Description

From the highly acclaimed, multiple award-winning Anthony Doerr, the beautiful, stunningly ambitious instant New York Times bestseller about a blind French girl and a German boy whose paths collide in occupied France as both try to survive the devastation of World War II.

Marie-Laure lives with her father in Paris near the Museum of Natural History, where he works as the master of its thousands of locks. When she is six, Marie-Laure goes blind and her father builds a perfect miniature of their neighborhood so she can memorize it by touch and navigate her way home. When she is twelve, the Nazis occupy Paris and father and daughter flee to the walled citadel of Saint-Malo, where Marie-Laure’s reclusive great-uncle lives in a tall house by the sea. With them they carry what might be the museum’s most valuable and dangerous jewel.

In a mining town in Germany, the orphan Werner grows up with his younger sister, enchanted by a crude radio they find. Werner becomes an expert at building and fixing these crucial new instruments, a talent that wins him a place at a brutal academy for Hitler Youth, then a special assignment to track the resistance. More and more aware of the human cost of his intelligence, Werner travels through the heart of the war and, finally, into Saint-Malo, where his story and Marie-Laure’s converge.

At the center of the conflict lie the Starks of Winterfell, a family as harsh and unyielding as the land they were born to. Sweeping from a land of brutal cold to a distant summertime kingdom of epicurean plenty, here is a tale of lords and ladies, soldiers and sorcerers, assassins and bastards, who come together in a time of grim omens. Amid plots and counterplots, tragedy and betrayal, victory and terror, the fate of the Starks, their allies, and their enemies hangs perilously in the balance, as each endeavors to win that deadliest of conflicts: the game of thrones.

My thoughts

If I read this book before the TV series it would probably have been a 5 out of 5 stars book for me If I read the book first.

Because I saw the TV series first, I knew which way the story would go. That was probably the reason why I wasn’t blown away by this book. I knew constantly what was going to come, so there were no surprises. The first season of Game of Thrones the TV show is a very faithful adaptation to the first book.

I really like the writing. There were so many quotes that I liked. But there were some slow parts too. I love the parts of Jon, Arya and Tyrion the most. They are my favorite characters. 

I heard that the 2e book differs more from the TV series, so I hope I am more surprised by that book. Still, this book was a really good read.

The Opposite of Loneliness

The Opposite of Loneliness
Author: Marina Keegan
Publisher: Scribner
Pages: 208
Genre: non-fiction, short stories and essays
Published: April 8, 2014
Rating: 2/5 stars
Goodreads link

Description

An affecting and hope-filled posthumous collection of essays and stories from the talented young Yale graduate whose title essay captured the world’s attention in 2012 and turned her into an icon for her generation.

Marina Keegan’s star was on the rise when she graduated magna cum laude from Yale in May 2012. She had a play that was to be produced at the New York International Fringe Festival and a job waiting for her at the New Yorker. Tragically, five days after graduation, Marina died in a car crash.
As her family, friends, and classmates, deep in grief, joined to create a memorial service for Marina, her unforgettable last essay for the Yale Daily News, “The Opposite of Loneliness,” went viral, receiving more than 1.4 million hits. She had struck a chord.

Even though she was just twenty-two when she died, Marina left behind a rich, expansive trove of prose that, like her title essay, captures the hope, uncertainty, and possibility of her generation. The Opposite of Loneliness is an assem­blage of Marina’s essays and stories that, like The Last Lecture, articulates the universal struggle that all of us face as we figure out what we aspire to be and how we can harness our talents to make an impact on the world.

My thoughts

I wanted to like it more but short story collections en Essays are clearly not my thing.

I liked the writing and the speech in the beginning was amazing, but the short stories and Essays left me unsatisfied. I was just getting to know the characters when the story ended. Sometimes it felt like the story stopped somewhere in the middle and I was like, that can’t be the end. I think I would have liked a novel from Marina because her writing is great but this format is not for me.

Also the topics were not always what I wanted. Some stories were weird and I guess I was expecting something else. I really didn’t know what to expect when picking up this book. Sometimes, especially the essays got a bit boring. It took me a long time to read this book.

I have mixed emotions on this book.

This was definitely not a bad book! It was just not for me. 

Avalon

Avalon (Avalon #1)

Genre: Science fiction, Dystopian
Published: January 21, 2014
Rating: 4/5 stars
Goodreads link

Description

A ragtag group of teenage mercenaries who crew the spaceship Avalon stumble upon a conspiracy that could threaten the entire galaxy in this fascinating and fast-paced sci-fi adventure from author Mindee Arnett.

Of the various star systems that make up the Confederation, most lie thousands of light-years from First Earth-and out here, no one is free. The agencies that govern the Confederation are as corrupt as the crime bosses who patrol it, and power is held by anyone with enough greed and ruthlessness to claim it. That power is derived from one thing: metatech, the devices that allow people to travel great distances faster than the speed of light.

Jeth Seagrave and his crew of teenage mercenaries have survived in this world by stealing unsecured metatech, and they're damn good at it. Jeth doesn't care about the politics or the law; all he cares about is earning enough money to buy back his parents' ship, Avalon, from his crime-boss employer and getting himself and his sister, Lizzie, the heck out of Dodge. But when Jeth finds himself in possession of information that both the crime bosses and the government are willing to kill for, he is going to have to ask himself how far he'll go to get the freedom he's wanted for so long.

Avalon is the perfect fit for teens new to sci-fi as well as seasoned sci-fi readers looking for more books in the YA space-and a great match for fans of Joss Whedon's cult hit show Firefly.

My thoughts

I heard this was about a group of teenage mercenaries stealing spaceships, so I needed to pick this book up.

It took me a while to get into this book. But after about 100-150 pages it started to pick up. This book is slow, so don’t give up to early. In the end this book is worth it. 

The beginning is more getting to know the characters and the world. The second half is action, intrigue, plot twist and a lot of betrayal.

SciFi isn’t a genre that I read much, but dystopian is. This book is a combination of the two. That made it easier for me to get into the story. I think this book is a great introduction to YA SciFi, at least it was so for me. The technology in this book was complicated but I think they made it easy to follow because they explained it in an easier way.

The characters were fully developed. You get to know some of their backstory but not of every character. The story is from Jeth’s perspective. So he tells you a bit about the backstory of his crew. It is just a bit of what they did before they joint the crew and how they met.

The villains in this book were super evil but to themselves they weren’t. Mindee tried to show you that these villains weren’t just evil because they wanted to be evil. No when the villains were explaining themselves they really thought they were making the world better. But they didn’t realize that by trying to defeat the ITA (most powerful company in the universe) they became something worse than the ITA.

This book is definitely worth your time!

We Should All Be Feminists

Author: Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

Pages: 49
Genre: non-fiction
Published: july 29, 2014
Rating: 4/5 stars
Goodreads link

Description

What does “feminism” mean today? That is the question at the heart of We Should All Be Feminists, a personal, eloquently-argued essay—adapted from her much-viewed TEDx talk of the same name—by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, the award-winning author of Americanah and Half of a Yellow Sun. With humor and levity, here Adichie offers readers a unique definition of feminism for the twenty-first century—one rooted in inclusion and awareness. She shines a light not only on blatant discrimination, but also the more insidious, institutional behaviors that marginalize women around the world, in order to help readers of all walks of life better understand the often masked realities of sexual politics. Throughout, she draws extensively on her own experiences—in the U.S., in her native Nigeria, and abroad—offering an artfully nuanced explanation of why the gender divide is harmful for women and men, alike. Argued in the same observant, witty and clever prose that has made Adichie a bestselling novelist, here is one remarkable author’s exploration of what it means to be a woman today—and an of-the-moment rallying cry for why we should all be feminists.

My thoughts

Because of all the discussions on booktube about diversity, I wanted to read a diverse read this month.  I immediately thought of this book. I’ve wanted to read this book for a while now, and it did not disappoint I agree with everything that she says in this book.

It was a short read. But what she talked about made me think about a vacation I was on with a few friends not long ago. When we went to eat in a restaurant and asked for the check they always gave it to the guy not to the girls. I didn’t notice it till this friend pointed it out. It’s these small things that we should change to make a bigger change. It’s the mindset we have on men and women, and how it is built in to our society. That we should actively think about gender, because sometimes you don’t notice the inequality, like that check I didn’t notice. That is the point I get from this book.

It’s an interesting read.  I recommend this book to everyone, even if you don’t think about feminism much, even if you’re not a feminist. This book might change your mind or it won’t, either way you’ve came out of it knowing more of yourself and the people around you. 

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies ( Pride and Prejudice and Zombies #1)
Author: Seth Grahame-Smith
Publisher: Quirk Books
Pages: 399
Genre: Historical Fiction, Retelling
Published: may 1, 2009
Rating: 3/5 stars

Description

“It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains.” So begins Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, a bold reimagining of Jane Austen’s classic novel. As our story opens, a mysterious plague has fallen upon the quiet English village of Meryton—and the dead are returning to life. Feisty heroine Elizabeth Bennet is determined to wipe out the zombie menace, but she’s soon distracted by the haughty and arrogant Mr. Darcy. What ensues is a delightful comedy of manners with plenty of civilized sparring between the two young lovers—and even more violent sparring on the bloodsoaked battlefield. Complete with romance, heartbreak, swordfights, cannibalism, and thousands of rotting corpses, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is an audacious retelling of English literature’s most enduring novel.

My thoughts

I really like the movie so I thought lets read the book.

The writing was something I enjoyed, it feels like a book that could be written in that time (only the actions in the book probably not, especially the fighting and of course there were words that were throw in to make it funny that weren’t used in that time, but it gave the feel for that time ;)) I haven’t read Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen but now I really need to. I did read persuasion by her so I know how Jane’s writhing is (and it is great :)).

The zombie element was fun but I think it could have been great if it was a bigger part of the plot. It was just a story with zombies getting in the way sometimes. I still really liked it, especially the fighting parts. And the relationship between Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth was fun. How they can’t stand each other but feel this connection.

This book gets lots of mixed reviews and I get it. The zombies get overrated it is not something new apart for those zombies and it could probably be done better (I thought the movie was done better). But the fact that I enjoyed this book is all that is important to me. I read to enjoy myself and this book did its job. This book is kind of ridiculous but that is the point, it’s supposed to be ridiculous. Don’t expect to be enlightened by this book, or inspired to change. This book is fun and more not. This book is exactly Pride and Prejudice (so I heard and seen in the movie) but with a zombie element thrown in the mix. Don’t expect a different story. If that sounds like something you’d like than read it.

The False Prince

The False Prince (The Ascendance Trilogy #1)
Author: Jennifer A. Nielsen
Publisher: Scholastic
Pages: 342
Genre: Fantasy, Adventure
Published: April 1, 2012 
Rating: 4/5 stars

Description

The False Prince is the thrilling first book in a brand-new trilogy filled with danger and deceit and hidden identities that will have readers rushing breathlessly to the end.

In a discontent kingdom, civil war is brewing. To unify the divided people, Conner, a nobleman of the court, devises a cunning plan to find an impersonator of the king’s long-lost son and install him as a puppet prince. Four orphans are recruited to compete for the role, including a defiant boy named Sage. Sage knows that Conner’s motives are more than questionable, yet his life balances on a sword’s point—he must be chosen to play the prince or he will certainly be killed. But Sage’s rivals have their own agendas as well.

As Sage moves from a rundown orphanage to Conner’s sumptuous palace, layer upon layer of treachery and deceit unfold, until finally, a truth is revealed that, in the end, may very well prove more dangerous than all of the lies taken together.

An extraordinary adventure filled with danger and action, lies and deadly truths that will have readers clinging to the edge of their seats.

My thoughts

This book was great!

I had a problem getting in to the story. It took me 150 to 200 pages to get in to it. That is long for a book that is about 350 pages long. There was not much world building in the beginning, you’ll find more out about the world throughout the book. Slowly I got more and more in to it. And the rest is great! I liked the characters, the world, the writing and the many plot twists even when they are a little predictable. This is a great fantasy book, an adventure that is worth your time. 

This is a good book for people who want to start reading fantasy. There are no complicated magic systems or magical creatures, just people in a fantasy world.

My thoughts

This book is a cute romance great for summer.

I heard a lot about this book. Everyone who talks about this book can't say anything negative about it. That's why I really wanted to read it.

I really like this book. It was a great contemporary romance. But I expected more from it. I think my expectations we too high. I wanted to be blown away by it but I wasn't. Don't get me wrong this book is still a great book. It's still a 3 out of 5 stars for me, but I wanted it to be a 5 out of 5 stars. There where some slow part in the middle and it wasn't as mind blowing as I expected , that is the reason why it is  3 out of 5 stars and not a 5 out of 5 stars. 

I really liked the Gerretts'. All the kids were great. Jase the good guy and Alice the bad girl with a soft side. George the cute smart little brother (who also says the most inappropriate things :P). Joel the cool older brother with the motorcycle and a letter jacket. Andy the 14 year old girl who is trying to get her first kiss from this one guy that she has a crush on for sutch a long time. Patsy The baby girl who's first word is boob.. or was it poop, I forgot. And last Harry and Duff the little brothers who are in my eyes the most normal in this family.

I fell in love with this family and I really liked this book!
I will look for another book of Huntley Fitzpatick because I'm interested to read more from this author.
