#HufflepuffReadAThon Wrap-Up

Hey guys! So the Hufflepuff ReadAThon ended today, and as always I recorded my progress to share with you guys :D I co-hosted this readathon with my friend Desara , in honor of our Hogwarts House!  The challenges were based off the Hufflepuff traits, and some were combined so that there were only 5 challenges to complete. The challenges were: 1.  Read a book with flowers on the cover The Hufflepuff house is associated with the element of earth, so why not read a book with flowers or plants on it?   2. Read a book that you waited forever to get your hands on As Hufflepuffs value patience, why don't you read a book you've been very patient for? You deserve it!   3. Finish a book that you meant to a long time ago How about we show our dedication, hard work, and loyalty through finishing a book we started a long time ago? 4. Read a book with both yellow and black on the cover The Hufflepuff signature colors! Show our Hufflepuff pride! 5....

The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern

Title:   The Night Circus Author: Erin Morgenstern Summary:  The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not. Within the black-and-white striped canvas tents is an utterly unique experience full of breathtaking amazements. It is called Le Cirque des Rêves, and it is only open at night. But behind the scenes, a fierce competition is underway—a duel between two young magicians, Celia and Marco, who have been trained since childhood expressly for this purpose by their mercurial instructors. Unbeknownst to them, this is a game in which only one can be left standing, and the circus is but the stage for a remarkable battle of imagination and will. Despite themselves, however, Celia and Marco tumble headfirst into love—a deep, magical love that makes the lights flicker and the room grow warm whenever they so much as brush hands. True love or not, the game must play out, and the fates of everyone involved, fro...

The Empress by S. J. Kincaid

Follow me on BlogLovin! The sequel to The Diabolic by S. J. Kincaid, published in 2017 and just as amazing and touching as the first book. The first book was a total 5 stars, and I LOVED it to pieces. However as much as I enjoyed this book and also loved it, I rated it 4 stars. (Though I'm thinking of changing that to 4.5 stars.)   Synopsis: It’s a new day in the Empire. Tyrus has ascended to the throne with Nemesis by his side and now they can find a new way forward—one where they don’t have to hide or scheme or kill. One where creatures like Nemesis will be given worth and recognition, where science and information can be shared with everyone and not just the elite. But having power isn’t the same thing as keeping it, and change isn’t always welcome. The ruling class, the Grandiloquy, has held control over planets and systems for centuries—and they are plotting to stop this teenage Emperor and Nemesis, who is considered nothing more than a creature and certai...
