Alexa | 24 comments Aiming for 75 books this year! I'll be posting full reviews on some so yeah :)
I'm not deliberately going to spoil stuff, I put important spoilers in that spoiler HTML thing..and anything else is no big deal, besides its my thread so read at your own risk.
And all the long reviews should be linked, if not then I haven't written anything/or it was short and fitting the post :) x

City of Bones by Cassandra Clare

What....was that. I can't believe it took me a few hours to finish it! I was hooked since the very beginning. I loved all the characters, especially Simon aw!! The fact that there were lots of encounters with other paranormal creatures was fab!! :D I can't wait to start reading book #2, as I have lots of questions I need to have answered.

Getting Revenge on Lauren Wood by Eileen Cook

I liked this book, it was a fun, lighthearted read and I wasn't expecting to be blown away and I wasn't so it's all good :)! Which exactly brings me to my exclaimer, do NOT expect something big when starting to reading this. It was a funny mean-girls-high-school type of book, I only read it because I had it laying around here in my room and the fact that it was a short & quick read.

Pride & Popularity by Jenni James

I love Jane Austen retellings, I cannot wait to read the rest of Jenni James's Jane Austen Diaries. Pride & Popularity was a great book and Taylor had me swooning. Literally. ;)

Gone by Michael Grant

Oh how I loved this book, perfectly action-packed, it was loooong but it felt like a 50 paged book..let alone 558, I just couldn't put it down. Sam<3
I couldn't stand Drake and Diana though LOL, definitely looking forward to the rest of the series....rest of the review

Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi

Ah it was brilliant!! Really unique writing style, action packed, gushy-mushy love story and fast paced!
Although... it lacked dystopian world creation. Looking forward to book 2...longer review
