An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir

(MY FACE IS SUPPOSED TO BE CUT OFF BTW😂😂😂)I liked this book. But not as much as I was expecting which was a bit disappointing. I did really like it though. I really liked the characters and the world and the plot and it was all really well put together! 

Laia: You are so strong and so much like your mother. You are beautiful and kind and selfless and incredible. But be cautious, not stupid.

Elias: I love you. You are so sweet and so caring and you are so unique. I can't believe you survived all of that and I'm so proud!

Commandant: Go screw yourself. 

I really liked the world, though I don't think a lot of it was explained so I really wish we had some more of that. But we did get quite a bit and I enjoyed that. All the characters went through incredible development and that I was so in love with. The thing that really peeved me about this book was that for the first 150 pages or so, it was incredibly slow for me. 4.5 stars and a 93% rating! I overall enjoyed it but there are some thing Sabaa could work on. Nice job! 

Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo

Oh wow I loved this book! It would have been a perfect stand alone but HOLY CRAP THERES MORE! And I'm so excited to dive in to the next books! I loved the characters were perfect and the world was so cool and unique and I loved it.

Alina: You are so strong and so loving but OMG YOU CAN KICK SOME BUTT! I love you and I loved going on this ride with you.

Mal: First let me state the fact that we will be getting married tomorrow.. I'm kidding but I loved you and when we got to spend time with you, that was when I was having most fun! Your sweet and loving and I can't even...

The Darkling: I love you but hate you! Wow. You are so cool and so evil and yet so amazing! I wish I would have loved you more BUT THATS NOT MY FAULT! You know I still want you to go screw yourself...

Leigh has created this wonderful world that I couldn't help but love. Her writing style was so neat and unique and so precise! I loved it. I have been doing this a lot lately but that's because there are so many amazing books out there, 5 Stars. 

The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Braken

Yay! Finally! Gosh, I loved this book! Alex has made a wonderful world flu of kick ass characters and a heart breaking world.

To All The Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han

"When I write I hold nothing back." This book was outstanding. The writing style was beautiful and deep and descriptive and so relatable it made me think she was writing about me. The characters were funny and cute and smart and witty and perfect and relatable. And I was hooked from the first page. Ever since I heard the description for this book, I have been wanting it.

Hunted by Abi Ketner and Missy Kalikicki

This book was just as incredible as the last. There were so many twists and turns and gasps and tears and I loved it. Abi and Missy have created this beautiful world that I can't help but jump into. 

Lexi: She is so selfless and loving and strong and I admire her so much for that. I relate to her in the best ways. I love that even though she doesn't like some people, she saves them anyways. I love her for that too.

Cole: So heartfelt and so protective and loving. His feelings for Lexi are so deep and in those moments, made me cry.

Grace: So happy. So optimistic and so strong. I loved her so much and I'm so happy we had her in this story.

Bruno: So funny. He can be so funny but so deep and I love that about him.

Abi and Missy's style of writing is so beautiful. It has this unmistakable detail and is so heartfelt. Over all I loved this book and how it was written! Amazing job guys😊

This book was so incredibly beautiful. The promises the characters made, the love that they felt and the while backstory behind them all was heart wrenching a beautiful. 

Holder was such an ass when he first came into the story. He was so moody and jealous and weird and I wasn't sure I liked him. But then there was this whole other side to him that I couldn't help but fall in love with. He had such passion and love that filled my heart with such joy! He was such a beautiful character.

Sky was so incredibly strong. She was so incredible and so loving. The passion in all these characters were so beautiful. I imagined her as Shailene Woodley. She would be perfect. She's so beautiful and kind and funny and I love her character. I related to the way she felt all the time and that made me feel happy.

Colleens writing style is so beautiful. She fills your heart up with love and passion and joy until it just explodes with emotions and you can't help but notice that your balling on the floor. 

This story was, over all, brilliant. The plot was so clear and so intriguing. I really love this book.

December Wrap Up!

Hello everyone! Today I will be sharing with you all of the books I have read in December!

The first book I read was Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas. I absolutely fell in love with this book! It was filled with such awesome and break - neck action, a heart warming triangle and a thrilling mystery! The last thing is that the main character is an assassin... If that doesn't get you excited to read this book, I DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL! 5 stars.

The second book I read was Just In Case by Meg Rosoff. It was super hard to get into this at first, but once you get about 150 pages in, your definitely in for the ride. Meg Rosoff is one of the most influential authors I have ever read. She teaches me so much about family and love and just how to live and I applaud her so hard for that. She makes me just want to try new things and visit new places and wow. Her writing is. On. Point. 4 1/2 stars.

The third book I have read this month is the Murder Complex by Lindsay Cummings. This book was so awesome. It was so gory and made me think so much, cringe so much (because of the gore) and made me feel so many things at once! It was so unpredictable too and I LOVE that in a book. I was like "Oh this going to - HOLY CRAP WHAT THE HECK????" So... Yea! 5 Stars!

The fourth book I read was My True Love Gave To Me by Various Authors. There are so many authors who wrote this! It is mostly by Stephanie Perkins, but also the authors who wrote the twelve holiday stories. This book was. So. Duper. Cute. All the little romances were so adorable and so heartwarming! It made me feel like I wasn't so lonely! But then I stopped reading and got back into reality. It was so perfect for the holidays. 12 stars (do you get it? Like, 12 holiday stories and... ok)!!

So those are all the books I have read in December, I hope you enjoyed and I will have another post up soon! Bye
