I borrowed this book from the library several months ago now--during my summer holidays--and I read it promptly, but I haven't been very proactive in writing the review for it. Luckily, I take notes after finishing a book so that everything I want to write about it is fresh down on the page for me to revisit. Before I get into a new review, I figure I might as well catch myself up and write the ones I've been putting off. So, here I am drinking peppermint tea and freaking out about this intricately gorgeous cover that holds an even more intricate and gorgeous story...

Caraval (Caraval Series #1)
The cover of this book is amazing. Can we just take a moment to appreciate it? It looks kind of simple, but seeing it up close is actually amazing. The star behind the title sparkles! I’m not here to rant, but it really is cool...
The Splintered Trilogy
I was caught by the covers of these books when I was waltzing through the bookstore (not literally, but I like fun words). I didn’t want to judge a book by its cover and I read the first synopsis, which really excited me because I love Alice in Wonderland themed/inspired stories. Some of my favorite movies are the Tim Burton ones (I dressed up as The Mad Hatter for Halloween). The book even mentioned that it was inspired by the Tim burton movies. I am so glad that I found this series. Quick fun fact: If you get the books in print, they have colorful text...
Fablehaven
I was recommended this book by my friend when I was quite young (maybe I was in second or third grade). My mum started to read the first book to me. However, by the time we got about halfway through, we were done. I was scared by some of the frightening situations and creatures the characters had to deal with and Mum was afraid of me having nightmares. So we got rid of the book. Many years later, I saw the book at the bookstore and I thought maybe I should try it again. I wasn’t disappointed...
Library of Souls
I was super excited to read this, the third and final book in the series. After reading the second book, which was thrilling, I was looking forward to finishing the series and finding out what happened to the characters I had come to love...
May 2017 Wrap-Up
A quick wrap-up of last month and sharing plans for this month...
April 2017 Book Haul
This is the first time I've ever done one of these (been a lot of those lately). It's also not something I will necessarily do every month, because there might be times where I don't get any books (there's these things called libraries!). However, my local library had a spring sale and I also went to a second hand bookstore, so I figured I might as well do a haul post. All of the synopsis' are copied from Amazon. The images were obtained on Google images...
