Caught between duty and freedom, loyalty and betrayal, she must uncover secrets about her past in order to protect her world’s future.

Humm what do i think about it ?
Oh,man i've spent my whole life hating on sci-fi movies/books/everything that has to do with space and happened outside our beloved planet, i don't like new things and future scars me, stop judging me !

UNTIL i read this beautiful thing last month, it was such an entertaining read ,the storyline was interesting and i liked how we got to see it paralleled with the original Cinderella story but with the futuristic aspect , the dialog was quirky and so funny ,also the romance was a highlight here it was so cute and adorable i can't wait to see what will happen with them.

however, it was very predictable from page 80 or so ,it didn't bother me much, but i like it when a book surprises me with the plot twist .
4/5 beautiful lunar stars . 

favorite quotes :

 “Even in the Future the Story Begins with Once Upon a Time.”
 Kai tilted his head,"I think you should go to the ball with me."

She clutched her fingers..."Stars," she muttered. "Didn't you already asked me that?"
"I'm hoping for a more favorable answer this time and I seem to be getting more desperate by the minute."
"How charming."
Kai's lips twitched. "Please?"
"Why?"
"Why not?"
"I mean, why me?"
Kai hooked his thumbs on his pockets. "So if my escape hover breaks down, I'll have someone to fix it?”

NOVEMBER 9 | let's talk books & Ben !

November 9
by : Colleen Hoover

25111004

What is this all about :
Fallon meets Ben, an aspiring novelist, the day before her scheduled cross-country move. Their untimely attraction leads them to spend Fallon’s last day in L.A. together, and her eventful life becomes the creative inspiration Ben has always sought for his novel. Over time and amidst the various relationships and tribulations of their own separate lives, they continue to meet on the same date every year. Until one day Fallon becomes unsure if Ben has been telling her the truth or fabricating a perfect reality for the sake of the ultimate plot twist.

My thoughts & feels :
November 9 was one of my most anticipated releases of 2015 ,just because it's a CoHo book and i freaking looove her writings ,and let me tell you ,it did not disappoint  ♥ 

That book was BUTTERFLYING amazing 
- if you're a Coho fan you'll know what i mean *-^ -

here's why i think it's that butterflying amazing :
  • it's a book about Books ,how can you not love that ,am i right ?
  • it has just the right amount of the traditional Coho style of torturing her characters in every book and by doing that she torture us readers too  and  we'll find ourselves happy about it .
  • BUT of course after you cry your eyes out you'll find yourself reading a hilarious part ,and swooning over Fallon and Ben's love story and you'll forget everything she wrote in the previous page , Magic ,i just know it !
  • i give it 4.5/5 stars ,it wasn't my all time favorite CoHo book ,but i enjoyed it just as much .

Favorite Quote :
  “Don't stop" I tease in a seductive voice. " Give me more, Ben. Did you read eBooks or..." I run my finger slowly down his chest."Hardbacks?"
He pulls his hands behind his head and a smug look washes over his face. "Oh, they were hardbacks, all right. And I'm not sure if you're ready for this, but...I have my own TBR pile. You should read it, Fallon. It's huge"

did you read it yet ?
what did you think ? 
let's discuss it in the comments  :D

The Darkling and other Grisha stories!

The Grisha Trilogy
by: Leigh Bardugo 

          

What is this all about :
 Surrounded by enemies, the once-great nation of Ravka has been torn in two by the Shadow Fold, a swath of near impenetrable darkness crawling with monsters who feast on human flesh. Now its fate may rest on the shoulders of one lonely refugee.

Alina Starkov has never been good at anything. But when her regiment is attacked on the Fold and her best friend is brutally injured, Alina reveals a dormant power that saves his life—a power that could be the key to setting her war-ravaged country free. Wrenched from everything she knows, Alina is whisked away to the royal court to be trained as a member of the Grisha, the magical elite led by the mysterious Darkling ...



My thoughts & feels :

  • The highlight of this trilogy for me -besides my absolute love for the Darkling's obviously- was the world building since it was based on Russian folklore mixed with the fantasy elements at first it was kinda hard to understand it completely but once i got halfway through the first book everything clicked together, and it was wonderful .
  • in terms of characters and character development through out the story i wasn't the biggest fan of Alina & Mal and their romance wasn't the best thing either, however i loooved the rest of the cast they were clever, funny, and very interesting to read about till the very end.
  • finally this trilogy has action, excellent writing style with a very Epic finale -you might cry at the end though ,i know i did- and a very cool concept highly recommended .
  • overall 4/5 stars for the whole series .
