The Cruel Prince by Holly Black

Read from -1/1-1/17

Rating- 5/5 stars

I loved this book so much. I know that I was late to the game here, but I am such a fan of this trilogy now. I love the characters and the world in this book. Review coming by Monday, but this was my favorite book of the month.

All I Know Now by Carrie Hope Fletcher

Read from- 12/26-1/18

Rating 5/5stars

I didn't know much about the author going into this book. I knew she was a theatre actress on the west end and that she did vlogging on the side. I loved this book because it was part self-help and advice, and part memoir. I loved the style and tone of this book. I will not be reviewing this book because I still have not found a way to review a non-fiction book.

A Map of Days by Ransom Riggs

Read from-1/1-1/31

Rating - 4.5 stars

Now, the 4.5-star rating might seem like I didn't enjoy this book. I can tell you I enjoyed this book but it was not a five-star read. I had one major issue with the book and that was the fact that it was two plots were going on in the same book. The two plots were not connected, and it drove me nuts. I want to review this book so I can give my opinions and analyze the thoughts I have it for you. Expect the review sometime within the next week.

What If It's Us by Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera

36341204

Read from-1/1-1/31

Rating- 5/5 stars

This was a close second for my favorite book of the month. This was such a cute YA romance and I was in love with it. I loved the characters and the setting of this book. The characters were flawed but that was what drew me into the story. As a theatre nerd, I loved the little references to theatre kids in this book. I will do a review of this within the next week as well.

Top Ten Tuesday- characters that remind me of myself

Welcome back to Top Ten Tuesday! This is a weekly meme where readers discuss ten or whatever number you would like to have based on a prompt. Our host is Jana at  thatartsyreadergirl . Our topic this week is Characters Like Myself. I am going to take a two words that each character has in in my opinion,  and discuss how that relates to me  as well. 1- Cather Avery from Fangirl Writer- At her core, Cath is a writer, and she loves her stories. I am a writer of both Fan Fiction and original stories like Cath so this was an automatic in for this. Both of us love our work and we tend to through ourselves whole hardheartedly into our work. Sisters- I might have mentioned this on the blog before but I have a younger sister and we’re only roughly 18 months a part. Cath and her twin sister Wren are polar  opposites and this is me and my sister. My younger sister is an extrovert and into science. I on the other hand,  am an introverted creative bookworm.  2- Miriam Kendrick from C

Top Ten Tuesday-- Favorite Places to read

  Hi! Welcome back to Top Ten Tuesday. Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme Jana hosts @ thatartsyreadergirl This weekly meme was born out of a love of lists, and bringing the book blogging community together. Each Week, Jana will post a prompt, and we readers will post our list as a reply. We also have the option of going rogue, and posting a topic of our own choosing or a past topic. This week out topic is favorite places to read.   1- At my desk   I read a lot in my room and at my desk. I’m trying to find another method because I tend to stop reading and look at a notification that distracts me. I enjoy reading at my desk because it’s easy.  2- In bed I need to be wide awake to read in bed, but I might start doing it more. Reading in bed is less distracting for me, but it still can make me tired. 3- In the car Some weeks I spend a lot of time in the car. When I’m in the the car I’ll try to read a chapter or two, but it sends up being more like 3-4 depending on how long the car ride is.
