-review- Heir of Fire by Sarah J. Maas (ToG #3)

Image
- goodreads - (Spoiler Alert if you haven't read the previous books in the series) -He made her want to laugh and sing and shake the world with her voice.- She will not be afraid. Even after all this time, she says it. My heart breaking over and over didn't matter. My eyes tearing up didn't matter. My hands shaking didn't matter. Bawling my eyes out subsequently didn't matter. My rage didn't matter. All the magic, the badassery, the shifting, the endless training, the constant betrayals, the secret stolen glances, the discoveries, the incredible and absolute darkness that was the self loathing of Celaena. T-T -Abraxos was still lying on his belly, sniffing the wildflowers, when she returned with the dead goat in her arms, its blood now iced on her cloak and tunic. He'd devoured the goat in two bites, then gone back to enjoying the wildflowers. At least he'd eaten.- Nothing mattered because I am done. I am so done with thi

-Cover Reveal- Immortalis: The Hunter by Leah Lozano

Image
Happy Wednesday! Hope you're reading awesome books that you won't be able to get over from hahahaha -insert evil laugh- Today I'm super excited to be sharing with you the cover for Immortalis by Leah Lozano so without further ado... About The Book “I n truth, I was tired of waiting for him to manifest from my visions. I was tired of waiting for my life to begin, for something to happen. Anything! Now, I fear that which I have stirred …” For twenty-one-year-old Lina, there was no denying what she was. Not human. Or the life she would soon leave behind, destined for a planet. Not earth. To claim her power. Please, not blooming flowers! The Fates, it would seem, had a twisted sense of humor. As mortal and immortal worlds collide, one thing is clear; nothing about Lina is conforming to the natural order of things. From the day she was born she felt it, their eyes on her. Be it from the heavens or earthbound, she was being watched. And now, she could hear them.

-review- Crown Of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas (ToG #2)

Image
- goodreads - (Spoiler Alert if you haven't read the previous books/novellas.) I just want to point out that these are some of my favorite book covers EVER. -But death was her curse and her gift, and death had been her good friend these long, long years.- Thank y'all who convinced me to read the novellas. Now I can cry more whenever Sam is mentioned. Like how he's mentioned, referred to or even quoted in this one. Wow you guys! I feel like I've just gotten off an insane roller coaster that took me into highs and lows and dips and soars and just overall spin my head every which way and I loved every minute of it. I discovered one thing though and it's that the author loves short romances. In book one we had one that ended abruptly and this one wasn't the exception. -Ashryver Eyes The fairest eyes, from legends old Of brightest blue, ringed with gold.- I like it, I just worry for my heart and all the feels it goes through whenever

-thoughts- The Assassin's Blade by Sarah J. Maas (ToG #0.1 - #0.5)

Image
- goodreads - As someone pointed it out to me before I even had this collection of novellas. This is the heartbreak absolutely NO ONE asked for. But here it is nonetheless and I'm guilty AF for being a sucker for heartbreak. Edited to add the fact that I cried like a baby when... things happened. End of edit* -"But why? Why can't you let it go?" He grabbed her shoulders and shook her.- Sam is the one worth it the last star I gave this book, it was One star for Sam One star for the beautiful cover Three stars for the stories I hated a lot and I loved a lot and in between I managed not only to think the worst of Celaena but also the best of her. I'm glad I read these even if I struggled a lot because of the most stupidest decisions ever made in the history of decisions to make hahaha. -"My name is Celaena Sardothien," she whispered, " and I will not be afraid. "- 5= ~sobs hard~too good to be true!

-review- Three Dark Crowns by Kendare Blake

Image
- goodreads - -He wonders if this is the queen who everyone in Rolanth sees. If all the rumors have been untrue... If that is so, then she is his and his alone.- This is the first time I've ever started and finished a book like this.  Not because I don't read Fantasy often, alas I didn't until just recently, but it has more to do with the way it's written. The voice. The English. The way the characters "speak" and "think."  I'm not fond of old English though trust me this isn't old English. I'm just not good with certain ways that English was spoken a few decades ago. And that's how I felt this book was written and that's why I struggled at the beginning.  But Guys GUYS I'm so glad I pushed through.  And then... it didn't take me long... not long at all, to love it. To understand it and to crave it!  I've only ever read one other book by Kendare Blake but it is so very different from this you'

-thoughts, banned book- The Wild by K. Webster

Image
- goodreads - FYI It was an adventure trying to get this book. I love reading, I love reading sexy times and I rarely shy away from dark romances with rough sexy times. What I rarely read are books that stretch the limits of my comfort zone until I am not even sure those limits are within sight. The Wild by K. Webster was one of those books. It was good it was bad and it was a complete guilty pleasure of a read if only because I'd already been a fan of the author's writing long before I found out about this book, my awesome friend April from the blog Rad Babes Read  brought it to my attention and well... the rest is history. - Nipping and sucking. Desperation in a kiss.- This book isn't for everyone, I got that I respected that just as I hoped people would respect it but apparently that was asking for too much. But worry not, it's good in a twisted kind of way that'll leave you asking yourself if you've morals at all at some point, while pant

-shop spotlight/thoughts- Little Inklings Designs

Image
Hi my beautiful people/booknerds! I'm here with another bookish shop spotlight/thoughts. (You can check my previous one HERE .) And it is none other than the very first shop from which I made my very first bookmark purchase thanks to my bookstagram account . Without further ado... I present you... Little Inklings Designs is run by Megan and she's from the awesome north, meaning Canada. She does all her designs by HAND T_T either digital or paper and they are absolutely gorgeous! Ever since that first purchase I've grown and grown my collection of her designs. She's constantly coming up with new and new content and she's always updating us through her instagram account, she's amazing at customer service, which you know, being international, is one of the first things I notice when making a purchase from a foreign country. The processing times for the shop are really fast and they usually take around 3 weeks to get from Canada to El Salvador, whi

-thoughts- Bought & Paid For by Jordan Marie/Jenika Snow

- goodreads - I'm sorry... what? What did I just read? I was really looking forward to this one if only because I loved the title and the cover drew me in from the beginning. I am really sad to say that it just was not good, at all. I liked what they tried to do with the story but the writing T_________T I felt I was reading someone's secret fantasy from a journal entry. Both main characters are grown adults and I was often left wondering if that was indeed the case because their voices rang more like young adults at their best... new teenagers at the least. I know it's fiction and all but I just couldn't wrap my mind around the story, it just seemed so far fetched and... Guys I was left speechless, really. The older guy, the young girl, the secret desires both have had for each other... All the elements of an awesome sexy fantasy were there but the writing and voices just didn't deliver -It was refreshing to have a woman who did not know how to
