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…

One of Us is Lying

By Karen M. McManus

There are books that keep me up all night. You know that feeling when you want to read faster than light, eager to see how things end, but in the same time you want to keep a very slow pacing such that you can savour each word, each character, each turnaround? “One of Us is Lying” was all that and…

The Other Side of Lost

By Jessi Kirby

I had the following note on Goodreads, from before reading the book: “I have no idea what this story is about, but… as I loved all her other stories, this one is such a big MUST! Can’t wait to get my hands on it!” Now that I know ALL about it, I can say that “The Other Side of Lost” is…

Strange the Dreamer

Book #1 in Strange the Dreamer Series

By Laini Taylor

There are books that seem to live in the depths of my heart. Books that I breathe in and never breathe out, books that seem to take control over my emotions entirely, books that get tattooed on the edges of my soul because I never want to let them go. And I never want to let go of this story……

Vicarious

Book #1 in Vicarious Series

By Paula Stokes

I am in awe! Let’s make things clear from the beginning. I loved The Art of Lainey, it was romantic and cute and so much fun.. but this one here, this is even better. So dark, so twisted, so amazing! Such a fantastic read, I can’t wait for book two and I can’t recommend it enough! I love,…

Crooked Kingdom

Book #2 in Six of Crows Series

By Leigh Bardugo

I love a good fantasy, but always since the Lumatere Chronicles and Daughter of Smoke and Bone I’ve had a very hard time finding one on my liking. It’s difficult when the bar is set so high. But this tricky little series was just what I needed to fall in love again, with its dark settling and those…

Words in Deep Blue

By Cath Crowley

This is your next favourite book. You just don’t know it yet ^_^ “Words in Deep Blue” is both a love story and, in between, fairly a drama. The voices whispering it are humorous though full of sorrow. The characters are broken and, against all odds, still whole. My eyes are now both joyful and tearful after finishing reading it. When I…

Tell the Truth, Shame the Devil

By Melina Marchetta

You don’t measure a Marchetta book in number of stars. Maybe in entire constellations, if you really feel like counting. I’ve been staring at my laptop for a long time, trying to catch my breath, hoping to be able to put into words my love for this book and this author. But when she writes with such passion…

This Savage Song

Book #1 in Monsters of Verity Series

By Victoria Schwab

Be careful, this song might get right to your soul! It’s hard to put into words all the emotions I felt while and after reading this book. So, let’s do this instead… Think of your top favourite song, listen to it in your mind, let it fill your heart with passion, let it vibrate through your veins. Is your skin…

Six of Crows

Book #1 in Six of Crows Series

By Leigh Bardugo

I did not read The Grisha trilogy. Are you ok with that? Then I’m going to say that I loved this book from the bottom of my heart to the edge of yours and back. Long story short, because my young bundle of joy doesn’t let me stay away from him for too long, the Six of Crows is…

Burn

Book #4 in The Rephaim Series

By Paula Weston

Love. Nightmares. Angels. War. This book has left me (like all the books in the series) with a fluttering feeling deep in my heart, like the touch of an angel’s wings – such a perfect ending to an even more perfect story! I just fell in love. For the fourth time. With this series. With these characters. I can’t read…

Cracked

Book #1 in Soul Eaters Series

By Eliza Crewe

Probably the best new voice in the YA literature. I simply loved this girl’s wittiness and the story itself was just as great! Simply fabulous! About the book I didn’t get the chance to talk about it when I finished reading it and it’s a shame, really, because it was such an entertaining story. It kept me laughing and laughing…

An Ember in the Ashes

By Sabaa Tahir

Did you ever feel the need to actually hug a book, to hold it close to your heart? Did you ever feel that a book was somehow meant for you? Did you ever hear its gentle call? Because I did.. I love reading with a passion and there are books like AN EMBER IN THE ASHES that are absolutely perfect (In each. And every. Way!),…

UnSouled

Book #3 in Unwind Dystology Series

By Neal Shusterman

It's official, this is one of the best dystopian story I've ever had the honour to read! To be this connected with the characters, this emotionally invested in the story, this awestruck with the world building and the amazing, mind-blowing plot.. It feels like a gift, there's no better feeling in the reading world ...

The Geography of You and Me

By Jennifer E. Smith

You might have noticed by now that I love emotional stories. You know, those books that make me smile until my face hurts, but that can also make my soul ache just a little bit. This is in fact what I like about reading, in general – because it takes me through so many emotions in only a few…

This Shattered World

Book #2 in Starbound Series

By Amie Kaufman

THIS SHATTERED WOLRD does not give you time to think about it, you just dive into it and stop breathing until you reach the last page. But trust me, you will feel like you’ve reached that one way too soon. I, for one, could never have enough of this story ...

The Archived

Book #1 in The Archived Series

By Victoria Schwab

Wow, it will probably haunt me even in my dreams. I finished reading it and all I could think of was: how amazingly-beautiful the writing was, how imaginative the world, how full of emotion the main character.. Absolutely wonderful! Incredibly touching! “The Archived” tells a story of terrible loss – not necessary by the nature of it, but by the echoes…

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.

Tin Lily

By Joann Swanson

Such a beautiful book! The wonderful prose, the emotional story, the great characters.. It touched my heart, really. This book is absolutely incredible and I feel honoured to have it on my ‘favourite’ shelf. The story is dark, but also hopeful, it is a triller but also with a psychological touch, it talks about trauma but also about healing, it…

Home is Where You Are

By Tessa Marie

I wanna hug this book! This story has found a soft spot in my heart and it simply decided to call it ‘home’. I love it when it happens, when I don’t expect much but I fall hard for a story, when the characters are so adorable that I want to take them home with me. And this book here…

Dark Triumph

Book #2 in His Fair Assassin Series

By Robin LaFevers

Now we’re talking! This is what an assassin’s story should look like, this is what I expected from the assassin-nuns concept I’ve been sold the first time around 😀 DARK TRIUMPH is one of the best sequels out there, as it takes the story further and so it develops into something wonderful, something beautifully dark. “It is a good thing…

Beautiful, imaginative, seductive, addictive. This story always leaves me breathless and begging for more. Aaaaarh, such a wonderful frustration! I must confess that this series is killing me slowly, because how in the world am I going to wait for god-knows-how-long until the last one comes out? It’s not like this is a more cruel ending (you know the…

Dreams of Gods and Monsters

Book #3 in Daughter of Smoke & Bone Series

By Laini Taylor

I do believe in magic: the magic of words. And Laini Taylor might as well have pure magic on the tip of her fingers, as that’s how enchanted I am by her story. This series is just too wonderful for words, absolutely mesmerising! And I could never recommend it enough. “Once upon a time,an angel and a devil pressed their hands…

He + She

Oh, how I loved this book, how it melted my heart! Beautiful. Heartwarming. Funny. Romantic. Crazily cute. Emotional. Perfect. That’s all He+She is… and more.

The Forever Song

Book #3 in Blood of Eden Series

By Julie Kagawa

Such a wonderful ending to an amazing series! Such a rush, such a tremendously touching carousel of emotions. This story has.. everything: edge gripping action, mind-blowing turnarounds, laughing out-loud humour and a bit of a heartbreak every now and then. What more can one expect from a book, huh? Saying goodbye to these characters feels so wrong, it actually pains…

Book #3 in Lunar Chronicles Series

I have a really hard time explaining you just how much I love this series, how incredibly great it is (from the beautiful writing, to the amazing pack of characters, the laughing-out-loud kind of humour and the fascinating world and the too-awesome-to-be true plot-line) This being said..

Through the Ever Night

Book #2 in Under the Never Sky Series

By Veronica Rossi

To talk about this book.. Well I could write another novel about it, to be honest, as there are so many things to speak of – all of them great, be assured. It was just as beautiful as the first one! The world as dangerous, the characters just as fleshed out, also it felt like there was even more action than…

On the Fence

By Kasie West

That's it, I found a book I want to live in! For me this book was perfect: perfectly-awesome dynamics, perfectly-sweet romance and just a perfectly-bit of sadness to make up for the perfectly-amazing 'giggleness'. Yes, I am a also a 'perfect' dork in love with romantic stories, but what can I say? I just loved this story so very much!…

Under The Never Sky

Book #1 in Under the Never Sky Series

By Veronica Rossi

I really don't know why it took me so long to get to this wonderful story. It's incredible: unique, with fleshed out characters, with a confusing intrigue that only gets more interesting with each page, and a world built so wonderfully - half fantasy, half dystopia, a great mix that left me in awe. Well..

These Broken Stars

Book #1 in Starbound Series

I went into it blindly, not reading a thing about it. I…

I need to give a very big thanks to Marissa for this wonderful story, as it made my ‘sick in bed’ day not only bearable, but quite great considering the situation… You really can’t imagine the immensity of addictiveness that comes with this story… I’d give a cyborg foot to have the next book now, LOL!…

Book #1 in Lunar Chronicles Series

Do you believe in love at first.. read?

By Marie Lu

This is one of the best conclusions to a series! The very best. *wiping tears* Seriously! And it felt so ..right, you know?

The action, the suspense, the dramatic romance, the bittersweet ending… every moment and every page, every single word in this book..

Seeing Light

Book #3 in The Seraphina Parrish Trilogy Series

By Michelle Warren

After all this time, I am still unsure if I will be able to make justice to this book, as it’s so amazing I can barely put my feelings into words. I will try though, hopefully my mind has cleared a bit of all this awesomeness and I can write down something more than “wow”, even though this is…

Legend: Collector’s Edition

Legend

By Marie Lu

Reading the first pages of this book about how this story came to be, about how Day came to exist, and peeking into Marie’s thoughts made me shiver a bit. Really! It must give her such a nostalgic feeling to look back at all those bumpy roads she had to take until her story came to life. It must…

Torched

By Andrea Colt

This is how I ended up with this lovely story all wrapped around my soul: you know, it's crazy because I never read what/when I'm supposed to; I let my heart pick the books to read all while my mind screams at me that I have no discipline... Well, let's say there's a lot of inside-shouting involved and we'll leave…

Book #2 in The Rephaim Series

One of the best sequels so far… It’s been a while since the last time I was so lost into a story that I couldn’t put it down. It’s been quite a while since I first read the first book in the series too, but it didn’t feel like time has passed at all. I could easily pick it up…

All Our Yesterdays

Oh my! This is what a true time travel story should be about!

It was absolutely AMAZING! It blew my mind, of course…

This book took my breath away! Jessi Kirby doesn't play with words, she plays with emotions. Her stories don't have complicate plots, but subtle ones.

What an AMAZING story! It’s a bit unusual for me to like more the second book in a series, but as much as I liked Legend it will never compare with this lovely book… Because, you see, Prodigy is simply (and amazingly) good: great characters, strong world building, a lot more action and an amount of…

Book #2 in Fated Series

You see, this is what I love on a series: for the second book to be better than the first one; for it to grab my attention, to keep me on the edge of the seat waiting to see what new surprise will come next; for it to break my heart a bit, to make me feel all different emotions from…

This story took my breath away! If there is a book that I can read with my eyes filled with tears and my heart full of happiness, it is one of Marchetta's stories.. Her words 'sing' to us [...] - it's a symphony of joy, sorrow, fear, hate, love.. and hope.

In a way I was… because…

By Andrew Smith

“Heartbreak” – that’s how they call it. This is how I feel now, this is what this book might cause to you too. It should come with a note saying: ‘open at your own risk’ or ‘put your heart aside because it might shatter’. It should come with a happy pill for you to take, it should come…

I might need to change my rating system for this book to be given only 5 stars.. Also i need some time to sort out my feelings (between both overwhelming joy and sadness) and come up with a proper review, because i have lots of “wow”s in my mind right now, but i fear that it might not be…

Poison Study

Book #1 in Study Series

By Maria V. Snyder

I picked up this book last night. It was late and I couldn’t sleep. I didn’t intend to read it all, but just a bit, just a chapter or two, to clear my mind. Oh, what a terrible mistake 😀 What I didn’t know is that you can’t read just a bit of it. This book…

Divergent

Book #1 in Divergent Series

By Veronica Roth

First Thoughts: Wow… Such a great story.. They told me it was good.. I think it’s better. Review: Oh, every time I tried to write a proper review for this book (and you have the proof right in front of you, because I gave up trying) it had something to do with ‘The Hunger Games’ – I blame…

You Against Me

By Jenny Downham

“It was strange how words meant something when they came out of your mouth. Inside your head they were safe and silent, but once they were outside, people grabbed hold of them.” I wanted to read this book from the moment I heard about it.. But, while waiting for it to be published, I read Before…

Where She Went

Book #2 in If I Stay Series

By Gayle Forman

When I found out that this book will be all about Adam I was absolutely thrilled. To be honest, I liked better his point of view, his stories, the way the accident changed his life, his personality and more than that I liked the way the author had portrayed ‘fame’ and the way it changed Adam. It felt like…

Not That Kind of Girl

By Siobhan Vivian

This book was as beautiful as the cover. I loved it! “You see, the best thing about wrong decisions is that they don’t prevent you from making the right decisions later on. It’s harder, but it’s not impossible.” The cover I’ve been waiting to read this book from the moment I first saw the cover. Look at it.

Finnikin of the Rock

Book #1 in Lumatere Chronicles Series

By Melina Marchetta

Wonderful, amazing, beautiful, absolutely brilliant… I need more stars! ★★★★★★★★★★ This was such a powerful story that got straight to my heart.

Across the Universe

Book #1 in Across the Universe Series

By Beth Revis

“A love out of time. A spaceship built of secrets and murder.” First – the cover is absolutely gorgeous (at least I love it) and this is what made me want to read this book.. And so the myth saying that a book with a great cover is always horrible is busted (just) for the moment ;)) Second,…

Timeless

Book #1 in Timeless Series

By Alexandra Monir

First impression: I’ve heard about loving a book from the very first page, but I’ve never felt this way before. Not until now… “There is nothing in this life that can destroy you but yourself. Bad things happen to everyone, but when they do, you can’t just fall apart and die. You have to fight back. If you don’t,…

The Education of Hailey Kendrick

By Eileen Cook

★★★★★ Funny, funny, funny, love it, love it, love it… So, I must confess that the story itself is not memorable (but it is as sweet as honey.. I mean not that sweet, I don’t like honey.. maybe as sweet as ice cream or chocolate. Oh, I love M&M’s, so I would say as sweet as those but it is…

The Adoration of Jenna Fox

Book #1 in Jenna Fox Chronicles Series

By Mary E. Pearson

“Some things aren’t meant to be known. Only believed.” I love to read good books. This is one of them. I was a bit suspicious about it after seeing that the reviews were not that great, so I was a bit afraid to read it.. I love surprises too. If you want a lot of action, this is…

Jellicoe Road

By Melina Marchetta

Oh, this is a hard book to review and I know that I won’t make it justice so I won’t even try that much. One word: awesome! Why? Because it is so complex and beautiful, and the characters are amazing and smart and funny, and the drama is not overwhelming (oh, well… it is, but in a good way), and…

Anna and the French Kiss

Book #1 in Anna and the French Kiss Series

By Stephanie Perkins

‘Oh heavens’… this book was hilarious!! I loved reading it (twice) and I would read it again simply because it is too cute for words! It reminded me of myself in high school, and it really felt natural, real.. I can’t even tell you what an amazing pleasure reading this book was. And it’s so, so funny, my face…

Awakened

Book #1 in The Guardian Legacy Series

By Ednah Walters

From time to time I find a book that I really-really like, with some characters that I really-really love, and this is one of those. As I said, books with ‘almost naked teenagers’ on the cover are not my type at all, but now I am glad that I didn’t mind that when I’ve decided to read this…

Catching fire

Book #2 in The Hunger Games Series

By Suzanne Collins

The second book in “The Hunger Games” trilogy had even more action than the first one. It started a bit slow with all the boys drama, and at one point I was really annoyed by Katniss’s atitude because she didn’t know what she wanted and kept hurting people, but after a while the games were back and…

The Hunger Games

Book #1 in The Hunger Games Series

By Suzanne Collins

One of the best books i’ve read. Great job Suzanne Collins! When you love and hate something in a book with ALL your heart you realize how great that book really is, because it has to be really special for you to get to feel all these mixed feelings and still say that it deserves not only 5 stars, but…

The Body Finder

Book #1 in The Body Finder Series

By Kimberly Derting

Isn’t Jay the perfect boyfriend ever? 😀 I just LOVED the romance in this book. It felt real for once, you get know why Vi loved Jay – and it was not just a silly crush over his messy hair, or deep eyes or any other thing like that – and you get to love him too for being such…

The DUFF

By Kody Keplinger

This was such a nice book! It was a fun read since the very begining. I loved the brief discusion between Bianca and Wesley, it was fun and entertaining. Also I loved the way both characters changed (so slowly) through the story – they started by hating each other (or at least Bianca says she did), then…

Unwind

Book #1 in Unwind Dystology Series

By Neal Shusterman

Unwind has been my first dystopian story (if I remember well). To be honest, I could go back and underrate so many books I’ve read over the past years, because after re-reading this one I know for sure: there is no place for them on the same shelf as ‘Unwind’. It totally blew my mind – then and now.

Nevermore

Book #1 in Nevermore Series

By Kelly Creagh

Even though I am not usually into this kind of paranormal stories, and the goth things are not my type either, Nevermore had something really special that kept me reading from the first page to the last one (and wanting for more). The story seems simple in the beginning...

Return to Paradise

Book #2 in Leaving Paradise Series

By Simone Elkeles

Sweet, fun, entertaining.. I’m glad I read it! After reading “Leaving paradise” I was so disappointed that I didn’t really want to read the sequel. The first book started so damn good but it was just ok by the middle (except some good parts), and then it ended in such a hurry – I understand why, but i still don’t…

Perfect Chemistry

Book #1 in Perfect Chemistry Series

By Simone Elkeles

I loved it!It’s hard to rate a book that you love a lot, that made you laugh until your cheeks hurt, that made you feel like a teenager again, giggling like a fool at every scene between the 2 main characters, wishing for the next installment to come really quick.. and this book did all this very well.

Two-Way Street

By Lauren Barnholdt

I love it when I find a book that surprises me as much as “Two-way Street”. It’s one of those books that you can’t let go until you finish reading it, and then you want to read it all over again...

The Host

The Host

By Stephenie Meyer

"You never know how much time you'll have." I give this book 5 stars because is just such an amazing book. I really, really love it! At first sight it looks like it's a book about aliens, but in reality is a book about human kind, and it's questioning how much humanity remains in us all.
