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 last chapter is The King of Elfhame get's what he deserves, and I'm kinda worried because It's Cardan getting what he deserves, so I am not quite sure if Holly is going to kill him or not. 
 
Well, even without the illustrations, this book gives us an insight into Cardan's life and well how he was as a kid and before he was The Cruel Prince or The Wicked King, and I cannot have been more excited when I heard about it. I still can't believe I've waited 2 weeks now. The book is a short novella taking place in some different periods and in the Folk of the Air universe. It's mainly about Cardan Greenbriar, who is now the High King of Elfahme, after events occurring in the 3 books in the whole series. 

Six of Crows, Leigh Bardugo

I haven't read this book, and I know that it's a fantastic duology, and I have wanted to read it since January, and here I was in December 2020, and I haven't read it still. I haven't even brought this book yet, either like Ebook or Book. Every time I want to buy this book Cassandra Clare releases a new book, and I have to buy that book. But I'm trying my best to get into it as fast as I can, but I just can't seem to get into it.

The main character is Kaz Brekker, who is a criminal prodigy. He plans to do a deadly heist that can make him super-rich. But he can't make it alone, so he gathers a crew of 5 people who would pull off the heist with him. A convict with a thirst for revenge, A sharpshooter who can’t walk away from a wager, A runaway with a privileged past, A spy known as the Wraith, A Heartrender using her magic to survive the slums, and A thief with a gift for unlikely escapes. 

I love criminal books, and I haven't read this book, but it gives me the Ocean's 13 vibes, and I am absolutely in for it. I wish I could get into this book sooner, but I heard a Netflix series was being made about the book. I want to finish this duology and the Grisha Trilogy before Netflix decided to completely change the whole plot of the book for the show and ruin it for me.

Dash and Lily series, Rachel Cohn and David Levithan

I watched this series with a friend on Netflix, and I absolutely loved it. I finished the whole series in like 4-5 hours. This book is a bit different, and it might be for a bit younger age group, but I don't care. I loved the show way too much, and I'm gonna read it. It was a Netflix adaptation, so I am not sure how many significant changes there will be in the actual book, but let's see.

The series had 3 books -  Dash and Lily's book of dares, 12 days of Dash and Lily, and Mind the Gap Dash and Lily. All throughout the series, we see Dash and Lily's relationship grow after they meet as strangers when Dash finds Lily's book of dares that she created for Christmas. 

Dash and Lily are on my reading list for December, and I was hoping I could read it around Christmas, but I think school is going to ruin that plan for me. Still, I'm planning to finish this book before the clock strikes 2021.

My Favorite LGBTQ+ Books 🏳️‍🌈🏳‍🌈

As you all might know, it's June which mean it's Pride month! 🏳‍🌈🏳️‍🌈 Pride Month is the month where we celebrate the lives of those people part of the LGBTQ+ community. I read a few new LGBTQ+ books this month, and I've read many from before as well. I read one of the books I am going to mention like 2-3 days ago only, and yes, I liked that book that much for it to make it onto my favourites instantly).  I thought if I can make my bullet journal pride-themed I can also do a blog post on my favourite LGBTQ+ Books! Now this list would not specifically contain only LGBTQ+ romance. It'll have a book that showcases the LGBTQ+ community even though the main plot does not revolve around their romance.  Most of the LGBTQ+ books I have read on Wattpad, and I might be making a recommendation on that soon, but all of the books I am going to mention here are the ones that are actually published books.  1. Red White and Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston  "History, huh? Bet we ...

Chain of Gold Book Review ( Spoiler Alert!!)

-
Image
  I know I'm pretty late to do this since the book came out in March, and as of now, it's August, but I am still gonna do it.  The Chain of Gold is the first book in The Last Hours series and is set in Edwardian London and is the next generation story of The Infernal Devices series, which is set in Victorian London.  The book is mostly written from the point of Cordelia Carstairs, who is the female main character. Other main characters include James and Lucie Herondale, Thomas and Christopher Lightwood, Matthew Fairchild, Jesse, Grace Blackthorn, and Alastair Carstairs.  We were first introduced to this era in Tales from Shadowhunter Academy, where Tessa tells us about James and how he can slip in as shadows due to his demonic origins from his mother's side ( Tessa is his mother). We are also told about how Matthew and James become Parabatai.  Then in a few bonus chapters from Cassandra claire before the book's release,k we were told about the relationship of H...

Must Read Classics

        Little Women, Louisa May Alcott T his classic was published by Louisa May Alcott in 2 volumes, one in 1968 and the other in 1969. This story deals with the story of 4 girls Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy March. They live with their mother in Massachusetts  in poverty while their father is away for the war. It is a story written about the adventure, mistakes, and experiments of the four girls. I enjoyed reading this because of the fun the girls have and how they discover various aspects of life. Like me, Jo is a little tomboyish and enjoys to write, Meg was the eldest and is beautiful, Amy is still in school, but I find her a little bit dramatic, and Beth is the timid piano player. The March sisters had a neighbor Laurie which made the entire reading more fun with his black eyes and curly black hair. He was adopted by his grandfather and was being tutored by John Brooks to enter Harvard. You will definitely have bipolar moods reading this one. The recent mov...

5 Must-Reads for Teens

1. Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Rick Riordan   This book was my first ever book into the fantasy and teen fiction books. This book is filled with adventures of Demigods and centaurs and cyclopes and also with our sassy and funny protagonist Percy Jackson. This series takes you through the journey of Percy and his friends from stealing Zeus's lightning to holding the sky and going through the labyrinth. If you have already read this, you can read the excellent spin-off series The Heroes of Olympus, which has even more funny and sassy characters. The book is recommended for children above 12 and is like one of the best series that made me laugh and sometimes cry ( if you read the other spin-off, that's The Apollo Trials, no spoilers). But this is one of the best novel series I have ever read. 2. The Hunger Games, Suzanne Collins Teens, if you love Liam Hemsworth, you probably have already watched the movies, but you know books are better than films. So this book series is rig...
