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:

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

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...

Interview With Jennifer A. Nielsen!

Photo Source Link Over the course of the past few months, TwoGirlsThatRead has been working on a really special surprise. When we started this blog nine months ago, we'd hoped that one day we'd be able to do cool stuff like this. However, we'd never in our wildest dreams (T Swizzle reference) thought we'd be able to do something like this so soon and with someone so kind and talented. This has been an amazing opportunity that we'd seriously like to thank Ms. Nielsen for. About a month ago, Jennifer A. Nielsen released her new book " A Night Divided." It's a historical fiction based around the Berlin Wall. Us, being the fangirls we are, were curious. about how Jennifer A. Nielsen wrote her books, and why she wrote her books, and just her writing books in general. So, after pulling a few strings we got the opportunity of doing an interview with her and POOF! Here we are now! For those of you that don't know, Ms. Nielsen is a New ...

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...
