Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card



THEN READ


Illuminae by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff


I enjoy reading sci-fi books and both of these made me just absolutely fall in love with the genre. Enders game is a great story about a little boys adventure in space to win a war. Illuminae is another great story about a ships war for survival.

Now would be a great time to read Illuminae because the third and final book in the series is coming out in March 😉. 

Illuminae also has a great layout, with files and email correspondence. Each page is a new unique way to telling the story.

I had to read Enders Game for school one time and I HATE required reading because it is forced and most of the time it is boring books that make me hate reading them. So if I liked this required reading, then I'm sure you will too! 😂

Please give them a try and get back to me and tell me what you thought!

Links to their goodreads pages are at the top under the first picture.


I haven't done individual reviews on these books because I read them before I started this blog, so if you would like to hear my thoughts on them let me know and I will consider doing a re-read of them!

Between the Notes by Sharon Huss Roat

Goodreads Summary *NO SPOILERS* This book is so beautifully written and intriguing that I want more! This book reminded me a little of Kasie West’s P.S I like you and is one of the reasons I liked it. The main character can be a little annoying at times, and I had to put the book down once or twice from major second-hand embarrassment. Despite that, I really enjoyed this book. Yes, this book does have a love triangle in it, but it is one of those that you love to hate. This story was so cute and charming, I was smiling all the way through. This book also deals with some relevant topics to today, such as: Societal hierarchy, stereotypes, and judgement. This isn’t the first book of its kind, but Roat manages to remake it just enough to be unfamiliar. This book had me on the edge of my seat waiting to see what would come next. The characters were so fun and had so much personality that I felt like I could really relate to each of them. Bonus points are certainly awa

Here and Gone by Haylen Beck

Goodreads Summary *NO SPOILERS* Here and Gone is an alluring tale of a mother’s struggle to reclaim her children from backwards cops while fighting off self-doubts and the public’s condemnation. Overall, I liked Here and Gone . This book is a nice change from my usual reading genres, but I had a few problems with some of the logic in this book. I’m new to reading mysteries/thrillers so I haven’t yet trained my brain to not point out all of the steps not taken to solve the murder/mystery. For example, why don’t people use lie detectors or drug tests to figure out if a suspect really is a suspect? Ignoring these things, I really enjoyed the author’s writing style even though this book took a while to pick up action wise. I was expecting something to blow up or some gun fights right off the bat, but I forgot you also have to tell a story. This being a new experience for me, I think I was expecting more than what the author could give me. I really liked most aspects

Geekerella by Ashley Poston

Goodreads Summary *NO SPOILERS* This story is a tale full of woe and cosplay. Fans of the iconic Princess Cinderella and sci-fi geeks alike will turn into romantics after reading this fun and semi-tragic love story. Although, if you aren’t a fan of fairy-tale spin-offs or damsels in distress, then this book isn’t for you. I had some major issues with this book, from the slow pacing to the characteristic flaws in Elle. I know this is a Cinderella retelling, but I had a hard time getting over the whole ‘helpless princess’ trope. I was okay with her unwillingness to stand up for herself in the beginning, hoping we would see a grand reveal of the fighter underneath. But I was disappointed when Elle continued to give up on herself and her beliefs. Maybe it is just the feminist in me or the fact that I’m surrounded (and constantly inspired) by strong women, but it frustrated me when Elle wouldn’t stand up for herself. Obviously, her character didn’t have that support like I do and
