“There is no better distraction in this world than losing oneself in books for awhile.”
Author: Cassandra Clare
Series: The Last Hours
Some Families: Herondale, Carstairs, Lightwood, Fairchild, Blackthorn
There is so much to say, and I better give it to you straight and without delay, this is mostly my thoughts while reading, immediately after, or right in the middle of things, so pardon my scattered ramblings, but it had to be like this.

Twilight
Book: Twilight Saga
Author: Stephenie Meyer
Some Spoilers
I will write some things about Twilight because it was the saga I loved for a while before I knew what true vampires could really be like (The Vampire Diaries). I am not going criticize either Stephenie Meyer or her work, she has potential, but she is also a new author well newer than L.J Smith or Anne Rice.

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”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.
Author: Diana Gabaldon
I should probably start off with Voyager, and I will try to look pass the things that I did not enjoy.
I read it fast and not just because it was the first book of the Outlander series which was completely new to me since Outlander and Dragonfly in Amber I already knew what would happen because of the TV Show, no, this one I read really fast because of the parts where Claire was on her own, those blurred.
Spoilers ahead if you have not read these 2 books, kindly stop if you have not read.
Continue reading “Outlander Series: (Voyager + Drums of Autumn)”I will first give you, the unedited review, this is what I felt and thought when I first finished the book. Be wary, it contains so many spoilers you will have to jump to the end of it, where I said it is good and nothing else, if you do not want to know what happens at the end of the book. You have been warned.
I had to do it… these quotes still live rent-free in my mind
Hello, dearies! 📘
Welcome to a fun-loving fest of quotes, or 5 quotes that I randomly chose from books.
I was thinking about all the wonderful quotes from books that I love and decided to share a couple (alright, not a couple but 5) with you lads and lasses, simply to make your day and see if we share the same tastes.
Honestly we may love many quotes from many books, so choosing only 5 is kind of difficult but if you want more, you can always go to my Pinterest or Instagram and find more there, I might not post daily but there are some quotes there that I think you will want to share. Oh! Also my Tumblr.

I’ll try to make this quick…
I tend to say that but considering that I have to talk about Jem, Will and Tessa that might not be entirely true this time… oh! And Gideon as well as Gabriel and Cecily but the latter two will not be that much in my ramblings.
What to say that has not been said before? I know, lots of things! Because never in my wildest dreams (cue in Taylor Swift’s song in the background if you want) would have I imagined that Cassandra could surprise me or make me love even more characters from the Shadow World, Jem is almost certainly perfect, Tess can be a little bit annoying but by book 3 you wanted to be like her or have her luck, that was when you were not crying over the events in that book, as for Will Herondale… what can I say? You might have thought he was just like Jace but in the end he really wasn’t, not entirely.
But that is enough for the overview, I will give you a bit of what I thought as I was reading Clockwork Prince and Clockwork Princess, since Clockwork Angel is pretty much done in that link you just overlooked. I do not think that there is much spoilers here but if you are like me and do not like to know a thing a book before reading it, then do not continue, just know this: They Are Great.

I should really wait until I finish all three books, which is what I was going to do before writing this. Oh! Well, I am doing it right now.
Have you read The Mortal Instruments? I hope you have, because they are so completely awesome, but this is about what happened before Clary, Jace, the Lightwoods, and Simon all got together to save the world.
The Mortal Instruments #6
Author: Cassandra Clare
Apparently, I didn’t write a post about the most amazing, awesome book in The Mortal Instruments Series.
Whoa, anyone would think I didn’t LOVE this book. Now you know, I did. It was great, I remember I would stay up late reading, I would wake up and read… think about it when I wasn’t reading it. Wish for Magnus to be on every freaking page but he wasn’t and that’s alright, Jace was or Izzy or Alec… I’m not a big fan of some but hey that doesn’t really matter, the best ones are still there.
