And if you don’t celebrate Thanksgiving, then I hope you had an amazing Thursday! So I wrote in my last post that I would review Warrior of the Light when I finished it, but that obviously didn’t happen. I finished reading the book and I…

October Wrap Up

I haven’t done a Wrap Up in forever, because I haven’t been reading much since school started. I didn’t read a whole lot this month, but I felt like doing one anyway. The first book I finished this month was All That She Can See by Carrie Hope Fletcher!! I posted a review about it, which you can read here, so I won’t talk too much about it. I’ve been wanting to read it for so long, so I’m happy…

The Stranger by Albert Camus Book Review

The Stranger by Albert Camus Book Review

This review probably won’t be too long because, well, the book isn’t very long. Also, Happy (early) Halloween everyone!!! I only picked up this book because a friend recommended it to me, so I really didn’t know what to expect. When I started reading, I was instantly curious because of how simple and direct the narration was…. but I still don’t really know how I feel about the book. It’s unlike…

All That She Can See & Winters’ Snow by Carrie Hope Fletcher Book Reviews

I’m so happy to announce that I have multiple reviews coming up soon! I’ve had more time to read these past few weeks, which has been wonderful! Anyway, without further ado, let’s begin the review! In my July Wrap Up, I mentioned that I’d be including a small review of Winters’ Snow, which is a novella from On The Other Side, Carrie’s first novel. I never posted a review for On The Other Side,…

A Wrinkle In Time by Madeleine L’Engle Book Review

July Wrap Up

This is a little late but, like I said in my my last post, these first two weeks of August have been hectic. The first book I read in July was A Court of Wings and Ruin by Sarah J. Maas! I know, you’re probably thinking that I was very, very late on that- I was. The last few weeks on school I had to read about 4 different books and I knew that if I started to read ACOWAR I would not do any of my…

YA Recommendations: For Fans of Throne of Glass [UPDATED]

[gideonseymours]

So here’s the truth—I love you. I love everything about you—the way you stick up for people even when it costs you. The way you keep trying to do the right thing even when you’re not exactly sure what the right thing is. I love how you put words together. You’re as skilled with words as any knife fighter with a blade. You can put an enemy down on his back, or you can raise people up so they find what’s best in themselves. You’ve changed my life. You’ve given me the words I need to become whatever I want. I love how you talk to lytlings. You don’t talk down to them. You respect them, and anybody can tell you’re actually interested in what they have to say. I love the way you ride a horse—how you stick there like an upland thistle, whooping like a Demonai. I love the way you throw back your head and stomp your feet when you dance. I love how you go after what you want—whether it’s kisses or a queendom. I love your skin, like copper dusted over with gold. And your eyes—they’re the color of a forest lake shaded by evergreens. One of the secret places that only the Demonai know about. I love the scent of you—when you’ve been out in the fresh air, and that perfume you put behind your ears sometimes. Believe it or not, I even love your road smell—of sweat and horses and leather and wool. I want to breathe you in for the rest of my life.
