After a long, long wait finally the last book in Heroes of Olympus came out. But after finishing the book I felt like it could’ve been so much better and I didn’t get to see a lot of the things I wanted to see. WARNING! This booktube contains spoilers.
Tessa is about to start college, but nothing goes as she planned. She meets Hardin and suddenly her world is turned upside-down. He makes her feel a passion she has never felt before. The book took me on an emotional roller-coaster ride. I built up a love-hate relationship to Hardin, I saw myself in Tessa and these things made me fall in love with ‘After’.
In ‘Paper Towns’ we meet Quentin, also known as Q, who was friends with Margo years ago, when they were kids. Now Q likes Margo, but Margo does not seem to notice him at all. While reading this book I never understood why Q likes Margo so much, since she has never done anything for him.
It wasn’t quite the love story which made me turn page after page in ‘Lovely, Dark and Deep’. Of course I was curious to find out whether Wren would end up finding happiness in love, but that wasn’t what made this book great. What I really wondered was, whether this unfortunate girl could find her way back to a decent life worth living — or not.
‘Will Grayson, Will Grayson’ is written by John Green and David Levithan. It has its own charm with some personalities I instantly fell in love with and I could nothing but smile while reading. So even though I’m not much of a contemporary reader I did enjoy reading this book.
I really enjoyed reading Hannah Jayne’s ’Truly, Madly, Deadly’. I had a hard time putting the book down, once I started reading it. I needed to know, what had really happened the night Sawyer’s boyfriend was killed. But even though it was a really great book, I still missed being dragged through the entire range of emotions.
While reading ‘The Book Thief’ I got a whole new perspective on, what it was like to live in Nazi Germany during World War II. None other than Death tells the story of Liesel Meminger, and the story was both heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time.
Selvom temaet med hekse og troldmænd er alt for brugt i ungdomsromaner, lykkedes det alligevel Michelle Krys at erobre mit hjerte fuldstændig med ‘Hexed’, første bind i ‘The Witch Hunter’-serien. Historien er vidunderligt uforudsigelig, super sjov og underholdende.
Even though the witch-and-sorcerer theme is so used in YA, Michelle Krys’ first book in the new ‘The Witch Hunter’ series, ‘Hexed’, did manage to conquer me completely. The story is wonderful unpredictable and loads of fun.
Super Quick Review: I’ve read ‘The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time’ in English class. My expectations were not very high since my experiences with ‘school books’ haven’t always been that great, but anyway …
‘If I stay’ griber om sig med storladne følelser og omfattende beslutninger, og den enkle måde tingene skildres er klog og henvender sig i høj grad til målgruppen. Skrivestilen fungerer overraskende godt med dens todeling; fra flash backs til episoder i Mias liv til et klokkeslæt der markerer, at man er tilbage i det kritiske hospitalsmiljø.
Efter jeg havde læst ‘Divergent’-trilogien færdig, fandt jeg ud af, at Veronica Roth også havde skrevet forhistorien ‘Four’. Fra det øjeblik kredsede mine tanker kun om at få fat i bogen, for jeg måtte bare lære Tobias bedre at kende.
Anbefalingen på forsiden af ‘Uses for boys’ er så præcis og så rigtig, at jeg blot vil citere den: “‘I wish every woman could gain wisdom found in these pages. Quiet. Stark. Possible life-changing.’ – Ellen Hopkins”.
‘Shadowlands’-serien: Kate Brian – forfatteren til den helt vildt fede ‘Private’-serien om Reed Brennan, der går på Billings – er ved at skrive en ny serie. Elskede du også ‘Private’, bliver du dog nok overrasket. Serien er ikke karakterdrevet, og plottet, der så skulle føre historien frem, er temmelig spinkelt. Det handler nemlig kun om, hvornår massemorderen Stephen Nell slår til igen.
‘The Lying Game’: Igennem de sidste to år og de sidste fem bøger har jeg set Emma over skulderen, mens hun har prøvet at finde sin søsters morder. Hun har fulgt alle spor, hun kunne og anklaget alle dem, hun kunne. Det var en rigtig bittersød slutning for mig at sidde med, for slutningen var alt, jeg kunne have håbet på, men nu da jeg har den, har jeg ikke længere nogen bøger at se frem til.
