Review: EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING by Nicola Yoon
Title: Everything, Everything Author: Nicola Yoon Page count: 310 Date published: 1 September 2015 Genre: Contemporary romance Rating Synopsis: My disease is as rare as it is famous. Basically, I’m allergic to the world. I don’t leave my house, have not left my house in seventeen years. The only people I ever see are my mom and my nurse, Carla. But then one day, a moving truck arrives next door. I look out my window, and I see him. He’s tall, lean and wearing all black—black T-shirt, black jeans, black sneakers, and a black knit cap that covers his hair completely. He catches me looking and stares at me. I stare right back. His name is Olly. Maybe we can’t predict the future, but we can predict some things. For example, I am certainly going to fall in love with Olly. It’s almost certainly going to be a disaster. (SPOLIERS AHEAD) MY THOUGHTS I completely love this book. The writing flows perfectly. The romance is very cute and normal considering the circumstances. The conversations between Maddy and Olly are so funny, especially the IMs and emails. The setting is peaceful and both the main charcters have to go through their own mess…

Review: PRETTY LITTLE LIARS Season 7 Episode 14
Episode Name: Power Play Director: Roger Kumble Writer: Liljah J. Barasz Producer: I. Marlene King Running time: 42 min Release Date: 09/05/2017 Genre: Mystery, Drama & Crime Rating Synopsis: Ali’s turn at the game forces her to face a monumental personal decision, made even more difficult when A.D. triggers Ali to remember a forgotten trauma. Spencer has a long overdue conversation with her father about his past sins and recent whereabouts. Emily continues to navigate working at Rosewood High with both Ali and Paige, especially when Ali comes to a troubling realization about her pregnancy, and Paige makes a big decision. Aria continues to question the fate of her relationship with Ezra and bristles under A.D.’s taunts. And, in the search for Mary Drake, Hanna and Spencer run into a familiar face with a shocking secret. (SPOILERS AHEAD) MY THOUGHTS I gave this episode 3 stars mainly because it had less action than the previous episode, although I still liked watching it because of the information and the answers we got. I wasn’t as shocked as I thought I’d be, because this is PLL, and the answers were given away quite easily, not as I expected they would have been…

Review: ONYX by JENNIFER L. ARMENTROUT
Title: Onyx Author: Jennifer L. Armentrout Page Count: 336 Date Published: 14th August 2012 Genres: Fantasy, Romance, Sci-Fi Rating: Synopsis: Being connected to Daemon Black sucks… Thanks to his alien mojo, Daemon’s determined to prove what he feels for me is more than a product of our bizarro connection. So I’ve sworn him off, even though he’s running more hot than cold these days. But we’ve got bigger problems. Something worse than the Arum has come to town… The Department of Defense are here. If they ever find out what Daemon can do and that we’re linked, I’m a goner. So is he. And there’s this new boy in school who’s got a secret of his own. He knows what’s happened to me and he can help, but to do so, I have to lie to Daemon and stay away from him. Like that’s possible. Against all common sense, I’m falling for Daemon. Hard. But then everything changes… I’ve seen someone who shouldn’t be alive. And I have to tell Daemon, even though I know he’s never going to stop searching until he gets the truth. What happened to his brother? Who betrayed him? And what does the DOD want…

Review: PRETTY LITTLE LIARS Season 7 Episode 13
Episode Name: Hold Your Piece Director: Marta Cunningham Writer: Bryan M. Holdman Producer: I. Marlene King Running time: 42 min Release Date: 02/05/2017 Genre: Mystery, Drama & Crime Rating Synopsis: Hanna is sure Jenna is to blame for a recent professional setback and is forced to bring Caleb up to speed on current events. Aria and Emily team up to investigate Sydney for more information about Jenna and her connection to A.D. Spencer grows closer to Detective Furey, while Aria struggles with her current situation with Ezra. Hanna’s turn at the game is more intense than she bargained for and leads to shocking consequences. MY THOUGHTS This episode was quite enjoyable. We’re inching, slowly but surely, to the BIG reveal in the series finale, which is under 2 months away. Can you believe it? I can’t. We learn that Sydney really has been helping Jenna and the Liars suspect she might’ve shot Spencer. This is possible, but when have things ever been this straight-forward on PLL? Yvonne also wakes up, and she and Toby have the smallest yet very cute hospital wedding. Unfortunately, she doesn’t stay long, because she unexpectedly dies. I’m a big Spoby shipper, but I can’t decide…

What's Up, Wednesday!
I’ve been trying to finish Onyx by Jennifer L. Armentrout, and I almost have. I’m reading it on my kindle, and I’m about 90% finished. It’s gotten really interesting and have a date with it tonight. On Friday, I plan to watch the movie called A Dog’s Purpose. The trailer sounds like it’s going to be a very loveable movie. I also NEED to see Passengers, which is still sitting on my watch-list *ugh* for a few months now. And the TV has been hectic. At the moment I’m watching Riverdale, Pretty Little Liars and Gossip Girl. The final ten episodes of PLL are happening RIGHT NOW and I’m dying to know what Marlene is teasing us about. And tomorrow we find out who killed Jason in Riverdale (finally). I haven’t been able to do much this week because my school-schedule has been packed. Hopefully it clears, so that next week I can tell you more. But for now…..
