May 2017 Wrap-Up!~

 

 Hi everyone! Today's post will be about all the books I read in the month of May!

    Wintersong by S. Jae-Jones.

I won a free copy of Wintersong and this has been the book that I was highly anticipating this year! I had heard it was a mixture of Beauty and the Beast and Jim Henson's Labyrinth. Being a fan of both, I just had to get my hands on this book.

The story follows nineteen year old Liesl who enters the world of the Labyrinth after her sister has been kidnapped.

The book was a bit slow at times and sometimes I felt like the story was going nowhere. But overall, I enjoyed it. And I'll probably buy the second book when it comes out.

It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover.

    Lily has had a hard life. Then Ryle Kincaid enters her life.         The story about Lily is heartbreaking. And her relationship with Ryle is even more complicated. This book had me crying and had me feeling so angry and many more emotions that I never knew I had.

I highly recommend this book if you love new adult. It quickly out beat her other books that I have read and it's now become one of my favorites.

 

Always and Forever Lara Jean by Jenny Han.

This book is the third and final book in the To All The Boys I've Loved Before Trilogy.

I can't give away with saying much about this without spoiling it but it picked up a few weeks after the second one and it did not disappoint me.

It was so cute and I was so scared that something bad was gonna happen but this book was all fluff and rainbows.

The Infinite Moment of Us by Lauren Myracle.

This story follows Wren Gray and Charlie Parker. It's a love story about two teens who fall in love and come to terms with some consequences.

I didn't enjoy this book as much as I wanted to. I didn't care about the relationship or where this story was headed.

    The Inexplicable Logic of my Life by Benjamin Alire Saenz.

Benjamin Saenz has a way of building a story and creating a world that just draws you in. 

 This story is about Sal and his adoptive gay father and their Mexican American family.

I really liked this story, it doesn't beat Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe, but it makes a good second!

 

Under Rose-Tainted Skies by Louise Gornall.

Norah is fearful of everything. So she stays inside the four walls of her home. Then her new neighbor Luke comes into the picture and he doesn't see the girl who is scared, instead he sees someone who is funny and beautiful.

I had high hopes for this book and was sadly let down. I felt like I didn't get a good enough conclusion.

Nobody But Us By Kristin Halbrook.

Will and Zoe are on the run. Escaping Zoe's abusive father and running away to freedom.

I liked the relationship between Will and Zoe. I loved how protective Will was yet he still gave Zoe her space. And the way Zoe cared for Will was really sweet. However, this book felt like it was missing something.
