READING PLANS FOR SUMMER HOLIDAY

Hey everyone, in these days I just wanted to read as much as possible because the next year will be going to no read or so little reading time for me because I have a university exam in 2016. But I just wanted to read before the September and by the way I am going to study in holiday. I am planning to read 12 books at least. I made a list but that can be changed. And arrangement can be changed too.

1- Throne of Glass Series

I have been waiting for a long time to start this amazing series! Nearly all readers said this serie is amazing and gradually it keeps better and better! I am currently reading Throne of Glass and fortunately, I have got the second one too. I heard the second book's ending is bad so I have to buy Heir of Fire before I started to read Crown of Midnight. I will write a review about the first book soon.

2- The Winner's Crime by Marie Rutkoski

The Winner's Curse was one of my favorite book I read in 2014. I have been waiting for a long time to read this book. I bought this book in April but haven't got a chance to start. But now in summer holiday, I want to read this book so much.

The first book ends with a massive cliffhanger and I believe the writer did the best for second book's ending too. The third and the last book will be out in March 2016. I know, it's so far away, It's torture for me because I hate waiting books to publish. I just want to get them now!!!

3- In Death Series - J.D. Robb

In Death serie has 41 books for now and 42th one will publish in 2016. Yes, you heard right. I think that's a lot to finish but for now I just want to meet with the characters and for my reading plans for summer, I only read first book and maybe the second book too.

I generally don't read mystery/ crime books because I am more interested in romance and fantasy books. But I heard so much good reviews about this series and I can't wait to read this book!

By the way, this book will be my first read by Nora Roberts and I know that I am going to buy her romance books too!!

4- Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard

I 'm obsessed with high fantasy books as you can see whic books I want to read. Like this one. I heard so much good reviews and bad reviews about this book but I think and hope that I will like Red Queen because while I saw the cover and the plot, this makes me so happy and curious to read it. The plot is;

The poverty stricken Reds are commoners, living under the rule of the Silvers, elite warriors with god-like powers.
To Mare Barrow, a 17-year-old Red girl from The Stilts, it looks like nothing will ever change.
Mare finds herself working in the Silver Palace, at the centre ofthose she hates the most. She quickly discovers that, despite her red blood, she possesses a deadly power of her own. One that threatens to destroy Silver control.
But power is a dangerous game. And in this world divided by blood, who will win?

5- Zincirlenmiş Kalpler - Büşra Toraman

 Yes, this book is from Turkish writer and this book will be her first published book. I knew her before this book comes out because she published so much good stories in both Wattpad and Facebook. I love her writing style and can't wait to read this book.

This book is about amazons and other supernatural creatures. I don't know anything about this topic and this makes me more curious.

And I love the cover. I think the girl on the cover is Aleka. She is an amazon too and she is totally kick-ass. I already started to read this book and it is going sooo well!! When I finished, I am going to publish a review :))

6- Eleanor&Park by Rainbow Rowell

I love Rainbow Rowell!! I read Fangirl last year and I loved it!!! I planned to read Eleanor&Park in holiday- in Bodrum-. Because this book is tiny and looks like a quick-read for me.
The plot;

Two misfits.One extraordinary love.
Eleanor... Red hair, wrong clothes. Standing behind him until he turns his head. Lying beside him until he wakes up. Making everyone else seem drabber and flatter and never good enough...Eleanor.
Park... He knows she'll love a song before he plays it for her. He laughs at her jokes before she ever gets to the punch line. There's a place on his chest, just below his throat, that makes her want to keep promises...Park.
Set over the course of one school year, this is the story of two star-crossed sixteen-year-olds—smart enough to know that first love almost never lasts, but brave and desperate enough to try.

7- Sweet Evil by Wendy Higgins

I just want to meet with KAIDAN ROWE! THAT'S IT!!!
The Plot:

Embrace the Forbidden
What if there were teens whose lives literally depended on being bad influences?
This is the reality for sons and daughters of fallen angels.Tenderhearted Southern girl Anna Whitt was born with the sixth sense to see and feel emotions of other people. She's aware of a struggle within herself, an inexplicable pull toward danger, but it isn't until she turns sixteen and meets the alluring Kaidan Rowe that she discovers her terrifying heritage and her willpower is put to the test. He's the boy your daddy warned you about. If only someone had warned Anna.
Forced to face her destiny, will Anna embrace her halo or her horns?

8-  Days of Blood & Starlight by Laini Taylor

The first one was amazing and can't wait to see how it continues because the first one ends with cliffhanger!!

Once upon a time, an angel and a devil fell in love and dared to imagine a world free of bloodshed and war.

This is not that world.
Art student and monster's apprentice Karou finally has the answers she has always sought. She knows who she is—and what she is. But with this knowledge comes another truth she would give anything to undo: She loved the enemy and he betrayed her, and a world suffered for it.
In this stunning sequel to the highly acclaimed Daughter of Smoke & Bone, Karou must decide how far she'll go to avenge her people. Filled with heartbreak and beauty, secrets and impossible choices, Days of Blood & Starlight finds Karou and Akiva on opposing sides as an age-old war stirs back to life.
While Karou and her allies build a monstrous army in a land of dust and starlight, Akiva wages a different sort of battle: a battle for redemption. Forhope.
But can any hope be salvaged from the ashes of their broken dream?

9-  Unravel by Calia Read

It's a standalone new adult romance book I picked this up for summer reading because when I looked at my list I realized there's been no NA books only YA. So that, I decided to read Unravel!! (By the way, cover is so stunningly gorgeous!!)

Six months ago, I was happy. I was simply Naomi Carradine. 
One month ago, I was admitted into a psych ward. 
Yesterday, Lachlan visited me. Kissed me. And told me that I’m starting to lose my mind. 
Hours later, Max haunted my thoughts, reminding me I’m not crazy and that he needs my help. 
A few minutes ago, I drifted further from reality, trying to unravel the past.
And now...everyone thinks I’m insane. But, I know he's real, and I know he needs me. 
Do you believe me?

10- Altered by Jennifer Rush

 I only read the plot and it impresses me so much!! Hope to read this book soon!!

When you can’t trust yourself, who can you believe?
Everything about Anna’s life is a secret. Her father works for the Branch at the helm of its latest project: monitoring and administering treatments to the four genetically altered boys in the lab below their farmhouse. There’s Nick, Cas, Trev . . . and Sam, who has stolen Anna’s heart. When the Branch decides it’s time to take the boys, Sam stages an escape, killing the agents sent to retrieve them. 
Anna is torn between following Sam or staying behind in the safety of her everyday life. But her father pushes her to flee, making Sam promise to keep her away from the Branch, at all costs. There’s just one problem. Sam and the boys don’t remember anything before living in the lab—not even their true identities.
Now on the run, Anna soon discovers that she and Sam are connected in more ways than either of them expected. And if they’re both going to survive, they must piece together the clues of their past before the Branch catches up to them and steals it all away.

11- Fever Series by Karen Marie Moning

 I read first and second books and now time to continue the series!! I have Faefever but don't have the rest of them. I definitely have to finish this series because it is so addictive and sexy!!




My list can be changed and if I changed some books, I will publish to reading list at the top of the page. You can click there to see the books to be waiting to read and reviewed.

Book Reviw: CRESS by Marissa Meyer

 In this third book in the Lunar Chronicles, Cinder and Captain Thorne are fugitives on the run, now with Scarlet and Wolf in tow. Together, they’re plotting to overthrow Queen Levana and her army.

Their best hope lies with Cress, a girl imprisoned on a satellite since childhood who's only ever had her netscreens as company. All that screen time has made Cress an excellent hacker. Unfortunately, she’s just received orders from Levana to track down Cinder and her handsome accomplice.

When a daring rescue of Cress goes awry, the group is separated. Cress finally has her freedom, but it comes at a high price. Meanwhile, Queen Levana will let nothing prevent her marriage to Emperor Kai. Cress, Scarlet, and Cinder may not have signed up to save the world, but they may be the only hope the world has.

Hey, everyone! I am here to review an amazing and absolutely fantastic book for me: Cress by Marissa Meyer.
You can read my Scarlet review here.

Actually, when I read the first book, I didn't expect to Lunar Chronicles series is going to impress me too much. But at the end of the Scarlet, I realized that I really want to read this series more and more. All of the characters are amazing except Levana of course :)

The Lunar Chronicles series has the most amazing worldbuilding for me and at the end of the Cress, I think Marissa Meyer increased in a high level and in each book we can see the improvement gradually.


As like the previous books, the author makes the similarities with fairytales and in this book Cress is one of the main character and she is Rapunzel.

I really love her because she is so sweet and she has a deep love for Captain Thorne-like me- and I just felt sorry for her when she explained her feelings about being trapped in a satellite for seven years. She is so fragile and she just wants to see the World and be with Thorne.-every girl want that though-

I can hear your cryings about what it is happening between the other ships? Cinder/Kai? Scarlet/Wolf? I am going to explain everything and I will warn you may see spoilers ahead.

Cress/Thorne:

Is it the obvious thing these two characters are the best for me? Yeah, I love Thorne no I think it's more than that. I need him like Cress needs him. PLEASE. GIVE. ME. THORNE. PLEASE...

Anyway, Cress and Thorne is amazing together and if Thorne couldn't be mine he can't be with someone else except with Cress.

He is so sweet, He is just perfect match for Cress. I loved him in Scarlet too, but in this book, I can sense his emotions for Cress.

I think it's not open relationship like Scarlet and Wolf but you can sense the attraction between them. Especially I can feel Thorne's emotions when Cress kidnapped. I can't describe at all and can't say this feeling is definitely love but it's kind and similar of that. He cares about her and openly he has feelings for her. In my opinion, the first reason why their relationship is taking slowly is about his temporary blindness. And the second of it is Cress had known him as a hero and when he explains the reasons she got disappointed. No, she is not disappointed. Even she loved him more. But for Thorne, I think he may realized in that way but I hoped we can see their 'REAL relationship' I know because Marissa is an awesome writer.

Scarlet/Wolf: 
These two are my favorite ships in Scarlet but unfortunately, we can't see them together so much in Cress because of circumstances.

Cinder/Kai:
Finally we can see them together!! And reunited! They are so adorable at the end of the Cress.

NOTEABLE SCENES:

“Captain?""Yeah?""Do you think it was destiny that brought us together?"He squinted and, after a thoughtful moment, shook his head. "No. I'm pretty sure it was Cinder.” 

 “I promise, I will not let you die without being kissed.” 

 “Captain,” she murmured.“I think I’m in love with you.”An eyebrow shot up. She counted six beats of his heart before, suddenly, he laughed.“Don’t tell me it took you two whole days to realize that. I must be losing my touch.”

“Knees suddenly weak, she reached for his forearms to stabilize herself. “You came for me.”
He beamed, looking for all the world like a selfless, daring hero.
“Don’t sound so surprised.” Dropping the cane, he pulled her into a crushing embrace that tore her away from Wolf and lifted her clean off the floor. “It turns out you are worth a lot of money on the black market.” 

If you love dystopian, young adult, space books with great sense of humor and with nonstop action, you definitely have to read this series. I really loved it and can't wait for the last book of the series: Winter.

I don't want to say good-bye to all of the characters even Levana and I really enjoyed every page of it. I hope and believe Marissa Meyer end this series with epic, romantic, dramaric, enjoying conclusion. I love her writing style because of this. You can feel the characters' feelings and want to be the part of the crew. And I feel like when I'm reading I'm the part of the crew. It's all amazing. Just. Read. It.




MY EMOTIONS GITH GIFS:

Book Review: ALIENATED by Melissa Landers

Two years ago, the aliens made contact. Now Cara Sweeney is going to be sharing a bathroom with one of them. 
Handpicked to host the first-ever L’eihr exchange student, Cara thinks her future is set. Not only does she get a free ride to her dream college, she’ll have inside information about the mysterious L’eihrs that every journalist would kill for. Cara’s blog following is about to skyrocket.
Still, Cara isn’t sure what to think when she meets Aelyx. Humans and L’eihrs have nearly identical DNA, but cold, infuriatingly brilliant Aelyx couldn’t seem more alien. She’s certain about one thing, though: no human boy is this good-looking.
But when Cara's classmates get swept up by anti-L'eihr paranoia, Midtown High School suddenly isn't safe anymore. Threatening notes appear in Cara's locker, and a police officer has to escort her and Aelyx to class. 
Cara finds support in the last person she expected. She realizes that Aelyx isn’t just her only friend; she's fallen hard for him. But Aelyx has been hiding the truth about the purpose of his exchange, and its potentially deadly consequences. Soon Cara will be in for the fight of her life—not just for herself and the boy she loves, but for the future of her planet.

 This book is the debut novel by Mellissa Landers despite her novel became so popular for Daemon-lovers. I always want to pick this up and finally I have it and I read it. Not as beautiful as the Lux series but I don't want to compare these two series either. Because this book is more different from the Lux series. Our strange aliens are more peaceful than the humans. Or they pretend like that.

Anyway, our characters are verry funny and also smart. Because we get used to see stupid behaviors from the young-adult characters. And that's the biggest problem in YA.

But Alienated is more different from the other books about that plot, characters and plot twist.

“Friendship is one mind in two bodies."
Right. Until your BFF went out of her mind and after your ex-boyfriend's body.”

 “It's common knowledge that shiny rocks are preferred among human females.” 

Cara and Aelyx became one of my favorite OTP. Aelyx is so gentleman to Cara and so different to her. And their first meeting is so funny and also humiliating for Cara! Anyway, this book is full of fun, action and irresistable romance. 

Also we have enemies for Aelyx's staying in the world. These people are exclude both Cara and Aelyx. Except these enemies, Aelyx has girl-fans too. But unfortunately less than enemies.

“I don't like the way he looks at you.""How does he look at me?""Like he wants to dock his ship inside your spaceport.""You've cracked.” 

 This is the second book's cover and as pretty as the first one, right? I can't wait to read that one too because the book ends with a cliffhanger and I guess in the second book, we can see love-triangle. Anyway, I really loved this book; this is a science-fiction different book and if you love the Lux series, you will love Alienated too. Melissa Landers became one of my favorite authors so far!
