#27 of 52, Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard I liked this way more than I expected! She keeps the action moving so quickly, there's no time to be bored as you learn about a new world, and though the world itself is nothing terribly original, the realistic way that she makes the relationships complicated and the way she portrays that there are no good choices, no good paths forward for this society made the book a serious cut above most in the genre. I'll definitely be reading the rest of the series.

Books 1-4 of 2017

Milk and Honey was my book 6 of #booksof2017. Rarely has a book touched me quite as much as this one. I don't often read poetry in the first place, but these raw and honest, bitter sweet words speak to me so powerfully that it hurts in the best of ways. @rupikaur_ touches upon love and the bittersweet universe of feelings it comes with in such a personal way and I feel lucky to be able to read through my very own feelings because someone else was brave enough to write them down. This is a book about togetherness and solitude, love and pain, hope and despair, grief and overcoming. For everyone that ever struggles with feeling understood, do yourself a favor and read this piece of art. Thank you to @noordinaryamy for introducing this book to me! #literature #poetry #art #love #life #litlover #read #readmore #selflove #reading #egosum #books #bookstagram

"It fascinated me that she thought she had a heart." Finished! Can't wait to read the next one. Not sure if Paige's character development was 100% solid, but I think The Mime Order will answer that. Along with the ten million other questions I have! It's a good thing Book 3 is coming out soon.

"They took what is ours. And we do not allow those crimes to go unpunished." "You do not fear," Rhys breathed. "You do not falter. You do not yield. You go in, you get her, and you come out again." I nodded again, holding his stare.  "Remember that you are a wolf. And you cannot be caged." -ACOWAR . . #bookstagram #booksaddict #book #booksofinstagram #books #booksof2017 #bookinstagram #bookinstagrammer #bookaholics #booksph #bookseries #acowar #acourtofwingsandruin #sarahjmaasquotes #bookquotes #bookblogger #bookblog #bookblogs #fairy

I don’t usually post twice in one day, but I’ve suddenly realised that I didn’t share my favourite books of 2017... It’s now 2018 (only the second day in, i can be forgiven🙊) Anyway, I had a few but I whittled it down to these three: The Power by Naomi Alderman 📚 Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur 📚 Good Me Bad Me by Ali Land 📚 I loved The Power because it’s the first kind of feminist women rule book I’ve ever read. And I thought it was great! I mean it wasn’t like all just women if you’re not into that stuff, the characters were both men and women, just the women, erm, killed the men??? The whole theme is that the women have found they were born with a Power, which they use to control, well men... Who don’t have the power ✌🏻 Milk and Honey was the first poetry book I read, and enjoyed! More then enjoyed, fell in love with! 🥛🍯 I have Washi taped a load of my fave poems, and it’s so easy to just pick up and read a little bit of now and then. I added Good Me Bad Me to my faves of 2017 because I literally read it in one and a half days... Yes. I spent all day and a whole morning devouring this book and being very pleasantly (or you could say unpleasantly) suprised at the end! I found this books so easy to read, the story was fun to follow, and the ending was fantastic (in a way) *i don’t want to add spoilers!* 🥀 #bookbloggers #milkandhoney #thepower #goodmebadme #bookish #goodreads #booksof2017 #favebooks #youshouldread #igreads #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #booklife #booknerd #onmyshelf

✨ END OF A YEAR ✨ 🇬🇧For the last day of 2017 I thought of a book which touched me the most this year. It’s “God is not shy” by Olga Grjasnowa (@aufbau_verlag ). A piece of literature about the refugee crisis all over the world, told by two people who happen to find themselves on the run by accident basically. A must read for all the stupid and not educated who bash foreign cultures and all those who seek shelter in other countries! #booksofinstagram #bookstagram #literature #mustread #booksof2017 🇩🇪 Eines der besten Bücher, die ich dieses Jahr gelesen habe. Bewegend, direkt, ohne Filter. Öffnet die Augen für all die anderen Welten da draußen, die nicht unsere eigenen sind. Kann die Lesung von #olgagrjasnowa in #Bremen nicht abwarten 📚📖💙 Auf ein weiteres Jahr mit tollen Büchern, Geschichten und bewegenden Momenten. #happynewyear #literaturtipp #makereadingsexyagain #litnerds (at Bremen, Germany)

#47 of 52, Raven Flight by Juliet Marillier The series continues to be solid, in Marillier’s typical style. Definitely want to read book 3 and see how it all ends.
