A Reader's Block... I'm talking about the time you don't find any books to hook you into completing them or you just keep thinking about that "other" book series which is over or at a major cliffhanger that you can't take your mind out of or maybe just a newly budding reader trying to find your niche, genre to read..
A Reader's Block is very common....Every reader would've traveled  or is traveling down that demon road..Felt or is feeling that Frustration 

If you're have one of those times and reading this hoping to get out of the reading rut, You've come to the right post.

These are a few books that I found most enjoyable during "that" time. This is my Top 8 Recommendations for The Reader's Block.

( Note : Click the book cover for the Goodreads synopsis )

1.  Cinder (The Lunar Chronicles #1) by  Marissa Meyer         

This series is a new take on fairytale stories and this first book is a parallel to Cinderella's story. Extremely funny, interesting storyline and the little predictability is what makes this book so much entertaining and engaging to read. It is a light read with some great theme and gives you a sense of nostalgia. I swear to God! I've never had so much fun reading a book in a long time as much as this one.

2. The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

           You probably would've heard about this book a lot on the media. The movie released last February. This book is a beautiful story about a teen struggling with cancer. It is thought provoking, makes you value life more, entertaining to read and funny as well with Awesome characters. Humorous, emotional, intellectual, romantic..it's the full package! (Warning : Get some tissues ready though)

3.  The 5th Wave (The Fifth Wave, #1) by Rick Yancey 

           A book about alien invasion that is cool, with survival and humanity at it's brink. A grim concept, but the humor and fantastic characters make up for it. But, what really drives this book is the writing style. It is so Beautiful. I highlighted so much when I read this book. It's a book that appeals to a variety of genre lovers.

Book Discussion of Organ Reapers by Shay West

Goodreads Synopsis:

No evidence, no eyewitnesses...only mutilated corpses with missing internal organs.When Eli and Ava stumble upon evidence of similar gruesome crimes around the globe, they realize there is more to the murders, but the answers continue to elude them. In a race against time, Eli and Ava must figure out who is behind the killings and stop them before more people die. But the answers will take them out of their comfort zone and into the realm of the fantastic: another world with a different set of rules, and a leader who has no qualms about killing.

Theme Song: How Far We've Come by Matchbox Twenty

Things I Liked:

 

• The first thing I really liked about this book is the premise! The lines of good and evil in reality is not as black and white as in theory, but it's like precariously balancing on a very thin rope dangling in an abyss. The story explores that concept in a subtly dark way, so props for that!

•  The characters! I really, really liked the characters, they were realistic and I cared & connected with them. Tani and Keena were really sweet! But, two in particular, Eli and Ava, I just LOVED them. They were an effective pair! Especially Eli, who is really a badass, he reminded me of Samuel L. Jackson in Snakes on a Plane (Yes, I love that movie!)
  
  Who can argue the epicness of that line?! JUST BADASS AS HELL...Just replace snakes and plane with Murders and City! I

What is happening to the Young Adult Genre?

I noticed something when I made my Series I Will NOT FINISH post and I've been meaning to write about it, now, here it is!

So, as you already know, I'm an avid YA reader. I LOVE Young Adult books. If you think children's books are too childish and adult books are too adult-y for you, then YA is the middle line. It's the perfect balance (For, the record, I love both children's and adult books, still, I'm just pointing out a fact :D)

Twilight ex Machina! 

 
Day by day, I see increase in the people who've read Twilight or a book similar to it and loved it, so they are pick up their laptop to write a YA "book". Of course, I'm not saying all YA authors do it, but those who do outweigh those who don't.
It makes me so mad cause many YA books that are actually better in so many ways get pushed to the back because of ones like these.

I don't think Twilight is a great piece of literature. I would compare Twilight to  M. Night Shyamalan's The Happening. You see that movie and you immediately know even the actors who worked in it knew it wasn't making sense, but they just rolled with it and were like "Let's just get this over with *sigh*"..At a point in the movie I laughed when people were dying left and right (a few by a lawnmower...um..yeah..) The  movie is so horrible that it's epically Hilarious (It's still better than Twilight though..By a Lot).
 
Twilight is a guilty pleasure series. Period. I love the movie Supernova, it's one of my guilty pleasures, but if anyone said that movie sucked I would probably agree..because it does suck on a cinematic scale.. 

Luna & Harry

After Dinner, I comfortably settled on my bed and I started watching some Harry Potter videos on Youtube and then I came across this video of Harry and Luna. Now, you know I LOVE Luna! She is one of my most favorite character in the Harry Potter series, more than any other female in the series (Maybe except Lily). I don't remember much about them in the books, but in the movies I think Harry and Luna had a great chemistry together. Every single scene they have together, you can see this spark between them.

I like Harry and Ginny together in the books, mostly because Ginny's character had more depth and development. But, in the movies, Ginny's like meh...the whole Harry and Ginny thing felt like it came out of nowhere...Yeah, she had crush on Harry, but I always felt like they shoehorned that because it was in the source material and they absolutely had NO CHEMISTRY!!

I so badly wanted Luna and Harry to become a couple. These are the reasons I think they should've went that route. I'm only taking into consideration the movies and not the books, because it's been so long since I read them, anyways I really like Ginny in the books!

Letters To Characters #2: Harry Potter from (Duh! Do I even need to say which book & movie?!)

Hello Folks!!

Letters to characters is a Awesome meme hosted by Alicia The Awesome @ Awesome Book Assessment. In this feature, we write letters to characters. They can be about anything, really. If we didn’t like something they did in their book/series, we could yell at them about it or suggest something they should have done, or give advice some other way, or just gush about how awesome they are. And also- these don’t have to be book characters; they can be movie characters, TV show characters, webcomic characters, manga characters, whatever.

MAY CONTAIN SOME MINOR SPOILERS!

Dearest Harry,

I don't know how to begin this letter, because I mean, it's you! I have so much to say and I feel like my vocabulary isn't enough (I have a pretty big vocabulary, believe me!:D)!  I cried for two whole days without interruption when Dobby died (Even now I'm choking up just thinking about it) and he truly was the bravest elf I have ever seen. I'm glad he got to be free.
