A Song Below Water by Bethany C. Morrow

My rating: 2 stars

Series: A Song Below Water book 1

I was so excited about the release of this book, but unfortunately, it was so disappointing. I wanted to love this one so badly, but unfortunately, I ending up DNFing it.

My review

War Storm by Victoria Aveyard

My rating: 4 stars

Series: Red Queen book 4

I finally finished the Red Queen series this month! Out of the whole series, book 1 was my favorite, but War Storm was still really good.

My review

Don't Tell the Nazis by Marsha Forchuk Skypuch

My rating: 3 stars

I liked Don't Tell the Nazis much more than I thought I was going to.

My review

Divergent by Veronica Roth

My rating: 3 stars

Series: Divergent book 1

After much peer pressure from my friends, I finally gave in and read Divergent. The romance in this book sucked, but the plot was pretty good.

My review

Take Me Home Tonight by Morgan Matson

My rating: 5 stars

When I first saw this book, it reminded me of that old song "Take Me Home Tonight." I'm so happy I picked this book up because it was chalked full of theatre references!

My 5 Favorite Quotes From Clap When You Land

-

  Clap When You Land  was an amazing novel. On top of that, Elizabeth Acavado's writing was beautiful.  5 "The whole time she swallowed her words like bitter pills not realizing that they were slow dripping poison." 4 "Papi was a man split in two playing a game against himself But the problem with that is in order to win, you always lose" 3 "A queen offers her hand to be kissed, & can form it into a fist while smiling the whole damn time" 2 You do not let your words stunt unknown possibilities." 1 "Fight until you can't breathe, & if you have to forfeit you forfeit smiling, make them think you let them win." About Clap When You Land Camino lives in the Dominican Republic. Yaraha lives in New York City.  The two girls have never met but they have one thing in common: their father.

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 be willi

Bloom by Kevin Panetta

 Ari can't wait to move to Baltimore with his friends. He wants nothing more than to get out of his small seaside town. If only his dad would let him quit his job at the family bakery. While interviewing possible candidates, Ari meets Hector, an easy-going guy who loves baking. As the two work together in the bakery, love starts to bloom. Bloom was an adorable graphic novel. Also, the art in this graphic novel was great! If you looking for two soft boys falling in love, look no farther than Bloom.  Ari absolutely stole my heart away! He was so cute. Ari and Hector were made for each other. They had such a cute, fluffy romance. Both of the main characters were flawed in a way that was... different from other books. Does that make sense? I liked that they never really "fixed" their flaws. They embraced what was wrong with each other. Apart, Hector and Ari were complete messes. Together though, they seemed to complete each other while highlighting their faults. The first hal
