Literary Confessions

Follow my blog with Bloglovin Hey guys! My friend Elle did a blog post about her Literary Confessions, and I thought it was really cool so I'm gonna do my own literary confessions! So here are some bookish things about me that you may or may not know!! (I'm leaning more towards the 'Don't already know'.) [First Confession] I dog ear my books I know, I know- It damages the book, it's criminal, it's horrible- I should use a bookmark. Believe me, I've heard all of this before. Thing is, I've tried using book marks, but i just can't! They fall out so easily, and whenever I use them I end up having to just memorize the page number I was on. Which gets old real quick. [Second Confession] I have a Love/Hate relationship with the Twilight Saga by Stephanie Meyer. I know a lot of people that hate this series, and I know a lot of people that love this series. I am both my friends. Don't hate me! I did reread the...

Wintersong

I was so excited for this book, like jumping up and down while squealing at my older brother about it kind-of excited. I actually didn't know too much about it, all I heard was it was about a Goblin King- and my heart was sold. I was in love with the movie The Labyrinth for a long time and would just dance around the house singing the songs (much to my dog's annoyance). Just the words Goblin King immediately made me want to pick up the book and find out more. However, it was very different from what I had expected. Synopsis: Beware the goblin men and the wares they sell. All her life, nineteen-year-old Liesl has heard tales of the beautiful, mysterious Goblin King. He is the Lord of Mischief, the Ruler Underground, and the muse around which her music is composed. Yet, as Liesl helps shoulder the burden of running her family’s inn, her dreams of composition and childish fancies about the Goblin King must be set aside in favor of more practical concerns. But whe...

Warcross Book Review

I kid you not, I liked this book better than Legend by Marie Lu (same author). But that shouldn't be a surprise based on how that trilogy ended in the first place... ANYWAYS... This book was so hyped, I was tempted to just not read it until everything calmed down. But I am so so glad that I did end up reading it! I read it for a reading challenge in the #AprilAThon readathon. The reading challenge had been to read a book with your favorite color on the cover. I picked Warcross becasue I am incapable of picking a favorite color- I love too many- so why not pick a book cover that has every single color on it? Synopsis:   For the millions who log in every day, Warcross isn’t just a game—it’s a way of life. The obsession started ten years ago and its fan base now spans the globe, some eager to escape from reality and others hoping to make a profit. Struggling to make ends meet, teenage hacker Emika Chen works as a bounty hunter, tracking down players who bet on the gam...

Spring Cleaning Book Tag

Hey guys! So this is going to be my first Book Tag!! Abigail from What Makes A Good Book , tagged me- so I've got some bookish questions to answer! (You'll find a link to her post, the Spring Cleaning Book Tag , here: http://whatmakesagoodbook.blogspot.co.uk/2018/04/spring-cleaning-book-tag.html ) And now for the questions! 1. The Struggle of getting started: a book/book series that you have struggled to begin because of it's size. Okay, this one was harder for me because I have all different kinds of reasons for why getting into a book or series is hard for me. Usually size doesn't bother me, but I would definitely have to say the Beautiful Creatures series. It took me years to work up the guts to actually pick up book one-  which I'll admit I loved with flying colors. However, now I'm finding trouble picking up book three as I'm worried what'll happen in the series. (Though book one was perfection.) 2. Cleaning out the w...

ANIME You HAVE To Watch

 It's not a secret that I love Anime by any means, and I actually plan to start talking about it a bit more. In this post, I will list my TOP FAVORITE Anime that you have to watch!! Yona of the Dawn (Akatsuki no Yona)  One of my all-time favorites, it's one season- so to find out what happens you'll have to read the manga (or read spoilers online).  It's a Fantasy, with romance (non-mushy), humor, and action! It follows a princess that quickly learns there's more important things than trying to find a suitor, her adventure to escape people who want her dead, and her discovering friends as she proves herself. Ouran High School Host Club (Ouran koukou Host Club)  One of the most hilarious anime I've ever seen! Haruhi Fujioka is a honor student attending Ouran High School- she has no friends, is poorer than anyone attending her school, and is easily mistaken for a boy thanks to her short hair and glasses that hide her eyes. Which just so...
