The Book Forums

We all have those authors that no matter what their next book is, we know we are going to pick it up. Whether it is because of that author’s track record or only one series that you love, you trust the author that much! For me, I will automatically pick up anything that Cassandra Clare or Victoria Schwab release. Cassandra Clare I’ve been a Cassandra Clare fan ever since I first read The Mortal Instruments . I enjoyed it, but The Infernal Devices truly made her one of my favorite authors. Most authors get worse when they keep revisiting a series or idea, but no, not Clare. Her stories only get better with the more she writes. I cannot wait to see where she takes the Shadowhunter universe next! Victoria Schwab I became a fan of Victoria Schwab back when I read The Archived and LOVED it! From then I read Vicious , The Unbound , A Darker Shade of Magic , and A Gathering of Shadows . Victoria Schwab always crafts brilliant stories and intriguing characters. At this point...

Hey guys, welcome to Top 5 Wednesday! If you don’t know what Top 5 Wednesday is then click HERE , if not stay! This week’s topic is Top 5 books that we read in one sitting (or for me, books that I remember not wanting to put down). Most of these books started the same way for me, with me being reluctant to start a new book (ironic, I know). But eventually I did start these books and I got hooked immediately then I couldn’t put the books down! (And yes I know that I listed six books) Have you read any of the books mentioned above? What did you think of them? Keep Reading… Meagan!

Hey guys welcome to Under-Hyped Book of The Week, Week 9... This week I'm here to talk about… The Archived by Victoria Schwab! Imagine a place where the dead rest on shelves like books. Each body has a story to tell, a life seen in pictures only Librarians can read. The dead are called Histories, and the vast realm in which they rest is the Archive. Da first brought Mackenzie Bishop here four years ago, when she was twelve years old, frightened but determined to prove herself. Now Da is dead, and Mac has grown into what he once was: a ruthless Keeper, tasked with stopping often violent Histories from waking up and getting out. Because of her job, she lies to the people she loves, and she knows fear for what it is: a useful tool for staying alive. Being a Keeper isn't just dangerous—it's a constant reminder of those Mac has lost, Da's death was hard enough, but now that her little brother is gone too, Mac starts to wonder about the boundary between living...

Hey guys its Meagan and today I’m here to review the newest installment in The Archived series by Victoria Schwab, The Unbound . ***There will be spoilers for The Archived under this point if you haven’t read it, go read it!***         Imagine a place where the dead rest on shelves like books. Each body has a story to tell, a life seen in pictures that only Librarians can read. The dead are called Histories, and the vast realm in which they rest is the Archive. Last summer, Mackenzie Bishop, a Keeper tasked with stopping violent Histories from escaping the Archive, almost lost her life to one. Now, as she starts her junior year at Hyde School, she’s struggling to get her life back. But moving on isn’t easy — not when her dreams are haunted by what happened. She knows the past is past, knows it cannot hurt her, but it feels so real, and when her nightmares begin to creep into her waking hours, she starts to wonder if she’s really safe. Mea...

Hey guys it’s Meagan and today I’m going to talk about my top 10 favorite Heroes and Heroines... 10.      Clary Fray (The Mortal Instruments) I really like Clary because there are times when she is strong and kick butt. But sometimes I also feel like she just complains a lot. But other than that she is awesome! 9.        Issabelle Lightwood (The Mortal Instruments) I really like Izzy she's strong, funny, knows how to fight, and not annoying! She does what she does for a reason and I understand that reason! 8.         Tessa Gray (The Infernal Devices) I love Tessa! She's so strong, kick butt, and DOESNT complain! Plus she's got Will Herondale! 7.         Lev (Unwind) When I first read Unwind I hated Lev but then as the series went on I realized how grateful I am that he's in the series! He's so smart and mature for his age... I h...

Hey guys it’s Meagan and it’s that time of the year… TOP 10 BOOKS OF 2014!!! YAY *APPLAUSE* I tried to keep these books to books that came out in 2014 (except for one book, but I didn’t hear about it until 2014). And for those who don’t know, I’m revealing these two books at a time. So today I will reveal my 2 and 1 choices! YAY! So sit back and enjoy! My number 2 pick is  The Unbound  by Victoria Schwab This is the sequel to one of my all-time favorite books,  The Archived , so I had high expectations for it. And it well surpassed my expectations!  The Unbound  did everything that a good sequel should do, it had all the things I loved from the first book (characters, an amazing plot, and amazing writing style) and it did them in a new and interesting way. This book also reminded me why I love Victoria Schwab’s books so much (her amazing writing style). Everyone should read this series so they can understand why I love  The Archived  so mu...
