Soundless by Richelle Mead ~ Review

Before I begin reviewing what has to be one of my favourite books of 2015, I want to firstly warn all of you that I am in a world of emotions. 

I have cried so many tears at this point that I'm going to have to buy a raft-building book. Why? So I can build a raft in order to stay afloat on the sea of my tears.

So, basically, if at any point in this review you come across a sentence or two that is just:
(A) Pure fangirling
(B) Constant sobbing
(C) Hardcore book boyfriend crushing
(D) All of the above
Please...just take into account that I stayed up until 4am to finish this book and caffeine was scarce!

A Recipe For Strong Female Characters ~ I'm A Guest Blogger!

Hey all! I just wanted to take a second to thank one of the loveliest bloggers and bookworms I know, Library Luv. 

You guys will probably remember that she was a guest blogger on my blog a little while back. Well working with her was so much fun that when she offered me the opportunity to be a guest blogger on her blog, I couldn't refuse! 

My post on her blog Beyond The Book Reviews is all about what makes a strong female character. Is it her words? Her actions? Her sacrifices? Here's a sneak peek of the post:

'It's not just her physical strength. She may be good with a bow like Katniss Everdeen, or a dab hand at spells like Hermione Granger - but it's not her skill set that defines her as strong. It's her mental capabilities. It's the way she's able to feel, to love, to lose, to sacrifice.  

It's her ability to take something terrible and turn it into something beautiful.'

Thank you so much again to Library Luv for the opportunity!

Booknut's Ramblings ~ 5 Book Clichés That Need To End

Welcome to Booknut's Ramblings!

Today's topic: book clichés.

What is a book cliché?

Web definition: an expression, idea, or element of book which has become overused to the point of losing its original meaning or effect, even to the point of being trite or irritating, especially when at some earlier time it was considered meaningful.

My definition: book clichés are like flies. You know they have a function, and they are a part of life...but they can be super annoying. You just want them gone! 

What are the most annoying book clichés?

Now that's a good question! Drawing on my own personal reading experiences, Internet research, and the responses you guys sent me via Twitter, I have compiled a list of the top 5 most annoying book clichés that need to end ASAP.

So let's get listing, shall we?!
