One book down, twenty-four to go! WOOP! Every year, Blue Sargent stands next to her clairvoyant mother as the soon-to-be dead walk past. Blue herself never sees them—not until this year, when a boy emerges from the dark and speaks directly to her. His name is Gansey, and Blue soon discovers that he is a rich student at Aglionby, the local private school. Blue has a policy of staying away from Aglionby boys. Known as Raven Boys, they can only mean trouble. But Gansey is different. He has it all—family money, good looks, devoted friends—but he’s looking for much more. He is on a quest that has encompassed three other Raven Boys: Adam, the scholarship student who resents all the privilege around him; Ronan, the fierce soul who ranges from anger to despair; and Noah, the taciturn watcher of the four, who notices many things but says very little. For as long as she can remember, Blue has been told by her psychic family that she will kill her true love. She never thought this wo...

If you haven’t noticed, I’ve been rereading a lot of books lately, so why don’t we continue that trend with a book that I’ve now read three times— The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin.   Mara Dyer believes life can't get any stranger than waking up in a hospital with no memory of how she got there. It can. She believes there must be more to the accident she can't remember that killed her friends and left her strangely unharmed. There is. She doesn't believe that after everything she's been through, she can fall in love. She's wrong. – goodreads.com summary “Thinking something does not make it true. Wanting something does not make it real.” For anyone who doesn’t know, I am currently hosting a read along for the entire Mara Dyer trilogy on my Instagram. This is now the third time that I’ve read The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer and the reason I keep coming back to it is the characters. I have become attached to these characters over t...

Hey guys welcome to Book Beginnings a meme hosted by Rose CityReader where you post the first sentence of your current read and your thoughts on that sentence. “It was a humid night in August, and the river trickled past us as if most of the water had disintegrated during the previous months. It skimmed over the rocks, and I hesitated to add to the collection by tossing pebbles across the already waning surface. The darkness was enough.” These first few sentences don’t tell much about the story but they show off Shannon Thompson’s amazing and descriptive writing style. Her writing style is so descriptive and it just makes me excited to get into the story! As of now, I’m almost done with Seconds before Sunrise so expect a review of that soon! Keep Reading… Meagan!
