it was a really fast read and the first scene got me hooked already. At first glance, the synopsis might have thrown me off a little because it somehow presents a lot of cliche tropes...

One of the best thrillers I've read

Ever read one of those books where you feel like you’re watching a cool movie as everything plays out in your head? The Darkest Corners is exactly that book. It’s gripping from the start and definitely a page-turner. The story starts with Tessa boarding a flight to...

Heartfelt story

This book is one of my most anticipated releases for 2016. Having been read Beth Revis' recent novel, The Body Electric, which I really enjoyed, I wanted to check out her other works as well. This book reminded me of Neal Shusterman's Challenger Deep. Honestly, I...

I love this book!

It’s a great experience to jump back into the world of Hundred Oaks. This series has been one of my favorites. How awesome it is to have seven novels all revolving around one town? Pretty cool, right? Since Miranda Kenneally is one of my favorite authors, I...
