Open Letters: Lissa Dragomir (The Vampire Academy Series)

This letter was written in an interview-style because she is - of course- a queen, not just anyone can send her letters. Also, this is her Highness's copy
Dear Your Highness Vasilisa,
How are you? Is all well? I just have a couple questions for you today, I know you have a busy schedule. First,…

Red Rising (Red Rising #1) by Pierce Brown

5 out of 5 stars
Red Rising is the first of a science-fiction series and debut book of new author Pierce Brown. This is easily one of the best books I have ever read, and that's saying something. Red Rising follows a boy named Darrow who is a Red. Some five hundred years ago, Reds were brought t…

Goodbye, 2015: Best Books of 2015

What year 2015 has been, and as this great year comes to an end, we become hopeful that the next will be even greater. But before we truly serenade this 2015 goodbye, I'm going to make a list of the best books I've read this year in no particular order, when they come to mind:
1. Obsidian …

The Force (Re)Awakens: A Star Wars Post








In celebration of the new Star Wars movie-for which I'm absolutely stoked for- I decided to write a post on the evolution of the Star Wars film saga.




The first ever Star Wars movie came out in 1977, it was entitled Star Wars: Episode IV: A New Hope. The plot of this film focused on the Rebel Alliance, led by Princess Leia played by Carrie Fisher and their effort to destroy the Death Star (the Galactic Empire's Space Station). This conflict interrupts Luke Skywalker's (played by Mark Hamill) quite farmland life, and he accidentally gets involved by taking robots that have plans for the potential destruction of the Death Star.

The sequel to Star Wars: A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back was released in 1980. This followup is set three years into the future of A New Hope when the Galactic Empire's has fallen under the rule of Darth Vader and the Emperor Palpatine. Luke Skywalker's is taken under the wing of Jedi Master Yoda to study and master the Force. In the meantime, Darth Vader is on a mission to eliminate the Rebel Alliance whose purpose is to bring him and the Emperor Palpatine down. Ultimately, Luke has to decide whether to finish studying the Force and become a Jedi Knight or cast it aside and come to his friends' aid.

Star Wars: The Return of the Jedi (1983) takes place a year after The Empire Strikes Back, the dilemma in this one is now strictly the Emperor Palpatine whose plan is to build a second Death Star to get rid of the Rebel Alliance one and for all. Meanwhile, Luke (who always seems to be doing his own thing) is trying to bring back Darth Vader, who turns out to be Luke's father Anakin, a formerly fallen Jedi, from the Dark Side of the Force.

Comparing Covers (U.S, U.K editions, etc): The Trials of Apollo (The Hidden Oracle #1) by Rick Riordan

The U.S and U.K covers for the first book of the Hidden Oracle series by Rick Riordan, The Trials of Apollo have been revealed! To me, all of Rick Riordan's books have- more or less- the same overall themes when it comes to the covers. Don't get me wrong, I think it's a good thing. I l…

Open Letters: Dimitri Belikov (The Vampire Academy Series)

Dear Dimitri,

First question: Why are you so perfect? You're a modest guy, so you'll most likely deny the perfection statement, but that's just one of the many reasons I (and about a million other girls) find you perfect. Let's continue with the list, shall we? 2) Your Russian acce…

New Year's Resolutions 2016

This is the first time I officially make a list of New Year's Resolutions, that's probably because I don't usually stick to them (especially if the're a little far-fetched, which is most of the time), but this year (or rather, next year) I'll stick to them (hopefully). Anyway, …

The Secrets of Blood and Bone by Rebecca Alexander

3.5 out of 5 stars
*I received this book from Blogging for Books, but this doesn't influence my review at the all.

Okay, so this was an interesting book, with a slightly new take on vampires and supernatural creatures. One thing I would have to say was a con for me was the writing. Partly becaus…

Another new segment, guys! I'm just swimming with great ideas, aren't I? This new segment, as you've obviously seen in the title of the post already is "Comparing Covers" (very original, I know) Here I'll be comparing covers of different editions of a certain book.

Open Letters: Rose Hathaway (The Vampire Academy Series)

Dear my fiery Roza,

*Attempting to play cool and indifferent* Hey Rose! What's up, girl? How's goin'? I wrote (or rather, typed) this letter for because I wanted to discuss a few things with you. I have nothing to complain about to you about, unlike previous recipients of my letters, (*…
