-review- Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo

- goodreads - "I like to have powerful enemies. Makes me feel important." I waited over a month for this book to finally get to me after reading the first one, I don't know what made me wait so long to read the first one but all that's in the past and I'm so very very happy I'm almost done with the trilogy. It starts exactly where Shadow and Bone left off. Alina and Mal hiding and running but... Their luck runs out pretty soon, too soon for my liking. I felt like this book was a complete build-up for the third and final book, things just started happening one after the other, more power more secrets, more lies and more surprises, they all were the perfect combination for painful but extremely enjoyable heartbreak. I'm a goner for whenever something bad or sad happens in a book because then, I get to enjoy the happy parts that much more. "I feel you slipping away from me, and I don't know how to stop it." The Darkling, as always,...

-Review- On Dublin Street by Samantha Young

Goodreads Shortie: Jocelyn Butler has been hiding from her past for years. But all her secrets are about to be laid bare… My thoughts? Oh wow... It's been months... literally since I read this book... I kept struggling with this review... Came up empty when I wanted to put into words what I really thought about it... I mean. It's not everyday that a book moves you when you haven't gone through the situation it describes and still... Argh... To author Samantha Young, I swear I've tried.... I've sat on my bed countless nights trying to do your book justice but it just wouldn't come... But now I'm determined to simply say... I FREAKING LOVED IT!! It was amazing and loving and so very well written! I instantly connected to the main character, Jocelyn, who wouldn't like her? She felt so real, so very centered and down to earth. I didn't have any problem believing this could be a friend of mine. A lot of books have that problem, ...

-review- Easy by Tammara Webber

I tried my best, beautiful people.  And I hope that I made a good-enough review.  Forgive me if I didn't. My lips were sensitive and tingly. Touching them brought rushes of gooey memories-his hands, and what they'd done in concert with his mouth-the crazy-making kisses, and the few words he'd spoken.  You're so beautiful. Note-This is a matureYA book. I wish I could tell you exactly how this book will make you feel. I wish I had words beautiful enough to describe it. I wish I knew more english words than I know now to detail just how the writing of the story got to me. I wish I could warn you of the many times my heart felt squeezed so tight I thought it might explode. I wish I had written down all my favorite passages but that would mean writing down the whole book again. I wish I could sit here and pretend to be able to sell you the book I think every single person out there needs to have. I wish upon the stars that I could be wherever Tammar...

-my reading thoughts- Divergent by Veronica Roth

Image
Have you ever been hyped so bad about a book...wait for it more than seemed possible and then devour it in less than 2 days...only to be left feeling...weird? That's how it was and still is for me and my reading of Divergent. I was trying so hard to get it and when I finally did I waited almost a month to open it and start reading... I devoured every single page...but at the end... When I sat down to try and rearrange my thoughts into some kind of review, it just did't came. I loved the book but hated the book... Getting it? Yeap, me neither. So let me just tell you, briefly, my thoughts. Everyone grows up wanting to fit in, wondering what someone will do when adult... This world that Veronica created takes that away from you but even more. The factions... the divisions, the families, everything sounded so creepy yet it kind of held some kind of truth in between them. And I really would like to just go on and on about the amazing writing, the completely lovable...
