Sleeping Giants by Sylvain Neuvel 

Sleeping Giants by Sylvain Neuvel 

Asdfghshshsbsjs! I am just speechless at how amazing this book was and I am so so excited to start reading the second book! For me, Sleeping Giants is like a hidden gem. I didn’t really know what to expect going into it. All I knew was that the cover was pretty and it was about a scientist who discovers something strange. It sounded pretty good to me!

Netflix 3% Review

Netflix 3% Review

Netflix’s 3% is the first original series from Brazil. 3% follows the beginning of The Process, as the 20-year-olds striving to reach the promised land known as the Offshore, sign up for a series of difficult physical, mental and social challenges which aim primarily to reduce their numbers. The main goal of The Process is to dwindle the hundreds of candidates down to 3%, since only 3% are able to be sent to the Offshore.

But there was something… Something about this book that made me want to read til the very end so that has to be worth something, right?

Traitor to the Throne by Alwyn Hamilton

Traitor to the Throne by Alwyn Hamilton

After reading the much-loved Rebel of the Sands, Traitor to the Throne jumps ahead nearly a year to when the Rebellion has gained much more ground and Amani is fighting for what she believes in. I feel like this book suffered the second-book-syndrome. That’s not to say it was rubbish (because it really wasn’t!) it just wasn’t as good as the first one – hence the four stars instead of the five.

February 2017 Book Haul

February 2017 Book Haul

I should get a medal. Or a gold star. Or a pat on the head. Because I have carried on with my good behaviour and I’ve hardly bought any books this month. I looked around my room and I realised that I was surrounded by books that I have still yet to read and I have enough space for about three more books on my shelf…

Hence the small book haul. But let’s just get on with it! These are the books that I bought in February…
