Book Review : A Court Of Thorns And Roses

NO SPOILERS.
I have fINALLY gotten around to reading this amazing book. I went in with high hopes after watching YouTube reviews by lovely booktubers such as Sasha Alsberg (abookutopia), and I can honestly say that I was definitely not disappointed.
Before going any further, I'd just like to add that the cover is so beautiful in real life. There's a lovely silver shine to the vines that is barely visible in the picture. I love it.

A court of thorns and roses (ACOTAR) is the first book in a trilogy, and it's about a huntress named Feyre who kills a wolf while on her daily hunt to find food for her family. Except it wasn't really a wolf. It was a faerie, from the land of Prythian, where all faeries lived. As her punishment for killing a faerie, Feyre is taken to an enchanted court where she is to live the rest of her life. 
At first, she tries to escape and go back to her family, but then she starts to catch feelings for her captor, Tamlin.
ACOTAR is a very, very loose retelling of the Beauty And The Beast. While I love Beauty and the Beast, it's important to know that ACOTAR is nothing like it. There's much more action, much more blood, much more excitement. I absolutely loved this book. 
Let's talk about the characters. First of all, Feyre is such a lovable, strong female. She is taken away from her family and thrown into this completely different life, and the way she handles it all is so commendable. I absolutely love and admire her. If I knew how to express my love of her more without spoiling the entire book, I would.
Tamlin, the hot and mysterious brooding captor. GOD. I love him so much. He is just so droolworthy. Most of the adorable moments between him and Feyrah are made so adorable because of him. I finally understand why Sasha calls him one of her fictional boyfriends, because s a m e.
Lucien, my baby. Rhysand, my reluctant hero. Alis, my mother hen. 
I love love love this book. Highly recommend everyone to read this, immediately. 
Five out of five, for sure.

6 Study Help Websites

Now, I know this isn't a blog about studying, its about books and writing, but I believe studying is somewhat involved in both those things. This may be the most serious post I've ever made on this blog, but please bear with me.  My exams are coming up, so I decided to share my top 6 study websites that I use.  Keep in mind, I am a GCE O'Level student, so these may be more useful for O'level students, but I think everyone can use these nevertheless.  1.  GCE Study Buddy This website is probably the most useful one for me. It provides study notes, summarized and made into easy-to-understand formats, with mindmaps, and questions. It may not look the best, and maybe my summary may not sound too interesting, but it has helped me and lots of my friends a lot. There is an incredibly wide range of subjects, and I always find what I'm looking for, no matter how specific. 2.  My Study Life This is a website I'm sure many of you can use. It's like a paper pl

Favorite Books Of 2016!

Image
Yay, here's the happier version of my last post! 2016 surely had many, many downs, but one positive part was the amount of good books I read this year. Here goes, in no order whatsoever :  1. Gone Girl, Gillian Flynn This book.  It is so, so, so good.  This is my very first Gillian Flynn book, and I absolutely loved it. People tell me her other two books are better than this, so I can't wait to get my hands on them either.

Favorite Wattpad Books

While physical books that I can touch and cry tears on are the most perfect things to touch Earth's surface, Wattpad is definitely the best form of e-book. I've currently got 85 books in my private library, and 3 published books myself. I won't deny that half of the books on Wattpad are, no offence, absolute rubbish (my books included), but I have dug out a few that have absolutely blown my mind.  So, ignoring the cliche' grammar-mistake-filled Wattpad gems, let's get straight into the good stuff. 5.  High School Hit List This is a teen fiction (there's gonna be lots of these) book written by the lovely  autheras , and it is about exactly what the title says.  It follows Chloe Whittaker's journey, taking revenge on the 'it' club of her high school for what they did to her best friend. The plot twist drove me mad. It was somehow there in the back of my head, and I did know it all along, but when it actually happened, I was shocked. Rea
