2016 READING CHALLENGE
I really disliked Cassia. Ky was sweet. I hated the writing style and thought it was way to youthful, BUT I do think, that Crossed and Reached have potential.
I received a copy from Netgalley in return for a honest review.
I really enjoyed reading this novella. The description of this book really intrigued me to read it and over all it was a good story. There were still some grammar mistakes...
I LOVED THIS :))
Can we just talk about Jin, because I have never had a 'book character crush' before but Jin changed that game.
A quick read between my buddy-read, bookclub-read and other books. I really, really like this one. I just love, love, love the Harry Potter world and reading this is amazing. I just imagine myself in the Hogwarts library reading this boo...
This book was a cover buy back in 2014, and has been on my TBR shelf ever since. The synopsis sounded interesting but not interesting enough. I now have finally picked it up and I'm not to impressed. The chapters were too long, and they ...
3.8 stars.
I liked it. At first I really, really liked it. After a while it just got a bit boring, and at the end it got better again. My favorite character was definitely Katie, especially young, sassy Katie. could've had less pages.
I LOVED THIS. I didn't expect to love this as much as I did since one of my friends really disliked this book and we kinda have the same taste in books. But turns out, I love it! I loved the characters, the character building, the settin...
I remember one time when Sarah, my oldest girl, told me that in one of her books it said a picture is worth a thousand words. I told her whoever wrote that didn't know very much. When I think back on slavery and all what happened that d...
I at first really liked this, then I didn't like it, and the end I did like. This book just had so many ups and downs for me and the story just didn't grab me. This could have much potential since I haven't read a lot of books about the ...
I bought this book in a wimp because it was half-priced, but really I should've looked more into it when I bought it.
This book in my opinion was horrible. While reading this I did some research on other people's opinions on this book, ...
3.5 stars.
This is not what I usually read, but I really liked it anyway. It was a very nice read and I read it in two sittings. I also think this is the first book I have ever read set in Asia and is written around an Asian main charac...
3.5 stars.
I really liked the story. I never read an inbetween story before but now I finally have. I really loved that this was from Despina's point because I love her!
The book itself, is very good. But spionage, mystery stuff like this, just is not for me. The pace was so slow, and at one point I just didn't want to pick it up anymore. I loved the movie so I hoped that would motivate me to read it but...
4.5 stars!
Wow this book was so cool. I never read a fairytale re-telling or a book set in the Middle-East before but I absolutely loved it. The story was so interesting and I think I love every character (accept Tariq)! I am so excite...
It was great to finally pick up the second book in the TMI series after I read 'City of Bones' two years ago. This book was so much fun and I love all the different aspects it caries. It's fun, fast-paced and action-packed! I can't wait ...
Like all the other Rainbow Rowell books I've read I really liked 'Kindred Spirits'. I just wish it was longer because the end was rushed way to much and if this book would've been just hundred pages longer the story would I think come to...
DUTCH BOOK = DUTCH REVIEW.
Ik heb veel waardering voor Indiase sprookjes, ze hebben allemaal een erg wijze les wat ik onwijs waardeer.
So the synopsis on the back had me really interested and I really liked the first 100 pages or so. But after that it got really slow to me and than halfway through the book I found out that the writer was a women. From that moment on I j...
4.5 stars!
Oorlogswinter is a Dutch historical fiction that is one of the most popular middle-grade books in the Netherlands. I think I read this in primary school at the age of 11 or so, but I'm not completely sure.
Anyhow. I read it ...
Orbiting Jupiter. The most amazing read I've had so far. This book is bringing 'Wonder' second place in my top favourite books of all time. The first book to ever make me cry!
Orbiting Jupiter is such a wonderful story that melt and bro...
"All children, expect one, grow up. Do you believe?"
Besides Roald Dahl's, as a child, I never read any British, or any foreign children's classics, for that matter. I picked the lovely Penguin Puffin Chalk edition up when I visited my...
I really enjoyed reading this book. I never ever thought I would pick up a non-fiction book about biology and evolution. I actually also didn't pick this up on purpose, this was a 100% cover buy, I didn't even read the synopsis. Anyhow I...
3.5 stars. So the story started of great but halfway through the book I found it got quite boring. The overall idea of this book was great, and while reading this I thought about what it would be like being dead a lot but actually readin...
Okay props for Patrick Süskind for being able to think and write a story like this. It's such an unique story and the plot line is great as well. The reason why I rate this only 3 stars is because although I like the general idea of this...
This book was amazing! From beginning to end I loved this. This is a book that I will re-read and read to my children once I will have them!
I liked the tales of Beedle the Bard but I skipped the notes by Dumbledore. I didn't enjoy reading those at all.
2.5 stars. Such a disappointing ending. I really liked Shadow & Bone and Siege & Storm so my expectations were so high for this book and I was so curious for the ending but I was so let down!
Yes, the second part, I liked it but didn't love it. I've noticed that I seem to dislike second books in trilogy's.
I liked the story and the action and overall things that happened. I like all the characters and I love the writing sty...
I loveddddd this book. This is my first proper fantasy series I've read, if you don't count the Harry Potter series, the Divergent trilogy and The Maze Runner trilogy + prequel and this makes me want to read more fantasy books! So as you...
I really liked this book. I have read 'One Day' by David Nicholls about two years ago but back then didn't like the story. After a long while I decided to pick up another Nicholls novel and give it a go. I liked us a lot, the story line ...
I absolutely loved this story! The first 70 pages were hard for me to get in because I didn't know where the story was going to but after those pages I started loving this book more and more. I laughed out loud reading this and this book...
Oh my. I liked divergent, I hated insurgent and I like Allegiant. I had such mixed feelings getting into this book because I hated insurgent so much and I just thought that Allegiant would be as bad or even worse but luckily it wasn't. I...
Okay, this book... I am so not sure how I feel about this. I think that for the first 200+ pages I didn't like it at all. Everything just reminded me of a bad Harry Potter remake, and I just hoped for something new but still awesome. But...
I really liked this book. I liked the story, it reminded me of the standard Dutch thriller, which I loved to read when I was in high school, and now to read a thriller like this in English, is great. I liked the story, I liked the plot. ...
2.5 stars. This mystery just wasn't it for. It was okay, nothing special. From the synopsis it had quite the potential for me, but it didn't got up to it.
Couldn't get myself to read the last 40 pages because I started to hate this book more and more with every page I turned.
Johanna or Dolly Wilde reminds me of a 12 year old girl with the sex drive of a 14 year old boy. She got more and...
This book was the weirdest, unexpected rollercoaster that I read in a while. When I started this story I didn't really know what was going to happen and I was almost about to put it down when I was at page 200 and held so much hate for o...
I loved this. It's unfortunate that I really, really can't spend any money, til after August because now I can't get to the second and third book in this series.
So I read this story in a 30 minute sitting and although I liked it I'm not as impressed as I thought I would be. This story was told to be super terrifying and I didn't experience it like that at all. The story was creepy but terrifying...
