👾Book Review👾 Afternoon loves! Here is my last photo prompt for #AvengerinJuly "Favorite apocalyptic read". . Title: The Host Author: Stephanie Meyer Genre: YA Scifi Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Human society has never been more peaceful, no more fighting wars, starvation, or disease and everyone is kind and respectful to one another. The catch is, they are no longer human. The future Earth has been taken over by "Souls", which are small insect-like alien beings that are placed inside a host human, and take over the mind and body. The only way you can tell physically tell that someone has been taken over by a Soul, is a small ring of reflective silver that can be seen around the pupil of the eye. The story follows Wanderer, a Soul who has been placed inside the body of a young girl, who is from a rebel group of humans that has been fighting and avoiding the Souls' reach. Unlike any host body that she has inhabited before, Wanderer soon learns that she is not alone in this body. The girl, Melanie, is still here and will do whatever she can to free herself and protect those she loves. I do not want to say much more about the story to avoid spoilers, but I can say that this is one of my all time favorite books. The characters you meet along the way, the romance, the fight for survival, all of it is so wonderfully woven together that you will not be able to put it down. I would also like to point out that this is one of those occasions where the book was done justice by the movie. It has a fantastic script and the cast does an amazing job bringing the characters to life. . #QOTD: Do you have a favorite apocalyptic read or story? . Challenges: - #RFABJuly20 - Day 27 - A thick book - this book is 620pgs - #Bookcoverlovejuly - Day - Favorite standalone - I really wish the had actually gotten to be a series. But maybe with Midnight Sun happening we might finally get a sequel to this as well. . Big thank you to @spoileralertqueen For taking this picture for me 😘 . . #bookstagram #thehost #stephaniemeyer #apocalyptic #yascifi (at Arbor Hills Nature Preserve) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDKJFXMg1sd/?igshid=1n1se9hsedumy

📚#Shelfiesunday📚 Good morning my loves! I have been severely negligent showing off my manga collection, so I am going to rectify that from this point on. . Magna Title: Yona of the Dawn / Akatsuki no Yona Mangaka: Mizuho Kusanagi Genre: Fantasy, Adventure, Romance (shoujo) Status: Ongoing (currently 32 volumes) Manga Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Art style: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Yona of the Dawn is currently my favorite manga series. The characters are so dynamic & well formed, with deep relationships that continue to be expanded on as the series goes on. The story is about young naive Princess Yona, who must flee the palace after a horrific event. The only person she can rely on is her bodyguard and childhood friend Hak, who is also known as Thunderbeast because of his ungodly strength & fighting prowess. He will do whatever it takes to protect his Princess, even if he almost dies in the process. In an effort to protect themselves, they are instructed to seek out the 4 Legendary Dragon Warriors. Each of these warriors has been blessed with a gift from the dragon gods: White Dragon possesses the dragons claw, Blue the all seeing dragon eyes, Green the leg of the dragon, and Yellow the impenetrable scales of a dragon. While they are fighting for survival, they end up unintentionally helping to fight the injustices happening in the country. As rumors of beast like warriors, a girl with hair like fire, a beautiful boy genius and a frightening black clad fighter start to make their way back to the palace, they must make a decision, do they take back the kingdom or stay on the run. This is an amazing story with fantasy, adventure, humor, politics, pirates, dragons & romance. So many great things to keep you enraptured (especially all of the gorgeous husbandos 😍). It is currently ongoing, but there is plenty available in English translation to get you started on the adventure. . #QOTD: With the amount of manga, anime & webcomics that I consume, would you like seeing reviews of things other than books on my page? .
