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.
Continue reading “Fitzwillian Darcy, Gentleman”“I lied to you about a lot of things….but I meant every apology.”
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”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.
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.
‘Seven years ago, on the eve of her wedding, Lady Jessica Sheffield witnessed a scene so scandalous she could not erase it from her memory. Shocked, yet strangely titillated, she nevertheless walked down the aisle into a life serene yet unremarkable. But what she kept hidden fueled wildly imaginative and very illicit dreams. . .’
Author: Sylvia Day
Well, if you are into romance and historical, and as a plus adult fiction than you most definitely will absolutely love what goes down with Lady Jessica and the rather rakish Mr. Alistair Caulfield
Alright, let me be honest with this one… Sylvia Day has an excellent imagination and the few books I have read of her have been really great, she does has a lot of books under her name and reading them all in less than a month would be viable… if only the to-read list with many amazing authors and promising titles was not as long as it is.
Continue reading “Seven Years to Sin (Review… sort of)”Alright, I did not see that coming…
Now, spoiler ahead lads and lasses so beware!
Really! Spoiler from the books, I’m serious! You have been warned.
For real, since We all fans of the books know what happened Then I think it is time we let go of the books for real, Izzy is a serious if hot woman now, Alec is Alec thanks the Angel, Simon is already a vampire kind of fast but sure, no beef with that.
Jace, well I must admit that It happened, Dominic Sherwood has won me over, he might not be Jace All the time but the little moments truly make him irresistible and I cannot fight it anymore. As for Kat, she does a nice enough Clary, and now that she is so bold as to kiss Jace, if you have not watched the episode then I’m sorry for the spoiler, it took me by surprise really, first I was like whaaat??? And then, yeah is fine.
Author: Shana Abe
Let us begin with this, the book is not for everyone. That said, I loved it!
How many times do I say that about a book? Quite often, I know, but if you know me then you know I mostly write here about the books I enjoyed.
Intimate Enemies was difficult for me to really start reading, I had it on my phone for some time actually, and I had read the first page I think, first line and was like, eh, maybe not, even though it was Shana’s and I love how she writes, one of my favourite authors, in case you didn’t figure that one out due to the extensive quotes I have all around from her books, and the fact that most of my reviews are about books by her.
I strayed from the path there, sorry. Back to IE, it has a certain uniqueness to it; the book is set years ago, as in 1170’s more or less, and by the title you can guess that this two clans are not really friendly, until Arion and Lauren are old enough to know they have a thing for each other. Are you planning on reading the book? Don’t worry there is not much spoiler here.
I don’t normally do this, and it isn’t because this is the greatest movie I have seen in my life but I wanted to share it… And also it isn’t just because Jamie Blackley is in it, which was why I saw the movie I admit but the more I watched, the more I felt like sharing a bit about And While We Were Here, 2012 film.
It stars: Kate Bosworth, Jamie Blackley, Iddo Goldberg.
I just finished watching this movie, today: I rather not say when I saw the movie… I hope to post this soon enough.
That said, it caught me, it called to me and I could feel the inner struggle of this woman, Jane (Kate Bosworth), it isn’t because she is married and enters an affair with a younger man, I think it was more about the fact she was a writer struggling with inspiration and a way of finishing a book… and I wanted to see what else happened in her life.
