Lets Book Talk: The Selection by Kiera Cass

*** WARNING SPOILER ALERT FOR ALL 5 BOOKS*** 

An Intro to Book Talks... 

  So this is the first book talk I'm doing so bear with me while I figure this all out. Feel free to comment on your thoughts too and start up a conversation about the books. This is what this post is for after all.

Americas Selection: 

Image result for the selectionMaxon or Aspen? 

  Team Maxon all the way!!! He's so sweet and nice! You can really feel the bond between him and America. I just never felt that way with Aspen. 

Celeste 

  Good or bad? What do you think? I loved Celeste by the end of these books. She's like the villain of the story but then you find out about her backstory and then you just love them so much because the backstory is so sad! That reminds me of the Evil Queen from The Land of Stories by Chris Colfer. 

The Northern Rebels 

  Who was surprised that America's dad was a NORTHERN REBLE? *Raises hand*. I can't believe it! He is so nice and loving though and I love that plot twist. The same goes for Kriss. And I just love Georgia. She was so nice and I definitely thought she was going to rat America out when she was hiding in the tree.  

Eadlyn's Selection: 

Hale is gay

  There's nothing wrong with being gay, just saying. Anyway, I was defiantly rooting for Hale the hole time in the selection, until we found out about him and Ian. 

Ekkio wins the selection

  I have to be honest, I wasn't really shipping this relationship. I felt no connection between him and Eadlyn and it felt way too much like insta-love. Honestly, this wasn't the best ending the selection could have had. They went on what? Like three dates? In America's Selection, we got to watch her and Maxons bond keep growing and I could really feel the connection. It's just not the same with Ekkio and Eadlyn. 

Which Selection did I like better?

  America's selection. Her relationship with Maxon felt much more real. While I do love Eadlyn, I felt like she made the wrong choice. I saw no connection between her and Ekkio.

 I got so many new books this month I'm excited to read! About half of the books I got were graphic novels because I've been in a bit of a reading slump lately. Act Cool  by Tobly McSmith Act Cool  is a recent release that looks so good!

August is convinced he can play the part his parents want while acting cool and confident in the company of his talented new friends. But who is August when the lights go down?

Fairest of All by Serena Valentino

Page Count: 250 pages (Hardcover) Published: August 18, 2009 My Rating: 4 stars Series: Villians book 1 Genre: Fantasy   While she may seem like a jealous queen after a young girl's beauty, she is so much more. They may have been logic and heartache behind the Queen's attempts on the sweet girl's life. The Queen struggles with her looks and the trauma from her childhood helps her accept the fact that she must become the fairest of them all.    This is definitely my favorite version of Snow White! From the Queen's early days as a child to her last moments, Serena Valentino took this seemingly innocent fairy tale and turned it into something dark and twisted. This is by far the most heartbreaking story of Snow White ever. At the same time, this book has enough plot twists to keep any reader entertained. You'll never believe who the magic mirror really is!      Even though Snow White has never been my favorite, this is definitely a book I would...
