A nightmare, I’d told Tamlin. I was the nightmare.

Feyre has returned to the Spring Court, determined to gather information on Tamlin’s maneuverings and the invading king threatening to bring Prythian to its knees. But to do so she must play a deadly game of deceit—and one slip may spell doom not only for Feyre, but for her world as well. As war bears down upon them all, Feyre must decide who to trust amongst the dazzling and lethal High Lords—and hunt for allies in unexpected places.

Dream Reading Space

As booknerds, we can adapt to many different reading situations. Reading in the car, the bus, behind textbooks while in class, or even on the beach. It got me thinking to what would be my dream reading space. What makes a reading space, a dream reading space?

February 2017: Most Anticipated Releases

Am I surprised that the majority of these anticipated releases are romance novels? No.. I mean I have an excuse because this is the month of Valentine’s Day after all but I do have one sci-fi and one fantasy for you though. 😉 I’ve been in a reading slump lately so I have no idea when I will read these. Although, #1 might get me out of it.

Keep reading for my top February book release!!

Monthly Wrap Up: January 2017

MONTHLY NEWSLETTER #009

First month of 2017: DONE. That went by too quickly for my taste. Yesterday was the last day of my first semester exams. I am now freee!

I skipped last month’s newsletter as it wasn’t really eventful. I think I started January pretty strong then might have fizzled out by the end. I’m super active on Instagram though, so check me out there!

Let’s get to it!

REVEAL | Till Death by Jennifer L. Armentrout + BOOK TRAILER

Hello friends! I have a wonderful surprise for you today. ❤

As you may or may not know, I’m a hardcore JLA fan. I’ve fallen in love with the Lux series (Daemon & Katy 😍) and the Covenant series (Alex & Aiden 😍) when I first read them in Grade 8. This has transferred to my teen years and although Liam @ Hey Ashers’ snark of the first book is so far hilarious and undeniably true, I still love her books. Emilie @ Fiction is My Reality and I have had some passionate squealing sessions over our mutual love for Daemon, and JLA in general.

I’ve been waiting for some time for a JLA book that has caught my attention, and my prayers have been answered because our favourite author has been locked away and writing for us. And if you’ve been living under a rock for the past days/weeks/months, you may not know about the news regarding Jennifer L. Armentrout’s newest release, Till Death.

Well, don’t worry, I’m here to tell you ALLLLLL you need to know about JLA’s up and coming standalone, Till Death!!

First Reaction to Shadowhunters Season 2 AKA Snarking Episode 1 Like There’s No Tomorrow

Season 2 of Shadowhunters is finally upon us and guys, I’m impressed. I’ve been hesitant in watching the first episode because Season 1 didn’t leave any lasting impressions…positive ones anyway. Boy, did I have a lot of negative things to say. Anyway, I finally watched it and holy moly, I think Season 2 might actually be good??!

While watching the episode, I was actually writing notes and recording my own comments on what was happening on screen. I would love to give you a video of my reaction but I didn’t prepare that well; as in I don’t have a camera. So, this is a post of me snarking the first episode of Shadowhunters!

Enjoy! ❤️

Note: If difficult to follow, try to imagine the episode in your head? Or possibly watch the episode as you read this? These are my comments as the episode is playing. Yes, I know, a video would be much better…

Lia has survived Venda—but so has a great evil bent on the destruction of Morrighan. And only Lia can stop it.

With war on the horizon, Lia has no choice but to assume her role as First Daughter, as soldier—as leader. While she struggles to reach Morrighan and warn them, she finds herself at cross-purposes with Rafe and suspicious of Kaden, who has hunted her down.

In this conclusion to the Remnant Chronicles trilogy, traitors must be rooted out, sacrifices must be made, and impossible odds must be overcome as the future of every kingdom hangs in the balance.

HAPPY NEW YEAR GUYS!!!! (5 days late but you know, better late than never? 😅) *insert noisemakers, confetti poppers, and fireworks display* 2017 probably won’t set in until I stop writing 2016 on my notes (let’s be honest that will be 6 months from now) So many things have happened so before I face 2017 head on, let’s have a little* throwback on this bookish year.
