Review: Eleanor & Park By Rainbow Rowell

This book was absolutely INCREDIBLE!!!!

The story follows these two characters (Eleanor & Park) from the first day they meet. They are both seen as misfits to everyone at school and through some common interests, they eventually fall for each other.

Before I started reading this book, I thought it was going to be a light contemporary read with a cute love story but as I was reading I came to discover that it was so much more than that. The story involves the background of the characters and their lifestyles which I thought gave the book a deeper meaning. I was very surprised with some of the things I came across because there were no hints of them from what I had read in the synopsis which I thought was great as it made the book much more interesting. 

The writing was so flowing and was so easy to understand. I've read one other book by Rainbow Rowell which I also really loved which was “Attachments” so I was happy to see a similar flow in writing in this book. Rainbow Rowell is able to place deep meanings in such short sentences and paragraphs which I find really beautiful.

Review: Legend Trilogy By Marie Lu

Hey Everybody,

Today’s post is a review of a book series that I had just finished and am absolutely in love with, The Legend Trilogy by Marie Lu. I first heard about these books on youtube from a few booktubers. At first I didn’t really think I would enjoy the story from what I heard until I actually saw “Legend” in the store and read the synopsis on the back. From then I was hooked and just wanted to read to see what happens. I feel that there is no clear way to describe this series without giving spoilers but I’ll try.  

In the midst of a war between the two halves of America (The Colonies & The Republics), The series  follows the two main characters (June and Day) who come from two completely different backgrounds.  Both from the same side (Republics); June is raised wealthy and Day is raised struggling.  Their paths cross under unfortunate circumstances but despite their established destinies they continue to be drawn towards one another.

It is a dystopian series that is told from the perspective of both June and Day in the form of rotating chapters. This series is extremely action packed and continues to surprise its readers with each chapter. I know I gave this series a pretty brief synopsis but I feel that’s the best way to go into this series.

LARGEST BOOK HAUL YET!

Hey Everybody,

Today’s post is a MASSIVE Book haul of all the books I’ve bought in the last month (well the ones I haven’t shown yet) and so this post might be a bit longer than my usual posts. I’ll try to be detailed about each book but not ramble on too much. Honestly a lot of these books I bought because of book tubers and so I may not know a lot about them but I’ll try my best. So let’s get started because as you can see from the top photo, we have a lot to get through.

I’ll start off with the books I’m currently reading which many of you may be surprised that I haven’t read yet.

Live Book Talk

Hey Guys,

So i know i haven't written a post in about a week but i've been really busy with work and it is only gonna get busier this coming week.

I will definitely make a post tomorrow about some books i have bought and other things i've been doing which i'm really excited about.

I am also writing this little post, to let you all know that i am doing a live broadcast tonight on Ustream at about 9:30pm EST (Sydney, Australia Time) and hope that i will see some of you there.

I just decided to do this on the spur of the moment, as i feel it will be a fun way to test it out talking about books on video.

I'm still unsure if i want to make youtube videos yet so i'm just testing myself out on Ustream. I used to go on ustream and blogtv all the time and talk about music and books and other random stuff and it was a fun way to talk to people around the world.

I'll be showing some books i bought as well as talking about books i have read lately. I hope you guys can join me :)

So Join the talk :) You can even ask me questions :)
