More Popular Books I Have Not Read

Hello everyone! Today I will be sharing with you more popular books that I have not read. There are so many popular books out their that I still have to read and there are so many that I want to read but just have not gotten the opportunity to get to yet. If you see any of your favorites let me know and maybe I will bump it up on my TBR list. I am also avoiding very new releases and sequels as that would add even more books to this list. These are not all the popular books I have not read so there will be another part coming in the future!


The first book I am going to mention is The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevado. This book has been talked about quite a bit and it sounds very interesting. I know it also won some sort of award that that intrigues me even more. I really have no idea what this book is about but I do know that their is some sort of slam poetry element. I also believe that this book is told in verse. Do not quote me since I am not sure if that is true. I do hope to read this book soon but I say that about every book.




The next book is Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi. This book is a Nigerian inspired fantasy novel that takes place in a world where magic is outlawed. I believe it is inspired by Avatar as well. The main character, I think, is trying to to restore magic. As you can tell, I am really bad at giving a synopsis of books I have not read yet. I am excited to read this but have no idea when I will get to it.




Another popular book I have not read is Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan. I have really been wanting to read this book ever since the movie came out. No, I still have not watched the movie because I like to read the book before watching the movie. I am that person. This book is about a women name Rachel who is dating a guy name Nick and Nick happens to be part of one of the richest families in Singapore and she learns this when they visit his family there. I heard such good things about it and hope to get to it soon so I can finally watch the movie.



Scythe is a book that has been getting quite a lot of hype recently. This is a dystopian following that takes place in a world where people no longer die so they have people called Scythes who kill people to control the population. The main characters are Scythe apprentices training to be Scythes I think and they do not want to be there. The concept sounds so cool and I heard nothing but good things about it and I do hope to read it soon (she says about every book)





The final popular book on this list but not the last one is going to be Circe by Madeline Miller. I heard so many people talk about Circe and they all seem to really enjoy this book. This book is about Circe who is part of Greek Mythology. That is all I really know about the book. It also has a stunning cover which is one of things that made me intrigued to read the book other than the hype. I do not know much about it but I do want to pick it up in the future because I do want to know why people love this book so much.



Those are some more popular books I have not read. What is a popular book you have not read yet? Thank you so much for reading and I hope to see you in my next post!

Every Heart a Doorway [ Spoiler Free ] Review

Title: Every Heart a Doorway
Author: Seanan McGuire
Series: Wayward Children #1
My rating: 3.5/5 stars
Date Read: 5/13/19

Every Heart a Doorway is a book I never planned on picking up mainly because I had little interest in it but I continued to hear such good things about the book and since it is so short I finally caved and read it and am so glad I did because I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would.

This is more of a short story then a book mainly because it is under 200 pages. This book takes place in a world where some children open up doors and get transported into another world. After awhile, sometimes they leave or get kicked out and can not find their way back. When they return to the world that we know of today, some want to go back to what they call home, the world they traveled to. Those students get sent to the Wayward Children's boarding school. There is also a murder mystery element in it as well.

The beginning of this book was quite confusing to me and it took be a little to get into the story, but about 1/3 or 1/4 of the way through, the story started to pick up and I found myself more interested in what was going on.

My biggest complaint about the book is that it was to short. I felt like the story needed another 100-150 pages for it to be an amazing read. I felt like the world building and character development was not that well done as it could of been because the size of the book. I also wanted the mystery to be better developed and a lot of things seemed a bit rushed.

I did love the concept of the book though and I really enjoyed the story and the writing. I liked the characters however I wanted to know them better and I am planning on reading the other books in the series in the future. Overall I do recommend ii, but keep in mind that because it is a short read, some plot points, the character development, and world building, may seem rushed.

Everless [ Spoiler Free ] Review

Title:Everless
Author: Sara Holland
Series: Everless #1
My rating: 4.5/5 stars
Date Read: 5/1/19

Everless is a book I hard floating around social media here and there and the cover really caught my eye. I have not heard much about this book and did not know much about the story before going into the book other than that people's time is currency. This means the rich live long lives while the less fortunate live shorter lives. That was all I knew about going into the book and that is all I think you also should know going into the book.

I feel like Everless is a book that the less you know the more you will enjoy the book because there are a lot more surprises and twists.

When I first started reading this book, I was sucked into into the book within the first few chapters of the book. After I was hooked, I struggled to put the book down. I needed to know what was going to happen next.

I really liked all the characters in the book that I was supposed to like. I enjoyed reading about the main character and she is surprisingly one of my favorite characters. Usually the main character is one of my least favorites. I will say that the main character made some decisions I did not agree with but don't all main characters do. My favorite character in this book has to be Liam. I loved learning more about his story.

I loved the world of Everless and it was very easy to follow.

Overall I do recommend this book and think more people should read it. Definitely one of the most surprising in a good way reads I have read this year.

From Twinkle With Love [ Spoiler Free ] Review

Title: From Twinkle, with Love
Author: Sandhya Menon
My rating: 3.5/5 stars
Date Read: 4/36/19



From Twinkle with Love is a book I heard a lot of mixed reviews about and I am in the middle. I liked some parts of it and there are some parts that really frustrated me.

This book is told in letters Twinkle writes to her favorite female filmakers and I absolutely love that about it. I felt like it added a lot to the story. The main character is an aspiring filmaker and seeing her look up to her role models throughout the story definitely helped boost my enjoyment of the book.

Twinkle has a long time crush on this guy name Neil. When Neil's twin brother, Sahil, asks her to direct a film for the Midsummer festival, Twinkle accepts because she will finally get a great opportunity to direct a film and she could also possibly get closer to Neil. But then, she finds herself falling for Sahil.

The main character is 16 however, the book reads more like she is 13 or 14 years old. It did not bother me to much though since I am currently 17 and know some people around my age who also act younger than they are actually are so it is not something that is unrealistic, it is just her personality. I do know that some people would be bothered by it though.

The main character is not perfect and makes mistakes throughout the book. She is flawed. Same as her friends but if you are looking for a book with not perfect characters that learn from their mistakes this one may be for you.

Also the main character is Indian American so if you are looking for a book with an Indian American lead, this one is perfect. There are also quite a few diverse side characters as well.
