-review- Wintersong by S. Jae-Jones

- goodreads - "Play it for me," he said. Play for me, my dear, and I will hear it. No matter where you go. No matter where I am. I swear it. I swear it..." You know those times when there's a tiny little voice warning you from not doing things? Like when you want to exercise but it whispers that there's chocolate cake in the fridge so... priorities? Or when you want to go to a certain place but that voice makes an appearance and you end up not going only to find out later that some accident happened there? Well ladies and gentlemen. I bow to that little voice. I should've listened and heeded its advice for it is with great sorrow that I write this and tell you that my heart is no more. Why? Because I didn't listen to that little voice when it told me NOT to finish this book until I had the sequel. And here I am broken and crying but writing nonetheless because if there's one thing I should do is warn you in case that little voice doesn...

-Cover Reveal- Immortalis: The Hunter by Leah Lozano

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- Three Dark Crowns by Kendare Blake

- 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'...

-review- The Gathering Dark (Shadow & Bone) by Leigh Bardugo

- Goodreads - A moment later the boy whispered, "I don't think you're ugly." "Shhhh!" the girl hissed. But hidden by the deep shadows of the cupboard, she smiled. Two absolutely awesome books in a row, first ACOTAR and now this one. Surely, my life is on the right path lol. I had forgotten how amazingly creative most of YA books are. I first started this book a year ago or so, but I thought it was some kind of history/set in the past-book that would be incredibly hard to read... well it wasn't and it was just too easy. Leigh Bardugo's (name love) word art had the power to completely transport me to another world in a matter of seconds. I stopped being on my living room's couch drinking some lukewarm water and instead I was sailing through the Fold or I was in a really hot place watching Alina try to practice and draw her power to no avail, or I was freezing beside Mal when he took first watch after tracking Alina down. I lov...
