Mosquitoland by David Arnold

I am a collection of oddities, a circus of neurons and electrons: my heart is the ringmaster, my soul is the trapeze artist, and the world is my audience. It sounds strange because it is, and it is, because I am strange. In this awesome book, our heroine, Mary Iris Malone, (who is not okay) discovers that her mum is ill. So of course, she goes to Cleveland to find her. Along the way she meets Arlene, a Grande Dame from the Old School if ever there was one and her suspicions about Carls are confirmed. She is faced with the great evils of Poncho Man and Shadow Kid, and meets Walter, King of shiny, Rubix Cube, Cubs and Mountain Dew, and Beckett Van Buren, a devastatingly handsome Knight in Navy Nylon. My favourite character was Mim, but I fell in love with all the characters, and with every word... This book is funny, loving and cool. I'd recommend it to anyone who likes good books.

The Raven Boys

If you kiss your true love, he will die Sorry it's taken me so long to write. I've been busy taking part in NaNoWriMo young writers program, https://ywp.nanowrimo.org/  .I finished The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater on Friday, though. I thought it was just one novel, and in my copy there was no hint of another, but I am pleased to find out there are more novels! The second is called The Dream Thieves. Here is the link to the official website;  http://www.maggiestiefvater.com/the-raven-boys/#books and the Fandom;  http://theravenboys.wikia.com/wiki/The_Raven_Boys I haven't left links to fandom's in previous blogs, but just type in the book title and then the word Fandom. Click on the website title that looks a bit like this; The Raven Boys/The Raven Boys Wiki/ FANDOM powered by Wikia or comment and ask for the link to the fandom! Blue Sargent has always been told that if she kisses her true love, he will die, but Blue isn't interested in love anyway.

Crown of Midnight by Sarah J Maas

This is the second Throne of Glass novel. I can't tell you about the story, because it might give away things about the first book. My favourite character is Chaol, whom I have fallen in love with. He is just amazing in every way, just like Celaena says.  I just love this series so much! These quotes are from both books. Thank you for reading my blogs. Please comment. If you are like me you need to lose yourself in books and when you are without them you feel lost. This blog isn't very good but I want to share the books I love with people who need them.
