Dewey's 24hrs Readathon [TBR]

Yes, I've decided to sign up for Dewey's 24hrs Readathon in midst of my finals. (IKR?) Well, this readathon takes place on the 23rd April 2016 and every participants from all over the world would be starting at the same time. Since I'm located in Cardiff, I would be following the British Summer Time which starts at 1PM till 1PM of 24th April 2016. It's not a lot of time but I have studies to do while participating in this readathon, I'll just have to see what's gonna happen. 

Anyways, my TBR would be a simple one. I plan to finish up the rest of the novellas in Tales From the Shadowhunter Academy by Cassandra Clare and many other co-authors. I'm currently at 'The Evil We Love' and would be starting my readathon from there.

TBR List


Starting point: 4% of The Evil We Love
Pale Kings and Princes
Bitter of Tongue
The Fiery Trial
Born to Endless Night
Angels Twice Descending
After I'm done (if I actually did finish) Tales From The Shadowhunter Academy, I can finally start Lady Midnight (The Dark Artifices series)! But so far, the above is my TBR for Dewey's 24hrs readathon. 

Comment down below if you're joining this readathon and what do you plan on reading!

Review: Fairest: Levana's Story

Fairest: Levana's Story Fairest: Levana's Story by Marissa Meyer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Novella of the Lunar Chronicles series - a story about Queen Levana (of how she became who she is). I have high hopes for this series because of how Marissa Meyer twists and turns the common knowledge of fairytales. I always do enjoy a good fairytale retelling.

It hurts to read about Levana. If she's evil, then her sister would be far worst. Levana is a victim, a broken doll since the miserable fire incident in her childhood time. I couldn't but to sympathise Levana, for her past. Looks is by far one of the most important aspects for a female. Yes, you shouldn't judge a book by its cover but everybody judges, it's the truth. Because of she was too concerned of it, she has lost confidence with herself, turning into who she is now.

I enjoy being in the Lunar world again, after so long. (and still anticipating Winter) Fairest was an unexpected published. It was totally unnecessary because the series has not yet ended. (and because I always do think novellas are quite unnecessarry) It was a bonus but also a disappointment as the last book was delayed even further. I would want the ending more than this piece of novella.
