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: Throne of Glass  by Sarah J. Maas Format (That I Read It): Book/Audiobook Summary: In a land without magic, where the king rules with an iron hand, an assassin is summoned to the castle. She comes not to kill the king, but to win her freedom. If she defeats twenty-three killers, thieves, and warriors in a competition, she is released from prison to serve as the king's champion. Her name is Celaena Sardothien. The Crown Prince will provoke her. The Captain of the Guard will protect her. But something evil dwells in the castle of glass--and it's there to kill. When her competitors start dying one by one, Celaena's fight for freedom becomes a fight for survival, and a desperate quest to root out the evil before it destroys her world. Initial Thoughts: Everybody and their cousins are reading or have read this series. I bought it quite a while ago and finally decided to pick it up. I just needed something kickass after my Lady Mi...

Review: Illuminae by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff Format (That I Read It): Book/Audiobook Summary: This morning, Kady thought breaking up with Ezra was the hardest thing she’d have to do. This afternoon, her planet was invaded. The year is 2575, and two rival megacorporations are at war over a planet that’s little more than an ice-covered speck at the edge of the universe. Too bad nobody thought to warn the people living on it. With enemy fire raining down on them, Kady and Ezra—who are barely even talking to each other—are forced to fight their way onto an evacuating fleet, with an enemy warship in hot pursuit. But their problems are just getting started. A deadly plague has broken out and is mutating, with terrifying results; the fleet's AI, which should be protecting them, may actually be their enemy; and nobody in charge will say what’s really going on. As Kady hacks into a tangled web of data to find the truth, it's clear only one person...
