Best Reads | 2020

Image
The longest ever year of our lives still has a few more days till it ends. We all did stay inside for most of the time, and more time means more books. I've read new books and re-read the old ones. This year half of the books I've read were on Wattpad, and I'm not counting Wattpad books.  I am going for my top 5 books this year because if I go more than that, I'll feel bad for leaving some out, and I'll just consider them too, and well, then I'll just include every book I liked from this year. But  from re-reading the entire Shadowhunter series to discovering my new love for the Folk of The Air series, here are my top reads of the year! 1. Six of Crows,  Leigh Bardugo This book was in my December TBR, and I finished it last week only, and I absolutely loved it! I love criminal books, and I love heists even more. I've read around 3-4 books about a heist, and I honestly cannot get enough of this book. There were a few things I didn't particularly like ab

Immies, Glummies and Beenies; A Tale of Baradoohn | Review

Image
What would you do if you discovered a thousand-year-old immortals were living, working, going to school, and even shopping, in the most secret place in all the world? When tragedy strikes the parents of Tristan, Charlie, and Eve, they are torn from their London home and whisked away into the Scottish Highlands to stay with their aunt and uncle. While exploring the mysterious wood one night, they stumble across a group of human-looking immortals and become involved in a battle for their own safety. The children discover that immortals have lived for centuries in an undiscovered place called Baradoohn, the world's greatest kept secret. After being rescued by their new immortal guides, the children learn they are wickedly hunted by the dangerous immortal, Markaeyla, though they do not know why. They must journey into Baradoohn and face the perils while trying to discover why they are so important. Battles with teums, powerful trixes, Dark Age gangsters, angry peelerpots, and the all-p

Review: We Jace you a Clary Xmas

We Jace you a Clary Xmas by Cassandra Clare . My rating: 5 of 5 stars I absolutely loved this!!! We have short chapters of clace. Any Clace shipper would die to read this book. 8 chapters!  The first chapter is of Jace and Clary's meeting from Isabelle's POV. You could literally see Jace falling in love with Clary at first sight. He couldn't even kill a demon because he was too busy staring at Clary ( He did kill it at the end, but he got hurt killing a little demon and that says something since he's the best shadowhunter of his age).   The second chapter was Jace's POV of their first kiss at her birthday in the greenhouse and to say Jace is and was crazy about her would be right.  The third chapter was from City of Ashes, where Seelie Queen does all Clace shipper a favour. It was from Jace's POV, and It's my favourite chapter from the entire book. Jace's thoughts during that scene made my heart melt and break at the same time. It h

My December To Be Read

December is already here, and before we know, it'll be 2021. So I am gonna count my 2020 December TBR. I'll probably read more than these, but these are the ones I must-read.  How The High King of Elfhame learned to hate stories, Holly Black It's been around 2 weeks since its release, and I haven't read it yet. I don't know how I waited this long, but I don't want to read it in Ebook version because the illustrations in this book are so beautiful, but I don't have the rest of The Folk of the Air series as books, and if I buy only this book, it'll look weird to me. I started reading the Ebook version of this, and I had to stop because there is Cardan's picture at the start and the map of Elfhame. There are also illustrations before every chapter, and I want to own them. Also, the name of the first chapter is The High King of Elfhame Visits The Mortal World, and well, every fan of the series knows how much we are excited to read that.  The name of the

My Top Fantasy books

Fantasy books are books set in a different universe with different creatures, and honestly, fantasy is my favourite genre after YA. Fantasy books are so fun to read, and it feels so good to get lost in a universe where you don't have to deal with humane problems. Here are my top Fantasy books: The Folk of the Air, Holly Black “I have lied, and I have betrayed, and I have triumphed. If only there was  someone to congratulate me.”  - Jude Duarte, The Cruel Prince The Cruel Prince is one of my absolute favourites. Jude Duarte is one of the best female leads I've ever read about. She is a strong female lead, and she doesn't make really cringy bad decisions. I always like to read a book with strong female leads, but in most books, they just make the female smart not strong. So I personally liked it when I read about Jude.  My words fall short of describing Cardan Greenbriar. I am still shocked he's the High King of Elfhame. Well, it was because of Jude that he became the Kin
