END OF DAYS (Penryn and the End of Days #3) by Susan Ee

June 2, 2015

Audiobook cover of END OF DAYS (Penryn and the End of Days #3) by Susan EeReading End of Days made me wish Angelfall was a standalone. The series of Penryn and the End of Days held so much promise, especially with Angelfall, which I found very original with its unconventional portrayal of angels.

FANGIRL by Rainbow Rowell

January 10, 2015

Book cover of FANGIRL by Rainbow RowellFangirl was funny and sweet and wonderful. What I liked best was the college setting without an intense focus on romance. This book was about Cath who tried to find herself, even though she felt she was losing everything. She so desperately tried to hold on to familiarity through her high school boyfriend, her father and most importantly to her, her twin sister Wren. For the first time, she had to be truly independent. I believe that for many, college is the time to find oneself and Rowell presented this transition very well in Fangirl.

ANGELFALL (Penryn & the End of Days #1) by Susan EE

December 16, 2014

ANGELFALL (Penryn & the End of Days #1) by Susan EeTruth be told, I decided to pick up Angelfall because I could get the audiobook for free via Kindle Unlimited. Angelfall wasn’t actually on my TBR list but I was in search for an audiobook and practically all my friends on Goodreads who read the book liked it. Only one person was disappointed, so the odds were in my favour. This also meant that since I hadn’t planned on reading it, I had zero expectations.

GET HAPPY by Mary Amato

November 19, 2014

GET HAPPY by Mary AmatoGet Happy is such a sweet book with the right amount of conflict and tension. I liked Minerva right from the start. She was kinda bratty at first but a very self-aware brat fluent in sarcasm, so reading this book amused me tremendously.

THE GEOGRAPHY OF YOU AND ME by Jennifer E. Smith

November 11, 2014

THE GEOGRAPHY OF YOU AND ME by Jennifer E. SmithWhen I finished reading The Geography of You and Me, I wasn’t terribly impacted but I could appreciate the good parts of the book. The thing about life is that a lot of experiences are so outrageous, we’d be in utter disbelief were we to read about them in a book.
