May Wrap Up

May was a very busy month for me with school starting again, exams and the local drama competitions of which I participated in. With all of these important events keeping me busy, reading and blogging unfortunately had to take the backburner. That having been said, I am still okay about what I read this month given how much time and effort I needed to put into school. Hopefully, I will have a much better month in June. Without further delay, lets get into the books!

- Hollow City by Ransom Riggs
The second book in the Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children trilogy did not fail to delight. This gripping sequel had me on the edge of my seat from the very first page. The events in this novel were both extraordinary and very peculiar. Such a unique book series, I feel, is a must-read in YA genre and I can't wait to read the final instalment next month. Overall Rating: 4/5 stars.

- Glory O'Brien's History of the Future by A.S. King
This character driven, stand alone novel was a unique book within the YA genre that stands out greatly from its peers. Taking none of the conventional routes to a page-turning novel, A.S. King provokes the reader's thoughts in ways other authors would never dare to do. This is a book I would recommend to everyone, reader or not. Overall Rating: 5/5 stars.

- The Walled City by Ryan Graudin
This plot-driven YA novel was based in the Kowloon Walled City, telling the story of three individual main characters. I have previously read and loved Ryan Grading's other Novel Wolf by Wolf and absolutely loved it, hence why I picked up The Walled City. Unfortunately, I did not enjoy The Walled City as much as I enjoyed Wolf by Wolf.
Overall Rating: 2/5 Stars

- Think Twice by Sarah Mlynowski
Think twice was a fun, teen oriented YA sequel. This book was more of a fun read for me and I enjoyed it simply because I found it very entertaining and it was a book that I could read and discuss with my close friends.  Overall rating: 3/5 stars
