Hello, dearies! ❤️
This one is late by a lot, though not so much considering that this is still ongoing. Alright, it is a Manga as you might have guessed by the name and it is still going, and it is completely amazing.
I cannot be sure that any of you read Manga but if you do then you would love Namaikizakari, do not let the element of sports throw you off, it is actually pretty cool and it is not the only thing the story is about. I cannot really remember how I got to it but I know that after the first two chapters I was completely hooked and Naruse is so great.

Author: Cassandra Clare
The Dark Artifices #3
Genre: YA, Supernatural, Fantasy, Romance, Drama, Crying, Throwing the book across the room
This is not going to be easy, and I do not think it is going to be really short.
Last night I finished Queen of Air and Darkness (QOAAD from now on), if I had read it in December when it came out it would have been the Best Read of 2018, alas, it was not, it is the Best Read of 2019 so far, and unless The Red Scrolls of Magic is something incredibly amazing and even more epic, it will stay the best book, because Cassie Clare did it again, she went a step forward, she makes you want to be inside the book, inside the Shadow World, be part of a family, be part of a world that you only know through words on paper, it was awesome.
Origin Series
Author: Jennifer Armentrout
Genres: YA. Fantasy. Romance. Totally F*ing Awesome
This is not going to be easy. Also this is going to be so incredibly full of my really inner thoughts. Get ready.
And then I was done. Wow. The last chapter was pretty normal, but before that everything was really heated. I will try to keep the spoilers to a minimum because I want you guys to read it without knowing the main events. However since the first chapters I have been stopping and writing little notes about the moments that got to me.

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.

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.

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.
Author: Suzanne Collins
Genres: Dystopia. Drama. Young Adult. Romance (or something like it).
Books: The Hunger Games. Catching Fire. Mockingjay.
Well it took me about 5 to 6 years to read them but here I am, and I am done with all of them, I think I broke my own personal record with this one, I read all three books in two weeks give or take. Maybe you are saying that is not fast but between work and life, it is fast.
I really did not have any intention of reading them anytime soon but for some reason, re-watching The Hunger Games movies made me want to read, I picked them up and started with the first line that I already knew, and then got past it, the weird first-person narrative. And then I couldn’t stop, I knew the whole story but it was an easy read, and it was good to read something as if for the second time; since I really like the movies I didn’t know how I would feel with the books.
I cannot really say which I like best, so I will leave it at: they are both good.
