Warrior of the Wild by Tricia Levenseller ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ How do you kill a god? As her father's chosen heir, eighteen-year-old Rasmira has trained her whole life to become a warrior and lead her village. But when her coming-of-age trial is sabotaged and she fails the test, her father banishes her to the monster-filled wilderness with an impossible quest: To win back her honor, she must kill the oppressive god who claims tribute from the villages each year—or die trying.   ............................................................................................. “Each scar marks me as a survivor. A warrior of the wild.”   I'll be honest and let you know that this wasn't one of my anticipated reads for 2019, it was just available at my library so I requested it! The writing in this book was amazing and it was one of those books that painted a vivid scene in my head while reading it, which doesn't seem to happen very much in YA books now a days. ...

1. I have never read the Harry Potter series   I don't really have any need to read these books, there are so many amazing books that there that I'd rather read instead, no offence, but it's not just my cup of tea. 2. I watched The Hunger Games movie before I read the books. The story behind this is that I was just channel surfing on TV and The Hunger Games was on and I started watching it and got to around where Clove and Katniss meet near the end of the book, and then I had plans to go out, so I didn't get to see what happened, so I read the books, which I absolutely loved and introduced me to YA. 3. YA is all I'll read Right now, I have no need to read any other genres, I don't read middle grade and just do not like the writing for adult fiction, so YA my happy place. 4. The first John Green book I read was Turtles All The Way Down Last year, I decided to read as many books as I could and Turtles was a book available at my library...

Descendant of the Crane by Joan He ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Princess Hesina of Yan has always been eager to shirk the responsibilities of the crown, dreaming of an unremarkable life. But when her beloved father is found dead, she’s thrust into power, suddenly the queen of a surprisingly unstable kingdom. What’s more, Hesina believes that her father was murdered—and that the killer is someone close to her. Hesina’s court is packed full of dissemblers and deceivers eager to use the king’s death for political gain, each as plausibly guilty as the next. Her advisers would like her to blame the neighboring kingdom of Kendi’a, whose ruler has been mustering for war. Determined to find her father’s actual killer, Hesina does something desperate: she enlists the aid of a soothsayer—a treasonous act, punishable by death, since magic was outlawed centuries ago. Using the information provided by the sooth, and uncertain if she can trust her family, Hesina turns to Akira—a brilliant investigator who’s also...

March was pretty good month for books, I had a few amazing reads this past month and a few disappointing books. Descendant of the Crane by Joan He ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Sometimes you read a book, and you just know you'll never be able to put into words how much you loved that book? Well, Descendant of the Crane is most definitely one of those books. .................................................................................................................................................... On the Come Up by Angie Thomas ★ ★ ★ This book sort of felt like a letdown considering how much I was looking forward to it. It wasn't by any means a bad book, it just wasn't everything I was hoping for. .................................................................................................................................................... A Question of Holmes by Brittany Cavallaro ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This book was everything I was hoping for and ...

DNF'ing: When It's Time to DNF I'm definitely someone who has a hard time DNF'ing books. I feel like once I start a book, I have  to finish it, but I when I go to write my review and I rate the book two or one star, I ask myself why I read the book in the first place. This year, I finally decided to start DNF'ing books and even ARCs that I'm not enjoying, and it is just so freeing! So far this year, I've have not rated a single book one star, the lowest have been two stars, but I only read them because I was enjoying the story or I didn't like the writing. So now that I know the freedom of DNF'ing books, I want to tell other bookworms about DNF'ing. At what page should I stop reading? You can stop reading the book at any point! Not every book you pick up is going to be a five or four star read. Most people go around 100 pages before DNF'ing, but I feel like I'm committed at that point, so I usually go around 30 or 50 pag...

Evermore by Sara Holland ★ ★ I loved Everless and I was absolutely heartbroken by the cliffhanger and I have to say, I felt like this sequel was rushed. I did like Jules and Liam's relationship, but other then that it just fell short.   ................................................................................................................................................... Archenemies by Marissa Meyer ★ ★ ★ ★ This sequel was fast paced and I loved everything about it! It seemed to have everything Renegades was missing! I cannot wait for Supernova!   .................................................................................................................................................. The Belles by Dhonielle Clayton ★ ★ ★ ★ I had no idea what this book was about going in, but I read it within 2 hours and it was such a fun read! It definitely left me needing the next book!    ......................................
