My New Bookshelves!

I recently decided (for what reason I still don't know) to get different bookshelves. If you've been following my booktube channel then you would have seen the four different videos, which documents me buying, building, organizing, and reorganizing my bookshelves.

These videos will be below, as well as pictures of the final product.

Even though I really didn't need them, I love my new bookshelves and the new set up.

Hope you enjoy the videos and pictures!

Buy This Book   
Book 3 in The Lunar Chronicles.  
Pages: 550
Published: Feb 2014
Genres: YA, Fantasy, Romance

Goodreads Synopsis... 
Rapunzel’s tower is a satellite. She can’t let down her hair—or her guard.

In this third book in the bestselling Lunar Chronicles series, Cinder and Captain Thorne are fugitives on the run, with Scarlet and Wolf in tow. Together, they’re plotting to overthrow Queen Levana and her army.

Their best hope lies with Cress, who has been trapped on a satellite since childhood with only her netscreens as company. All that screen time has made Cress an excellent hacker—unfortunately, she’s just received orders from Levana to track down Cinder and her handsome accomplice.

When a daring rescue goes awry, the group is separated. Cress finally has her freedom, but it comes at a high price. Meanwhile, Queen Levana will let nothing stop her marriage to Emperor Kai. Cress, Scarlet, and Cinder may not have signed up to save the world, but they may be the only ones who can.

Review...
I loved this book, which was to be expected because I loved the first two. Cress was just such a joy to read, its one of those books that just makes me happy while reading it, and sad when it ends. Its fast paced, action packed and full of romances I cant help but root for. 

The character Cress was smart, sweet, and so darn adorable. I loved seeing Scarlet and especially Cinder again. And all the characters were fun and interesting to hear about. It was also really interesting to be able to get some insight into Levana, and what she thinks. Im excited to delve deeper into her character in the next book.

The only negative things I have to say, is that I wanted more Cinder. I really enjoy the idea of each new book, introducing a new character. But I yearn for Cinder scenes. Her plot line is definitely the one that interests me the most, and her romance makes me happiest of all. As well as this, I felt like the romance in Cress, and the suggested one for Winter; that was touched on in this book. Are coming just a little bit too easily. It seems like everyone has a perfect match just waiting for them, which leaves the romances to simple and uncomplicated. And romance should and normally is very, very complicated.

I still really enjoyed the book, and the things I didn't like were negligible compared to how much fun it was to be caught up in this story and world. Now begins the wait for the final book Winter. And just like the Stark's I will recite constantly and fervently, that winter is coming! 

5/5

Book of the Week: Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell

This week is a love story like no other. I've not heard a bad word said about Rainbow Rowell, or any of her books. This will be my first book by her, and I look forward to seeing what it has to offer.

I love the simplicity of the cover, and I LOVE the simple font, and the '&' thats made out of earphones.

Book of the Week: Cress by Marissa Meyer

Rapunzel (or in this case Cress) let down your hair! So we may hear the awesome, fast-paced, fantasy story you have to tell.

Cress by Marissa Meyer, is the third book in the Lunar Chronicles series. Each book is an adaptation of a different fairytale, this one being about a girl named Cress who is living on a satellite. Although each book has a different story to tell, it is still a continuous series in a dystopian world. And so in this third book, we have Cinder (Cinderella) and Scarlet (Red Ridding Hood) continuing their story as well.

I love this series, and recommend it to everyone. Also this cover is definitely my favourite so far!

Dragoneye Reborn #1
Pages: 544
Published: Jan 2008
Genres: Fantasy, Adventure, Magic

Synopsis... 
This book is about Eon, who is a one of the candidates to becoming an apprentice for one of the 12 energy dragons. Using Dragon magic, and becoming a Dragoneye, is one of the highest positions in the land. But there are some obstacles in Eons way. Firstly that he is a cripple, trying to persuade everyone but more importantly a dragon that he is worthy of using dragon magic. Secondly that he is actually a girl, who has been pretending to be a boy for years. And if anyone finds out Eon is actually Eona, she will be killed, as females are forbidden to use dragon magic.

Review...
Let me just start off by saying... DRAGONS!!! I love dragons, and that was enough to get me to buy and read this book. But there are so many more reasons you should read Eon. First of all the suspense. I could not sit still reading this book, I was pacing and standing. And generally just all over the place waiting to see what would happen. Reading as fast as I could, but not skimming. 

Secondly the plot, and how unique and unpredictable it was. This is one of the reasons there was so much suspense. Because the plot was so unexpected, you never knew what was coming next. It was so refreshing to step out of the predictable and into the crazy amazing story that Eon is.

Along with a great plot, came very detailed and elaborate world building. I felt immersed in this world, not only because of the descriptions of the setting. But also because of the explanations of the culture and practices in this world. The culture and politics were so well thought out, and there were very few holes in this story and in its world building.

I definitely recommend this book, and just to reiterate. DRAGONS!

5/5
