BEST BOOKS OF 2015

HELLO Y'ALL!
Missed writing here so much! Sorry for not posting in a long time, I've been submerged in my readings that I just got lost in my little bubble.
So, going right into the subject of this post... I got inspired by a lovely booktuber named Naya (Channel: NayaReadsAndSmiles) who did a video with her 9 favourite books/series of 2015 and so I'm going to do something like that but I've narrowed it to 7 (favourite number much).
Instead of counting the books seperately, I've compiled them into their respectives series.

So this is my list:
- First of all, my favourite series of all: The Lux Series by Jennifer L. Armentrout (including Oblivion and also Onyx and Opal trough Daemon's eyes). Just by ''favourite series of all'' I think you know how I feel about this series. It consumes my everyday life, eveywhere I go I can see something related to Lux. (okay, I have serious problems. Go ahead, judge away.)

- Secondly, A Court Of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas.I just want to comment this: Damn perfection. Just read it if you haven't for god's sake. This was the first book I've read by Sarah and I loved her writing so much and the story is damn awesome and god, I still have millions of feels by just thinking of it.


- Thirdly, Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell. I'm not a huge fan of contemporary books but I so loved this one. How couldn't I? I was all cutesy and I really loved all the plot.

- Fourthly, obviously another Rainbow Rowell book... CARRY ON! I won't say anything because I've already done a review on this books and I have a ton of pictures on my instagrim with me fangirling with this PRECIOUS book.

- Fithly, The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare which was a huge rollecosters of feelings for me (good ones actually, like crying like a little baby and creating a new ocean. True story, check the map.)

- Sixthly, the Existence Trilogy by Abbi Glines (that by the way, the dude on the covers is Pepe Toth, also know as our baby Daemon from the Lux Series covers. Hot dude, would so marry him. Another true story). I loved this series so much that it only took me 3 days to read the 3 books and for that I basically read during my classes, didn't almost sleep and looked like a zombie in uni. So yeah, I guess It means that this series is awesome sauce.

- Seventhly and to finish up this post, A Bucket Full Of Awesome by Zainab T.Khan which I've posted a review on it and I so recomment to all of you. Another contemporary book that I loved so much. Couldn't stop reading it and even cried. A lot. For real, you should all read this book, it's damn good and I think that today my vocabulary consists in damn, good, awesome, perfect.

I'm sorry if I didn't talk much about the books but I want to be totally spoiler free since most of my favs are series.
If you want me to write more about any of this books I've pointed out, feel free to ask :D

That's all folks.



Glad to write,

DECEMBER WRAP UP & JANUARY TBR

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY *^* 
 Hope everybody had an awesome New Years and that this year is better than 2015!


So, my December Wrap Up... Funny thing is that I failed it completly BUT! It was for a good cause and that is my damn feels.

So instead of reading what I had planned to read in December, I've read A Bucket Full Of Awesome and Sanctuary by Zainab T. Khan that I recommend and thought that both were amazing;
I've read Carry On by Rainbow Rowell that made me cry like 2376876234872 times, smile, get extremly exited and happy and ruined my feels; City Of Heavenly Fire by Cassandra Clare that also ruined my feels and made me cry an ocean and it was damn perfect and I can't even talk about this book without crying (not kidding); and last but not least... Oblivion by Jennifer L. Armentrout. Ohhh Oblivion how you wrecked my life. So if you guys don't know, the Lux Series is my favourite book series of all, my baby, my life and I've read the series in the beginning of summer 2015 and coming back to this world once again but in Daemon's POV brought back all my feels and they smashed me like a 500 pound elephant BUT! (yes, there is always a 'but') I've also read Onyx and Opal in Daemon's POV but it's only available in ebook.
So as you can see, I actually read a lot but not what I planned so my TBR pile is still huge as hell and basically I cried every single day of the month since I cried with every book.
You could give a name to my room and it would appear in the world map as the new discouvered ocean. True story.

And now for my January TBR that I so hope to accomplish.
I plan to read:
- The Covenant Series (5 books by Jennifer L. Armentrout)
- Hush Hush Series (4 books by Becca Fitzpatrick)
- Demonglass & Spell Bound (From the Hex Hall Series by Rachel Hawkins)
Probably gonna fail miserably again but I'll try and it's just the first day of the year and I've finished re-reading Origin and I'm half way through Opposition from the Lux Series. Yup, the love is real, judge me.
That's all folks.
