Wondering what’s going on with Cruel Beauty by Rosamund Hodge

*All reviews I write are spoiler free*

Now with this book, you’d think it’d be proof that I’m catching up on the books I got for Christmas. But I can assure you, I’m not even close yet. I have wayyyyy too many books to catch up on over the past few months.

But at least this is a step in the right direction!

I didn’t actually expect to pick this one up anytime soon, but I’m in a weird book mood. I don’t feel like reading anything, but I still want to read. I’m just finding it really difficult to choose books, because I’m not in the mood for anything. I wouldn’t call it a reading slump, but it’s as close to an explanation I’ll get. But anyway, this caught my eye for the longest while choosing, so this one I have to review today.

So let’s talk about Cruel Beauty!

I finally read the last book in The Lunar Chronicles!

Well, sort of. If you don’t count the novellas in Stars Above.

But I’ll get round to those at some point.

As always, my review will be spoiler free, but since this is the 4th book in a series, the synopsis may contain spoilers for the previous books. There will be a warning just before the synopsis, so if you haven’t read the previous books, just skip ahead to my review.

So let’s talk about Winter!

Cover Reveal: Heartless by Marissa Meyer

heartless cover reveal

GUYS. THERE’S BEEN A COVER REVEAL FOR ONE OF MY MOST ANTICIPATED BOOKS FOR THIS YEAR.

IT’S HERE.

AND IT’S EXCITING.

AND I ACTUALLY DID KNOW THIS WAS HAPPENING WHICH IS WHY THE CAPS LOCK ARE IN ORDER.

No but seriously, I somehow missed that there would be a cover reveal for Heartless today, so when I saw Marissa Meyer’s tweet about it, I sort of freaked out slightly.

So here’s a spontaneous completely-not-planned-on-my-schedule blog post with the cover, and my thoughts!

The Wrath and the Dawn by Renee Ahdieh

The wrath and the dawn

So here we are…my first book review of 2016! I started this one just before the new year and finished it yesterday, and I don’t think I could’ve chosen a better book to lead the new year in.

Plus can I just say I LOVE the cover ❤

The story reminds me of this pendant I have hanging on my wall of a woman smelling a rose (people who have read it will probably know why) so I decided to add it to the photo below.

So now that I’ve rambled on, here’s the review!
