Illuminae by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff


my rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
If you haven't listened to this book on audio, you are missing out. I had a hardcopy of Illuminae but chose audio after hearing good things and I loved it! This story follows ex's Ezra and Kady as they try to save the fleet from a falling system. (There is load more but it'd be too much to try and put in a review.) I loved the banter between the main characters. Erza and Kady are amazing together and I look forward to seeing their future. The side characters are fun and lovable. Even the "enemy" Aidan is a new favorite of mine. This was a roller coaster that I am so glad I went on. The writing style is unique, fun and relatable. 

I gave this book 5 stars because if you haven't read it yet, you are need to now!

Shielded by KayLynn Flanders

my rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Huge thanks to Random House Children and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.  I know this story is suppose to be in comparison to Sorcery of Thorns and Furyborn but don't think that is an accurate comparison. The story didn't put an emphasis on libraries and there were more characters involved rather than the protagonist heavy Furyborn. This was such a fun simple story. Jennesara is a princess born with magic she was never suppose to inherit. On the way to her betrothed, her wagon is attacked and she is stranded in a magic forest. Jennesara escapes, is picked by up the royal guard and taken to the castle of her betrothed. Under a false name, she does her best to save her kingdom and the prince she comes to love. The rest of the action follows these events. I enjoyed this story a lot. There is not enough to be said about the magic system in this book. It was unique, special, intriguing and fresh. The plot was simple and predictable a...

Welcome back to my blog! Thank you for visiting. As many of you know already, the 2020 O.W.L.s Readathon hosted by Booktuber Book Roast is now upon us for the month of April.   This year I have chose to participate and after "consulting with my career advisor," I have chosen...drum roll...Journalist or Writer. Shocking I know. So here is what is required for me to pass my "exam." The way it works is you find your career in the guidebook. I'll link it here: Wizarding Careers Guidebook 2020 here . You pick your "career" (mine being Journalist or Writer) and then these course are what you are required to complete for OWLs. So as seen above, they are History of Magic, Muggle Studies and a subject of my choosing. So these "courses" are now linked to reading prompts. So for my reading to pass my OWLs, I must choose three books; History of Magic or a book featuring witches or wizards, a subject of my choosing, I am picking Charms or a book...

We are the Wildcats by Siobhan Vivian

my rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A big thanks to Netgalley and Simon & Schuster Books for this Arc in exchange for an honest review.  This book follows a girls field hockey team as they begin their season highly anticipated season. The story pulls the reader in by diving  into the brains of adolescent girls as they navigate the politics of high school athletics on a state winning team. Beginning with the "jersey ceremony," the girls navigate one night of fun and betrayal as they struggle to earn the title of Wildcat. I connected so heavily with this story. Growing up I was an athlete for most my life and I felt every moment these girls went through. I felt the anger, the insecurity, trying to fit in, the politics of being a captain and the pressure to be perfect. I connected to many experiences these girl went through including watching my friends struggle with a toxic coach, The story is broken down into different views which I loved because it allowed me to connec...
