May Wrap Up : 2016



I can't believe May is over already! I read a total of 4 books and 1 graphic novel this month and I am quite happy with that.

Please note that I have been immensely harsh with my ratings because I have been more critical with my reading and I have been trying not to throw around high ratings to books that don't deserve them in my eyes.

Enjoy and happy reading!


 The first book I read this month is Dorothy Must Die by Danielle Paige. 

 I wrote a detailed review on this book which you can view here.

 I really enjoyed this book and I gave it ★★★.5 /5 stars.









I then finished Girl Online: On Tour by Zoe Sugg.

 This was an ok read. Not too bad, but defiantly not the best either. I felt as if this read like a fan-fiction so I read it relatively quickly.

 It was not very original though. I had read a lot of books before with the exact same plot line which was annoying.

 I gave this book ★★★/5 stars.





I picked up Heidi by Johanna Spyri because it had been on my shelf for such a long time and I wanted something quick and easy to read and that is what I got.

 I really did enjoy this children's book. You can see me review for it here.

 I gave this book ★★★/5 stars.







This month I finally got around to the second book of Percy Jackson and the Olympians Series- The Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordon. 

 I loved this! I think I adored this one more than the first book. I am so excited to read the rest of the series! I know it's going to be incredible.

 I gave this book ★★★★/5 stars.







The last book I read this month was actually a graphic novel and it was Saga : Volume Two by Brian K. Vaughan & Fiona Staples.

 I love this graphic novel series so much! I am annoyed that I can't just read them all at once, but they are so expensive! They are so beautiful though. Worth every cent! 

 The story is so captivating and very entertaining! I am extremely eager to get my hands on the rest of this graphic novel series!

 I gave this graphic novel ★★★★★/5 stars!

The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer - Book Review

Image
The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by  Michelle Hodkin Published by   Simon And Schuster  on    September 27th 2011 Genres:   Paranormal, Fantasy, Young Adult, Romance Pages: 452 Goodreads “Thinking something does not make it true. Wanting something does not make it real.”  The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer delivered reality and truth into a supernatural and suspenseful book. Intrigue of Mara Dyer's character came from her being quite mentally unstable due to the accident that she cannot remember which killed her friends and left her alive. This makes Mara an unreliable protagonist and it is almost impossible to tell if what is happening is actually even going on in real life or just inside her head. However, I did find it quite hard to imagine what Mara Dyer physically looked like. I feel like the author did not exactly describe her appearance or even her ancestry (Indian) early on in the book, so I had a picture in my mind th...
