Trilogy: Fitzwilliam Darcy, Gentleman
Retelling? Yes. A Retelling of Pride and Prejudice
Hello, dearies! 📚
I hate doing this, but I have to because you must know what it is like to read it, to have expectations about a book or books and then be disappointed, because by the end of this trilogy I was very disappointed.
Let us begin.

Original Title: Cuando Me Veas
Author: Laura Gallego
Genres: YA, Drama, Fiction
I feel I must warn you that this one is full of Spoilers, as in I will immediately tell you what happened at the end of the book, because it got stuck in my mind and I could not stop replaying it. So if you want to read this book at some point, I do not suggest you read this, only know that it is good and I absolutely recommend it, since most (All) of Laura’s books that I have read in my life are so freaking good, that it is unbelievable. Like: Idhun’s Memories.
Now, let us begin with some details about the book, and once again, there are spoilers ahead.

Book Series: The Lunar Chronicles 2
Author: Marissa Meyer
Genres: Young-Adult, Futuristic, Re-telling, Sci-fi
Recommendation: 4.5 ⭐
Page count: 454 pages, Hardcover
I liked it, a lot, I think more than Cinder, however for letting us hanging at the beginning in such a way, we wanted more of Kai and Cinder, and instead were greeted by a stranger, for that and for not grasping my attention as I know it should have been grasped, because of it, 4.5 of 5.
Now my thoughts on the whole thing, you will be surprised by how much I liked it.
Continue reading “The Lunar Chronicles 2: Scarlet”So, this is my first time recommending so many books in one go, but I hope to make a couple of more like this one in the future. I have not read the books I am about to name but the titles called to me or the covers (mostly the covers), so I want to share them with all the readers out there looking for something new to add to their reading list.
I picked these 10 in the Young Adult section, but they might have some fantasy in them as well. Though I am thinking of making another list, as I mentioned, but just for the magical, fantastical books out there. Unless you want to know about other genres then let me know in the comments. You will find the link to each book at the end of every description. Alright, here we go.

Authors: Cassandra Clare, Sarah Ress Brennan, Maureen Johnson, Robin Wasserman
Genre: Short Stories, Fantasy, Young Adult
There are so many moments in this one, I will try to be organised and direct.
If you have not read any of the books in the Shadow World, specially The Mortal Instruments, then I seriously recommend that you first read those and then this one, and if you do not know what this one is about or who is the main character, then please stop reading this, because it contains spoilers for those who are new to the Shadowhunters world. That said, welcome and I hope you share my thoughts on this one.

Hello, dearies!
I read The Maze Runner a long time ago, so my memories might be a little too old. I read this one before the movie came out, just to make sure I had all the facts and that in it (the movie) everything was in order. It was accurate enough but many details were missing.
The Maze Runner book though, I remember I read like thirty percent of it and then stopped even though it is a dystopian book I did not feel like carrying on, but then picked it up after reading other books and saying: I have to finish it, I already started. And by the end of it, James convinced me.

Story by: J.K. Rowling, John Tiffany and Jack Thorne
This is not going to be easy. Stories from the past might blend in. Tales of old might be thrown in here. If you read it, you surely loved it, if you saw the play, you surely loved every part of it.
I cannot believe I did not write about this one before, my lack of Harry Potter reviews in the blog is by no means something you should worry about, nor something that should make you think that I do not love the books and movies because I do but the Wizarding World is simply to wide and amazing, and across all my networks, Pinterest specially, you can tell just how much it is that I love it after all this time. Let us begin.
Call me crazy if you must but I do not want to know what is going to happen in the book, what could happen, what Mark or Kit or Ty will be suffering or discovering, I rather wait for the book and find out then because then the excitement will be out of me, I will know that something is coming, that at some point what I read a month before will happen. I do not want that at all.
For the Book Review of Queen of Air and Darkness go here.

Author: Shana Abé
Genres: Fantasy. Drama. Dragons.
Book 3 in The Sweetest Dark Trilogy. And book 8 in the Drakon world. Probably the numbers will change if Shana decides to write extra books about this story, this wonderful world she has created cannot be described in mundane words, it is too wonderful and so full of magic but I will do my best to convince you.
If you have read my previous post about these series (The Sweetest Dark) then you might be prepared for what it is coming now. It is all about the magic, and the drakon; it might be short but it will be sincere. Here it is.
By Marissa Meyer
Genres: Fairytale, YA, Romance, Retelling
Cinder, book 1 in The Lunar Chronicles, a futuristic twist to the classic story of Cinderella.
This one will be short, since for the first time I do not have much to say. Marissa Meyer knew how to grab all those beloved characters from classic fairy tales that we know and love, and somehow mixed them into a world of more wonder with a few splashes of enough strangeness to keep you guessing. Let us begin.
