April Wrap-Up




Hey guys! It's the end of April already, this year is just flying by and it's actually scary. This month was very eventful for me, it was my 18th birthday so I've been very preoccupied but I still managed to read a total of 4 books and I feel like it was a really good reading month for me since I adored most of these books! If you want to watch the video I made for my YouTube channel where I go into a bit more detail about each of these books, you can click here.

 Geekerella by Ashley Poston

 I enjoyed this book a lot more than I thought I would, I was very pleasantly surprised. Although it was predictable at times, it was a very diverse and modern take on the classic fairytale and the characters were very likeable and relatable. The story drew you in and it was a fast-paced read.

I of course had very high expectations for this book and I was not disappointed in the slightest. This sequel was even better than the first book and I can't give this book and series enough praise. The world building is fantastic, you fall in love with the characters- Rhysand is my actual love. I cannot wait to see where the story goes in the finale!

Another book which I had really high expectations for and again I wasn't disappointed. There were a few parts of the story which I found problematic, one of which being the speed of Maddy and Olly's relationship but other than that, this book was flawless. I adored the plot twist ending, I didn't see it coming at all and despite my issue with their relationship, I loved Maddy and Olly as characters. They were so real and unique. It was such a quick and easy read with illustrations and texts to add to the depth of the character. I read this in one sitting.

This was a really short but impactful classic read that I am so glad I decided to read. The messages behind the story were so important and cleverly done so that the reader understood and also thought about what the book was saying. I finished it in one sitting and really found myself heart-warmed and interested in the story.

March Wrap-Up




Hey guys! I've decided I'm going to start doing wrap-ups again! I've found the format that I really like for this but let me know if you like the way I'm doing it or not in the comments! Also, if you would like to watch the video for this on YouTube, where I go into more depth about each book, click here.

 Cheater by Rachel Van Dyken

 I really enjoyed this book. I thought it was relatable and the characters were so sassy and witty they were fun to read about. It was sexy and the romance in this was very graphic at times. The plot was interesting and although quite predictable at times, it was still such a fun read and super light hearted.

This was a very eye-opening read about a girl with autism. I loved how descriptive it was, allowing us to really understand what the illness was like for Grace and how it affected her everyday life. I didn't really feel much of a connection with the characters but I still liked reading the story.

A very interesting collection of letters written by young adults to their 16 year old selves motivating them through a range of mental health issues. Heartbreaking to read about some of the struggles at times but I feel this will really benefit those struggling with mental health and give them some advise. A very short but important book.

Amazing amazing amazing book! I was so pleasantly surprised by this. There were plot twists in this that I just didn't see coming and that totally broke my heart but it was beautifully written and full of character development and people you just fell in love with. A lovely story about learning to trust the world, and yourself.

One of my new all time favourite books and definitely my favourite book of the year so far. Sci-fi isn't usually something I'm interested in but this totally captivated me. I couldn't put it down. The layout was so interesting, as it's told through emails and reports and documents and again, some insane plot twists I was not expecting. Cannot wait to read the second book.

I really really enjoyed this book. It was super fun and full of lots of important messages about self worth and happiness. Despite the fact I did dislike a lot of the characters, I found this book to be really refreshing and the main character Molly was so likeable!
