Top 5 Favourite Books!

Hello again! I am back but this time with a list instead of a review. I thought that just reviews would get a tiny bit boring from time to time , so I decided to do this! Let's hope this is a good idea. Let's do this!

Book 5 - Percy Jackson Series

 

I cant really choose just one out of these , so why not do the entire series! If you don't know what this series is about , It's a book about a boy named Percy Jackson and he's the son of a Greek God. He has to go on many quests with his friends and fights monsters and is just reaallllyyy cool. As-well as sad. A few of the books in the series will make you sob.

Book 4 - Rebel Belle

 

Technically , You should've guessed this , considering my review and all. I don't really think I need to talk about this but I shall link the review here!

Book 3 - Slave Girl

 

Slave Girl is a book in the My Story series. This book made me cry when I first read it , and every time after that I always caught myself trying not to cry. Slave Girl is about a African-American girl's life as a slave in 1959. I'm pretty sure the book tones down what actually happened , but keep in mind this is typically a children's book. It's written as a diary and tells her life basically!

Book 2 - Throne of Glass Series

People. If You have not read this series , you are seriously missing out! Sarah J. Maas is a magician! It's like she put words on a page and then cast a spell or something to make each word feel magical. Celaena Sardothein was an assassin , before she got caught and taken to a mine to work. The king decides to hold a completion and the winner would become his assassin , and the prince chooses Celaena to be his competitor. If I say anymore I will spoil , but It is a must read.

Book 1 - The Game of Love and Death

 

Jesus Christ this book is amazing! I don't know If I'll be writing a review so for now , this will have to do. The Game of Love and Death is a book set in 1937 America between ALOT of characters. For one , Love and Death are personified as people and sometimes they choose to play a game. The game is that the two have to pick a player and they have to fall in love against all odds. If they choose to get together , Love wins. If they don't , Death takes the life of her player. Now , The Players have many things going against them. Considering one is black and one is white , their love story isn't easy.

Thanks for reading , and I hope I've inspired you to read at least one of these.

Goodbye! ,

Made You Up by Francesca Zappia

Goodreads : Reality, it turns out, is often not what you perceive it to be—sometimes, there really is someone out to get you. Made You Up tells the story of Alex, a high school senior unable to tell the difference between real life and delusion. This is a compelling and provoking literary debut that will appeal to fans of Wes Anderson, Silver Linings Playbook, and Liar.

Alex fights a daily battle to figure out the difference between reality and delusion. Armed with a take-no-prisoners attitude, her camera, a Magic 8-Ball, and her only ally (her little sister), Alex wages a war against her schizophrenia, determined to stay sane long enough to get into college. She’s pretty optimistic about her chances until classes begin, and she runs into Miles. Didn't she imagine him? Before she knows it, Alex is making friends, going to parties, falling in love, and experiencing all the usual rites of passage for teenagers. But Alex is used to being crazy. She’s not prepared for normal. 

Okay , first things first. This book is completely and utterly amazing. I don't think Francesca Zappia could've made it better if she had tried. Second thing , expect to cry.

Alex is a beautiful character and is so well written and honestly I love her so much. She's not perfect which makes her even better , and she knows she has flaws. Though I wouldn't count her schizophrenia as a flaw , more like a quirk. Anyway , she certainly is very entertaining to read about , and I just love how snarky and sassy she is. If I need revenge , I now know to glue their locker shut.

Onto Miles : The Male Lead. Miles came off really moody and not very kind at first , but the more I read the more I began to like him. I began to like his bluntness and his attitude , his backstory really interested me as-well. The German boy who everyone seemed to be afraid off turned out to be my most favourite character. I want him to become real and protect him with my life to be honest... I'm calling this the Nico Syndrom. Named so because of the overwhelming need to protect moody characters.

The Plot really got me into this book. Aside from the plot about the new girl falling in love and stuff , It was a mystery as well. I was always guessing what was real and what was not , but I really wasn't expecting HER to not be real! (You know who I mean if you've read this book) Adding to that , there was a whole myth story as well about a girl who died after the scoreboard fell on top of her at a school reunion , which becomes a huge part of the plot. Basically , this book was Romance + Mystery + YA which makes my little heart complete.

Overall , I gave this book a rating of 5/5 stars on Goodreads! I hope you'll think about at least picking this book up now , and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did if you do. Thanks for reading!

Goodbye,
