Review - The Night We Said Yes by Lauren Gibaldi

(This review won't have a spoiler section because it's quite a short book and I don't want to spoil any of it)

This book is one of the cutest books I've ever read. It's a contemporary stand alone book and it's perfect for curing any book hangovers you may have.

It's set in the present day but has flash backs. The protgonist is called Ella and she meets Matt for the first time in the THEN sections of the book and in the NOW sections, it's where she see's him again. The events in the THEN chapters link to the NOW chapters and explain why thats happened in the NOW and you start to get the cute inside jokes.

This book has made me want to keep bracelets of each amazing day/night that I have because thats what Meg and Ella do in the book and I think it's such a cute idea.

OMG THIS BOOK WITHOUT THE DUST JACKET IS SO BEAUTIFUL YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND. So basically you need to buy it in hardback to get the full experience because I promise you, you wont regret it.

It's strangely relatable, everyone knows a couple which are so dysfunctional - that they just work together and you don't expect the two people to be with anyone else but eachother.

The only negative thing that I could think of was that the ending was quite cheesy but kind of a good cheesy? And the outcome of Ella seeing Matt (without spoiling) was predictable... BUT OTHER THAN THAT, AMAZING.

Overall I LOVED this book, all I wish is that there was a sequel so I could see more relationship development  (but that's just because I love it that much). You should definitley think about getting it in whatever form you wish because I'm so glad that I did.

I give this book 4 stars!

Review - Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare

Oh. My. God.

What a great end to a great trilogy. So many twists that made me both cry and laugh. 

Also, because I have read The Mortal Instruments before this series so many things were starting to make sense so if you haven't read TMI I'd recommend reading these first. 

Normally the third book in a trilogy is a let down but Cassandra Clare had gone against that because there are so many things that happen that you wish for in the second book. 

You find out so much more depth in this book and the turn of events lead me satisfied with the ending - it makes me so happy 

I give this 5 stars 

*** AND NOW FOR THE VERY SPOILERY SECTION SO PLEASE DO NOT READ IT IF YOU DONT WANT TO BE SPOILED ***

What an adventure. Magnus in this book took a journey himself and we get to see his caring side. From when he assists Will, when he helps Henry with the portal, and when he comforts Tessa after the loss of Will. I love this side of Magnus (eventhough I am a lover of his sassy side) 

Tessa. So many times throughout the  book I kept feeling like Mortmain was going to win and he was going to get her. But I'm so glad that he didn't and I'm also very happy that Tessa got to love both Will and Jem and experience two different lives within the book. The development that Tessa went through in this is amazing! When she changes into the Angel, her bravery was refreshing and something I'd never seen before. Go Tessa! 

Jem. You were responsible for most of my tears. First you use up the drug trying to please Tessa. Then, you have us think that you die but you come back during the battle and a silent brother - BROTHER ZACARIAH - and then you become mortal again. Too many feels James Castairs

Will. YAYAYAYAYAYAYAY! He gets Tessa in the end. The part where he finds Tessa and they're together just made me want to jump up and down, it really did. And they have children. And Jem plays to him before he dies and I was just so happy for him and all the developments in relationships. 

Jessamine. I was so sad when she does and thought that we would never see her again but the part when she comes back and tells Will to propose was amazing and I loved it. 

BYE MORTMAIN. The part that made me want to stab him was when he made Tessa change into his father just.... UUGGGGHH. But the infernal devices failed and all is well now

Book purchases

Hi guys!

So I haven't finished Clockwork Princess yet I'm only 173 pages in because I've just been so busy. However, I visited waterstones today and picked up some new books (I really shouldn't have sorry bank account) that I thought I'd share with you

First book - The Lie Tree by Frances Hardinge

I saw the book one of the stands around the shop and the tag line at the top caught me right away. 'There's no such things as a little white lie'. So I read to blurb and needed to buy it! This book has also been named Costa's book of the year for 2015 so if it's good enough for Costa, it's good enough for me. 

Second book - Throne of Glass by Sarah J Mass

I've wanted this book for ages now because Sasha (abookutopia) and Ben (benjaminoftomes) two of my favourite book tubers have reviewed it and loved it so I thought that I'd give it ago. 

Onto the TBR pile they go
