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!

 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! Goodreads synopsis: Aspiring actor August Greene just landed a coveted spot at the prestigious School of Performing Arts in New York.

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?

  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."

Fairest of All by Serena Valentino

Image
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...
