Top 5 Tuesday – Top 5 covers of 2019

Hello Lovelies!

Here’s my weekly Top 5 Tuesday hosted by the wonderful Shannah @Bionic Bookworm Blog (go check out her blog; it’s amazing!). This week will feature (as the title suggets) my Top 5 covers of 2019. You know the saying “don’t judge a book by its cover”? Well ,the people who say that have clearly never seen a to die for, gorgeous cover and that’s that. In all seriousness, I think covers are very important but the content is important too haha. Anyway, without further ado, let’s admire those beautiful covers.

UPDATE: I read the title wrong and posted some of my favorite covers ever and not of 2019 because I’m lame haha. Hope you’ll still enjoy.

Top 5 Tuesday – Books Beginning With F – G – H – I – J

Hello everyone!!

I’m back for a TOP 5 TUESDAY hosted by Shannah @Bionic Bookworm Blog (go check out her blog; it’s amazing!). So this month we’re doing letters instead of topics and I really like the idea so thank you, Shannah! Here we goooo.

LETTER F-

 

Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell

I absolutely adored Fangirl. I had a hard time with Eleanor and Park but Fangirl reconciled me with her writing. I love how the book deals with settling into college, the question of fan fiction considered as real literature and the relationship between Cath and Levi. Bonus is that Cath (the main character)  has a twin sister, just like me and I loved how we can see their dynamic and the challenges they face as twins. I recommend!

LETTER G-

Geekerella by Ashley Poston

I read Geekerella when I was struggling with my first year of college, and I just lost the envy of doing anything, especially reading. And this book saved me. I loved the modern twist to the classic Cinderella tale. I loved all the pop culture references and it made me realize that I was in fact, a geek. The love story is so so so cute! The second instalment in the series is amazing too; you check out my review here.

LETTER H-

 

Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling 

I could not, not include the Harry Potter series. I did not read the books as a child, so I sometimes feel like a fraud in the Harry Potter-verse but I just adore these books. They’re entertaining, funny, gripping, make you cry or bite your nails in fear and they have amazing complex characters and storylines. If you haven’t read them, it’s not too late.

LETTER I-

I Have Lost My Way by Gayle Forman

How could I not include my favorite author? This book is her latest and I loved it! It deals with three completely different characters who have lost something in their lives (parents, boyfriends, sisters) and they spend the day together and finally find themselves again. It’s about love, passion and friendships.

LETTER J-

Just One Day by Gayle Forman 

MY FAVORITE BOOK EVER. No joke.  You know how some books shape you? Well, this was the case for this one. It has Shakespeare, stage actors, love AND Paris!

The Princess and The Fangirl by Ashley Poston – 5 stars Review (Spoiler-Free!)

Hello lovelies!

I’m back for a review and this time it’s for The Princess and The Fangirl by.  It is the second book in the “Once Upon a Con” series but you don’t have to have read Geekerella, although some characters are back in this one. This was a 5 stars read for me! Hope you’ll enjoy this review!

Summary: The Prince and the Pauper gets a modern makeover in this adorable, witty, and heartwarming young adult novel set in the Geekerella universe by national bestselling author Ashley Poston.
Imogen Lovelace is an ordinary fangirl on an impossible mission: save her favorite character, Princess Amara, from being killed off from her favorite franchise, Starfield. The problem is, Jessica Stone—the actress who plays Princess Amara—wants nothing more than to leave the intense scrutiny of the fandom behind. If this year’s ExcelsiCon isn’t her last, she’ll consider her career derailed.
When a case of mistaken identity throws look-a-likes Imogen and Jess together, they quickly become enemies. But when the script for the Starfield sequel leaks, and all signs point to Jess, she and Imogen must trade places to find the person responsible. That’s easier said than done when the girls step into each other’s shoes and discover new romantic possibilities, as well as the other side of intense fandom. As these “princesses” race to find the script-leaker, they must rescue themselves from their own expectations, and redefine what it means to live happily ever after. (Goodreads)

Rating: 5 glorious stars
