A Day in Bookland

Holy moly, another month that just flies through… and this month I thought I would read less books than previous ones since I had to study for my finals (which I’m still doing because they are the first week of June) but I still managed to read 9 frigging books! 1. The Indigo Spell by Richelle Mead 2. The Forsaken by Lissa. M. Stasse 3. The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight by Jennifer. E. Smith 4. The Warrior by Ty Patterson (Kindle version) 5. This is What Happy Looks Like by Jennifer. E. Smith 6. The DUFF by Kody Keplinger 7. City of Lost Souls by Cassandra Clare 8. Champion by Marie Lu 9. Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini First I picked up The Indigo Spell, the 3 rd book in the Bloodlines series and I loved it so much. I gave it 5 stars. Then I read The Forsaken which was a bit of a disappointment for me. I ended up giving it 2 stars, but if you want to know more about my thoughts, here is my full review:  http://adayinbookla...

"As an obedient orphan of the U.N.A. (the super-country that was once Mexico, the U.S., and Canada), Alenna learned at an early age to blend in and be quiet—having your parents taken by the police will do that to a girl. But Alenna can’t help but stand out when she fails a test that all sixteen-year-olds have to take: The test says she has a high capacity for brutal violence, and so she is sent to The Wheel, an island where all would-be criminals end up. The life expectancy of prisoners on The Wheel is just two years, but with dirty, violent, and chaotic conditions, the time seems a lot longer as Alenna is forced to deal with civil wars for land ownership and machines that snatch kids out of their makeshift homes. Desperate, she and the other prisoners concoct a potentially fatal plan to flee the island. Survival may seem impossible, but Alenna is determined to achieve it anyway". Divergent meets The Maze Runner. That’s how I would describe this book...

April is officially over and with it’s time for another monthly wrap-up! April has been quite a good reading month: 7 books, one play and one novella. Happy me! 1. Legend by Marie Lu 2. Duchess of Malfi by John Webster (included in the Norton Anthology of English Literature) 3. Daimon by Jennifer. L. Armentrout 4. Ruby Red by Kerstin Gier 5. Sapphire Blue by Kerstin Gier 6. The Coldest Girl in Coldtown by Holly Black 7. Emerald Green by Kerstin Gier 8. Prodigy by Marie Lu 9. The Gift of Charms by Julia Suzuki (Kindle version) I started Legend on March but I finished the 1 st of April and I was very happy with the start of this trilogy, very promising. Apart from a few problems it was great so I gave it 4 stars.
