My favourites: an update
It's been a while since I post anything so why not start with my updated favourites? (I'll try not to repeat any books I may have recommended in any previous post)
-A Court Of Thorns And Roses, Sarah J. Maas.
Feyre, a human who lives in a world divided by humans and faeries is brought to Prythian where she is to face the faerie courts, magic and daily struggles as a human captive.
This one I feel pretty much every romance lover has read. The first pages in my experience were hell, I was bored out of my mind and dreaded every last word but just like that, it got good. The author gradually explains everything and you eventually get a grasp of a really interesting world that has you hooked up seriously: magic, luxury, love, plot-twists... and you've had it. You're now in love with the book and unable to put it down.
Now, I am going to shut up and not spoil anyone's experience but let me say this: if you liked the first book and are considering reading the second one, do it. Of course you know how the first one ends but just so you know that's just the start of the shitshow that is about to begin.
With this being said, in my heart there will always be a spot for ACOTAR.
-The Stolen Heir, Holly Black.
The sequel to The Folk Of The Air series. It tells the story of Wren, the wayward, runaway queen of the Court of Teeth and Oak, the crown prince and brother of the queen of Elfhame, Jude.
I am absolutely and profoundly infatuated by the universe of the Folk Of The Air, so to dive into it again brings back a sense of rightness that I can't really explain.
It's a very addicting book that will have you looking for scraps of the tiniest bit of romance and when you do find some, they're worth it.
As a young person, I have enjoyed this book since it has a very refreshing feel to it throughout most of the work (yes, eventhough there's tougher and more brutal scenes in it)
Even though The Folk Of The Air isn't very spicy per se, I am looking forward to see how everything plays out in the second and last book of the duology, I just can't get enough of Oak, Wren, Tiernan, everyone!
-All The Young Dudes, MsKingBean89.
We all know the story of Harry Potter, the boy who lived, but what about the marauders' life? It narrates the story of the quartet with a bit of a homosexual twist.
Personally, I have been a fan of the Harry Potter universe since I first watched the films, and if you're one too you know the amount of fanfiction that there is, so after days and days of looking for a good and well-written fan-fic I remembered I had downloaded atyd. And I do not regret it.
You're reintroduced to the magical world all over, you're feeling nostalgic, our main character is Remus, you get to see everyone's evolution, it gives you a broader concept of the older charaters in the series... Not to mention Padfoot and Moony have something going on...
Despite me only being halfway through the book, every time I go online to read it (it's free!) I want to discover more and more of the marauderers' untold stories.
-Crave, Tracy Wolff.
Grace, a girl who's just lost both her parents is set to live in an elite boarding school in Alaska, of which her uncle is the headmaster. Despite her efforts to fit in it, they just don't seem to work and she is left feeling left out, but then she meets Jaxon, a mysterious boy with a devastating past.
This is one of the other books I haven't finished, and if by now you haven't noticed I LOVE romance books, even better if they're enemies-to-lovers. Even though this one isn't enemies-to-lovers it's veeeery similar to the one and only Twilight: it has vampires, werewolves (if I remember correctly) and even more types of magical creatures!
I read most of this book this summer and to be honest it's really entertaining, but it's also a little bit cliché... New girl, starts dating the hottest most powerful and dark in the school, she's basically perfect, odd forces want her dead... The typical y/n syndrome.
Although I'm not sure if I'd call it one of my favourite books, it's in the "would recommend section" so, if someone wants to read something, you know what to look for.
The list has come to an end. It is very short, I know, but with all my schoolwork and extra-curriculars I have no time to read, and if I do, I tend to go for fanfics.
Hasta la vista, beibe.
