These Broken Stars by Amie Kaufman My rating: 4 of 5 stars “I know a thousand different smiles, each with its own nuanced shade of meaning, but I don't know how to reach the few feet away to touch this person next to me. I don't know how to talk to him. Not when it's real.” This was one of those delightful, yet...
The Winner's Curse by Marie Rutkoski My rating: 4 of 5 stars “Survival isn't wrong. You can sell your honor in small ways, so long as you guard yourself. you can pour a glass of wine like it's meant to be poured, and watch a man drink, and plot your revenge.” I should probably admit that I was slightly sceptical of this one...
The Thousandth Floor by Katharine McGee My rating: 4 of 5 stars "Winner's curse," [...] "Where the victor gets exactly what he wants, only to find that it isn't quite as he expected." Alright, hear me out, when I first came across The Thousandth Floor I didn’t think much of it. I liked the cover and though I was considering adding it to...
I still haven’t figured out how time is passing so fast, but alas, here we are, and November pretty much flew away! Which means it’s time for a wrap-up. Somehow surprisingly I hadn’t realized just how many books I finished last month, I guess I just wasn’t as concerned with finishing all I wanted to read like back in October, but even then,...
Forest of a Thousand Lanterns by Julie C. Dao My rating: 4 of 5 stars "She knew her own worth. She would seize her destiny with all the strenght and spirit within her, and bend them all to her will: every man kneeling and every woman overshadowed." This was amazing, I literally don't think I have words to describe just how much I...
Bunheads by Sophie Flack My rating: 4 of 5 stars "The company is a collection of one hundred very different people, from all over the world, but we all believe in the power and importance of art. That's what binds us, keeps us together, through the effort and the intensity of the competition." If there’s something you should know about me, it’s that...
Wonder Woman: Warbringer by Leigh Bardugo My rating: 3 of 5 stars She hated hearing her sisters' names, her mother's name, on his lips. Diana raised a brow. "A wise warrior learns from her mistakes." She adjusted her stance. "And you're forgetting who taught me to fight.” I'm not quite sure where to start, I guess I should first let you know that...
I know, we're almost halfway across November, but I really wanted to make this Wrap-Up so here we are anyway. October was a very good month for me actually, not just on reading terms but overall. However the theme here is books, of course and so of books I'm going to talk. For some unkown reason I managed to finish ten books last...
The Dead House by Dawn Kurtagich My rating: 3 of 5 stars “I've learned, in my tragic little life, that memories are like water. Not solid, like some people think. Once something happens, it isn't set it stone. It can change. You can make yourself believe anything if you lie to yourself enough.” The pretty cover gets me again! I must admit I...
The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan My rating: 5 of 5 stars “I'd love to tell you I had some deep revelation on my way down, that I came to terms with my own mortality, laughed in the face of death, etcetera. The truth? My only thought was: Aaaaggghhhhh!” I literally don't know where to start, you know how there are some books...
Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn My rating: 4 of 5 stars “We weren’t ourselves when we fell in love, and when we became ourselves – surprise! – we were poison. We complete each other in the nastiest, ugliest possible way.” I really don't know if there's anything I can say about this book that hasn't been said before, but for the sake of...
El príncipe de la niebla by Carlos Ruiz Zafón My rating: 3 of 5 stars “He lost himself in the words and images conjured in his mind and for a while forgot ... He found himself flying among stars and planets ...” I first discovered this book back when I was... twelve? This was when I had first encountered the joys of reading...
Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare My rating: 4 of 5 stars **This review contains spoilers** "Marry me," he said. "Marry me, Tess. Marry me and be called Tessa Herondale. Or be Tessa Gray, or be whatever you wish to call yourself, but marry me and stay with me and never leave me, for I cannot bear another day of my life to go...
Cruel Beauty by Rosamund Hodge My rating: 5 of 5 stars “I knew it was insane to be happy, to feel this desperate exultation at his words. But I felt like I had been waiting all my life to hear them. I had been waiting, all my life, for someone undeceived to love me.” I don't know why I let so much time...
It's that time of the year again, the time watch Hocus Pocus and eat candy and of course, read spooky books. This year I've decided to participate on Lauren's Halloween Read-A-Thon which will be running from October 10th to 31st and hopefully, enjoy some scary reads. The Prince of Mist / Carlos Ruiz Zafón This is actually a re-read for me, I first came...
