Who is an author you have a one-sided beef with and why?
“But a man is not forgotten, as long as there are two people left under the sky. One, to tell the story; the other, to hear it.”

What do you want to be for Halloween?
A princess? A witch/wizard? An angel/ devil? A monster? A pirate? A superhero?
Happy international women’s day!
Here are some amazing books with strong female leads written by female authors to celebrate.

The Heir
By:Kiera Cass
The selection trilogy is one of my absolute favourite series. Its romantic scenes are beautifully written but the story also has exciting aspects of rebelling castes, family values, and what makes a good leader.
Because I loved the selection trilogy so much of course I wanted more but I was a little hesitant to read the next 2 books following America’s daughter. My first impression of Eadlyn was she was a bit of a Brat. However Cass developed her beautifully into an admirable and strong woman trying to make her own way in the world.
I absolutely fell in love with Eadlyn’s story just as much as I loved America’s, and I would highly recommend the whole series to anyone.

The Selection by Kiera Cass
1/5 Stars
So I attempted to read Kiera Cass’s The Selection… that didn’t work out so well. The concept seemed okay, even if it was pretty far fetched. The gist is that in the future the monarchy uses it’s version of The Bachelor to determine the next royal princess. Can I just say this is a horrible idea for a governmental structure? Like why would you use a lottery to give someone power and sovereignty? Doesn’t make sense to me at all.
However powering past the idiocy of this so called monarchy, there were other things that made me put the book down. What really bothered me was the characters reason for entering the lottery. The main character starts out dead set on not entering because she’s in love with someone else. This is a perfectly acceptable reason to not want to compete, though it would’ve been nice had Cass gave her a little more reason beyond a boy. That aside America (who names their main character America? Really?) decides to enter because her boyfriend, who supposedly loves her, emotionally manipulates her into entering. “Oh, I would feel guilty if you didn’t enter." I’m sorry but I would be pretty pissed if my boyfriend told me to enter a contest to marry another man.
For those reasons I stopped reading The Selection. Perhaps it got better as the book progressed, but I was too annoyed by the first 50 pages to even bother continuing.
The greatest love story ever!
Break my heart. Break it a thousand times if you like. It was only ever yours to break anyway.

Every instance of the Red-Green-Blue cover combo that I see on my shelf.
Not sure if Divergent counts, since it’s kind of orange.
Also: The Selection and Daughter of Smoke and Bones series have two of the three, but it’s unknown if they’ll pull through with the final green.
Thoughts? Any other Blue/Red/Green series?

The whole world: So… how long have the two of you been together?
Maxon and America *with a burning passion*: WE’RE NOT TOGETHER!!!
Also Maxon and America *in perfect sync*: Don’t you want to be with me? I thought you loved me!
ALSO Maxon and America: But you said we aren’t together!
America, trying desperately to juggle both of them because she can’t decide who she wants:
