After a really long absence on this blog due to crazy summer schedules, it's time we show you the book we read in the past month. (July)

Emma:

1. An Ember In The Ashes - Sabaa Tahir

I really loved this book. You have to check it out! 4.5/5

2. Beyond The Kingdoms - Chris Colfer

This book was simply beyond ... my expectations. 5/5

It was a wonderful sequel just as good as the first book. 4/5

4.The Infinite Sea - Rick Yancey

Wow just wow! 4/5

Ashvini:

1. The Rule of Thre3 - Eric Walters

This book has a strange effect on you, even though I didn't love it, I can't stop thinking about it - every day. 3/5

2. The Terror Behind The Mask - P.J. Night

This new Creepover is fantastic, though I don't know if it beats my favourite Creepover - Read It And Weep. 4/5

3. The Mark of Athena - Rick Riordan

That last cliffhanger ... literally - :o 5/5

4. Miss. Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children - Ransom Riggs

Last time I loved a fictional/fantasy type book this much was during The Percy Jackson Era. 5/5

More reviews coming to a computer near you soon!

Yours Truly,

Ashvini and Emma

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...

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.

The Bookmark Debate - #SheSaysSheSays

Hello Everyone, Welcome to another very interesting edition of SheSaysSheSays...our little opinionated series where we input on all things bookish! Last segment, reviewers, Emma and Ashvini, both dished their two cents on the subject of ratings and their validity in the book-review-o-sphere! (We were incredibly delighted at your positive response and feedback, by the way, thank you for it all.) So this week were back at it again with some...bookmarks! Whoop-whoop! Today we're taking a slightly more comical approach on the series, by discussing the use of bookmarks and our personal responses and preferences with regards to them So, let's get on into it! Photo Source Link Ashvin i: Right off the bat, I’ve ought to admit; I don’t use bookmarks…or any sort of page marker, really with physical reads. Aside from being entranced by the allure of their cute paper patterns at bookstores, none of my page markers have ever been put to good use. Few have been ta...
