There are some books I can’t hold back a review for much longer. I need to get my thoughts straight, and I need to tell the world how much I enjoyed the book. Contrary to my belief Carry On is one of those books. I did not expect to like this book. I went in thinking that I would get bored, and that’s one of the reasons it took me so long to pick it up. A story like Harry Potter isn’t something that excites me to read, but the hype sure is contagious! Now if I could talk to my past-self, I would recommend her to pick it up as soon as possible because she was not going to be bored. Author: Rainbow Rowell Pages: 528 Genre: Contemporary Fantasy, Romance, LGBTQ+ Publication: 6th October 2015 Synopsis: Simon Snow is the worst Chosen One who’s ever been chosen. That’s what …

The first time I participated in the Spookathon back in 2017, I read Frozen Charlotte, and it was one of the best decisions I made. Picking up that book about creepy little dolls was a journey, and luckily, the author came out with a prequel. Obviously, I jumped on board without thinking twice. And since we are in October the spookiest month of the year and Halloween is approaching fast, there isn’t a better time to review Charlotte Says. Author: Alex Bell Publisher: Stripes Publishing Pages: 352 Genre: Historical Horror, YA Publication: 7th September 2017 Synopsis: Following the death of her mother in a terrible fire, Jemima flees to the remote Isle of Skye, to take up a job at a school for girls. There she finds herself tormented by the mystery of what really happened that night. Then Jemima receives a box of Frozen Charlotte dolls from a mystery …

If you don’t know this yet, Ransom Riggs released last month the fourth book in the Miss Peregrine’s Peculiar Children series. After 3 years since Library of Souls, he signed a three-book deal to continue with the story for a while longer. For me, Miss Peregrine’s Peculiar Children series are the original three books (Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, Hollow City, and Library of Souls) the only ones that I read and that I’m going to write about today. These three new books start where Library of Souls left off, but I consider them a new series. All the questions that I had since the first book are answered, so that story is closed. Therefore, these three new books are a new story told in a different setting with the same character and in the same world. For someone that loves this series they are gold, but for me, …

My relationship with The 100 started off in 2014 shortly after the conclusion of the first season. I was series-less, and a friend recommended me to watch it, and I binged the all thing in two days (just because I had to sleep). Although, I can’t remember when did I become aware the show was based on a book by Kass Morgan. Since then, all I ever wanted to do was to pick up the book. However, you don’t need to do much research to discover that both stories mostly have the name in common and nothing else. And this was a risk for me. I was completely in love with the TV series, and I didn’t want to lose that love for finding the books better or the other way around. Bottom line, I didn’t want the story of one influenced my opinion on the other. So, even after …

It took me almost two months to read it, but I finally finished The Nightmare by Lars Kepler. The power couple known to be the best writers of the hour of nordic crime stories have managed to create a very successful series following the detective Joona Lina while he unravels the most twisted crimes Sweden has ever seen. The Nightmare is the second book after The Hypnotist, and already with 5 more books ahead of it. From the look of it, the series seems pretty good, and I’m not going to say otherwise. Original Title: Paganinikontraktet Author: Lars Kepler Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Year: 2012 Pages: 528 A drowned young woman is discovered on an abandoned pleasure boat drifting by the Stockholm archipelago. Strangely, her clothes are dry, but the autopsy report shows her lungs are filled with water. The next day, a man turns up dead, hanging from a lamp hook …

How is it possible that April feels longer than the first three months of the year? I swear last month took soooo long to pass, but at the same time, how on earth is already May?? And I already have plans for every week of the month, not kidding. My social life is on fire this month, which means I’ll be able to hibernate for the rest of the year. Jokes aside, I have no idea how my reading is going to be. What I do know is how April has been, so let’s dive into it.
