Welcome!

 Hey everyone! My name is Sophia. I love books and everything bookish, along with traveling (and different histories, cultures, and languages), and (of course) Disney. 

I’m going to do my best to keep this blog updated weekly (at least).

Cress Book Review

Image
I just finished the audiobook for Cress by Marissa Meyer. It’s the third book in the Lunar Chronicles.  Each book adds a new character to the mix, intertwining them into the story. The character, Cress, is loosely based off of Rapunzel. The first two books, Cinder and Scarlet, are based off of Cinderella and Little Red Riding Hood, respectively.  With each book, this series gets better and better! It’s amazing how Marissa Meyer can create such an elaborate world where each new character fits in so perfectly.  These are such new versions of these stories everyone knows. If you love fairytale retellings, you will love this. Even if you don’t, it’s not an in-your-face kind of retelling. It’s an “oh, look at those similarities” kind of retelling.  Also: As I said, I listened to the audiobook, which is amazing for this book!! Rating: 5 stars                                      ...

Prepped Book Review

Prepped by Bethany Mangle Book Review     I don’t read many contemporary books. I read a lot of fantasy. So this book was a little out of my comfort zone. It sounded kind of interesting, but I didn’t know if it would keep my attention or not. I did get a free ebook of this in exchange for an honest review, so I thought I would give this book a fair chance.    It’s about a girl whose family are doomsday preppers, along with their whole neighborhood. Everything they do revolves around preparing for the end of the world and Becca is tired of it. And when I say they prepare for the end of the world, I mean they PREPARE. They go WAY overboard.        I don’t know about you, but I’ve definitely had times where I want a bunker with everything I’ll need just in case the world ends. (Especially since last year) But damn. The neighborhood in the book goes so far beyond that. If you are in any way curious about what that might look like, then you’ll be ...

The Acceptance Book Review

  I recently read The Acceptance by Ramona Finn. I received a free ebook through NetGalley for my opinion (and I was supposed to read this forever ago. Oops.)  Better late than never 😬  The Acceptance is the first book in the GEOs series. The story is set in a future where Earth had been destroyed by a virus. (So, it’s already a perfect read for 2020.)  Because of the virus, some people moved underground to avoid it. The protagonist, Tylia, has lived below ground her whole life. Scientists search for a cure and some people are chosen every so often to help (if they can pass the deadly test.)  Tylia’s mother is sick, dying and doesn’t have much time left. Her best option is to hack into The Acceptance and make it out alive so her mother can get the care she needs.  This book is PERFECT for 2020. It’s a mix of 2020 and The Hunger Games.  I really liked this book. I’m a sucker for dystopian books and this was an interesting twist on a Hunger Games type o...
