For the Love of Books
I have yet to read a book in this series I didn't love. Sarah J. Maas is amazing at weaving a complex story with intricate character development and introduction. Each story seems to get more elaborate, drawing the reader in. I was so hooked on this book I stayed up late into the night and ended up finishing it in two days because I didn't want to stop reading, and impatiently waited to recieve the next book.
I was tagged by the wonderful Cait at Cait is Booked to do this tag! Thank you so much for thinking of me Cait! She tagged me a few months back, but better late than never!!
Something that I absolutely adore about this series is how layered it is, and how diverse the world S.J.M. created is. There is a lot of plot twists and unexpected additions in every book thus far, and I feel like that is a mark of an excellent writer.

Hi book dragons! I hope you all have had a wonderful summer. I took a bit of a hiatus the last few months due to some crazy life changes, including getting a dog!! I would like to introduce you all to my baby, Fable!!
I read this book several months ago (which was a bit behind the bandwagon even then) and had a rough review written and accidentally forgot to publish it! Oops! But finally I present to you all my book review of Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda!!!
Hello my book dragons! Last year I thought it would be fun to release a list of books about the environment on Earth Day, and I enjoyed it so much I decided to do it again! I compiled a list of another 25 books to read this Earth Day!
Hello my book dragons! I hope you're all having a wonderful day! I was browsing through a few people's posts and found this Coffee Book Tag on Starlight Book Tales and thought it looked like a lot of fun! So I'm here today, sipping on some coffee in my Harry Potter mug, to answer some fun questions. So grab yourself a cup of joe, sit back and enjoy!
In my previous post, The 4 Things I did to Break My Writer's Block, I mentioned that I reread books as part of getting out of my writing slump. Die for Me was one of the books I decided to try rereading. I first read this book around the beginning of high school and absolutely adored it. I was curious to see if my opinion of the book had changed over the years, or if I still thought it was amazing. When I first read this book, years ago, I would have given it 5 stars and a full on fangirl rant. After rereading it however, I found that it didn't exactly match with my memory.
Hello and happy Saturday! Who here is a Game of Thrones fan? I only recently began watching it (due to many of my friends continuously harassing me - for good reason as I soon learned), and I've already binged through the first 6 seasons! I'm trying to spread out the last season as much as possible, but it is an absolutely addicting show!
