Roseblood by A. G. Howard

Follow me on BlogLovin! Roseblood , another awseome retelling by A. G. Howard- except this one is based off The Phantom of the Opera . It's one stand alone novel, but it is AMAZING. Gothic feeling, France setting, boarding school, haunted and paranormal feels. Synopsis:   In this modern day spin on Leroux’s gothic tale of unrequited love turned to madness, seventeen-year-old Rune Germain has a mysterious affliction linked to her operatic talent, and a horrifying mistake she’s trying to hide. Hoping creative direction will help her, Rune’s mother sends her to a French arts conservatory for her senior year, located in an opera house rumored to have ties to The Phantom of the Opera. At RoseBlood, Rune secretly befriends the masked Thorn—an elusive violinist who not only guides her musical transformation through dreams that seem more real than reality itself, but somehow knows who she is behind her own masks. As the two discover an otherworldly connection and a soul-...

Guarded Wish by Addison Carmichael

Follow me on BlogLovin! There was a book that was published recently (in February), and I was hooked after reading the synopsis. I couldn't wait to read it, and book two comes out in June! (Also can't wait to read!) Well, I have finished it now and am ready to tell you guys what I think! Published: February 2018 Genre: Fantsay, fairytales/make-believe come to life Author: Addison Carmichael Title: Guarded Wish Synopsis:    YOUR DARKEST WISH COME TRUE—if only… What would you do if your fantasy love came to life? It wasn’t weird that Sandy Koufax dreamed of Peter throughout the years. Everyone has imaginary friends growing up. Particularly if you’re a lonely foster kid in the system. But just as Sandy comes of age and stops believing in the impossible existence of her perfect fantasy guy, she strangely receives a cupcake and candle with a notecard that reads: Happy Birthday, Sandy. Make a wish. I promise it will come true. And you know I always keep my...

Boku no hero Academia [Anime Discussion]

 Follow me on BlogLovin! HELLO FROM THE ANIME SIDE!!!!!! IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME WITHOUT SUNLIGHT!!!!! (Dang it, that didn't rhyme...) It is time for an Anime Discussion!! Boku no hero academia (This is a poster in my room btw, it's right next to a Fullmetal Alchemist poster.) Anyways... I binge watched the first two seasons of Boku no hero academia with my brother, but now season 3 is out!! Sadly only one episode comes out every week :( But it's more none the less! I love love love this anime so much! This is me, while I watch it: ''My dweebie children!!" This anime takes place with people having evolved to where they have superpowers called 'Quirks'. There are people without quirks, but the majority of the population have them. And being a superhero is a dream that can truly be accomplished. Which is what our main character, Izuku Midoriya, wants to do. There were some characte...

Flame In The Mist by Renée Ahdieh

Follow me on BlogLovin! I recently read Flame in the Mist as a Buddy Read with Amanda . Before I had agreed to Buddy Read it- I'd mostly just heard a lot about it. A lot of my friends were excited for it, or wanting to read it, or just straight up buying it to read it. A ton of hype for this book- which if you know me, means that I didn't really want to read it because of the hype. (Weird, I know. But I just don't like to read things that have a lot of hype.) However, I was once again proven wrong about really hyped books- Flame in the Mist was truly amazing. Synopsis:   The only daughter of a prominent samurai, Mariko has always known she’d been raised for one purpose and one purpose only: to marry. Never mind her cunning, which rivals that of her twin brother, Kenshin, or her skills as an accomplished alchemist. Since Mariko was not born a boy, her fate was sealed the moment she drew her first breath. So, at just seventeen years old, Mariko is sent to ...

#UnicornWriteAThon Progress and Updates

  Follow me on BlogLovin! Alright guys! The WriteAThon my friend was hosting has ended! So it's time for me to share my accomplishments, progress, and updates with you! If you didn't know, my friend Desara hosted the UnicornWriteAThon , which was from May 13th - 19th. All you had to do was set a word goal for your writing, and try to accomplish it during the weeklong WriteAThon! I had two writing goals: 1. To write 2,000 words. 2. To write for 24-hours. The former was because I would be busy the last half of that week, and I wasn't sure how much writing time I would actually get. So I set the word goal smaller, but not too small. 2,000 words is still a lot! The latter would not be a 24-hour writing session all in one sitting, so don't freak out. Over the whole week I would record my writing time until it added up to 24 hours. Make sense? I hope so. What was I writing? My novel that I hope to self-publish this year! When Stars Fall From The Sky , he...

#UnicornWriteAThon | 24-hour Writing Plan Announcement

Follow me on BlogLovin So my friend Desara is hosting a WriteAThon! The UnicornWriteAThon , and it's from May 13th - 19th. What you do: Set a word goal to accomplish during this writing period. My friend's goal is 3,500 words on her novel. For the UnicornWriteAThon I will actually have 2 goals: 1. To write 2,000 words. 2.  To write for 24-hours. I know that my first writing goal seems rather small to some, but I have plans for the last half of that week- and I don't know for sure just how much writing time I'll have. So I'm going to go with a smaller amount for now. For the second writing goal, I plan to space out my writing until it equals up to 24 hours (or more). I've personally never done it before, but I've been planning to for awhile now. I will be working on my novel, When Stars Fall From The Sky . For those who don't know, here's a link to my tab about it: https://bookswithnoel.blogspot.com/p/blog-page_22.htm...

#CaffeineAThon Wrap-Up

 Follow me on BlogLovin  Hey guys!! The readathon I was hosting, has ended! It was from May 1st - 7th, and I also did a TBR video on my YouTube Channel (I'll be doing a Wrap-Up video today for it too.) There were 5 challenges for the CaffeineAThon : 1. Read a book that you've heard nothing about. 2. Read a book that you recieved as a gift, but haven't read yet. 3. Read a book you picked out (or bought) because of the cover.  4. Read a book that is popular- but you haven't read yet. 5. Drink Coffee (or tea) whenever you sit down to read a book. The idea of the 5th challenge was to drink something with caffeine, but you did not have to strictly stick to that. You could just drink water (I understand if certain drinks mess with your stomach). There were only 4 reading challenges so that it would be easier and less stressful for anyone who wanted to join :) My TBR for the CaffeineAThon: - The Iron Trial by Cassandra Clare and Holly B...
