Half Bad by Sally Green


THEN READ


Storm Siren by Mary Weber



I love Mary Weber's writing style and Sally Green pleasantly surprised me with her debut novel. Both books deal with magic and/or the elements and how our main character uses their talents to discover themselves and to save the world. Blah, Blah you already know the format of every Young Adult book ever. 

But these two books will take you to places you have never been in a YA universe! Seriously guys these two go together like peanut butter and jelly! You might not see the connection at first other than the obvious magic and world building, but dive deeper and you see their true connection. 


War and evil with some serious issues that the characters go through that will make your heart hurt and your head spin. Both tales are hauntingly beautiful all wrapped up in a big bow of tragedy. You really have to be committed to read these series because they both end in cliff-hangers 😢.


If you haven't heard of either just go ahead and buy both to save you time! :) The Goodreads pages are linked at the beginning of this post if you want to read more! 


But really just take my word for it! If your reading style is anything like mine I know you will love them both. (If you end up not liking them then call me crazy and slap a big label on my forehead to wear around in shame!)


I haven't done individual, in depth reviews on these books because I read them before I started this blog so if you would like to request a review for one or both of these books just let me know in the comments or email me at darlindiva.mm@gmail.com and I will consider doing a re-read! ❤
P.S. These posts can be found under the "Viewpoints" page.

Coffee or Tea with books?

By

Most people like to have a drink and a snack with them when reading, the question is though, whether you prefer coffee or tea? Now as a southern white girl (I can just see the stereotypes piling up) I was raised on Starbucks and Sweet Tea. Although I tend to drink more coffee than tea, I still like both. One can argue that these two things don't really count as tea or coffee seeing as they are all sugared up and transformed from their original state. But honestly, when i'm reading I don't usually drink anything, and if I do it's water. The only time I make coffee or tea myself, is when I want to take a cool bookstagram picture, and then I end up dumping it out without drinking it. I have an owlcrate subscription so when they pack tea into their boxes I usually just keep them around for keepsake purposes. Sometimes I will get the courage to actually drink those teas, but I end up not liking them because they are too bitter or have no taste. Does anyone else share

Book Road Trip!

{Credit to Conceptdraw.com} For a long time now I have always wanted to go on a road trip, and then I thought to myself, “What better way to make it more useful than to add books?” Voila! That is how this idea came to life. As a resident of the great state of Florida, that is where I will start. I will then make my way across the country to hundreds of different Indie bookstores and maybe meet up with booktubers and instagramers while I’m en route. I want to save up some cash and then buy at least one book from the bookstores I visit and keep tabs on where I’ve been and what it was like. I’ve had my heart set on going on a road trip for some time now and this just makes it even better! I think this is a great way to discover new books while also travelling and seeing different parts of the country. It would be awesome if I had some friends that would like to come along with me, but none of my friends read ☹ . This is great because every-time I would look at that book it w

I Can’t Make This Up by Kevin Hart

Goodreads Summary *NO SPOILERS* Kevin Hart knows how to write a book full of wisdom and humor. Not only can he crack jokes he can impart some strong advice. After finishing this book all I wanted to do was write a long message to Kevin explaining how much he has motivated me, and how his book managed to positively impact my day. His book is the first autobiography I have ever read, and he has made me want to read more from that genre. I don’t know what possessed me to pick it up, but I’m glad I did! Not only is it an inspiring story about the ups and downs in life, it has pictures to accompany it! I loved reading about his progression as a person. From working to become a comedian, to evolving in his relationships to become a better man. Kevin sets the bar high in his determination and work ethic, he reminds us that you have to be all in and have a network of supporters to call on for help. I like his approach to life, and I can only hope to accomplish a portion of
