Kat and Meg couldn’t be more different. Kat’s anxiety makes it hard for her to talk to people. Meg hates being alone, but her ADHD keeps pushing people away. But when the two girls are thrown together for a year-long science project, they discover they do have one thing in common: They’re both obsessed with the same online gaming star and his hilarious videos. It might be the beginning of a beautiful friendship—if they don’t kill each other first.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this book. It stars two of the most weird, unbelievable quirky characters whom I just fell in love with. Its a tale of female friendship which I really..really like and is quite rare in the YA landscape. Kat and Meg are polar opposites but their love for a certain online gamer just seemed totally real! We need more books like this which celebrate not only female friendship and also diversity in the real world.

The battle for the Crown has begun, but which of the three sisters will prevail? With the unforgettable events of the Quickening behind them and the Ascension Year underway, all bets are off. Katharine, once the weak and feeble sister, is stronger than ever before. Arsinoe, after discovering the truth about her powers, must figure out how to make her secret talent work in her favor without anyone finding out. And Mirabella, once thought to be the strongest sister of all and the certain Queen Crowned, faces attacks like never before—ones that put those around her in danger she can’t seem to prevent. In this enthralling sequel to Kendare Blake’s New York Times bestselling Three Dark Crowns, Fennbirn’s deadliest queens must face the one thing standing in their way of the crown: each other.

Gripping and filled to the brim with blood and gore till the end. This wonderful book is the highly anticipated sequel to the Three Dark Crowns which I have the pleasure to read last year and still cannot forget. Not as shocking as the first book but still serves plenty of action and thrills. Despite the interesting depiction of the three very different triplet queens; oldest and strongest Mira but softie at heart, boyish middle sis Arsinoe and youngest but most cruel Kath, it's Arsinoe's best friend/ bodyguard Jules which is the most compelling in this book. I might have given this 5 stars if not for the tiresome lovelines. Thankfully some of the boys met their untimely end. 

That long hiatus

So..I know this is long overdue. I was so swamped last year after delivering my second child that it took me so long to be active on the book scene. I love books. It's like my passion. My first love. I mean..family comes first but books are quite dear to me.

I ponder for some time whether I should just close this blog. I kept asking myself whether it's worth it. But I love books so much and I still wanted to connect to other who love them as much as I did. I'm still active on Goodreads and have been posting religiously but blogging takes effort.

I hope you guys understand that I'm no superwoman. Working full time and being a mother to two crazy kids kind of overwhelmed. Do let me know of any interesting books that are out this year that I should definitely check out.

And thank you for reading this. Love you guys.
