Ever had that moment when you are listening to a song and it reminds of your favorite book? I have had plenty of those so I wanted to make a monthly meme/tag thingy on my blog. This is not an official tag so you don’t really have to do it (although there is a Playlist Book Tag and I think another similar one that Bea from When Curiosity Killed The Cat told me about…I can’t remember the exact name unfortunately) but I would love it if you guys do this too!

tanazmasaba

August was one exciting month for me, because it was my first month on WordPress and my first month of blogging. This 31 days experienc has been amazing, and I want to thank all the amazing people who were with me on this journey. You guys are awesome!

Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to read as many books as I wanted to this month (do any of us ever get to do that?) but I did read some pretty cool books. Here are the books I have read this month:

Review: The One (The Selection#3) by Kiera Cass

Ratings: ★★★★☆

18635016This book started off terribly but got progressively better in the middle, and then went spiraling downhill again in the end. In fact, up until reading the very last chapters, I was ready to give this book four stars–it was even better than The Elite–and I hadn’t been expecting that–but then Kiera Cass had to ruin it with a loosely tied plot.

The Writing: The writing was just as good as the other two books, except that in The One, it was a lot less predictable and a lot more entertaining than in The Elite and in The Selection. Once again, Kiera Cass had me Continue reading “Review: The One (The Selection#3) by Kiera Cass” →

And yet, by the time I was done, I realized it had failed to deliver.
