    5 Game of Thrones related Books

    As we all know, Game of Thrones the TV show has ended, our watch has ended, the night came with its terrors, winter came and went in a puff, and the fire and blood of the last episodes left us with a huge hole, so to fill it up let us go around and see what else is out there about this world that held us captive for almost a decade only to be completely finished in a not so-great finale.

    Since we do not have the 6th Book to actually know what happens in A Song of Ice and Fire, then we turn to others to understand a bit more of it or to simply read something new, because there is always time for that. Here are 5 Books related to Game of Thrones.

  • Wuthering Heights

    Wuthering Heights

    Author: Emily Brontë

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Genres: Tragedy, Gothic fiction

    I read this one a long time ago, as in years ago! So I cannot really say that my memories of it are that specific though I will try to make it justice.

  • Dating Disasters of Emma Nash

    Dating Disasters of Emma Nash

    Author: Chloe Seager

    Genre: YA, Comedy

    This one was a gift, it came in one of those wonderful boxes that bring bookish goodies, sorry I cannot remember which box but when it first arrived, I said: who’s this chick? What is this book? And decided to leave it for later.

    I think it has been a year since that or nearly, and finally I picked up Emma and begun to read. She’s a bit nutty I will admit. Now, read this whole post with a British accent and you are good to go with the book. This is what happened.
    Caution, some things might be considered spoiler, you have been warned.

  • Queen of Air and Darkness

    Queen of Air and Darkness

    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.

    2009 Reads

    This was going to be all the books I was reading in 2009 but now let us say a decade or so ago. I cannot really remember what I had in my hands back then, I was actually shock when I realised that Twilight was a decade ago, but then I started to think back and tried to remember what I really was reading and could not actually recall, thought I will do my best to name some titles here.

  • The Darkest Star

    The Darkest Star

    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.

  • Fitzwillian Darcy, Gentleman

    Fitzwillian Darcy, Gentleman

    Author: Pamela Aidan
    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.

  • The Lunar Chronicles 2: Scarlet

    The Lunar Chronicles 2: Scarlet

    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.

  • 10 Young Adult Books to Add to Our Reading List

    10 Young Adult Books to Add to Our Reading List

    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.
