This is my second time around reading the entire trilogy of THE HUNGER GAMES and honestly, I was hoping as I went into MOCKINGJAY the second time around that I would come out on the other side with a better overall opinion of it. When I first read MOCKINGJAY, I wrote in my Goodreads review that […]
SO. This was my re-read of CATCHING FIRE. Since I read all of The Hunger Games trilogy before I started blogging, I figured a review is still appropriate! First impressions upon finishing my re-read? I STILL LOVE IT. I still love the first book more, but for some reason I was thinking I was a […]
So it’s time for Top Ten Tuesday, hosted by the wonderful blog at The Broke and the Bookish! This week’s theme is: Top Ten Books For People Who Like X Book And my choice is Ten Books for people who liked THE HUNGER GAMES. I’m choosing this because it’s a well-known book that a lot of […]
Okay, I’m going to be a little harsh on this because The Winner’s Trilogy is one of my all-time favorite series, full of cleverness, intrigue, and romantic tension that is a killer. While THE MIDNIGHT LIE is a very different feel than the original Winner’s Trilogy, that’s not what I had a problem with. I’m […]
In an attempt to get back into the blogging swing, I wanted to revisit my monthly recaps but in a much more casual way! Instead of focusing on stats and posts, I’m sharing some of my favorite things about this month, from books to merch to life and everything in between! BOOKS I had a […]
First of all… I did not know this was a series going into it and it really does affect how you view a book. I kept waiting for things to lift off (quite literally) and this just didn’t have the action that I was expecting. It really felt like THE HUNGER GAMES meets Space Camp […]
BOOK-TO-SCREEN ADAPTATIONS I always enjoy a good book to screen adaptation, whether that’s a movie, TV show, mini-series, or even a musical! I’m super far behind on so many of them but I’ve actually caught up on a few recently with some book binges that I did in preparation of the new productions! SIMON […]
TOP TEN TUESDAY February 27, 2018 It’s Top Ten Tuesday, formerly hosted by The Broke and the Bookish and now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl! This week’s topic was a love freebie so I chose Books I Could Re-Read Forever This is such fun topic because it’s almost time for one of my annual re-reads when I […]
By the time I got around to writing my review for RED RISING, I’ve already finsihed the entire first trilogy and finished the first installment in the next era with IRON GOLD, so admittedly, I have quite a different view of this book than when I write down my initial thoughts. It actually makes it […]
WARCROSS is only my second Marie Lu book (I’ve only read LEGEND. I know, how horrible am I? I loved it too…) and I’m so glad I had the chance to get back into her writing! Every since READY PLAYER ONE, I’ve been dying for more video game/virtual reality-type adventures and I know there are […]
