The Crown's Fate | Evelyn Skye
post image
Mehso-so

I finally got around to reading The Crown's Fate, and I have to say I was a little disappointed. I just did not enjoy it as much as The Crown's Game. I didn't have a favorite character to root for. What did you think? #bookish #thecrownsfate #bookreview

Strange the Dreamer | Laini Taylor

Bailedbailed

Dreamer the Strange is my #currentread . If you're into steampunk and the Ink and Bone series, then you will like this book. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to bail on this book; I'm a quarter of the way though, and I'm just not into it. Maybe I'll try again when the sequel comes out. I'm usually not a quitter, but I want to spend my 2-week vacay reading books I enjoy. #bookish #bookreview

The ring, Harry. Marvolo's ring. And a terrible curse there was upon it too. Had it not been — forgive me the lack of seemly modesty — for my own prodigious skill, and for Professor Snape's timely action when I returned to Hogwarts, desperately injured, I might not have lived to tell the tale. However, a withered hand does not seem an unreasonable exchange for a seventh of Voldemort's soul. The ring is no longer a Horcrux.

I'm not one to abandon books, but I thought that Conversations with Friends had no literary value. See my blog for full review.

White Fur | Jardine Libaire

I always thought Romeo and Juliet was a little absurd. Two 13 year olds fall in love in 2 weeks then commit suicide because their parents cannot get along. Shakespeare had a flair for the dramatics so I shouldn't be surprised that a retelling would be just as absurd. Elise and Jamey's story burdened my spirit because it's not at all a true image of love. I was very disappointed by the vulgarity. #bookreview #whitefur #bookworm #bookish

RoseBlood | A. G. Howard

It's not often that I give books 5- star ratings, but I loved this retelling of The Phantom is the Opera! It was so perfect, it read like a continuation of the original story. If you haven't read the original, that's okay. The author gives you enough background details for the story to make sense. It put me in the mood to read more macabre.

One Of Us Is Lying | Karen McManus

I devoured One of Us is Lying in 3 days. To briefly sum it up: it's The Breakfast Club, but one of them is murdered. I enjoyed this read because it was a nice change from my usual fantasy novels. Side note: It looking so good on my rocking chair, I had to take a pic.

Caine touches on themes of censorship, terrorism, war, rebellion, betrayal and others that are relevant to today. Her ability to tie together the past and present proves the age old saying that history often repeats itself.

Empire of Storms | Sarah J Maas
post image

I enjoy the TOG series; it's not my favorite, but I like it. The beginnings are so engaging, and the ends leave off on a cliffhanger leaving me wanting more. My problem is the mid-book slump. It takes me forever to get through these novels! Thoughts? #bookblurb #empireofstorm #sarahjmaas #bookish #bookworm

And We're Off | Dana Schwartz

This was a quick and fun summer read.
I enjoyed the YA novel metaphors and Harry Potter references. I can relate to Nora's insecurities. It wrapped up quickly, but I didn't mind because sometimes it's nice to finish a book in 2 days.

Finding Audrey | Sophie Kinsella
post image

I respect that more books are coming out to bring awareness to mental illness. It's definitely a topic that needs to be taken more seriously. Asleep is a retelling of sleeping beauty set in an asylum. The writing is spooky and creepy. Finding Audrey is another good one that touches on anxiety. Can you name any more books with a character with a mental illness?

A Million Junes | Emily Henry
post image
Pickpick

I stayed up late the other night finishing A Million Junes, and I absolutely loved it. You've probably seen this cover floating around the bookernet so I'll tell you a little bit about it. It's a YA retelling of Romeo and Juliet with a ghost story mixed in. Other than the dialogue being a bit cheesy, I was really hooked on the plot and couldn't wait for the mystery to be solved. I give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“There was a clatter as the basilisk fangs cascaded out of Hermione's arms. Running at Ron, she flung them around his neck and kissed him full on the mouth. Ron threw away the fangs and broomstick he was holding and responded with such enthusiasm that he lifted Hermione off her feet." #squeals #icanteven #bookish #bookstagram #bookquote #harrypotter #harrypotterandthedeathlyhallows

I don't often give books ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️, but I absolutely loved this moving book! This was the first time in any WWII history or historical- fiction book I read about the testing Nazi doctor performed on the prisoners. It was so gruesome but introduced a new perspective that was missing for me. If you read Lilac Girls, I would love to hear your thoughts! #bookish #bookreview #bookblogger #books #kindle #currentlyreading #bookworm #bookdragon
