forstbite
3. Frostbite, Shadow Kiss, Blood Promise by Richelle Mead: The emotions that pulled at my heart through these books, gosh. I don’t want to spoil anything for anyone so I can’t really go into depth. Just read and find out .

Top Ten Worlds I’d Never Want To Live

Jan 28, 2014

Top Ten Tuesday 1

 

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week they post a new Top Ten list that members at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. All bloggers are then welcomed to join. This week’s Top Ten Tuesday is: Top Ten Nine Worlds I’d Never Want To Live  
This week was somewhat hard. Some worlds just come to my mind so quick, but then other times I had to really think about it. As you will see most of the worlds included are Dystopian. These are in no particular order. (Click on the covers for reviews that I have done for some of the books)
The Hunger Games

1. Panem: The Hunger Games by Suzzane Collins – Who would want to live in a world where you could go into a game where you could die. Where if you were born, into a less fortunate district, you are living on nothing. Where you are controlled by people, that get everything. Not Me, Thank you.

under the never sky

2. Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi – everything about this world is scary, where ever you live. Just in different ways.  

hp

3. Harry Potter: War Time by J.K Rowling – I love the world that J.K created but not during the war with Voldemort. I would not want everyday fearing for the worst. Worry about my friends and family.  If it’s after the war then hell yeah would love to live there.

 delirium

4. Delirum by Lauren Oliver – A world without love, no thank you.

 divergent

5. City of Chicago: Divergent by Veronica Roth – I am pretty sure if I lived in this world, I would be a Divergent, so I don’t think that’s the best for me. And to say that I am very strong options on things so I don’t think that’s the best.

 got

6. Westeros: Song and Fire and Ice by George R.R. Martin – A world where you have no idea who you can trust, don’t know who is good, who is bad, where everyone you love could die. A world where manipulation is okay, where you are forced into marriage. I think maybe because I know that things like this somewhat, happen in history makes it that much worse.

twtwb

7.  Australia: Tomorrow when the War Began by John Marsden – Gosh, imagine just going away for a few days and coming back to everything not the way that is it was before. I think because I live in Australia, it makes it that more surreal.

 angel

8.  During the War: Angel by L.A Weatherly – A War where Angel’s hurt humans, they are horrible and just run the world and more are coming.

angelfall

9. AngelFall by Susan Ee – Another world where Angel’s are terrifying as hell. Where they have taken over.

So that’s my list, how do you feel about these worlds? What are some worlds you would not want to live in?

 

Top Ten Things On My Reading Wishlist

Jan 20, 2014

Top Ten Tuesday 1

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week they post a new Top Ten list that members at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. All bloggers are then welcomed to join.
This week’s Top Ten Tuesday is: Top Ten Eight Things On My Reading Wishlist (if you could make authors write about these things you would.) These are in no Particular order and they are for mostly YA authors.
1.I wish for… More YA thriller – I am really liking thriller novels at the moment after reading Psycho Inside Me  but there isn’t that much, in young adult novels so I would love some more.
2. I wish for…More books based around  Greek Mythology – I love Greek Mythology alot, I would love for more YA novels to be based on it, just all about the Greek Gods, the demi gods, all the monsters. Pretty awesome if I say so myself.

gods

3. I wish for… More novels about magic – I love magic and everything about it, so some more novels that incorporate magic is pretty awesome. I know there is a bit already out, but i want more like Harry Potter if you get what I mean.
wand
4. I wish for… More Male character leads – yes there is a few but not many. It’s different and nice having someone other then a female as our main character.
5. I wish for… More books set in Australia – There is countless books set in America and i am just sick of reading about the same place over and over again. I live in Australia and I have only read 1 book that is set in Australia it was so awesome, I knew the places that were being talked about and i wasn’t as lost
aus
6. I wish for… Books set around the war time – I am always intrigued about books set around war, and I would love see more set around of times of real wars.
7. I wish for… Less love triangles – I hate love triangles, the annoy me and get me so angry, so do many other things check out some here. Sometimes i don’t read a book because I know it has a love triangle in it. They just out me so off.
LOVE_TRIANGLE_logo
8. I wish for… More books set in Medieval Times – Something about this time era pulls me in. I am not sure to what it is. Maybe because ‘magic’ was around in these times and just the clothes worn, knights, kings, queens etc I just love it.
 
knight in shining armor

So that is what I want to see done by more YA authors. What,if you could make authors write about?

I have a love-hate relationship with this series. I have a love-hate relationship with this series. But I ended up really enjoying this one. It’s best friends to fake dating to-lovers. It’s always been you, bad-boy/good-girl, and I loved that. While Save Your Breath has quite a few tropes, it really leads itself to it, and it works. 

Aleks and Mia have known each other for years now. Since they were teenagers, that angst has been building up this whole time. And you can tell right from the get-go, it’s fantastic. I even wanted more of it, because I love pain. When Aleks went to live with Mia’s family as a teenager, sparks flew, but for many reasons, they both put their feelings aside. And well, now they are not only going to be fake-dating, but they might as well be engaged, too. 

I really enjoyed seeing how both Aleks and Mia both tried to hide how they were feeling throughout the whole ‘fake-dating’ situation, but anyone could see it. They know each other as no one else does. Aleks has a lot going on, and while I do think this was brushed over a little too much, Mia is his centre. Mia is a massive music star and is a female in the industry, so yeah, people don’t respect her. Obvsiouly because why couldn’t a female star be badass and write about the things that she has gone through? Aleks and Mia get each other, and that is very clear from the start; they are both just trying to squash everything. We get to see them slowly start to show how they feel, and well, one night it all explodes. 

Overall, I enjoyed this one a lot; it’s not my favourite of the series, but I had a great time reading it. I liked Aleks and Mia a lot as characeters and while I think the mental health aspect could have been explored a whole lot more, I can see why it wasn’t. The romance was slow and spicy, the angst was great, and the payoff for these two was what they needed.

Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I onl Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I only ended up reading 3 books in. 3 pretty fun books but one of my slowest readings months in a while. 

And I’m going to be honest here it’s because I’ve been constantly reading Heated Rivalry fanfics. 🤷‍♀️ I’m having the best time though. 

How was your reading in February? Any 5  star reads?
