Finally! A April/May Wrap Up!

Hey Guys, Girls, and Everyone in between! I'm super sorry, I have not posted anything in a long time! It was the last two months of school for me, which involved prom, senior awards, and graduation. Very fricken hectic :D Also May was a really bad reading month because I didn't read a lot and was in a reading slump. I started multiple books and finished two books for school. I also read one novella to my cousin before his bed time while babysitting. On the other hand, April was a really good reading month because I read seven books.

APRIL!
The books I read in April were:
  • Bound by Duty by Stormy Smith: 5/5 I absolutely adored this book and I got so addicted to it that I needed the next book right away! I even got the next book through the author Stormy, who is so sweet. Here is the link to my review if you are interested! :D  http://perksofbeingalatenightreader.blogspot.com/2015/04/bound-by-duty-by-stormy-smith-booktalk.html
  • Bound by Spells by Stormy Smith: 5/5 I continued my new addiction with the second book in the series (I think it is a series..I hope it is a series. :D). The plot got even better and I fell even more in love with the characters! I completely recommend this series! Can't wait for the next installment!! <3 <3
  • Dorothy Must Die by Danielle Paige: 5/5 I have to say that this book was super strange and weird, but in a beautiful and amazing way. I loved the characters and the plot was super amazing! 
  • Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs: 5/5 I really loved this book :D I specifically loved the uniqueness of the plot and the characters! I can't wait to pick up Hollow City! 
    • Doctor Sleep by Stephen King: 5/5 This book was my favorite book of the month! It was a spectacular sequel to The Shining! I also really loved the characters and their relationships! This book totally made me cry though because of how Danny was living in the beginning of the book..., but I still loved it regardless! I highly recommend The Shining and Doctor Sleep!
  • Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins: 5/5 I read this for the Dewey 24 Hour read-a-thon and I really enjoyed it. I really liked the plot and the characters ! I can't wait to continue on with the sequel! 
  • Once A Witch by Carolyn MacCullough: 5/5 This was a re-read for me during the Dewey 24 Hour read-a-thon. I have read this book multiple times and I loved this book just as much as I did all of the other times. :D 
Actually, I recommend all of these books! They were so good that it led me into a reading slump...yeah it happened. Also I did not really feel like read a lot of the time.

MAY!
The books I read/started/finished in May were:

  • The Firedragon by Mary Fan: 3/5 This was actually a novella I received for review, which I should have up sometime this month. I liked it. Although the main character really annoyed me at times, but she grew on me. I will go more in depth in my future review. :) 
  • I Am The Messenger by Marcus Zusak: 5/5 I really loved this book. It was breathtakingly beautiful and at times heart breaking. I loved the characters and the story-line. Also I had to read this for my English class. 
  • Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury: 2/5 or 2.5/5 I had to read this for my English class. I thought this classic was okay, but it had some faults for me. It was also really hard for me to get through. 
  • Demon's Blood by Shari Sakurai: This is a book I recieved for review and I read a total of 103 pages. I will finish this in June and post a review!
  • Different Seasons by Stephen King: I started this late in May and I'm reading the short stories in a certain order. I'm currently reading Apt Pupil, which is really good. 
  • Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead: This is a re-read caused by watching the movie lol I'm currently on page 100.

That was all I read in the months of April and May. I will be posting my TBR soon! Hope you have a great reading month!

Night of All Evil by J.M. Shorney

My Rating: 3/5 stars Average Rating: 4/5 stars Format: ebook ISBN13: 9781310806902 I received a free copy in exchange for a honest review from AuthorAmp.com Night of All Evil was a good gothic horror novel about a witch named Freya that has a dark past that comes back to haunt her and her family. Freya was my favorite character and I really enjoyed reading from her point of view. The thing I liked about her was how she acted in the situations she is placed in. She also is just an interesting person that also happens to be a super powerful witch, which is pretty cool. In fact once I started this novel, I had a hard time putting it down. While I really enjoyed reading the story, the character development was just okay and it was kind of predictable. However, it was still a good read that grabbed my attention and kept me entertained.                                                                                                                 Thanks for reading!  

DAY ONE! Reading Cram 2.0: Chills and Thrills Readathon! TBR Challenge!

"Oct 24-- TBR challenge- -List what books you are planning to read for the read-a-thon, on your blog, YouTube, etc. You don't have to stick to the list FYI :)"- Juliababyjen These are not in any particular order and I may or may not read these. This is a rough idea of the books I'll be reading or trying to read. Three of the six books were recommended to me by MonsterMen13 on YouTube...well not exactly to me but in general.  Also just because I wrote down six books does not mean I'll get to them or that I will read six books.  **The themes are based off of the summary and friends** Stardust by Neil Gaiman ; started Spooky Theme: Witches... I started this during the Octobathon and did not finish. Horns by Joe Hill Spooky Theme: Thriller, Mystery... I heard about this book from padfootandprangs07 a while back. Then my friend recommended it to me. Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children  By Ransom R
