Wish To Be Reading... #3 (YA)

Image
Another Friday, another wishful read. YA Edition! Today I would love to be able to reread a favorite book of mine. One that got to me in so many ways, I was a completely different person when I finished reading it. It was one of the very first contemporary books I read (Second only to, If I Stay by Gayle Forman) and wow, simply wow. I really wish more people knew about this book but for the time being I'll just wish I could be reading... ~~~~~ Goodreads - Amazon  - My Review ***Marc said he heard the dark song when he creeped houses. The song the predator's heart sings when it hears the heart of the prey. I heard it now. Marc said it had always been in me. Lurking. Waiting for me to hear.*** ~~~~~ I loved this book, hope I get to read it again sometime soon. Until next time my beautiful people <3 -Alba

-Review- Unravel Me by Tahereh Mafi

Image
Goodreads Shortie: In this exhilarating sequel to Shatter Me, Juliette has to make life-changing decisions between what she wants and what she thinks is right. Decisions that might involve choosing between her heart—and Adam's life. I have kind of went off track with my book reviewing these past 2 months, I haven't been able to write a single word as to what I've thought of the masterpieces I've read but I'm trying here. My Thoughts? I think the worst part is knowing how beautiful this book is and not having enough words in my brain to describe it. I thought I loved Shatter Me and, in a way, I loved and loved and loved it. It was so ME. It was definitely a ME book. But Unravel Me? I don't think life can get any better than this book. This book had all I wanted it to have, was all I wanted it to be, and inspired in me all the feelings I wanted it to inspire AND more. The characters, again, were relatable, lovable AND hate-able as well. Because...

-Book Blast, Giveaway- The Forever Gate by Isaac Hooke

Image
THE FOREVER GATE originally started life as a 21,000 word experimental science fiction novella. In the first two weeks of its release, that novella sold 1,000 copies without any promotion whatsoever. What began as an experiment turned out to be something of a cult hit. Isaac Hooke decided to expand upon the concept presented in the novella, and the serial was born. Each volume consistently shot to the top of the Amazon short-story best-seller list. Soon, book reviewers who ordinarily don’t read indie works gave it rave reviews. People wrote fan fiction for it. On March 20, 2013, it won the Indie Book of the Day award. The serial quite literally developed a life of its own. ABOUT THE FOREVER GATE: 3740 A.D. The ice age has immobilized the world. Colossal walls seal off the cities from the uninhabitable Outside. Humanlike entities called “gols” run society, and force the humans to wear collars that block the innate powers humankind has evolved.  What one man will do t...
