Anna And The French Kiss- Stephanie Perkins

I've been reading a lot of Dystopian  and fantasy books, so in honor of Spring Break I decided to read a contemporary book! I have heard so many amazing things about this book from friends, book tube and other blogs.

Anna is from Atlanta she loves her life, her best friend Bridgette is there and her crush Toph. Toph is starting to like her back when her fathers decides to send her t a boarding school in Paris for her senior year. Anna doesn't speak French but she meets some pretty amazing people Merdith, Josh, Rashmi and St.Clair. Her and St.Clair become best friends but he's taken and she might be too.

I loved this book even though it was a tad cheesy. I adored how it took place in Paris and how you actually learned some history about some major places in Paris. I found the romance so adorable is that an odd way to describe it, it did get a little intense. I honestly loved how she went to a pretty odd messed up private school, like what private school has girls and guys dorming in the same building? One thing I found really relieving is that the romance isn't like "Hey your hot, wanna sleep together" it was more realistic how they started off as friends,, the problems they had were very typical and relatable except for the twist with St.Clair. I will admit some of the names were hard to say, but when I was reading this book it almost felt like I was watching a movie and t.v show that's how easy it was to visualize which I found immensely helpful in enjoying the story more. I think Stephanie did an amazing job and I am definitely going to try to get my hands on some of her other books. I would give this book a 4.5 out of 5

Unravel Me-Tahereh Mafi

Wow I seriously LOVE this series so far. I'm obsessed with the characters and I'm officially team Aaron and maybe team Kenji. But I'm not so into Adam anymore. I love Tahereh's writing style it's so beautiful and the idea for this book is so original and unique.

Juliette escaped from The Reestablishment and now she's at Omega Point and she's free. But Juliette will never ever be free of her lethal touch and Warner who wants her more than anything. Juliette is faced to make a difficult choice, between her heart and Adam's life.

This book was so lovely and I liked it more than the 1st book. In Unravel Me you got to see a side of Warner that you didn't see in the 1st book and now I'm a tad bit smitten with Warner. I don't care if he's murderer or whatever, he can be fixed because he slowly gets fixed a little every time he's with Juliette and I want Warner and Juliette to become a thing, because there so cute together. And I typical fall for the bad boys so <3. I would so highly recommend you read this book. I give it 5 out of 5 stars.

Throne Of Glass- Sarah J. Maas

I loved this book so much, I found myself immersed in this other world that I loved. The main character Celaena was so strong and determined, she was also an assassin but she was such an amazing main character who I never found annoying. I also loved how this book was written and I never saw the twists coming that did happen. It wasn't predictable at all which is why I loved it.

So in this world magic has been banned. and Celaena an assassin is called to the castle to compete in a competition to become the kings champion, who is basically the person who will kill people for the king. There's 23 people competing but she has a lot to lose. She survived in a death camp and her name is only said in harsh whispers but if she loses she will be sent back to the death camp. The crown prince will provoke her, the captain of the guard will protect her and she will befriend an princess. But something evils is dwelling in the castle killing the competitors. Celaena must stop fighting for freedom and start fighting for survival.

I enjoyed this book so much, and I loved how the main character Celaena didn't give up everything for the guys, she was there to fight for freedom and that was it. I was really happy my version of the book had a how to pronounce section because some of the words were very difficult to pronounce. I must say I love the romance in this series that happened in this book. It wasn't instant, it was slow and steady how it would be in real life, but I'm on side Chaol he's a little ruff and tuff where as Dorian is a little more tame or book sweet. I all around loved this book so much I have to give it 5 out of 5 anything less would be a lie.

Eve And Adam-Michel Grat and Katherin Applgate

Eve And Adam
This book is told in 3 points of view Evenings, Solo's and Adams which you don't read till the second have.
Evening was thinking about an apple when the vehicle hit her, She wakes up in a hospital room with her mom arguing with the doctor that she needs to be moved to HER research facility, evening finds out her leg had fallen off, the doctor had been able to put it back on but her chance of it fully healing was slim. Evening's mother gives her a task 'create the perfect boy'.
Solo didn't know if Terra Spikers daughter would be anything like her, and she wasn't. Solo lived the last 6 years of his life in The Spiker Facility why? because Terra had been his legal guardian every since his parents died 6 years ago. He's ready to out Terra but Evening gets in his way.
Adam doesn't have any memories he's exactly like Evening made him, he's the perfect guy just not perfect for Evening.
I really did enjoy this book I loved how it was such a unique story line, something I've never read about. But the romance part was a little cheesy, girl gets perfect guy but doesn't want him she wants someone a little less perfect. But I still enjoyed it none the less. I found it to be a very easy read there wasn't really a deep hard to grasp plot. I really enjoyed the whole playing God spectrum, and I like how it was sorta based around Adam and Eve. And how everything goes to hell because of one apple.

I give this book a 4.5 out of 5 mainly because I just enjoyed it.

Zombie Apocalypse Tag

I found this blog version and am really excited to do it.
Pick 5 books (preferably ones you’ve read or know the characters).

1. Write the name of the books on pieces of paper.
2. Put the pieces of paper in a hat or container.
3. Pull one piece of paper out to choose your first book.
4. Open to a random page and use the first name you see to answer question 1 (under “Your Zombie Team”).
5. Use the same book for question 2, but turn to a different page.
6. Pull one piece of paper out to choose your second book.
7. You will use your second book to answer questions 3 and 4.
8. Your third book will answer questions 5 and 6.
9. Forth book with answer questions 7 and 8.
10. The fifth book will answer questions 9 and 10.

The books I chose where Obsidian, Poison Princess, Cinder, I'll Be There and Throne Of Glass. These are the questions i'll be answering after I write these books on a piece of paper and draw out.

  The first book is Cinder, the second Posion Princess third I'll be there 4thThrone of glass and fifth is Obsidian.

1. Who is the first person to die? Cinder i'm actually quite mad about this she would have been so useful
2. Who is the person you trip to get away from the zombies? Prince Kai, he wouldn't have helped out anyways.
3. Who is the first person to turn into a zombie? Selena I don't have anything to say about that
4. Who is the person that trips YOU to get away from the zombies?  Matthew, it seems very unlikely that would happen.
5. Who is the idiot of the team? Emily, again she's quite smart so I don't think it would be possible
6. Who is the “brains” of the team? Sam. I'm very glad about this actually because he knows how to survive which is great.
7. Who is the team’s medic? Celaena it could be good but also could be bad.
8. Who is the weapons expert? Chaol. Yes I think I could kick some zombie ass with him.
9. Who is the brawler? Dee. So unlikely
10. Who is the Team Captain? Daemon I'm cool with that.

I know this probably wasn't as cool as the video but I found to do.

Inhuman- Kat Falls

Inhuman by Kat Falls
Wow just wow talk about the apocalyptic, survival, self discovery, romance and suspense in this book. Wow I'm honestly like blown away this is such a unique twist on a survival book. I felt like it was so original and unique and that is what made it interesting the fact that I have never read anything similar to this ever. The description on the inside of the book jacket honestly does not do the book justice just saying!.
Essentially a biological disaster has cause the United States to split into two parts the east and the west. The east no one goes in and no one goes out it is called the feral zone. Lane the main character has lived in the west her whole live, she's grown up knowing on thing the feral zone is off limits if you cross in you could catch the disease that kills people but also mutates them. But when someone Lane loves goes into the feral zone, she is forced to go too.
I LOVED this book, Lane's dad travels for work and is gone for a week each month on business trips, but he always told her bedtime stories, that were prepping her for going into the feral zone. Like what a smart dad, I honestly wasn't excepting a romance but there is one, it's more of a comedy romance which I know is a weird thing to say especially when the book is very serious. But I felt like the stuff that came out a Rafe's mouth was hilarious, Evenson was more a sweet guy except he surprised me with his secrets. I honestly loved this book, it had so many compelling elements to it, it wasn't a typical book at all. I would highly recommend it, I give it 4.75 out of 5, mostly because the book doesn't state what happens to Rafe.
