Review: A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab

My rating

My review

I just finished rereading this book, and oh, my god! It was as amazing as the first time around! I rarely reread books, but this one kept calling me back, and with the release of Conjuring of Light, I couldn't miss a chance to visit this magical world and my favorite characters once again! And I am so glad that I did!

I had so much fun rereading this book! And do I even need to write about the Londons and world building? I mean, it's freaking awesome! Reading about another world is always cool, but add different kinds of cities in that, with some magic, mystery, and evil twins in it, and you've got yourself a perfect fantasy book!

The Sunday Post #2

 

The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba @Caffeinated Book Reviewer. It’s a chance to share News. A post to recap the past week, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up for the week on our blog. 

Life: This week has been a busy yet boring kind of week. I finally stopped procrastinating and finished some of my work. I had gotten really distracted last week, and hadn't been able to concentrate on any work, so I am really glad that I finally managed to do it. I've also been attending my college lectures this week, so that also kept my day busy. I also finally started to get back into reviewing ( I haven't been doing it for last few months), so I also managed to catch up on some reviews this week too!

Review: Beautiful Bastard by Christina Lauren

My ratings

My review

Me: I am tired of reading all those heavy books, let's find some funny and light romance.

Me: Searches fluffy romance on Gr. Annoyed to find out I've read most of the books. Comes across Beautiful what?? Bastard and decides to read it.

Alright, I guess you all know what happened after this from my rating. Yes, I did read this book. And yes, I hated it. Hate is too strong a word, but nothing else can describe my annoyance for this book.

I expected this book to be a funny romance, but what I got? A disappointment. You know, you go into a book, expecting the characters to meet, get attracted to each other, and also maybe flirt? But what's in this book? Sex. And it starts from page 17. And until then, there's only rambling of how Mr Ryan is a jerk. And there isn't even any sort of chemistry between them! It was such a boring read, with jokes which weren't even funny.

Anticipated February reads!

Anticipated reads of February, 2017!

Hey, bibliophiles! In this post, I am going to share some of my anticipated releases of February which I can't wait to read!


 A Conjuring of Light (Shades of Magic #3)

                                                                                                                                                             

                                                                                          Goodreads blurb:
 The battle between four magical Londons comes to a head in this stunning finale to the New York Times bestselling Shades of Magic trilogy by rising star V. E. Schwab.

London's fall and kingdoms rise while darkness sweeps the Maresh Empire—and the fraught balance of magic blossoms into dangerous territory while heroes and foes struggle alike. The direct sequel to A Gathering of Shadows, and the final book in the Shades of Magic epic fantasy series, A Conjuring of Light sees Schwab reach a thrilling culmination concerning the fate of beloved protagonists—and old enemies.

My thoughts:

I read A Darker Shade of Magic in January last year, and to say that  I loved it would be an understatement! I mean, this book is everything. And I am not exaggerating! If you're a fantasy buff like me, then this series is perfect for you! There's magic (lot's of it), different kinds of London and each one of it has unique quality. Then there are badass characters whom I absolutely LOVE. To be honest, I'm here for only my babies! The main characters are Kell and Lila, but more are added in second books which you can't help but fall in love with!

You guys have no idea how crazy I am about theses books, and I've been literally waiting for this book for  year, so all the anticipations has just kept building up! I'm already rereading the first two books so that I won't have to wait too much for this one ;P I can't wait for my copy to arrive!

2017 updates: Life, books, and more books!

So, I am finally back after really long! Sorry for being MIA, but I was just not inspired, so I thought it would be better to just not do anything about it. Anyways, here I am with life and book updates!!

So, my 2017 has been great so far on personal levels, but it's been slow when it comes to books. I've only read about two books until now. And I'm finally getting to reading what I really love: Fantasy! Since A Conjuring of Light is nearly here, I have decided to reread the first two books in the series! A Darker Shade of Magic was one of my favorite books of last year, so I am really excited to go into that magical world again! *_*

Review: The Fill-In Boyfriend by Kasie West

My ratings

Review

I rarely read fluffy YA romance these days, mainly because they tend to get repetitive and ends up like just another cliched romance. And, this book was somewhat like that. But also really fun. This was the state of my mind and heart after finishing this book:

Mind: Ugh, this book was so slow. Where was the plot?

Heart: Plot? Who needs plot when you have such an adorable love story and gives you all the feels?

Mind: But the girl was so annoying!

Heart: Well, she was just sad because no one understood her.

Mind: The story started off with Gia's boyfriend dumping her. On a prom night no less. I really did not see that coming. #sarcasm

Heart: Oh, come on. You're out of your mind. How could you forget that berak-up got her a fill-in boyfriend? Who, let's just admit, was really hot and droolworthy!

MIND GAMES by Heather W. Petty 

Synopsis

Sherlock Holmes and Miss James “Mori” Moriarty may have closed their first case, but the mystery is far from over in the thrilling sequel to Lock & Mori, perfect for fans of Maureen Johnson and Sherlock.

You know their names. Now discover their beginnings.

Mori’s abusive father is behind bars…and she has never felt less safe. Threatening letters have started appearing on her doorstep, and the police are receiving anonymous tips suggesting that Mori—not her father—is the Regent’s Park killer. To make matters worse, the police are beginning to believe them.

Through it all, Lock—frustrating, brilliant, gorgeous Lock—is by her side. The two of them set out to discover who is framing Mori, but in a city full of suspects, the task is easier said than done. With the clock ticking, Mori will discover just how far she is willing to go to make sure that justice is served, and no one—not even Lock—will be able to stop her.
