So I read this book a long time ago and now I am finally doing a review. So this may not be as in depth as any of my other reviews but I hope you still enjoy this. I hope you like it! Image found here: http://images.randomhouse.com/cover/9780147511683 I loved this book! At first I was hesitant on reading it because it seemed too similar to The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken WHICH I LOVE BY THE WAY IF YOU DIDNT KNOW!! But this was a completely different story. It was a completely different type of cast of characters. I have always enjoyed Marie Lu's writing and this was no exception. She really created a group of well-rounded characters and I enjoyed every character's part-take in the story. It was a really cool concept and it was done really well. I thoroughly enjoyed the setting of the story and the plot was at a good and constant pace. I am very excited to continue on with the series! All in all this was a great book and I give it a 5 out of 5 yellow star rating...

Hey guys, Today I will be sharing with you what I am currently reading. So here it is . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Image found here: http://laurenoliverbooks.com.s182294.gridserver.com/images/bookcover_home_delirium.jpg So I am not extremely excited by reading this book, it is kind of a filler book after The Crown's Game. This is because I haven't had the best run with Lauren Oliver's books. But so many people like this book and I have had it for so long. There is only so many books left on my TBR and if I am not to like some book after reading an amazing one, might as well be one that I probably won't love anyways. Do you guys get what I am saying. I think it sounds like a load of gibberish. But I do hope that I actually really like it and I get through it really fast! Thanks, Delaney M

Hey guys! Today I will be review The Crown's Game by Evelyn Skye. Image found here:http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1463414442l/26156203.jpg So I finished this book at 2 AM last night (or this morning you could say), and I was completely hooked! This novel was gripping from the very beginning. And although this book was not as expected, it was completely captivating. Skye has simple by elegant writing and those little French incorporations that added to the Russian culture was divine. How she crafted Sergei and Galina's very real brother and sister relationship was amazing. In the beginning, Vika was not my favorite character, but as she grew throughout the story, I learned to love her. Some of my favorite characters were Pasha and Nikolai, and Skye executed the perfect little uptight princess with Yuliana. The Crown's Game kept a steady plot and I was hooked from the very beginning. I loved Ludmila, she definitely represented a mother-like figure in my eyes and remind...

Hey guys, I am really excited to be sharing with you what I am currently reading! This book just came in the mail at 4:00 PM yesterday and I am already about a third of the way through. That book is... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . THE CROWN'S GAME BY EVELYN SKYE!! Image found here: http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1463414442l/26156203.jpg I have been meaning to get my hands on this book and I finally have and so far, I AM LOVING IT!!!!!! My full review should be up soon! Thanks, Delaney MacDonald

You guys know that I already love these characters and they didn't really introduce anyone new into the story because it is a wrap up to a series. But the characters were as great as ever. The dialogue was quick and witty and all of the elements of all of the characters were very good. My only problem with this book was that it seemed that Weitz was trying to fit a 350 page book into a 250 page book, the book was short and quick which I usually like from an end of a series, but the shortness of this one seemed unethical. I just think that some things could have been explained more to give a more well-rounded end to a series. But that was basically my only problem with it. And it isn...

Hey guys, Today I will be sharing what I was currently reading.

Hey guys! Today I will be sharing with you a reading update. As you guys may know by my previous posts, I had gone camping and while camping a I read many books in one sitting, this was a glorious achievement. But I forgot about the backlash of reading like that. The problem with me is that if I read nonstop and go very fast, at some point I am going to hit a wall. I hit that wall while reading Falling Kingdoms by Morgan Rhodes. So now I am in a bit of a reading slump. Don't worry it isn't too bad, and I will be uploading frequently. I just have the slump. So I am hoping that the quick and easy book that I am reading right now, The Young Elites by Marie Lu is going to get me out of that slump. And remember when I said that I wasn't reading The Young Elites because it seemed too much like The Darkest Minds? Well it is very different. A totally different style and the characters and the basis are so different. I am highly enjoying it so far! More updates coming soon and ...

These are some things that book lovers will understand that are from the app Whisper 1.   2. 3. 4. 5. I hope you liked this fun little thing, I always love seeing these and relating to them, I hope you related to them too!

Hey guys! Today I will be telling you what I am Currently Reading! So, here is what I am currently reading... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The Young Elites by Marie Lu I haven't actually started this book, but I am going to today. I put-off reading this book because the plot seems very similar to The Darkest Minds, which you should know is one of my favorite books. But many people like it so I hope I do too! Thanks, Delaney M. 

Okay so there was an announcement a while ago that said that Veronica Roth has written a new book and it is in a duology, sci-fi series. Now, I have known this news for a while but it has just occurred to me to post about it because some are unaware about this. So yes, Veronica Roth has written a new book and the expected publishing date it January 17, 2017. Here is a picture of the final cover... I know, beautiful right?  Below I will enter the synopsis that is from Goodreads.com  On a planet where violence and vengeance rule, in a galaxy where some are favored by fate, everyone develops a currentgift, a unique power meant to shape the future. While most benefit from their currentgifts, Akos and Cyra do not—their gifts make them vulnerable to others’ control. Can they reclaim their gifts, their fates, and their lives, and reset the balance of power in this world? Cyra is the sister of the brutal tyrant who rules the Shotet people. Cyra’s currentgift gives her ...

Image found at: http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1337026387l/12954620.jpg Hey guys! Today I will be reviewing Falling Kingdoms by Morgan Rhodes.  So let's get into the review. This book has a lot of hype surrounding it and I am safe to say that that hype was well-deserved. The characters and plot were so intriguing. I haven't read anything else my Morgan Rhodes so this first book in her well-known series was my first dip into her writing style. Her writing was amazing and the style of writing went perfectly with the themes of the book. I highly enjoyed reading this book and many aspects of it I found enjoyable. The characters in this book were very well done and Rhodes did a great job to show that they had real life emotions which sometimes, in fantasy, the characters lack. The relationships between the characters were very well done and over all enjoyable to read about. I will say there is a little bit of incestuous things in this book, but it doesn't go anywhere e...

I would like to tell you guys what I am currently reading! Right now I am reading.... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Falling Kingdoms by Morgan Rhodes!!!! I am very excited to be reading this book! I have heard so many great things about it and a review will be coming out soon for it!!! See ya later alligator! Delaney M.

Since I had been camping for the last week, I didn't have the access to the internet to post most of my currently readings. So that's what I am going to do now. I don't think that I am going to be posting full reviews for the books that I read, well maybe... We'll see. But I do want to show you what I read. I am happy to say that for every day that I was there, I read one book. So here are the books... 1. The Crown by Kiera Cass This was a very good book. I thoroughly enjoyed this ending to the long lasting series.  Rating: 4 out of 5 Yellow Roses 2. Princess in Love by Meg Cabot These books are my guilty pleasure and this book is no exception.  Rating: 5 out of 5 Yellow Roses 3. Feed by M.T. Anderson This book was alright, it was a little confusing and it was nothing I had expected, but very interesting. Rating: 3 out of 5 Yellow Roses 4. The Darkest Part of the Forest by Holly Black The book was... magical. It was unlike anything th...
