Book Lovers Lifting and Crushing

 Hello everybody!  Today I am happy to say that I will be reviewing A Reaper at the Gates by Sabaa Tahir. I wanted to finish this book before my classes started up for Spring semester and I am happy to say that I did! Today is the first day of classes and I finished it last night at 11 PM.  There will be a spoiler section and a non-spoiler section! THIS IS THE NON SPOILER SECTION It took me a bit longer to read it than I wanted to and that was partly because of the craziness of moving back into school and classes starting and leaving home, but the other part of it was the fact that I read the first two books in this series years ago and I did not remember much about it. I could only remember vague details but not all of the overarching story. I did look up summaries so that helped and in the end I still enjoyed the book. In the beginning, I felt like there wasn't much happening, but really what it was was that Tahir was setting us up for the rest of the story and it neede...

 Hey guys, Today I will be sharing with you my reading goals for 2021. I have seen so many people going through their 2021 reading goals and I really wanted to participate. Comment down below whatever reading goal you have for 2021, I wanna know! Reading Goal #1 This is my first and biggest reading goal for 2021 and that is to read all of the books that I have in my possession right now thus bringing my TBR pile to 0. Now, with that being said, I will still be purchasing books but as of the books that I have right now, my goal is to read all of those.  I actually went through my bookshelves and collections to see how many books I haven't read that I have and I am sure that I missed some that are strewn around my house but I counted 16 which is not that bad and I really think that I can do it. Reading Goal #2 Make reading a priority while I am at school. I tend to get really caught up with everything happening in college and my classes will get difficult so I can never read as...

 Hi guys, Today I will be sharing with you the most anticipated YA book releases for this new year. I will mention that these books are not necessarily the ones that I am most anticipating, however, they are ones that I have heard so much buzz about and there are many loyal readers to their authors.  So let's get into this list... Happily Ever Afters by Elise Bryant  Release Date: January 5th Summary: From what I have read from the synopsis, this book is essentially about a 16 year old girl who loves to read and write romance stories. She gets accepted to a prestigious creative writing program at an art school but finds that her mind has gone blank with ideas. This means that, with the help of her best friend, she must bring the ideas from the romance novels she loves and bring them into her real life in order to spark some ideas.  My Opinion: This sounds like such a captivating story and such a unique idea! This seems like the perfect read for me and I am so glad th...

 Hi guys, Today I will be sharing with you a review for Wiccan Romances: Amelia's Story by Nicola Hebron. I honestly did not know very much about this book but I was contacted by the author and the story line intrigued me and I am glad that I got to read it. The first thing that I want to say is that this idea hit me right in the feels because when I was a kid, one of my favorite shows ever was Wizards of Waverley Place and this had such a similar vibe to it. Of course they aren't exactly the same but just the idea made me happy. I loved the idea with the kids being quadruplets each possessing a different elemental power, I feel like you don't see quadruplets very much in YA and I thought that the idea of each controlling an element was interesting. I loved how we got to see a lot of their real lives outside of learning magic and it wasn't just about that but it was about their lives outside of home as well. I think that Amelia proves to be a positive role model for you...

Hi guys, I am really excited to be sharing with you my newest book review for Serious Moonlight by Jenn Bennett! I got this book at an amazon bookstore down in Austin Texas over a year and a half ago. I hadn't heard anything about it, or much about Jenn Bennett at all, but I will never be more grateful for finding this book on the shelves. It's been sitting in my unread stack of books for a long time and I just didn't pick it up. Now I think to myself how foolish i was not to. I feel like a lot of the time, books will start off slow and I will say something like “I don't know if I'm gonna like this", or “I hope this picks up and becomes more interesting to me”. But that was not the case with this book. Every single page of this book had my heart. In the very beginning I looked up at my boyfriend and I know that I got that smile on my face like I always do when I fall in love with a book. Because this was spectacular from start to finish. The plot was consta...
