Monthly Wrap-up

This is my super late monthly wrap-up. I did listen to the audiobook of Hopeless by Coleen Hoover but I didn't finish it. I'm not into cheesy romance. I also read The Little Prince on ebook.

So here are the books I finished for the month of July.

 The Last Olympian by Rick Riordon


This last book of Percy Jackson was so epic. Everything was so perfect! I love the action! Every characters are awesome, the twists and turns are so overwhelming.I love the way Percy turned out. To be honest, I didn't like him(I don't care about him) until I started reading The Last Olympian, way to go Percy! You earned yourself a new fan, but Tyson and Nico are still my baes. This book was a perfect ender to an epic adventure.


Rating: 5 stars/5 stars

World After by Susan Ee
"We must be quite the sight. Raffe in his red mask with his demon wings spread out in all their scythe-edged glory. A scrawny teenage Daughter of Man brandishing an archangel sword and a little girl stitched-up to look and behave like a nightmare who is clutching a pair of angel wing" 

This book was intoxicating! I can't help myself on turning the pages. It has a lot to offer; Kick-ass characters, romance,sick vengeance, death, horror and blood! It's a thrilling read for me tho I need more Penryn and Raffe moments. This book live up to my expectation. 

"Because she looked like a monster, that's why and it never occurred to me that monsters might feel pain." 


Penryn is a perfect kick-ass heroine with her sword. Paige, I didn't expect what happened to her, I almost cried. Raffe the devastatingly handsome fallen angel, he made me fell in love with him for the second time around. I so admire his sly remarks and sarcasm. This sequel never disappoints me and I don't want to read the last book. :(

The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern

"The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not. Within the black-and-white striped canvas tents is an utterly unique experience full of breathtaking amazement. It is called Le Cirque des Rêves, and it is only open at night."

This book is so fascinating, magical and enchanting. I love the imagery the author uses. The story is slow that's why it took me so long to finished it because this is a character-driven book and every character intrigued me so I kept on reading. Nonetheless, I still recommend this to everyone who loves Fantasy and the intoxicating madness.

Rating: 4 stars/5 stars


I'm kinda messed up right now, listening to audiobook which I tend not to finish. Reading on ebook in which I don't give a fuck. So yeah I'm planning to manage my reading this month and do a TBR jar. :)

June Reading Wrap-up

School just started and being a college student is so hectic and busy but still I've found time to read. This month I've read 3 books, but these books are great and awesome! I've found my new favorite fantasy book to add to my growing favorite books! 

The Battle of the Labyrinth (Percy Jackson and the Olympians #4) by Rick Riordon

"We know what you wrestle with everyday. We know your indecision. You will have to make your choice sooner or later. And that choice mat kill you." - Janus

This book is so awesome! I love how the story goes and the action!! It's not like the last three books which are predictable but this book kept me wondering and anticipating. Every characters are growing up. Tyson my adorable cyclops fight the monsters he's so cool. Nico the son of Hades is still a mystery to me, I admire his courage, braveness and his dark aura. Percy is not annoying me anymore tho I need to see him growing up and making decisions. So far my fave book of the series.

Unwholly(Unwind Dystology #2) by Neal Shusterman

"The bad are bad, the good are good and being caught in between is just an illusion. There is no gray."

Unwholly is kinda boring, the first 300 pages are kinda meh, there's nothing happening but when I reached the page 360 the action kicked in and like a dynamite BOOM! It exploded I was going out of my mind. Lev way to go! Connor please do the right thing! Risa where the hell are you? Damn you Starkey! and Cam please be brave! It started slow but it's good.

Shadow and Bone (Grisha Trilogy #1) by Leigh Bardugo

"You're the first glimmer of hope I've had in a long time." - Darkling

The world, characters and the story are so amazingly written. This book made me shed tears because of joy and heartbreak. It will take you to an incredible journey and the romance GOSH!! It will make you want more and more. I literally flew through it. Alina and Mal is my ultimate OTP <3 

April Wrap-up

These are the books I've read and love for the month of April! YEY! I read 6 books and I'm happy with that. 

"The real monsters are on the real world"

• The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson & The Olympians) by Rick Riordon 

My thoughts
Its a children's book but I love the adventure and truly enjoyed reading it.

• The Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordon

" Everyone has choices to make; no one has the right to take those chances away from us. Not even out of love."

• City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare

My thoughts:

First the plot, the plot is quiet well written, sometimes predictable but exciting. I know what will happen but still I anticipate and continue on reading it. Its quiet addicting :) Second, the characters are awesome I love the Lightwoods. I hate Jace and Clary's relationship. Ugh! Still I love Jace's sarcasm and wittiness. Valentine! Oh Valentine so cool, cruel mad and manipulative. I LOVE HIM! and there's nothing wrong with me.

" I didn't care about than his pain. I more than deserved whatever pain this caused me. I hoped it was bad. I hope I would really suffer"

• Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer

Thoughts

Definitely my favorite book of the series <3

"It was agony to touch a person marked by something so good."

• Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K Rowling

Me when I'm done reading Harry Potter

"Most of life isn't anything. Most of life is just the passing of time and we're even asleep for a fair chunk of that."

Thoughts

I read this because I'm fascinated and curious about mental illness and depression. The Shock of the Fall is so very touching. Its about grief,sadness,loneliness, pain and madness. This book almost made me cry.

Book Recommendation: Angelfall by Susan Ee

"I know from the start that your loyalty would get you killed. I just never thought it would be your loyalty to me that would do it." - Raffe

This book is about a girl who try to survive the post-apocalyptic world with her little sister and not so sane mother. Unfortunately, her sister was captured by an evil angel and plans to get her back with the help of a broken angel Raffe. I love the two main characters on this book. Penryn, the female lead character who really kick-asses from kingdom come and back. She's strong,brave and she makes right and wrong decisions. You"ll love and hate her. I love how she care about her crippled little sister Paige and her feelings to her crazy mother. She also doubt if she is sane enough because of her mother's crazy antics. As Raffe said to her " Your sense of judgement could use a dash of common sense". When it comes to Raffe, he is wise,brave, stubborn and sometimes a jerk but he is gentle to Penryn. I love his sarcasm and his funny remarks with Penryn. I sympathize with him because he's been through thick and thin. He's enemy made him a demon-winged fallen angel. Everyone is afraid of him now even Angels. I pity little Paige. She's only a victim turned to a monster. For me she's doesn't deserve to be like that. She was alive but she's like a dead living demon. 

"Its not the gentle kiss of a couple on a first date, nor is it the kiss of a man driven by simple lust. He kisses me with the desperation of a dying man who believes the magic of eternal life is in his kiss."

There's not much of a romance in the book but their kiss! OMG! Its breathtaking I would do everything just to have a kiss with my Angel Raffe. That passionate kiss *dreamily imagine*  The way Susan writes its amazing its like she put a spell on every words. 

"Once you start reading you can never stop and when the ending comes you"ll cry begging and wanting for more."

★★★★★/ 5 stars

I would recommend it to everyone who loves action and adventure. To everyone who wants to dive in the world full of angel and humans trying to survive the new world. To everyone who wants to fall in love to every character in the book. Definitely, to everyone looking for a good book.
