Kristin Cashore – Fire
I had very high hopes for this book after loving Graceling so much, I can’t believe it’s been so long since I read it! Unfortunately, I felt a little let down by the entire thing. The book in general was very slow to get going, with a prologue that didn’t seem relevant until almost the

John Green – An Abundance of Katherines
I’m not going to lie, I decided I wanted to read this book because I’d read TFIOS and it was such an amazing book that I wanted to see if John Green was just a superb writer. On the basis of this book, I’d have to disagree. I’d read some comments on goodreads which said

John Green – The Fault in Our Stars
Having seen trailers for the film adaptation of this book, I thought I knew exactly what was going to happen, but the best authors have a way of ripping the foundations from under your feet. And I am currently residing in the same place that my heart sunk, the second floor basement, a place reserved

Veronica Roth – Allegiant
I don’t think I’ve ever been broken and put together so many times as I have when reading this book. I’ve been left with extremely mixed feelings. Overall, I really liked the book, but I just didn’t feel as compelled to keep reading as I did with Divergent and Insurgent. It took me over a

Veronica Roth: Insurgent
Wow wow wow. I finished my review of Divergent by saying that I thought this could become the next Hunger Games, and I think I may have been right. Quite often, the second book in a trilogy is a bit lackluster, stuck between the excitement of the first book and the dramatic conclusion of the

Veronica Roth – Divergent
I had high hopes for this book after hearing a lot of positive reviews and I’m happy to say I wasn’t disappointed. It had a lot to live up to after being mentioned many times as the next Hunger Games, a series which I absolutely loved, but I think if it’s possible, I may love

J.K. Rowling – Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows
It’s over! I actually can’t believe there’s no more left. I’ve been on a rollercoaster of emotions over the last week, with way more lows than highs, but the final high being the best one of all. Be warned that this review contains many, many spoilers, so if you’ve not read the book, I advise

J.K. Rowling – Harry Potter & The Half-Blood Prince
The first time I read this book, someone (not mentioning any names) spoilt the end for me before I’d even started, which annoyed me so much. You’ll know why if you’ve read this, but just in case I’ll try not to spoil it for you. I’ve only actually read this book once before, although I’ve

J.K. Rowling – Harry Potter & The Order of the Phoenix
When I updated my Goodreads status to say I was reading this book, there were a lot of reviews saying that this book was their least favourite of the HP series, but I disagree whole-heartedly. There’s A LOT that goes on in this book (and not just because it’s 766 pages long). The Ministry doesn’t

J.K. Rowling – Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire
To me, this book is where it all starts getting exciting, and it definitely takes a turn for the darker! This book is where I started to be suspicious of Snape’s allegiance when I first read the series, and reading it again, I get the same feelings. We know that Dumbledore trusts him implicitly, but
