Hello my fellow reader and welcome to… MY FIRST BOOK REVIEW IN MONTHS! *cries* Yeah, I’m sorry that book reviews have been so severely lacking but my reading slump has been extreme and now I have finally finished a book— that book being The Rose Society by Marie Lu! The Rose Society was a book that I went into with high expectation. Even thou gh it had been a year since I read the first one I remembered enjoying it and looked forward to enjoying the second book. Did it live up to expectations… well it was a good one-time read. *shrugs* I have to give The Rose Society credit for actually making me interesting reading again. It basically said, ‘he remember these characters you liked from this The Young Elites? They’re in this book! Come read it.’ And I read it and enjoyed it. Characters that I had grown to love from The Young Elites were in the novel again and I enjoyed reading from their point of view again. It was also nice to read Marie Lu’s writing style again since she ...

So at the moment I’m at in a bit of a reading slump…. (*cough* a lot of a reading slump). I keep starting books but I just can’t seem to stick with anything… so this post is about EVERY BOOK THAT I’VE STARTED BUT NOT FINISHED IN THE PAST FEW WEEKS! I keep trying to read this book and it’s just not working out. Granted the same thing happened when I first tried reading The Knife of Never Letting Go (that book took me two years to actually finish), but I eventually got into it. I hope that one day I can finish The Ask and the Answer ! After finishing Cinder I immediately went to read Scarlet but then the reading slump began. I had school starting and even though I liked the book I just never had time to read. I hope to get back to it soon. I was super excited for Patrick Ness’s new book that came out this October but as soon as I bought it I had no time to read it. I found parts of it great and parts kind of confusing, but overall I think I’ll get back to it even...

Wow it has been a while since my last reading update so here we are! Ever since I first heard about the idea for this book I knew I had to pick it up! I have started it and so far it is interesting. I am a fan of Patrick Ness’s Chaos Walking Trilogy so I am excited to see what he does with this idea! I am reading this book for my English class but, surprisingly, I’m enjoying it so far! The writing style s very elegant and descriptive so I’m excited to continue reading. This is what I will be reading as soon as I finish The Rest of Us Just Live Here . I have read a few pages already and so far it seems like it will be dealing a lot with the repercussions from the first one and take a lot of time to develop the characters— needless to say, I’m excited! Have you read any of the books mentioned above? What were your thoughts on them? Keep Reading… Meagan!

Hello my fellow reader! This week I ordered two new books from Amazon that I’ve been looking forward to for a while now and they have finally come in the mail! I’ve been waiting for this book since I read The Young Elites and it is finally here! I am excites to see where the story goes after the last book and you’ll probably be hearing more about this book soon! I didn’t actually know that this book was coming out until I went to BookCon and heard about it, but now I’m super excited. The way Patrick Ness described it sounded so interesting and different and I can’t wait to see how much I enjoy the book. Have you read any of the books mentioned here? What did you think of them? Keep Reading… BYE!

Fans of The Diviners have been waiting for a while for this sequel! The Diviners was a great supernatural thriller so I can’t wait to see how this book measures up! I’m excited for this book after having read the Shadow and Bone series. I enjoyed Leigh Bardugo’s writing and this world that she created so I’m excited for this new book! I read A Thousand Pieces of You back when it came out and it was good! I’ve been excited for the sequel since then and I can’t wait to get this beautiful cover on my shelf! After Marie Lu’s amazing Legend trilogy and her even better Young Elites, I am extremely excited for her next book!
