All Your Perfects

By Colleen Hoover

A powerful and deeply emotional story *sigh* The writing is honest, it feels a bit like peeling the skin over your soul and leaving the wound open for everyone to see. The book has some silly, happy moments to soften the ache, but also dark and twisted moments that can both leave you shaking your head with disapproval and make…

Lumatere Chronicles (the complete trilogy)

Lumatere Chronicles

By Melina Marchetta

This story seems to sing to me – a song of a magical time and a magical land, a song of both love and despair, a song so sad and beautiful that could cut one’s heart in two. The Lumatere chronicles is one of the most wonderful stories you can find, with gorgeous prose and amazing characters. In fact, at…

An Absolutely Remarkable Thing

By Hank Green

I have no idea what I’ve been reading here, but I kind of liked it. This book is about a lot of things, it’s a SF, but it’s more about fame, social media and the human nature. In a way it works with the previous book I’ve read, as it shows humanity degrading at times, in a different way…

Dry

By Jarrod Shusterman

I wanted to say that (Neal) Shusterman is the king of – incredibly realistic – dystopian stories, but then I realised there are two of them now, so I’ll just let them reign over the fandom the way they like. After all, I’m only here to rave about this story, another gem I was delighted to read. Dry is what…

Even If I Fall

By Abigail Johnson

A story about broken pieces with sharp edges. A story about the aftermath of tragedy, about a family that will never be the same, about people who suffer in silence when there’s so much more to say. It gives me shivers to think of that night, as it didn’t feel like only one life ending. We follow Brooke not only…

Build me a time-machine
[The Undercurrent]

In The Midnight Cup of Coffee

Yesterday, please!.. Truth being told, I am always extremely eager to read books that are miles months/years away, no matter how many books I own and I need to read in the present moment. For example… Today I read the newsletter from Paula Weston announcing her next book. It only mentioned a title and I started hyperventilating nonetheless.

The Last Time We Say Goodbye

By Cynthia Hand

Heartbreakingly beautiful! Do you know the feeling you get while and after you hold your breath for long? How time seems to stop for a while, how your heart beats faster and faster, how sharp everything becomes after the fuzziness washes over? This is how this book feels like. And it is wonderful, and dangerously heartbreaking.

Reading (at least one of) Marchetta’s stories should be one of the “10 things to do in your lifetime”.

Unravelling

Book #1 in Unraveling Series

By Elizabeth Norris

Elizabeth Norris, “I fucking love you”! If I had to describe this book in only one word I would say “incredible”, but if I had more words to play around I would say something along these lines: “Mind-blowing, heartbreaking with a pinch of humor and an action/suspense overdose… all in the best possible way. Keep both eyes on…
