Read this month: September

Ugh. That basically sums up this month. School is back and so are the daily reminders of how much I hate leaving my bed. The hallways are an especially scary place for a girl who stands at 5 foot 1. You can probably guess that I haven't read all that much this month but in case you haven't this is your warning. Please don't be disappointed with me. I tried my best. In this wrap up I reviewed: The 5th Wave. Heir of Fire, and Just One Night.

The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey Review+Discussion

Much to my surprise I did enjoy it. The aliens have invaded and 97% of the human population is dead. They die in waves. First the aliens cut off the earths electricity and motors. Then there are the floods. And then there is the plague and the "silencers". And so now the people left await the 5th wave. I can't say much without spoiling anything but the story follows a 16 year old girl named Cassie trying to save her little brother. It's fast paced and the writing is fantastic. There are multiple points of view and because all the plots are linked we hear about the same characters from different POV's so it is really enjoyable. I found Cassie to be very entertaining as well. The characters had such diverse personalities so I did have a good time reading it. On to the spoilery section!

Heir of Fire review and discussion

All of the stars because Celaena rattles the stars. Spoiler free review Celaena returns bent and broken but damn she made a speedy recovery. We are introduced to new characters and new plots in this installment of the series. It was formidable. All of it. The writing was amazing, the character development was better than ever and the story is beyond words. I highly highly recommend every book in this series. Novellas and everything. I think it's safe to say that this is my favourite series of all time. I love it even more than The Infernal Devices trilogy. I'm so sorry Will but it's the truth. If I go into any detail at all it will spoil you so I'm just going to leave this hoping that you all get the message. 

Onyx by Jennifer L. Armentrout review/discussion

 These books are really good to read over a longer period of time. I read a few pages every night before going to bed and it was the highlight of my day. I think that if you read it in one sitting you'll get way too annoyed with the characters and then you'll end up hating the book. Sooooo if you have yet to read these books (or if you tried reading them but just couldn't because of  hair pulling and book throwing  all the frustration it caused, I recommend taking on a new approach. Take baby steps. Don't bite off more than you can chew, if you will. Try reading it little by little. No spoilers section (I don't think anyone's reading this seeing as I am the last person on earth to read these books) Daemon earned serious brownie points in this book and Katy didn't even see it. HE BUYS HER A STRAWBERRY SMOOTHIE !!! I'd marry him right then and there. I found Katy and Dee's relationship lacking though. They addressed this issue near the end but it
