Finally It is time that we show you the books that we read during the past month. (June)

Emma:

Gobbled by Ghorks - Robert Paul Weston

I read this book because I already read the first one (The Creature Department) - Review here. 3.5/5

The Boundless - Kenneth Oppel

A wonderful story about a boy named William and his big adventure on a train called the Boundless 4/5

The Story Thieves - James Riley

This book was not only really good but also had a great concept. What would you do if you could jump into books? 4.5/5

The Maze Runner - James Dashner

A book about a guy who has no memory and has been sent to a mysterious place in the middle of nowhere with about 50 other guys with no memory trying to find a way out of a maze? Count me in...

4.5/5

The Scorch Trials - James Dashner

The continuation of the Maze Runner. WARNING: READ AT OWN RISK IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE FIRST BOOK OF THE SERIES IF SO then carry on. (Ashvini: What? :) 4/5

Ashvini:

Ok, so I read three books this month. Definitely not my best and I'm going to blame it on last-minute projects. I can tell you already though that this month I'm doing way better. Two weeks in and I've already completed two books and am half-way through another..

1. The 5th Wave - Rick Yancey

We already have a review on this book which you can view - here. It's a really good book. I would say more, but I'm speechless at it's wickedness. 5/5

2. The Enchantress Returns - Chris Colfer

You can definitely expect a review of this in the coming weeks. I really enjoyed The Enchantress Returns. I have to say, definitely matches the same quality as The Land of Stories (which we reviewed - here), though I'm not sure yet if it has surpassed that level. 5/5

3. The Scorch Trials - James Dashner

I'm going to save my thoughts on The Scorch Trials for our review which I'm really excited about. Let's just say though that I found this book to be a little disappointing. (Emma: It was not that bad!) 3/5

More reviews coming to a computer near you soon!

Yours Truly,

Emma and Ashvini

The Dogs - Allan Stratton.

OMG guys! We've missed you! We've literally been drowning in homework these past few months and just had to give the reviewing and blogging a break. We are sincerely sorry for our sudden absence. However, it's summer now, so you can expect tons of new posts in the next little while... :) Photo Source Link: Emma: I had a great time reading The Dogs. First, I have to say that I loved the cover and how it showed the books scary qualities. I just love the look of that blood splattered title. I think that it drew me to the book more than the summary which did not captivate my attention nearly as much as I think it could have. If you are not a fan of scary books this book might not be your forté, but if you do enjoy scary books you are in for a treat. The book was also sprinkled with a little mystery throughout that really made you theorize all of the possible directions that the story could go in. I loved how Cameron (the main character) had to piece together w

Out With The Old - It's Time For Some Changes.

With school in full swing and crisp autumn air rolling in, it’s been about two months since the publishing of our last post. Two months . We’re sorry for that. Truly. Here’s the thing, though... TwoGirlsThatRead is our creative space. A place where we create content about what we love: literature. However, for too long we’ve been unsuccessfully attempting to continue our regular weekly schedule and have concluded the mission by posting for the sake of posting. That is not okay. We want to ignite TwoGirlsThatRead to its fullest potential, and to do so, we need to make a few changes... Quality over quantity . Our posts may not be regular, but you can still expect a few posts a month...we promise :), but we want to refocus on presenting the best representation of our ideas, thoughts, and writing. Improve our content . We’d like to spice it up a little. The origin idea for this blog was to create a space where we could discuss our ideas.

Wrapping Up Summer TBR.

Hello Everyone, As we bask in the last month of summer and all it’s glory, as the season comes to a close actually; we’re still holding onto some really amazing and “summery” novels in our TBR. So, as, booklovers it is our faithful duty to...READ THEM ASAP! Like, now. Before summer ends (or attempt to). So, the following novels, as requested by a wonderful reader, are 5 reads that are most definitely to be gobbled up by us before the end of the season. We have each selected two books that we would love to indulge in, regardless of whether or not the other has ANY interest for us to read it, and one that we both mutually MUST agree on. A total of five "summery" books shall be read. An updated post with mini reviews on each of the books shall come soon...wink, wink! Ashvini’s Pick: Until Friday Night - Abby Glines. Photo Source: Goodreads Maybe I’m pushing it here with Until Friday Night, as it is a novel following a
