Unremembered

Book #1 in Unremembered Series

By Jessica Brody

Unremembered was one of the books I (very much) looked forward to this year. With a gorgeous cover and a tremendous description, it grabbed my attention from the first time I saw it and I was really happy when I got the chance to finally read it. The idea behind it is…

Out of The Easy

By Ruta Sepetys

Heartbreakingly beautiful! You know, when I have a hard day or a hard week (or I feel like I’m having a hard life even though I so obviously don’t) I go back to some of my favorite authors, pick a book from them and so I am reminded that life is still good. That without the mess we wouldn’t be able…

Requiem

Book #3 in Delirium Series

By Lauren Oliver

This is not an ending, this is just the beginning. Yes, we are saying our farewells to our beloved characters, but for them this is just a door opening towards freedom. I notice that I am once more writing my review backwards, but that’s OK, as this is what I liked the most about this last…

The Eternity Cure

Book #4 in Blood of Eden Series

By Julie Kagawa

I repeat: I.Do.Not.Like.Vampire.Books! And you see that rating up there? It should say 6 stars, but I don't know where in the Fringe the last one might be. I should report it missing because in fact.. I.ADORED.THIS.BOOK! After reading this story I might have left only one neuron (the others have gone looking for Eden again) and it's a ……

Mărţişor

In The Midnight Cup of Coffee

Finally, spring!   The 1st of March, known as “Mărţişor”, is an old celebration that symbolizes the beginning of spring and the continuity of life. Mărțișor (pronunciation: [mərtsiʃor]) is the diminutive of marț, the old folk name for March (now known as Martie), so the word can be translated by something similar to “little March” or “dear March”…

Boundless

Book #3 in Unearthly Series

By Cynthia Hand

It’s always hard for me to say goodbye to a series.. To know that I’ll never meet again the characters I got to know so well, I’ll never live with them new adventures, there will be no more secrets to discover (in this case no more dreams to haunt us), there will be no cliffhanger to keep me waiting for…

Prodigy

Book #2 in Legend Series

By Marie Lu

What an AMAZING story! It’s a bit unusual for me to like more the second book in a series, but as much as I liked Legend it will never compare with this lovely book… Because, you see, Prodigy is simply (and amazingly) good: great characters, strong world building, a lot more action and an amount of…

Pivot Point

Book #1 in Pivot Point Series

By Kasie West

Can someone please come and erase my memory such that I can fall in love again with this story in 2014? I really have a hard time believing that I will be able to sit still and wait a whole year for my favorite part of this story. I am even scared. I saw Addie fall in love 2 times…

Divergent – The Movie

In The Midnight Cup of Coffee

Soon to come   I might be living in a soap bubble (or a dark cave or something) as I don’t seem to keep up with all that’s happening in the book world. And I would gladly hear you say that you feel the same, otherwise I might be the only person in the world that didn’t…

Timekeeper

Book #2 in Timeless Series

By Alexandra Monir

Oh dear. I can’t find my words. I’ve waited for this book for so long, wishing for it to be mind-blowing, full of twits and mystery and magical history and so I got to read it and then… I hate myself for not loving this book, I hate myself for setting up such high expectations – that’s the…

The Lost Girl

By Sangu Mandanna

If only tears could talk, they would tell you how much I loved this story.. They would tell you that pages can radiate emotions, that words can create feelings, that beauty can hurt. If tears could talk.. they would tell you how they dropped on this book drowning smiles in emotions, drowning sadness and turning it into in…

Shadow of Time

In Guest Posts

Hello everyone!   Sometimes books bring back to us pieces of history through the layers of time, sometimes fiction gets inspired from and reminds us of bits that we should not forget. During the “Shadow of Time” blog tour, Jen Minkman took the time to tell us more about the Navajo nation, as it represents an…
