Friday Reads: 24/02/2017

Happy Friday everyone! I am soo glad it's Friday even though I'm working all weekend I needed a break from all the stress that is school!

Tomorrow I am planning on taking some photos for my bookstagram account: @brooklyn.reads on instagram and hopefully I will be able to find some time to read before/after work :)

I am currently listening to the audiobook of Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys and I am really enjoying it. At school I'm studying the Holocaust in history so listening to this book whilst learning about the context around this book in depth in class (plus more) is helping me a lot.

I have also joined a book club at school and for our first read we are reading Dracula by Bram Stoker. I am only up to chapter 3, but I am loving it and can't wait to continue.

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend filled with lots of reading and SLEEEEEP!!

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...
