Book Reviews:

Charming as a Verb

Charming as a Verb by Ben Philippe

My Rating: 4.5 stars
Charming as a Verb is such a cute contemporary novel. I loved the main characters witty humor.

The Maze Runner (The Maze Runner, #1)

The Maze Runner by James Dashner

My Rating: 5 stars
The Maze Runner was so suspenseful and I was on the edge of my seat the whole time!

The Scorch Trials by James Dashner

My Rating: 4 stars
The Scorch Trails was kinda a disappointing sequel compared to The Maze Runner. It definitely could have been better.

Love & Olives (Love & Gelato, #3)

Love & Olives by Jenna Evans Welch

My Rating: 5 stars
I loved this book so much! Love and Olives was definitely my favorite book I've reviewed this month.

Fun Bookish Posts:

I didn't nearly as much as I did in the past few months. I was only able to get through 3 physical books- and one of those I switched to an audiobook halfway through. 
  • My Lady Jane by Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows
  • Clap When You Land by Elizabeth Acevedo
  • Reached by Ally Condie
  • Eragon by Christopher Paolini
  • The Death Cure by James Dashner
  • A Dress for the Wicked by Autumn Krause

My reading slump is finally over! After two months, I am back to reading! Right now, I'm currently reading Dear Evan Hansen which I will most likely finish today. What was your favorite book this month? Let me know in the comments!

 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!

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...
