I'm a bit late in posting the January reading-wrap up because I have offline exams coming up and it'll be hard for me to keep up with my writing schedule till March or at least till the date my exam end. I read around 29 books in the month of January and thought I should do a Reading Wrap-Up. Although I have not included Wattpad Books in my review. Only those books which are on Goodreads are being counted here for the list. January was a good reading month for me. I don't know how February will be as a reading month but I hope it's not bad. 1. Unravel Me  and   Ignite Me  AUTHOR -   Tahereh Mafi SERIES -   Shatter Me RATINGS -  ⭐⭐⭐ TROPES -  Enemies to Lovers, Found Family, Dystopian ABOUT  -  Unravel me  and Ignite me  are the 2nd and 3rd books in the Shatter Me series. The series is about Juliette, who has a power that makes her touch fatal to everyone. Now the Re-establishment wants to use her as a weapon.  MY REVIEW - I was forced to read this book by my best friend

I’ve read so many books, and some of the books have become my home. Reading those books makes me feel like I’m returning back home. I have re-read these books so many times that I can recite paragraphs of the book word-to-word. Here are some book universes that have become a home for me, and I would do anything to get an opportunity to visit these universes.  The word Hiraeth perfectly describes my feeling when I talk about Velaris or Hogwarts. 1. Grishaverse (Leigh Bardugo)  " When everyone knows you are a monster, you needn't spend time doing every monstrous thing." If I could be a part of the Grishaverse in any form, I would die. I will sell my soul to be part of the Crows especially. I did not like the Shadow and Bone series too much, but Six of Crows and King of Scars duology have me by my heart. I absolutely loved it! I love criminal books, and I love heists, even more, making me love the Six of Crows even more. I've read around 3-4 books about a heist, and I ho

Valentine's day is coming, and love is supposed to be in the air. Well, for some people, at least, I am sitting in my home writing about fictional characters and their pairings, so who am I to say? So since I am gonna be drinking hot chocolate and reading A Court of Mist and Fury at home, I decided to do a second part of my favorite OTP's. I am going to put the link to the first one down. OTP's are Fictional couples who are endgame from my favorite novels! As much as I love to sit at home and binge The Vampire Diaries, I won't be including Damon and Elena or Klause and Caroline (I ship them more than I ship Stefan and Caroline!) because I haven't read the books.  Kaz and Inej, Six of Crows "I would come for you, and If I couldn't walk, I'd crawl to you." This couple was the most awesome couple I have ever shipped. I mean, the satisfaction that I got when Kaz let Inej hold his hand without gloves was one of the best feelings ever. Kaz Brekker is the

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

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

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
