Ahhhhh, the final book in the Graceling trilogy. Like the other two, I listened to Bitterblue on audiobook and it was soooooo good! I think it’s safe for me to say, but Bitterblue is my favourite book in the trilogy… Yes, I thought it was even better than Graceling and waaaaayy better than Fire. …
Everless is one of the books that I actually listened to on Audible. I’m always a bit apprehensive when I purchase an audiobook because it’s a lot money to waste on something that might have a narrator that you can’t connect with, and won’t be able to listen to for 10 hours. LUCKILY, I really liked the narrator for Everless. She made the story come to life and voiced the characters so well! …
I started the audiobook for Daughter of the Siren Queen straight after I finished the first book because I just couldn’t get enough of Alosa and her adventures. I am SO GLAD that I didn’t have to wait a year in between each book because I don’t know how I would have managed. …
I wasn’t actually EVER going to read this book. I’m not a massive fan of pirates, and I genuinely thought that it was a middle-grade novel. It is DEFINITELY NOT a middle-grade novel, and this novel takes the tropes of a pirate and flips them on their head. …
You know, I think it’s gotten to that point now where Neal Shusterman is one of my favourite authors. He just has this way of writing that has me completely engrossed. Thunderhead has got to be one of the best science fiction/dystopian novels that I have ever read. …
I’ve been looking out for more YA contemporary books about fat girls… Or even girls who aren’t comfortable with the size of their body or how they look. Because, I’m one of those girls, so I’m always on the lookout for good representation of this in YA. I’d heard a lot about Big Bones throughout the blogosphere and I was interested to see whether it was the type of book that I was looking for, so I decided to request a copy and see what I thought.
Like with Graceling, I listened to Fire on audiobook with Emma Powell narrating it, and after loving Graceling, I was so excited to get round to reading Fire. It was only recently that I actually found out that Fire is actually a spin-off prequel to Graceling and not an immediate sequel. So it follows a completely different character, and a different storyline, but it’s set in the same world… But in a different part of the world. …
Welcome to the blog post that I have been meaning to do FOR A VERY LONG TIME! I’ve actually done a BookTube version of this post, so you can check that out on my channel if you want.
BUT IT’S FINALLY HERE! Part one of the U.K vs U.S covers…
Without any further ado, let’s get on with the judging! …
