October Wrap-Up

Hey Everyone, I am here with my October wrap-up and I know it's a little bit late, but I thought I would do this post anyway, because I have read a couple of books during the month of October. There were good ones and there were some, which disappointed me, but that is how it is with books, right?! So without further do, let's jump right into this:

Stay with me by J. Lynn aka Jennifer L. Armentrout:

This is the third book in the Wait for me series and this is a new adult contemporary romance. I loved the first two books in the series, but for some reason this disappointed me a lot. The story wasn't really for me andI also think the main characters were a little bit too basic, but that's just my opinion. Other than these little things, I enjoyed reading this book, it cheered me up and I will definitely pick up the next book in the series. You can find the book on Goodreads here.

The Naturals by Jennifer Lynn Barnes: 

I enjoyed reading this book so much. It didn't disappoint me at all, it was exactly what I was expecting it to be. My reason for picking this book was really simple: someone wrote a review on Goodreads, saying it's very similar to the Gallagher Girls series by Ally Carter (you can find my review for the Gallagher Girls series here or my Embassy Row series review here) and after reading that sentence I immediately ordered it. Okay, maybe I lied a little bit earlier about this book being everything what I expected it to be, because I didn't expect the story to go this way, but other than that it really gave me the feeling of a good Ally Carter book, except it wasn't written by her. You can find it on Goodreads here.

Rose Under Fire by Elisabeth Wein: 

If you have read my blog in the past year you know how much I love a good historical fiction book and I knew Elisabeth Wein wouldn't disappoint me after what she did to me with Code Name Verity (review here). And she didn't. I won't tell you a lot about my opinion on this book, because I want to write a review about this or if it's up by the time you read this I will link it here. Until that here is the link for the book on Goodreads.

Perks of being a Wallflower: 

Years ago when it was very popular and the movie came out I tried to read this book and I couldn't. I just hated it, I didn't understand it. But recently I felt the urge to pick this one up and this book suddenly talked to me. And I think the reason for that is I am just experiencing really growing up, the same as Charlie, the main character in this book does. And yes there will be a review about this one as well, because I just have to write the effects of this book out of myself.

The last month was super-busy and if I am going to be honest I never thought I won't be able to write posts on the blog regularly or take care of my bookstagram and this is something that disappoints me a lot. So one thing I want to change in the next few months is my time management, because now I am definitely not on top of that lately, so this is kind of a problem for me. i hope you are all having an amazing time and thank you so much for reading my belated wrap-up post.
Until next time,

June Wrap Up

Hey Everyone, since June is already over it's time for another wrap-up. I didn't do a May wrap-up, because I only read one book in that month, so I figured it would not make sense to do one. But in June I managed to read three books altogether, which is not too much, but it's enough to write a wrap-up. So, a lot of things happened in June, I have a full post about it, if interested go check it out here . Because of those things it wasn't my best reading month.
The first book I read in June was Salt to the sea by Ruta Sepetys and this book was just amazing. It made me cry, it made me laugh and most importantly made me afraid of ships even more than I already was. I have a full review on this one, so go read it if you are interested, just click here.
The next book I read was Be with me by Jennifer L. Armentrout. I have read Wait for me a couple of months ago and I liked it, so when I saw that the 2nd book in the series is coming out translated to Hungarian, I picked it up. I didn't like this as much as I liked the first one, but it was OK. It was a perfect for reading after my exams, because it'S a really easy and fast read. The story follows Tess and Jase and how they fall for each other, it's pretty basic, but the writing kind of makes it enjoyable. I liked the guy in the first book better, his name was Cam and at the same time I liked Tess in this book more than Avery from the first book. But since Cam and Tess are related to each other, I got where the similarity comes from. So if you're looking for a good romance for the summer, I definitely recommend this one.
And the last book I read in June was The Fixer by Jennifer Lynn Barnes. I am going to do a review about this book for next week, but I just want to say,it  was very impossible to put this book down. This story gave me the same feeling as the Gallagher Girls series by Ally Carter (click here for review) . The only thing I was missing from this book was a little bit of romance, so I hope there will be some in the next book.
This was my very sad and short wrap-up, but I hope I get to read next moth a lot more. I hope you enjoyed reading and if you have read any of these books, please tell me in the comments what you thought about them.
And one more thing is that yesterday I reached a 100 followers on Instagram and I am super happy about it. I am very thankful if you are following me and react to my pictures in some way and I am very excited about this first little milestone since I started my Instagram and my blog.
Until next time,

March Wrap Up

Hey Everyone,
today I'm here with my March wrap-up. I managed to read four books this month, beside learning for my final exams. The next month will be extremely stressful for me, so I was glad that I read four books this month. So here are the books I managed to finish in March:
Conspiracy of blood and smoke by Anne Blankman: I was so excited to read this book and I wasn'T disappointed at all. It's the sequel to Prisoners of night and fog. I have a review about this if you are interested click the link: http://booksdreamsandlifestyle.blogspot.hu/2016/03/conspiracy-of-blood-and-smoke-by-anne.html
My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick: This was a fast read contemporary novel. It was about first love and it was so cute. Click the link for the review: http://booksdreamsandlifestyle.blogspot.hu/2016/03/hey-everyone-sorry-for-uploading-this.html
Glass Sword by Victoria Aveyard: A fantastic sequel, with amazing plot-twists and I can not wait for the next book to come out. And let's be honest, you can not really resist that cover. Spoiler review: http://booksdreamsandlifestyle.blogspot.hu/2016/03/glass-sword-book-review-spoilers.html
Me before you by Jojo Moyes: Everyone has been talking about this one, so I thought: Why not read it?! And it made me think and cry and laugh at the same time. And that cover is also very pretty.  Click the link for review:
http://booksdreamsandlifestyle.blogspot.hu/2016/04/hi-i-just-finished-this-amazing-book.html
So these are the books, which ones I read through March. Basically beside reading I haven't done much this month, okay, probably I freak out daily, because of my exam coming, but other than that I think I had a pretty good reading month. If you have read any of these books, I would really like to know your opinion about them, so please write it in the comments.
Until next time,
B

January wrap-up

Hey Everyone,
today I'm going to do a january wrap-up as you could see from the title. This is going to be my first wrap-up post. I'm going to try to do a post like this every month, but It's only going to be interesting, if I don't post reviews about every book I read in the month. It's also the one month "anniversary" of the blog and I'm so happy I started it. So let's see what I've read this month:
My true love gave to me- edited by Stephanie Perkins: Well I read this book after Christmas, so I technically finished it in January. I have a review about this one, this was actually one of the first reviews on my blog. This book was so adorable and romantic and I would definitely recommend it for everyone, who is looking for a light Christmas-read. If you are not familiar with this book and what it's about, then check out my review here on the blog: http://booksdreamsandlifestyle.blogspot.hu/2016/01/my-true-love-gave-to-me-book-review.html
November 9 by Colleen Hoover: This book is a New Adult romance novel, filled with a lot of emotions and twists. It's interesting because the two main characters meet on the same day every year and we only get to see them on that one day every year. To see a longer review about this one click on the link: http://booksdreamsandlifestyle.blogspot.hu/2016/01/november-9-by-colleen-hoover-review.html
The young elites by Marie Lu: This was my least favorite read in January. It's not because I hated it, it's because the story wasn't interesting to me. I'm sure I'm going to continue reading the series, but the first book didn't impress me so far.
The last time we say goodbye by Cynthia Hand: This story is about so many many things, but maybe its main topic is besides teenage suicide is,what happens to those people, who are left behind. In this book Lex has to deal with her brothers death and also find her way back to normal life without her brother. I loved this book and it moved me in so many ways. I would totally recommend this, if you are looking for a really emotional read. Here is my review about it: http://booksdreamsandlifestyle.blogspot.hu/2016/01/the-last-time-we-say-goodbye-by-cynthia.html
Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell: I'm going to be honest: this book has been sitting on my shelf for ever and I felt really guilty because of it. I bought it 2 years ago when I was in England, because it was on sale and everyone said it's really good. This was my first Rainbow Rowell book and I kind of like her writing style. I am definitely going to pick up an other Rainbow Rowell book some time in the future. A quick summary about the book: It's about two teenagers, who start to sit beside each other on the bus and as they start to get to know each other they fall in love. They are also bot super-weird. This book is about a one-of-a-kind romance, which you will enjoy, because it feels real and sometimes irritating.
So these were the books I read this year so far and almost all of them were amazing and entertaining. I hope you enjoyed reading my wrap-up.
Talk to you soon,
Bianka
