Been interested to read this memoir for a while... hopefully it lives up to my expectations.

"There is a greater happiness to be attained: the happiness of enjoying myself to the fullest during the one life I have and accepting myself for who I am." This book is deeply moving and empowering! Lily Collins is so open and honest and raw, she speaks from her heart with a fierceness and empowerment. This is her, and she's not ashamed. You shouldn't be ashamed of yourself either. A must read for any young woman learning to love herself.

I started yesterday, and haven't had a lot of time for reading this weekend, but boy is this good! Why have I put it off this long? Not a clue! But I'm hoping to devour it completely asap and have already recommended it to my brother, who I'm reminded of in each page :)

I devoured this book in a day! I just could not put it down, to the point that I forgot to eat Saturday because I was too busy reading it. Excited for the second book, and to see if my theories are correct!

Starting this beauty of a book today, so excited. And my mama has requested to find out if I think she'll enjoy it when I'm finished 😂

Booksblanketsandahotbeverage This one looks great! Enjoy! 6y
Tori_rose @BookHoarder32 I'm sure I will! I love the setting already, and judging from the list of how to pronounce the characters names, I'm getting to practice my mandarin while I read 😂 6y

I finished this beauty of a book last night, and while I couldn't sleep, even with the light on, because I'm easily spooked, I considered in detail what I would write here... I heard a lot of reviews that this book wasn't as creepy as the first, and while there is a definite reduction in creepy moments, the parts you do get do not disappoint! A fantastic Halloween read and can't wait to read the third when it arrives!

I picked this up from the library, on an impulse because I kept seeing it floating around bookstagram... I am so glad I did!

This book is beautiful in its portrayal of such a tragic maritime disaster, one I wasn't even aware of until I picked up this book (Scottish history education system is obviously lacking). A must read with all the feeling in that ending!

"You remember your first love because they show to you, prove to you, that you can love and be loved, that nothing in this world is deserved except for love, that love is both how you become a person, and why."

I love John Green's writing style!
As a suffer of anxiety, and mild OCD, I feel both conditions are painted in a very clear light, I can not fault him at all for the way he opens a concept many will never be able to quite grasp.

My god... this book... it made me smile so much my jaw hurt... Each page held its own laughter and tears... it was somewhat of an emotional rollercoaster, but told in the most beautiful way. Everyone should read this book!

It went a little slow in the middle for a bit, but overall this book was amazing! Loved the writing style and the chapters from different characters POV. That ending though! I need the next book... now!!!

This book... I'm just... wow! I laughed, I cried. My heart got ripped open, pieced back together, just to be ripped open again.... so many little twists and turns throughout... And that ending... if you liked the other books, just go read it now, but have some tissues handy! #acowar #acourtofwingsandruin #sarahjmaas #acotar #acomaf

So, this book... it gripped me so much in the beginning, and then the middle sort of dragged out a bit. But that ending... definitely need to read the next book to make a final decision, or just to find out what happens next... #thegraces #laureeve

This book was so slow at the start, which I understand, it had a lot to describe to get into the meat of the story, but yeah, once it had, it definitely picked up, with a nice twist at the end. I'm still interested to see how the story pans out in the second book, hopefully it keeps the pace of the last half of this one!

TaylorMay Ooh I like this cover! UK edition? 7y
Tori_rose @TaylorMay yes, it is. You can get one of three, but this is just the one amazon sent me... it would have been the one I'd have chosen though, so can't complain! 7y
TaylorMay This one is just more visually appealing to me. Sorry you didn't enjoy it more. Just starting it myself 7y
Tori_rose @TaylorMay I like past paced books, and the beginning is just really building up to this big fight they have to do, so it started to drag a bit for me... the ending was amazing, and has made me eager for the second book to see what happens next though, so it wasn't really a disappointment. I hope you enjoy it! 7y

Finished this beautiful book last night, and all I can say is: when is the second book released??? It was a bit of a slow starter, but the writing made me stick with it, and I'm so glad I did because I love this book! #strangethedreamer #lainitaylor #fairyloot

LibrarianRyan Next book in 2018. Spring. I love the British cover. So much prettier than the American cover. 7y
Tori_rose @LibrarianRyan thanks! It's such a pretty cover and has blue sprayed pages! Britain needs some pretty covers, America gets them all usually! 😉 7y
