Top Seven Tuesday- Bookish Places I want to visit!

Hello! Welcome back to another Top Ten Tuesday. This weekly discussion is hosted by  thatartsyreadergirl . This week's question is places in books that I would love to visit real or fictional. These are in no order, just as they come to me. I will link to each book on Goodreads so you all can easily find them. 1- The Circus- The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern  link to the book on Goodreads I love a good circus aesthetic and the fact that the circus in the book is so atmospheric and fantastical I love it.   If I were to visit this place, I would try and see the circus more than once to see how it changes from place to place. 2-  The Night Court- A Court of Thorns and Roses series by Sarah J Maas  Click here for the first book on Goodreads . Of all the courts in this  fantasy series, this is the one that I would like to visit the most. This is another area that I love the aesthetic of  and I would love to hang out with the inner circle. ...

Top Ten Tuesday

Hello! Welcome back to Top Ten Tuesdays. This is a weekly question posted  by  thatartsyreadergirl . The question this week is Top Ten Books I loved with fewer than 2,000 ratings on Good Reads. I have expanded this into reviews as posted next to the book.  I will talk about my feelings for each book. I used Good Reads for the information. 1- After Anatevka by Alexandra Silber 326 ratings   ·    91 reviews  Published- July 4th, 2017 I loved this book so much! I loved Hodel and Perchik so much and I loved their story and how much they loved each other. This book discusses  serious topics so I feel the reader should know that going in. This is a sequel inspired by Fiddler on the Roof. I think everyone who is a fan of Historical Fiction should read this book as it is a little off the beaten path. The writing and the story is all kinds of fantastic. 2-  All I Know Now by Carrie Hope Fletcher  860 reviews Published- Se...

Top Ten Tuesday- Bookish couples!

Welcome back! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by  thatartsyreadergirl . This week is relationships in books and let me tell you I wanted to keep this to ten because otherwise I could go on forever. I love action in books, but I'm a fan of romance to keep me engaged as well. This list is in no order, just as the couples came to me. 1- Jo and Laurie - Little Women Jo and Laurie are similar in personality, so it was almost like these two would be together. While two people who are alike in many ways might get boring to read about, these two have enough differences that keep the reader wanting more. I love these two nerds and I was hoping they would end up together.  2- Ana and D09 -Heart of Iron Are these two considered a couple? I will consider them a couple for the sake of this. These two have a different kind of relationship because D09 is a Robot and they're a mission to save him. I love these two because they grew up together on a spaceship for ten years. You can tell ho...

Book Tag Thursday!

Hello! I've been a little busy this week, and I didn't have much for the Top Ten Tuesday prompt,  so I just deiced to skip it. This is the Ultimate Book Tag. Questions found Here .   1. Do you get sick while reading in the car? Nope 2. Which author’s writing style is completely unique to you and why? This question is phrased oddly, but Holly Black.

I have only read one Harry Potter book. 1- Vampires 2- Romance for teens 3- Alice Cullen 4. Do you carry a book bag? If so, what is it in (besides books…)? Sometimes. Phone, wallet, makeup.  5.

(Ex. I read Twilight b...

The Cruel Prince by Holly Black (Review)

Hello everyone! As I said earlier this year, I want to review more books in 2019. Here is the first of 15 reviews I would like to get up this year. The Cruel Prince (Folk of the Air # 1) by Holly Black Published: January 2, 2018, by Little Brown Book for Young Readers Edition: USA Paperback Page Count: 370 Read from: January 1-17 2019 Goodreads Synopsis Of course I want to be like them. They’re beautiful as blades forged in some divine fire. They will live forever. And Cardan is even more beautiful than the rest. I hate him more than all the others. I hate him so much that sometimes when I look at him, I can hardly breathe. Jude was seven when her parents were murdered and she and her two sisters were stolen away to live in the treacherous High Court of Faerie. Ten years later, Jude wants nothing more than to belong there, despite her mortality. But many of the fey despise humans. Especially Prince Cardan, the youngest and wickedest son of the High King....

February TBR!

Hello! I wanted to take time tonight to talk about the books on my TBR for February. I will discuss the challenges and naming the Facebook groups if you would like to join as well. Summaries from Goodreads.  Images are also from Goodreads.  The Wicked King by Holly Black (Hardcover) Publication Date: January 8,2019 On page 88/336. This is a continuation from January. You must be strong enough to strike and strike and strike again without tiring. The first lesson is to make yourself strong. After the jaw-dropping revelation that Oak is the heir to Faerie, Jude must keep her younger brother safe. To do so, she has bound the wicked king, Cardan, to her, and made herself the power behind the throne. Navigating the constantly shifting political alliances of Faerie would be difficult enough if Cardan were easy to control. But he does everything in his power to humiliate and undermine her even as his fascination with her remains undiminished. When it becomes al...
