The 5th Wave - Rick Yancey.

TwoGirlsThatRead Is Glad To Present: A spoiler section! With a bold warning before so it's not like we didn't warn you! We no longer bottle up our feelings and reactions with spoilers in them with our new and improved system ...  Photo Source Link Ashvini's Rating: 5/5 Emma's Rating: 4.5/5 Ashvini: OMG! The 5 th Wave was so wicked, I don’t know why I didn’t read it sooner!  Rick Yancey is honestly the writer. The way he took apart what we knew as our world and reconstructed it to become The 5 th Wave was so efficiently done. I want to add that Rick Yancey really thought out and planned his characters and the way they think, the way they fight. It was so realistic the way when all those issues arrived how each character realized so many things about life and the world. I mean I can picture those realizations as being actual realizations from the characters if The 5 th Wave really occurred. Cassie's narration I have to say is really comple...

Ever After High: Storybook of Legends - Shannon Hale.

Photo Source Link  Emma's Rating:  4/5 Ashvini's Rating: 4/5 Emma's Review:  Every thing in this book was great. I had heard about it and wanted to read it so badly so when a friend told me that she had the book, read it and suggested it. I knew that I really had to ask to read it. So yes I did eventually read it and yes it was borrowed:( I found every thing about this book fascinating From the beautiful art work to the wonderlandiful concept. The artwork starts on the cover but decorates the inside as well. Another cool thing is that this book is actually fairy tail based:) I love books that do that. We actually did a review on one (The Land Of Stories)  Although unlike the Land of Stories it is about a bunch of teenagers who are all decedents of the famous fairy tale characters that we all know and love. Now in this story the decedents go to a school called ..........drumroll you guessed it <Ever After High  (do you see my litt...

The Night Gardener - Jonathan Auxier.

Photo Source Link Emma's Rating: 3.5/5 Ashvini's Rating: 4/5 Emma: I really enjoyed reading The Night Gardener. At the beginning of most books I normally find them a bit slow. I guess that most authors have trouble making their readers interested at the very start of their books. I always make sure that I always finish a book even if I am not finding it interesting since books tend to get better towards the middle but this book was not like that. It was engaging the whole time. I found that the author was using adjectives to encourage the reader to read on. It has the perfect balance of magic and suspense I found it very interesting I absolutely loved how when I was not even half way through the book I already had so many questions. I thought that the author was doing so well keeping me interested at all times. Thinking back there was not a time when I did not have a question but in the end they were all answered and believe I love to have somethin...

Summertime Madness Book Tag.

We honestly can't wait for warm weather, iced cappuccinos, sweet sunshine..... Summer... So, to make the waiting pass by quicker, we decided to do the Summertime Madness Tag! Do you viewers notice a pattern yet (both of our tags have been summer-y)? Don't worry though we plan on doing other themes soon. We are doing it because we cannot wait for Summer and are hoping that by doing this Tag we will make it come sooner (that's not very likely though). Ashvini's perspective of Summer: Photo Source Link Emma's perspective of Summer: Photo Source Link 1. Show (or in our case pick) a book with a summer-y cover. Ashvini: Obviously, since we are not on camera and cannot show a book literally we are just going to have to pick a book. So for that I pick Since You've Been Gone by Morgan Matson, because  Morgan Matson = summer. Emma: Against the Tide which the 5th book of the Spirit Animals series. Do not get any ideas, please, I am begging yo...

The Wishing Spell - Chris Colfer.

Photo Source Link Emma's Rating: 5/5 Ashvini's Rating: 5/5 Emma: Emma's review: This was such a good read. First off the author is an actor...who is good at writing! This book was so suspenseful. I had loaned the book to one of my friends, other than Ashvini, she read it and finished the week she got it despite how thick it was. Then she would beg for the next book. That is how good it was. This is not a spoiler just a description, trust me I would never give you guys a spoiler with out warning (that goes for Ashvini to). Alex and Conner who are twins and their mysterious adventures in a mysterious land that seems to have jumped right out of the fairy tales that they were told when they were little. It is fantastically written and all the characters have such strong personalities that I can imagine them right here in front of me. Another thing that I found cool was that all the fairy tales you thought you knew were all connected and one and other. Th...

The Hidden Agenda of Sigrid Sugden - Jill Maclean.

Photo Source Link Emma's Rating: 4/5 Ashvini's Rating: 5/5 Emma: I thought that The Hidden Agenda of Sigrid Sugden was a very good book. First of all it was from the perspective of a bully who from the very start never wanted to be one. It was quite an interesting read. Now the first thing that I want to talk about (or more realistically write or type about) is the cover. Most people say that the cover looks boring, and yes I did think that too, but have you ever heard the phrase "never judge a book by it's cover?" Normally it means that "it is not what is on the outside that counts but it's what is on the inside". So basically to sum things up, don't ever judge a person, and the same thing goes for books... or anything for example (and this is coming from the environmentalist inside me) we are taking plants for granted! Maybe they can't talk or walk but they are still living things! Animals too if you searched up...
