The Museum of Us by Tara Wilson Redd ★ Sadie loves her rocker boyfriend and best friend Lucie, but no one comes close to her hero, George, her secret. When something goes wrong and Sadie is taken to the hospital calling out for George, her hidden life might exposed.  That description is gives you a completely different impression of what you think the book might be about. It was not anything like I was expecting. I thought it would be a best friend or even another world she might be a part of, but it was not. I felt like this author tried so hard to make this book heart-rending, but in the process of doing that, it shows that she was trying extremely hard to make you feel for these characters. I think if every chapter wasn't trying so hard, it would've been easier to like or even feel sorry for these characters. Henry is Sadie's boyfriend and Lucie is her best friend, both of whom we have no backstory or know anything about them, yet we're supposed to ...

The Last Namsara by Kristen Ciccarelli ★ ★ ★ I felt like the book kept going on and on,  I started to lose interest half way through the book. I did like the dragons, who doesn't like dragons? I just wish this book had ended before some major parts happened, leaving me waiting for the next book. ............................................................................................................................................ All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven ★ ★ ★ ★ This book destroyed me. T hese two had problems with mental illness, and they both struggled with them in their own way, which broke my heart.  ............................................................................................................................................ Oh My Goth by Gena Showalter ★ I won a Goodreads Giveaway for this book and I have to say, this book is extremely cliche. I feel like there was no actual meaning to...

What you do you think you'll read next? .................................................................................................................................................... What I'm currently reading  I have read a few pages of  Dread Nation  and I'm just hoping it doesn't disappoint me like most of my anticipated books have lately. .................................................................................................................................................... What I recently finished These books  Fawkes  and  The Museum of Us , were disappointing and sadly, I only gave them two stars. Read my full review for Fawkes here! ..............................................................

Fawkes by Nadine Brandes ★ ★ I picked this book up thinking it was a historical fiction book, but I found out immediately that it was also a fantasy book, which I discovered out did not mix very well in this book. This book is loosely based off Guy Fawkes who attempted to kill King James, only in our book there's the stone plague and magical masks that people wear to give them power. We find out that our main character, Thomas, did not receive his mask from his father, which is the only way to receive a mask, so Thomas goes out to find his father. Thomas's father agrees to give him a mask if he helps with his plot to kill the king, Thomas says 'sure, why not?' which irritated me so much. Why on earth would you commit to doing something you had no need or want to do only to receive the mask? Oh, I forgot to mention there's a love interest and a really bland bully named Henry who add nothing to the story. Honestly, I have to say that this book let me d...

Ash Princess by Laura Sebastia n ★ ★ ★ ★ Theodosia was 6 when her country was invaded and her mother, was murdered before her eyes. Theo was crowned Ash Princess, a title given to hear to bear her shame. Theodosia has now been a prisoner in her own palace for 10 year. She's endured abuse and ridicule of the Kaiser.

Theo comes up a plan to turn the Kaiser's son against him, creating a rift between the father and son. For years the Ash Princess has seen her land pillaged and her people enslaved, that all ends here. This book was a really interesting reading a new take on royal fiction, of course in every book there are going to be things you did and didn't like. Soren was a strange character, I felt...

Muse of Nightmares by Laini Taylor I read  Strange the Dreamer  and I absolutely loved it! That cliffhanger had me so upset! I also love the covers and appreciate it when covers match up. .................................................................................................................................................... Wildcard by Marie Lu I recently read  Warcross  and again was upset with the cliffhanger! I do not like this cover though, it looks like a house of mirrors at the circus. .................................................................................................................................................... Bridge of Clay by Markus Zusak I've heard such good things about this book! I haven't read any of Zusak's other books, but they all have such good reviews! This cover is so pretty, especially the pastel colors in the background. ...........................................................

What you do you think you'll read next? .................................................................................................................................................... What I'm currently reading I just started Fawkes and I had absolutely no clue it was historical AND fantasy fiction. So far, I'm a little confused, but I'm thinking it's going to get better.  .................................................................................................................................................... What I recently finished I finished  The Darkest Legacy  a few days ago, and I'm so sad that it's over! I enjoyed having a book in the series from Zu's POV, which we have never had before.
