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- Holiday / Seasonal Freebie- Memorable characters of 2020

  Hi! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana  @thatartsyreadergirl . This meme was born out of a love of lists and bringing the book blogging community together. Every week, Jana will post a topic, and we book bloggers will post a reply to the topic. This week, it's a seasonal / winter freebie. I kind of went rogue in a way. In the winter you see the end of the year best-of lists, and that's exactly what I did with this post. You will find subsections to indicate the genre each book is in.  YA Contemporary 1- Pepper from Tweet Cute by Emma Lord Tweet Cute was a novel I read in September. I fell hard for the major character, Pepper. She was so sweet, and she wanted so much to lice her own life.  As a bonus, she baked, and I seem to really love characters who bake. Pepper made this list because she wanted to live her own life for her, and I really admire that quality in a person. 2- Sophie from 10 Blind Dates by Ashley Elston I’m in the middle of this book right now, but I ...

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.  ...

Top Ten Tuesday - Top Ten Historical

Welcome back to Top Ten Tuesday! Our Host is Jana @thatartsyreadergirl . Every week, readers gather and respond to the topic of  the week. This week, we are talking about Top Ten Books in our favorite genre. I love The Classics, YA of all kinds minus Horror and Mystery, and Historical. I choose Historical as I talk about Classics and YA a lot on this blog. These are in no order, just as they came to me. 1- Romanov  by Nadine Brandes I read this Anastasia retelling in nineteen days when it came out. I loved this book so much! About half the novel was the Romanov’s in exile, and their life in a house where they couldn’t do that much. As the story progresses, we see that Nastya is a spell master, so this is how Fantasy is sprinkled in with the Historical Fiction to tell a new story. I loved all aspects of this novel, even the ones that were sad, and almost caused me to throw this book across the room. I will review this book later on this month. I recommend this for any...
