The Infinite Sea cover reveal

The Infinite Sea is the sequel to "The 5th Wave" by Rick Yancey, a book I totally loved, but I'm feeling really guilty saying that I can't remember half of the story, I just remember the feelings I had and thus I do not get this cover, though it looks awesome. It's going to be released on 16th September this year, so I'll be re-reading said book around that time.

This book is good enough to be recommended, so read The 5th Wave NOW so that you can join me in the torture of waiting. 

Till it comes out, lets enjoy this vague summary....

The hugely anticipated follow-up to the New York Times bestselling The 5th Wave, hailed by Justin Cronin as “wildly entertaining.”
For Cassie Sullivan and the rest of Earth’s remaining human survivors, the situation was already desperate when the 5th Wave hit. It’s about to get worse.
No one yet knows the depths to which Earth’s conquerors—the Others—will sink in order to rid the Earth of the human infestation, nor have they guessed the heights to which the human spirit can reach. Characters introduced in Book One will come to the fore—and others will face the ultimate test.
Readers will watch in awe as the Others give their answer to Cassie’s defiance.

Paper Towns by John Green

Another awesome book by the KING of AWESOMENESS. (can we even expect anything else from john green?) This book is like a combination of humor, sadness, mystery, self-discovery and what not, and they go very well together.

Quentin Jacobsen has spent a lifetime loving the magnificently adventurous Margo Roth Spiegelman from afar. So when she cracks open a window and climbs back into his life—dressed like a ninja and summoning him for an ingenious campaign of revenge—he follows.

After their all-nighter ends and a new day breaks, Q arrives at school to discover that Margo, always an enigma, has now become a mystery. But Q soon learns that there are clues—and they’re for him. Urged down a disconnected path, the closer he gets, the less Q sees of the girl he thought he knew.

This book was unique (with all those"papertowns"), and very good mixture of depth and humor. I was laughing like hell at some point and the next I was completely immersed into Margo's mystery. The character's are so well made and I couldn't help but like each one of them, especially Radar and his black santas.
This book is divided into three parts, named on a n object that is the most significant in them, and the third part, "the vessel" was sooooo good! Our main characters miss their graduation to go on a road rip to a papertown where they think Margo is, and believe me, even if you didn't like the first two parts, this one will be worth all that reading.But that shouldn't happen, because this book is amazing.
I would give it

The Maze Runner Trailer

So we finally got to see The Maze Runner trailer. As already mentioned in my first post, The Maze Runner series is one of my all time favorites and I don't wan't any movie to spoil it and It's happened before cough*Percy Jackson*cough. But this trailer looks pretty awesome.
Also, Stiles from Teen wolf and Effy from Skins ? That is two EPIC actors in one movie, so the casting is good. Though Newt looks nothing like I Imagined, and he's my favorite character.
and WHY is Gally being nice to Thomas?! I hope that doesn't stick with the whole movie
There are some scenes in the trailer I couldn't remember happening in the book ( the one where the walls are closing and Thomas runs in?), but overall the trailer's quite close to the book. Now I'll continue waiting for the movie to be released....

Jellicoe Road by Melina Marchetta

People, let me introduce you to the most mind-boggling, mysterious, lyrical & intense novel of this year that I was dumb enough to not complete the first time I read it

“Someone asked us later, "Didn't you wonder why no one came across you sooner?"

Did I wonder?When you see your parents zipped up in black body bags on the Jellicoe Road like they're some kind of garbage, don't you know?Wonder dies.” 

At age eleven, Taylor Markham was abandoned by her mother. At fourteen, she ran away from boarding school, only to be tracked down and brought back by a mysterious stranger. Now seventeen, Taylor's the reluctant leader of her school's underground community, whose annual territory war with the Townies and visiting Cadets has just begun. This year, though, the Cadets are led by Jonah Griggs, and Taylor can't avoid his intense gaze for long. To make matters worse, Hannah, the one adult Taylor trusts, has disappeared. But if Taylor can piece together the clues Hannah left behind, the truth she uncovers might not just settle her past, but also change her future.
The starting was so confusing and maybe that's why I quit it last month, I was all like

Thank god I read it again.

This novel deserves the Printz Award.It does. I wish every YA contemporary I read was like Jellicoe Road.
Also, Melina Marchetta's writing is so so BEAUTIFUL. I wish I could quote the whole book.
I'm not ranting any longer about this one because it's a book that can't be put to words and NEEDS to be read. So yeah, read it NOW and just get through the first few pages because it's worth it.
Do I even need to rate this?
I don't

Ignite Me by Tahereh Mafi

This is the final novel in the Shatter Me trilogy, so if you don't wan't to be spoiled, go back.
I had been trying to delay reading this as much as possible because JULIET WAS SO FREAKING IRRITATING in "Unravel Me". Thank god this girl finally picked herself up. If you've been hesitating for the same reasons. Don't.

Juliette was everything I wanted her to be in this book. Straightforward and kick-ass. Kenji was as usual, AWESOME. Adam, I have only three words for you, WHAT THE HECK?!
And then comes Warner.... (SPOILER ALERT)
Juliette and Warner's ship sailed (and my fangirl heart sang),that also in the middle of the book, which was all great.
and this really cracked me up:

“Aaron Warner Anderson, chief commander and regent of Sector 45, son of the supreme commander of The Reestablishment.

He has a soft spot for fashion.” 

Tahereh Mafi had a plan, which is very clear now, she made Juliette so damn irritating and weak and dependent and whiny and all just so that she could shine in this final book.
It worked. This finale did make the whole trilogy better and the characters more likable. (thought seriously, Adam's character took a sharp turn)

I just felt that the book's ending, though good, could have been more complete. I really wanted to know what caused these powers and more of  a focus on the rebellion rather than the romance.
nonetheless, this gets

Panic by Lauren Oliver

Lauren Oliver's 'Delirium' Trilogy is one of my favorites and my expectations for Panic were definitely high, and this EXCEEDED those.

"Panic began as so many things do in Carp, a dead-end town of 12,000 people in the middle of nowhere: because it was summer, and there was nothing else to do.
Heather never thought she would compete in Panic, a legendary game played by graduating seniors, where the stakes are high and the payoff is even higher. She’d never thought of herself as fearless, the kind of person who would fight to stand out. But when she finds something, and someone, to fight for, she will discover that she is braver than she ever thought.
Dodge has never been afraid of Panic. His secret will fuel him, and get him all the way through the game, he’s sure of it. But what he doesn't know is that he’s not the only one with a secret. Everyone has something to play for.
For Heather and Dodge, the game will bring new alliances, unexpected revelations, and the possibility of first love for each of them—and the knowledge that sometimes the very things we fear are those we need the most."

After reading that blurb, I had assumed Panic was a Hunger Games rip-off dystopian novel. Believe me it's actually quite far away from that genre.It's a ya-contemporary/ Thriller / Mystery,in other words AWESOME.
It has dual POV's of the characters Heather and Dodge, and Lauren Oliver has written them perfectly.
Each and every character is sooo believable.
Panic is NOT the hunger games, seniors play this illegally, mainly because they're bored and definitely because of the money.
 Heather and Dodge both have very different reasons and that's what makes their POV's great. Panic was everything I expected it to be (after I found out it was not dystopian) and more.
No doubt, Panic gets

GO. READ. THIS. NOW.

A Curse Dark As Gold by Elizabeth C. Bunce

This book has been lying on my bookshelf for about 5 years, WHY DID I NOT READ IT EARLIER ??? I mean, look at it!, shouldn't the cover be enough to draw a reader? (I believe in judging a book by it's cover)
The story is basically a retelling of "Rumpelstiltskin". The setting is in the 18th century, in the fictional village of Shearing, just on the verge of the Industrial Revolution.
After the death of her father, Charlotte Miller along with her little sister, Rosie, takes to run the family mill, Stirwaters, but a series of debts and other problems force them to contact Jack Spinner, a mysterious man who can spin gold, with just a little price, but  soon Charlotte is stuck in a bargain she cannot fullfill.
This was a really great read, and the first time I've read a retelling.
I LOVED Charlotte, she is so damn headstrong, independent, and determined in such a time period, it's inspiring. The whole village setup was so realistic, It doesn't feel like "there are just five people in this place" which is the case with most of the fictional places. The book started out slow, but the suspense slowly builds up and the little bits of background stories all join together to form a perfect ending.
This is the perfect blend of reality and fantasy. If re tellings and historical fantasy is your thing, read this book right now!!
I give this book
