Hello fellow book lovers,
So I was reading on my kindle at 3am in the morning and then I got the idea for this blog post. These are the books I couldn’t put down, books that kept me up all night. These are not all, only some of the books otherwise it would’ve been a very long list.
1. Cinder
This was a light read, so quick paced, I was completely sucked in and I couldn’t put it down until I finished. Synopsis below:
Humans and androids crowd the raucous streets of New Beijing. A deadly plague ravages the population. From space, a ruthless lunar people watch, waiting to make their move. No one knows that Earth’s fate hinges on one girl.
Cinder, a gifted mechanic, is a cyborg. She’s a second-class citizen with a mysterious past, reviled by her stepmother and blamed for her stepsister’s illness. But when her life becomes intertwined with the handsome Prince Kai’s, she suddenly finds herself at the center of an intergalactic struggle, and a forbidden attraction. Caught between duty and freedom, loyalty and betrayal, she must uncover secrets about her past in order to protect her world’s future.
2. Half Bad
I enjoyed this read immensely, it was a quick read and I loved the characters.
Beware: May cause heart ache and crying. A lot of crying.
Synopsis: Sixteen-year-old Nathan lives in a cage: beaten, shackled, trained to kill. In a modern-day England where two warring factions of witches live amongst humans, Nathan is an abomination, the illegitimate son of the world’s most terrifying and violent witch, Marcus. Nathan’s only hope for survival is to escape his captors, track down Marcus, and receive the three gifts that will bring him into his own magical powers—before it’s too late. But how can Nathan find his father when there is no one safe to trust, not even family, not even the girl he loves?
3. Legend
Loved this so much. I was completely mesmerised by Marie Lu’s writing. and the feel of god THE FEELS WERE TOO MUCH.

Born into the slums, fifteen-year-old Day is the country’s most wanted criminal. But his motives may not be as malicious as they seem.
From very different worlds, June and Day have no reason to cross paths—until the day June’s brother, Metias, is murdered and Day becomes the prime suspect. Caught in the ultimate game of cat and mouse, Day is in a race for his family’s survival, while June seeks to avenge Metias’s death. But in a shocking turn of events, the two uncover the truth of what has really brought them together, and the sinister lengths their country will go to keep its secrets.
4. Maybe someday
This was my first Colleen Hoover book and since then I’ve read 5 more. This happens with every single book, it’s addicting and I can’t stop.
