Unravelling

[spacer] Elizabeth Norris, “I fucking love you”! If I had to describe this book in only one word I would say “incredible”, but if I had more words to play around I would say something along these lines: “Mind-blowing, heartbreaking with a pinch of humor and an action/suspense overdose… all in the best possible way. Keep … Read more

The Odds Were Ever In My Favor

From book to screen   So I’ve seen The Hunger Games movie this weekend, and I am pleased to tell you that I did like it. It is not like the best movie ever, and I don’t know if the impact was similar for the people that haven’t read the book yet, still the producers … Read more

My Boyfriend’s Girl (#1) Jasmine

Jasmine (from Amplified by Tara Kelly)   So… I’ve made a promise to someone that I’ll write a ‘book girlfriend’ kind of article (for the reading male population to enjoy as well), and this is me keeping my promise.

Dreaming after Midnight (#9) Sean

Sean (from Amplified by Tara Kelly)   Amplified is one of my favourite books. It is amazingly funny and the characters are lovely and smart and (so very) witty. Every time I read it, I laugh until my face hurts and I fall for the romance (and the friendships created in it) all over again. “Welcome to … Read more

Wander Dust

When I read a book I usually take some notes, mark some quotes, you know – the usual things you do when you want to remember what the story was about. It’s helpful if it takes you long to write the review and you read other books in the meantime. The problem is that I … Read more

Secrets of the Time Society (novella)

Wow, this tiny book turned my timeless world right upside down! You know, while reading Timeless there were some turnarounds that left me breathless and I didn’t imagine a book of only 26 pages or so to be able to make me feel like that again. I was wrong and I loved the twist in … Read more

Born Wicked

This is bit of a magical story about witches in a very difficult time – when they are hunted down, when they have to hide, to pretend to be ‘normal’ and not draw any attention to them. It’s a story about a young girl that needs to protect herself and her sisters from all the … Read more

Dreaming after Midnight (#8) Froi

Froi (from Froi Of The Exiles by Melina Marchetta) “I’ll come and find you wherever you are. I’ll not stop breathing until I do.” [separator] What do we know about him?

The Catastrophic History of You & Me

I love books that make me feel more than one emotion.. I love it when my chest feels tight and achey for a moment, and then it gets all sweet and giggly; when I want to cry and smile at the same time; when I feel like I can’t get enough from the story and … Read more

Pandemonium

What a wonderful surprise! You know, there is nothing better in this world than being wrong when something good is about to happen. Usually I keep things simple when it comes to reading: I like the first book in the series, then I continue reading the rest of them; I don’t like the first book, … Read more

Amplified

There are books with deep messages that touch the bottom of my heart, but there are also books like this one, with simple meanings but with a great power to make me laugh, to make me dream, to make me hope, to fill my sleepless nights…

First look at: Wild Cards

Fullriders – a new captivating series in the making:
Simone Elkeles (best known for her Perfect Chemistry Trilogy) revealed a few weeks ago that she has a new young adult series called ‘Fullriders’ coming out in the near future.
The series got its name because it’s about high school football players who seem to have gotten a “full ride” in life…

The Other Life

“Danger is not the only thing that makes your heart beat faster” Such a lovely read! There were so many things I loved about this story that I don’t even know with what to start. The Title: There is this big gap between this life and the other life. This life is one of hiding, … Read more

Froi of the Exiles

Dear Melina, Keep breaking my heart, because you definitely know the best way to do it. The first story I’ve been told was a fairytale. I don’t remember which one was it, but that shouldn’t be a problem, as they all begin with “once upon a time”, get to the point where the handsome white-horse-riding … Read more

The amazing art of book-cut sculpture

Books are wonderful..   Books are absolutely magical, and all the magic can be found between the lines of the never-ending stories, between those thin layers of paper, in between words that reach the very bottom of your soul, and also the very deep of your heart, bringing back memories, bringing out emotions, giving new meanings … Read more

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Happy Valentine’s day!

To be honest I am not very fond of this holiday, and I prefere to have my own special love-day, but I enjoy it nevertheless and I wish you all to be loved and love with all your heart, and to enjoy every second of being in love.

This year I didn’t find the time to read a beautiful romance for Valentine’s, but if you need some reading inspiration I can suggest you some sweet romances I’ve read over the time…

Wings of the Wicked

Oh… and now what? As you’ve seen from my Angelfire review, there is something about this story that really grabbed me. Not sure if it is the angel involvement, or the monster killing action set, but I liked the series and I can’t wait for the next book to come out.Except for the teenage drama … Read more

Just Listen

[spacer] This book kept me thinking… [cite]How many times did you answer to the question “how are you” with just “fine”, or “I’m ok”? How many times did you feel like your heart was breaking but you couldn’t make it right? How many of your dark, inside secrets have made your heart break a little … Read more

Fated

I wanted to love this book, I really did. You know how I liked ‘Hunting Lila’ and you might know that I like a lot Alderson’s style – so don’t get me wrong, the characters are enjoyable and there is a lot of humor in this story, but for some reason it was just not … Read more

Bittersweet

There is something so sweet about falling in love for the first time.
About all those insecurities you might have, about not knowing what to choose, what is best for you.
About wanting to risk it all but fearing that you will lose everything, about dreaming with your eyes wide open, about waiting for a …

Partials

Oh, wait while I find my mouth under my bed where it dropped. ..So, are you ready for this wonderful journey into the future? Here we go… It all came down to a war – the worst of them all. It was not between humans, but between them and the Partials. Because what if robots … Read more

Flat-Out Love

I really need to read this book again! This story took me completely by surprise. It seemed like a really light read, but in fact it is the complete opposite. I guess that these days I’m really easy to trick, but I love surprises, and I love how this story turned out. Think about it … Read more

Deadly Cool

Hartley is definitely one of my favorite characters. I love her ‘excellent sarcastic wit’, I like how she is so stubborn in trying to find the real killer and save her ex-boyfriend from jail, even though she does it mostly because she thinks it’s her right (and only hers) to kick his ass and she … Read more
