Things We Know by Heart

[spacer] ♥ Another story that steals my breath away… [spacer] I have tears in my eyes, so forgive me if my words might blur together. What you’re reading now is, after all, a puddle of feelings threatening to either choke or warm my heart. I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again, Jessi has this incredible … Read more

Pulled Under

[spacer] Sweet & cute & funny, a perfect summer read! [spacer] A while ago I read and loved Sixteenth Summer, a wonderful story about first loves and new beginnings. So when I got the chance to read another book from the same author, with a similar storyline, I didn’t think twice about it, I just dived right … Read more

UnDivided

There are very few books so powerful that can follow you into your dreams. That leave an imprint on your soul. That are so dreadful and horrifying, but in the same time so beautiful and completely mesmerising …

UnSouled

It’s official, this is one of the best dystopian story I’ve ever had the honour to read!

To be this connected with the characters, this emotionally invested in the story, this awestruck with the world building and the amazing, mind-blowing plot.. It feels like a gift, there’s no better feeling in the reading world …

The Geography of You and Me

You might have noticed by now that I love emotional stories. You know, those books that make me smile until my face hurts, but that can also make my soul ache just a little bit. This is in fact what I like about reading, in general – because it takes me through so many emotions … Read more

This Shattered World

THIS SHATTERED WOLRD does not give you time to think about it, you just dive into it and stop breathing until you reach the last page. But trust me, you will feel like you’ve reached that one way too soon.
I, for one, could never have enough of this story …

The Body Electric

[spacer] I am at a loss for words [spacer] Because this book really took my breath away, but I need to tell you more… I need to tell you how beautifully written this story is, what an amazingly vivid world Beth has created, how incredible and fleshed out the characters are, how mind-blowing and breathtaking the plot … Read more

One moment

Oh, just look at that cover, just how beautiful it is! That was the first thing that grabbed my attention, and then there was the book description – I love stories about memory loss, about characters that need to pick up the remaining pieces of their lives and remember how it was when all pieces … Read more

The Young Elites

[spacer] Almost there! [spacer] This could have been so easily a 5 stars read for me. It is indeed a very beautiful story. The writing is as amazing as Marie Lu can write, the world is strongly built, the vivid images created by the powers of the Elites are marvellous, the characters are unique and fleshed-out at … Read more

The Archived

[spacer] Wow, it will probably haunt me even in my dreams. [spacer] I finished reading it and all I could think of was: how amazingly-beautiful the writing was, how imaginative the world, how full of emotion the main character.. Absolutely wonderful! Incredibly touching! “The Archived” tells a story of terrible loss – not necessary by the … Read more

The Last Time We Say Goodbye

[spacer] Heartbreakingly beautiful! [spacer] Do you know the feeling you get while and after you hold your breath for long? How time seems to stop for a while, how your heart beats faster and faster, how sharp everything becomes after the fuzziness washes over? This is how this book feels like. And it is wonderful, … Read more

Come Back to You

To be honest, I don’t know how to review this book. It was nothing like I thought it would be, nothing like it seemed in the beginning. And I can’t actually talk much about it in fear of spoiling it. Anyways, I’ll start with the things I liked the best: And the thing is that Liesel Schmidt really … Read more

Tin Lily

[spacer] Such a beautiful book! [spacer] The wonderful prose, the emotional story, the great characters.. It touched my heart, really. This book is absolutely incredible and I feel honoured to have it on my ‘favourite’ shelf. The story is dark, but also hopeful, it is a triller but also with a psychological touch, it talks … Read more

Home is Where You Are

[spacer] I wanna hug this book! [spacer] This story has found a soft spot in my heart and it simply decided to call it ‘home’. I love it when it happens, when I don’t expect much but I fall hard for a story, when the characters are so adorable that I want to take them … Read more

The Book of Ivy

A classical dystopian story with a spin-off, and simply as beautiful as the cover! ^_^ And not that the short-haired girl with the white dress and knife in hand is actually a truthful representation of Ivy, if I come to think about it, but the overall image still manages to fit the story perfectly. I … Read more

“Scar of the Bamboo Leaf” Sneak Peek

Hi again!   I hope that you are all fine, enjoying the beginning of Autumn and in a mood for finding about new books. I am still recovering after the holidays (yes, to much relaxation gets into the bloodstream and it’s hard to come back to normal chaos). Anyways, I have the pleasure to present … Read more

When

[spacer] Oh, what a feast for my senses! [spacer] My verdict: Incredible, addictive and absolutely well done (in terms of writing style, characters, plot, suspense, even that cute ending)! “When” (formerly called “Death Date”) is an amazing paranormal story full of mystery and turnarounds. It has a gripping plot, great character development.. and for some reason I simply … Read more

10 Little Pieces of Me

This is getting a bit personal…   There are not only words, but entire worlds, trapped inside the books we read. We need to set them all free, to make our world a better place with them in it. Some books I read only for ‘the fun of it’, some others touch my heart deeply … Read more

Summer Break Top Ten

2014 Top Ten   I will still be away for a little while enjoying the sun, the Mediterranean sea and all varieties of tapas; and I feel a bit bad to having left you there hanging with 2 negative reviews, though I promise to come back with some great recommendations for you. So, to lighten the … Read more

Take Me On

[spacer] I think I might’ve outgrown these stories [spacer] … Or maybe it’s just this family from both ‘Crash into You‘ and ‘Take me On’ that I can’t relate with no matter what. It’s all so random and inconsistent with these people. In fact with everybody in this book. – The thing with the father … Read more

More Than Music

I am not a writer; I have no idea how does that feel like or how hard it might be. But I am a reader and as a reader I do have expectations. When I read a book I want to ‘live’ in it for a while, I want to ‘be’ the main character through … Read more

Dark Triumph

[spacer] Now we’re talking! [spacer]  This is what an assassin’s story should look like, this is what I expected from the assassin-nuns concept I’ve been sold the first time around 😀 DARK TRIUMPH is one of the best sequels out there, as it takes the story further and so it develops into something wonderful, something … Read more

The Art of Lainey

[spacer] Beautiful, adorable, unexpectedly cute [spacer] The Art of Lainey has the right amount of fluff matching the perfect amount of emotion. I read this book quite a while ago, but didn’t get the chance to fully review it, which is actually a shame because it is such an amazingly fun story and it deserves … Read more

Our (not so) secret blogging life

Do we hide our book blogs?   I wrote this article on tumblr today, but then I felt the need to share it with everyone here as well. Sorry about the duplicate content – though it might not be a problem given the fact that I post my reviews or partial reviews on GoodReads too, … Read more
