Review: Morning Star  by Pierce Brown Format (That I Read It): Book Summary: Darrow would have lived in peace, but his enemies brought him war. The Gold overlords demanded his obedience, hanged his wife, and enslaved his people. But Darrow is determined to fight back. Risking everything to transform himself and breach Gold society, Darrow has battled to survive the cutthroat rivalries that breed Society’s mightiest warriors, climbed the ranks, and waited patiently to unleash the revolution that will tear the hierarchy apart from within. Finally, the time has come. But devotion to honor and hunger for vengeance run deep on both sides. Darrow and his comrades-in-arms face powerful enemies without scruple or mercy. Among them are some Darrow once considered friends. To win, Darrow will need to inspire those shackled in darkness to break their chains, unmake the world their cruel masters have built, and claim a destiny too long denied—and too glorious to surrender.

Pokemon GO Book Tag!  ( Source ) IT'S EVERYWHERE!! Pokemon GO is a HUGE phenomenon. It has taken over people's lives and caused people do act very stupid. I really love Pokemon GO. I am a 90's kid so I did grow up with all the different generations of Pokemon and it's crazy to see how far the game has come! And I can't wait to see how far it goes. I've already talked a lot about my journey into reading, I even made an enter discussion on it so I am going to say something different. Now, this may not have started my love for reading but I remember loving this series when I was a kid. That series is the Judy Moody series by Megan McDonald.  The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum. It's such a classic and it's one of my favorite movies of all time! I love the story even though surprisingly I haven't finished reading them all. By the way, Pikachu is the best. I loved the friendship between Ash and Pikachu. It's a lot like Dorothy and Toto

Review: The Butterfly Garden  by Dot Hutchison Format (That I Read It): Ebook, Netgalley ARC (Advance Reader Copy) Summary: Near an isolated mansion lies a beautiful garden. In this garden grow luscious flowers, shady trees…and a collection of precious “butterflies”—young women who have been kidnapped and intricately tattooed to resemble their namesakes. Overseeing it all is the Gardener, a brutal, twisted man obsessed with capturing and preserving his lovely specimens. When the garden is discovered, a survivor is brought in for questioning. FBI agents Victor Hanoverian and Brandon Eddison are tasked with piecing together one of the most stomach-churning cases of their careers. But the girl, known only as Maya, proves to be a puzzle herself. As her story twists and turns, slowly shedding light on life in the Butterfly Garden, Maya reveals old grudges, new saviors, and horrific tales of a man who’d go to any length to hold beauty captive. But the more she shares,
