Some of you might be familiar with the Anomaly trilogy, but for people like me – that didn’t get the chance to read Krista’s story – the following post might give us a bit of an insight into her dystopian world.
Because Luminary is the second book in the series, I will start with the …
Today we have a special guest on the blog: Jessica Sankiewicz, author of “If Only We”, (a book that I can’t wait to read and share my thoughts with all of you). Let’s welcome her and find out more about second chances! [separator] What Inspired If Only We and How I Feel About Second Chances… … Read more
[spacer] One of my top favourite stories! [spacer] “These Broken Stars” reminds me why I love reading so much. How trilling it is to dive into a new story, a new world, new lives and new adventures that leave me breathless every time… Breathtaking – this story is indeed! I went into it blindly, not … Read more
My dear readers, [cite]Thanks for being here with me for another year… To laugh and cry a bit together, to giggle and dream of our naughty book-boys. Thanks for reading my ramblings and thanks for sharing your thoughts with me as well. I hope that on the other side of the internet you are having … Read more
Note: The review itself does not contain actual spoilers, but the feel of it and the graphics & media might spoil it for you quite a bit. Please don’t read it if you haven’t read the book yet. To say that this book is my favourite in the series is an understatement. It took my breath … Read more
*sigh* You know how much I love art (all different kinds of art), you know how hard I fall in love with some book covers, then imagine my disappointment when they get changed mid-series and I end up having them unpaired on my shelf! I admit, I am being such a drama queen (it’s … Read more
I need to give a very big thanks to Marissa for this wonderful story, as it made my ‘sick in bed’ day not only bearable, but quite great considering the situation… You really can’t imagine the immensity of addictiveness that comes with this story… I’d give a cyborg foot to have the next book now, LOL!
Do you believe in love at first.. read? From time to time I like to read a fairytale – about princes (on white horses) and princesses (in their beautiful castles) and lost slippers and magical kisses that lead to happy endings. But don’t be fooled, as this is no fairytale.. Still this is one of … Read more
Spread the news… I got this announcement in mailbox and I thought that maybe you will be interested to know about it too. This project is just at the beginning but, as readers love to keep in touch with authors to know more about their books, I think it might get to grow into … Read more
[spacer] This is one of the best conclusions to a series! [spacer] The very best. *wiping tears* Seriously! And it felt so ..right, you know? Not all butterflies and cheers and happiness, but right and real and beautiful and raw. The action, the suspense, the dramatic romance, the bittersweet ending… every moment and every page, every … Read more
After all this time, I am still unsure if I will be able to make justice to this book, as it’s so amazing I can barely put my feelings into words. I will try though, hopefully my mind has cleared a bit of all this awesomeness and I can write down something more than “wow”, … Read more
Divergent was one of my favourite dystopian stories. I did have a bit of a love-and-hate relationship with it, but overall I still enjoy reading it. Also, it’s true that my taste has changed over the time (I tend to be quite picky these days), but when I stared reading it Divergent had plenty … Read more
Angelfall has been one of my very favorite books in 2012 – the beautiful writing, the awesome characters and the engaging action made me ‘breathe in’ every word in the story and I couldn‘t put it down (not even for one second) until I reached the last page. The ending was dark and –now that … Read more
I know, I haven’t been online lately and I still owe you like a dozen reviews or so, but no worries I will get to them in no time. Until then, I wanted to entertain you with some cute book-related graphics I found that I love to pieces…
Some covers are perfect!… And just look at this one! “Gaby thought her life couldn’t get more complicated.
She’s almost used to the idea that she’s not the nineteen-year-old backpacker she thought she was. She can just about cope with being one of the Rephaim – a 140-year-old half-angel – whose memories have been stolen. She’s even coming to grips with the fact that Jude, the brother she’s mourned for a year, didn’t die at all.
But now Rafa—sexy, infuriating Rafa—is being held, and hurt, by Gatekeeper demons. And Gaby has to get the bitterly divided Rephaim to work together, or Rafa has no chance at all.
It’s a race against time – and history. And it may already be too late.”
Sometimes books come before life and sometimes life comes before books.
But you see, my heart is always here with you, even in the best moments of my life.
And because a picture is worth a thousand words…
[spacer] I am still a bit unsure about this one. [spacer] Dystopian stories can be a hit or a miss with me and this one falls somewhere in between. Overall, it was such a confusing story. The premise was really interesting and it started pretty well, but somehow (in all that confusion and the lack … Read more
This book scared me. There were so many quotes in it that seemed copy-pasted from my own life, like this was some sort of fan-fiction about myself. I saw myself in this girl even though we do different things, make bad decisions but in totally different scenarios.. really, it’s scary. Because you see, I still … Read more
In Night of Cake and Puppets, Taylor brings to life a night only hinted at in the Daughter of Smoke & Bone trilogy—the magical first date of fan-favorites Zuzana and Mik. Told in alternating perspectives, it’s the perfect love story for fans of the series and new readers alike…
You can’t imagine how long and desperately I’ve been waiting for this book. I liked Isaiah so much in the previous books and it broke my heart to see him suffer, so I was really-really eager to get my hands on his ‘happily ever after’ with the girl of his dreams.
… Turns out his dreams are my nightmares.
From the wonderful cover to the interesting description and then to the original story-line, Indelible is a beautifully different book for fans of fantasy and not only. What started for Joy as an usual night out (meant to make her forget a bit about her problems) ended in a journey beyond her imagination; a journey to … Read more
[spacer] Also known as “Better Than Perfect” [spacer] So, Elkeles is back and so is my enjoinment for her books. I had this fear for a second, that I was becoming a bit too old for her stories, but on a second thought: how can one be too old to have fun, right? That’s impossible! … Read more
Reading the first pages of this book about how this story came to be, about how Day came to exist, and peeking into Marie’s thoughts made me shiver a bit. Really! It must give her such a nostalgic feeling to look back at all those bumpy roads she had to take until her story came … Read more
He is a Legend. She is a Prodigy. Who will be Champion?
June and Day have sacrificed so much for the people of the Republic—and each other—and now their country is on the brink of a new existence. June is back in the good graces of the Republic, working within the government’s elite circles as Princeps Elect while Day has been assigned a high level …
I am not much into rich vs poor stories. It’s that I don’t get them fully, I don’t understand the characters’ struggle and it’s hard to believe the resolutions presented. Still, some stories are meant to be fun, they offer a nice ride toward a happy ending and their only purpose is to entertain you. … Read more
About “Becoming Bryn” [spacer] Book Description: For months, Jesse has been envious of her twin sister Bryn and even has a crush on Bryn’s gorgeous, popular boyfriend, Quinton. When Jesse awakens from a coma to learn that everyone thinks she IS Bryn, the option of actually taking over her sister’s life is beyond tempting, but … Read more
