Halloweeny Books

Hey Guys,
sorry I've been sort of absent recently but I've been really busy. That, and I've been waiting for today so I could talk to you guys about some Halloweeny books. These books aren't necessarily scary or creepy, though some of them are, they are mainly just about things I personally relate to Halloween.
Let's us begin 'if you dare!'

 So to start with I thought I'd tell you about a book I literally just reviewed so to find out more look bellow this post. So anyway that book is Witch Hunter by Virginia Boecker

So as you can probably tell the reason I chose this book is the fact that it's about witches, however this book does have creepier moments in the story.

Next up we have Miss Peregrines Home For Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs. I included this in my top favourite series so look there for more info.

This book looks really creepy and I would say that for at least the first half it's really creepy when jacobs looking at the house and around that area. But, as you get into the story and get to know the setting and the characters it's creepy factor kind of dissapears.

Now this one looks pretty scary. I haven't yet read it but from reading reviews and the blurb it looks pretty nightmarish. Horrorstor by Grady Hendrix.

So from what I gather this is about a haunted Ikea type shop and at night all these things come and pretty much reck the store. I chose this because haunted houses are very Halloweeny so, why not shops to?

And my final book that I relate to the halloween season is...
Twilight by Stephanie Meyer!

You're all probably thinking; What? That book is so not scary it's just a soppy teen romance novel, but then I will kindly remind you that; yes this is a teeny romancy book that just happens to be based around vampires! and the vampires are what made me choose this book. So there...Yeah.

Those were some of my halloweeny reads there are tons as well but then this post would too long and boring so I only included those ones. I'll see you guys soon. bye xx

P.S. It's my birthday November "nd so excited!

Witch Hunter by Virginia Boecker

Hi Guys,
Today I'm going to be reviewing Witch Hunter by Virginia Boecker.
 - No spoilers sorry if you've read it but not everyone has.

First of all this book is basicly about a girl named Elizabeth who is a witch hunter. One day she is caught carrying witches herbs and is sentenced to be burnt at the stake.
When she is in jail a group of  witches and wizards rescue her and she has to make the ultimet choice between magic or murder!

First of all I really like the way Elizabeth is actually really sweet but shes been taught to be a badass which gives her a relatable vulnerability. I like the way she has to reconsider the fact that witchery is wrong and maybe it was her ideas that were wrong. The twist that is slowly revealed but still hits you hard is really well pulled off

Top 10 Contemporary Books

Hey Guys,
So my last post was top 5 fantasy series so onto the other end of the wheel 'Top 10 Contemporary Books.' Contemporary (or from now on Comp for short) is my second favourite genre but because they are generaly stand alone it means I read more different ones. Also I will not include photo's as there are ten books I mean come on, no.
Let's begin!


10. Wonder by R.J. Palacio
The main reason I love this book is the story. It's a coming of age story about a boy named august who has severe deformaties. I like the way it's written and it really gets the message across about bullying.

9. The Fault In Our Stars by John Green
Warning this book is sad. Although this book is sad and sort of depressing the writing is really beautiful as is the story. The language is quite scientific which puts an interesting spin on the book.

8. We Were Liars by E. Lockhart
OMG this book is so different, from the language to the format of the story. I like the writing and the story is really different. The twist at the end is just so incredibly ming blowing.

7. Eleanor & Park by Raindow Rowell
Rainbow Rowell never fails in writing contemporary and this one is fantastic. I love the young love story and the way it's written is fantastic. The characters are really well developed and the ending is so heart wrenching.
 
6. Paper Towns by John Green
Another John Green book. Although TFIOS is more dramatic and sad I prefer this one. The bread crumb trail is really well put together I love the mystery that is Margo Roth Spieglemen and all the characters are really well backstoried. I can't wait to watch the film.
 
5. I'll Give You The Sun by Jandy Nelson
It's hard to explaint he depth to which this book moves you as it never sounds good enough using words, the only way to describe it is simply 'Read It'. The characters in this book are so involved and developed. The way the duel points of view is done is something special.
 
4. Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
As I've already said Rainbow can write a good contemporary. I prfer this one because I fing it more relateable and I prefer the characters a little bit. This one also features snipbits of a fantasy book which is really unique.

3. To All The Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Hann
 I love this book. It is actually the first book in a duology I belive. The writing is really sweet and enthralling the characters are so well written and they feel really relateable. It is kind of a generic base line that is built upon with great characters and story.
 
2. All The Bright Places by Jennifer Niven
This book is just AHHH incredible. The characters are really interesting I love Finches personality and violets developement. The end is so heart breaking and heart wrenching. The way they leave something where they go and the post it notes and the blackhole lake and and and ti's just so so so good.
 
1. Finding Audrey by Sophie Kinsella
This is a fairly recent read but it captivated me. It is so fun and light and hilarious to read but it does carry a darker note. For some people it can be realteable as it is about social anxiety whivh is something I suffer from so I realated. The characters are so lovely and lovable. I like the different components to it and the involvement of the parents is really interesting and new.


Those are my top 10 Contemoroary books. Just to say the colours represent the colour of the book cover.
see you soon...

Top 5 Fantasy Series

Hey Guys,
SO I thought for my first proper post I'd do something to give you an introduction to who I am as reader. What books Ilike, what I've read and things like that. So (if you coudn't figure it out from the title) I am sharing with you my top 5 fantasy series. Just to narrow it down the series will only be ones with which every book in that series has been relaesed.
So now without further adew I bring you...
My Top 5 Fantasy Series with which all the books have been released!

Coming in at number 5 we have...

The Infernal Devices by Cassandra Clare. This trilogy is fantastic. It takes place in London which I love. I also love all the characters (especially Will Herondale) and the world is so imaganative and different. I prefer this to the Moratal Instruments because I think the Characters and story line are  better.


Then at number 4 it's...

The Vampire Acadamy series by Richelle Mead. Disclaimer although all the books have been released I ahve not read the all but it fits the criteria. I really love Rose as the main character because she's really badass and I like that about her. Even though vampires doesn't sound that original the world she's created feels really unique.


Next at number 3 we have...

The Miss Peregrines Home For Peculiar Children series by Ransom Riggs. This book contains one of my favourite fantasy world; Peculiardom. The way the whole book is based ont the photography entwined with the story is fantastic. The writing is really Poectic and desciprtive and enthrallling.


The penultimate one number 2 it's...

Pecy Jackson and the Olympians and also The Heroes of Olympus by Rick Riordan. I love the way greek mythology is entwined with the story and the world is different. Percy Jackson (as in the character) is the best and number 1 book boyfriend I love his persomality and the personality in the story.


Now finally my favourite fantasy series is...

The Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling. I don't really need to say much about this other than; If you haven't read thiis why not? I love the fun in the stories and the world is truly amazing. I love how in depth the world goes includin Quidittch the best sport ever. The part Voldemort plays is good because he's just so evil, and the characters are so lovely and you grow reallly attatched to them. I guess I need to say qiute a lot.

So those are my favourite completed fantasy series. I'll see you soon
