January Wrap-up!!

Wow....so January is over...I felt like this month super dragged....I felt like it was almost done, and then it was still only the first week....And it still feels like it should be in the middle of February. -___-'' I'm so confused....Ah well...Well on to the wrap-up!!

I finished three books this month. I actually did better than I thought I was going to. Red Branch by Morgan Llywelyn took up most of my time. The book was really good, but it was a bit slow going. Probably because of all the foreign words...Celtic/Old Irish names are hard...Haha! But the book was really good.

I then devoured Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas.....This book....My glob....this book.....It is now probably my favorite series as of right now.....It's sooo good....I like....Legitimately went through withdrawal. I missed the world and the characters, and I want to find out more about Celaena. She's probably my most favorite female character ever. I have the next book Crown of Midnight, which I haven't hauled yet, and I'm just the happiest duck ever.

And lastly, last night I finished Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson. Another freaking fabulous fantasy novel. I laughed, cried, yelled, cheered and was dumbfounded. So many emotions and I loved all of them. The characters are so wonderful and the world is beautifully written. I have the rest of the series in the mail and I can't wait to read them.

So, first major thing, I have read three fantasy books! Yay!!! I'm sooooooooooooooooooooooooo proud of myself!!! I had been wanting to try fantasy for a long time.  I'm finding that not all fantasy books are daunting and awful.....I mean, I have always liked the idea of fantasy...it's just some are so confusing...when you find one that's really good and well written...they are wonderful. I regret not reading more sooner...I DID IT, MOM!!

This is the first book I will be reading for February. City of Bones by Cassandra Clare.  I started it yesterday, but I only got through the first chapter before I passed out. Too many feels to deal with and I wasn't 100% sold on the first chapter either. I felt like things happened way too fast and though I appreciated the action right away...it wasn't very good action. But everyone really seems to love this series, so I'm going to try not to judge it based on the first chapter.


Until next time mes amies!~

Throne of Glass~ The REVIEW!!~~

Synopsis: Throne of Glass is about an assassin named Celaena Sardothien. She has been sent to the salt mines, a prison, for her crimes until she is freed by the crowned prince to fight in a competition tobecome the King's Champion.  The world has lost its magic and is now filled with corruption, dangers and a new threat. As something starts to kill off her competitors, Celaena has to find out who is killing everyone while fighting to win her freedom.

I. Loved. This. Book. I devoured it. I had first heard about this book on Regan's Youtube Channel PeruseProject. She raved about this book so much...I needed it....So when my Japanese club went to Chicago for a trip, I looked frantically for a Barnes and Noble. I was sad that I had to wait as long as I did to read it, but it was totally worth it. It was a page turner and had my interest from the first sentence. The characters are so interesting and Celaena is hilarious!! She is my spirit animal. Like if I was athletic, we'd be the same person. Both sarcastic, love to read, love frilly clothes and have the same eye and hair color. Also, we think a lot of the same things. In one part she mentions skinning a guy and I remember thinking, "Oh my gosh!!! I've threatened someone with that!!" (and now you all are probably scared...oh well..I'm a violent person. XD I just don't follow through with it. Haha)

The world that Sarah J Maas has created is really fantastic. I love all of it. It actually kind of felt...homey to me. Is that weird? Probably. I just love everything about this book. The love triangle in this book is also fantastic. It's not one of those in your face kind of things, which I usually find kind of annoying. I love the interaction between the characters in the triangle as well. 

I guess this book was mostly world building..which in retrospect, it was. But I loved the world, so I guess I didn't really notice it too much. The second book, Crown of Midnight, which I have coming in the mail, is supposed to be even better than this book......I CAN'T WAIT!!!! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Also, I heard that this is supposed to be a seven book series...wow my gosh....I'm so excite!!!!

I give this book 5/5 stars on Goodreads
Well, until next time!~ Probably with my January wrap-up!

Boop!

Another Book Haul

Well...as you can see...I got a few more books...oops.  Most of these are from Goodwill.  The last two are from bookstores.

Uglies by Scott Westerfeld.  I squeaked like a mouse when I found this! I saw Scott Westerfeld's name and I thought, ".....I know that name......I keep hearing it on Booktube..." So I grabbed it and got all wide eyed and squeaked, "Oh my gosh this book!!!" Now...this book is mangled, has writing on it (the top of the book says "yo." hahaha!) and the binding is broken to all heck...but I'm IN LOVE with this book. It's totally broken in, and I've never seen this printing of it. It was also a library book at one time (it has the check out card sleeve in it) so that explains the condition. But I've been curious about this book for a while now, and now I own it! I want to try and track down the rest of this series in this edition~ Wish me luck!! I love going on  hunts for weird things~

The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd. I had heard about this book from Booktube and I decided that it was something I would like (#Booktubemademedoit).  I'm pretty sure it's a movie now...haven't seen that either...The cover is nice! And...bees are pretty cool..I guess. Wow. Hahaha. I don't know what else to say about this...^^'

 Bless Me, Ultima by Rudolfo Anaya. I read this...hmmm...maybe my senior year of high school and I thought it was a pretty good book. I thought I'd get it and re-read it and see if I had the same feeling as I did when I was required to read and analyze it for a grade. I had also read Tortuga by the same author and enjoyed it as well, so if I enjoy it still, maybe I will check out some more books by this author.

Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas.  This book. Guys...This book. I have heard so many good things about it and when I saw it at Barns and Noble when I was in Chicago. It has one of those deliciously buttery covers and I weirded out my guy friend by making him pet my book (He said that was a sentence he'd never thought he'd hear. Haha!).  I am very excited to read this!! Yay!

Wonder by RJ Palacio. I have heard amazing things about this book. I don't entirely know what it's about, but I heard it was beautiful. I also LOVE this cover. It's very simple, but it's bright and interesting. I don't what else to say about it...^^'

Well, that's all for this haul! As I have stated above, at least a couple of times, I'm very excited to get to these books! Hopefully I'll enjoy all of them!

Until next time!
