If I Stay by Gayle Forman

Hello!!
As you can see from the title I am doing a review of If I Stay by Gayle Forman today because I told you last time that I would and because I just finished it in school today and I should probably write it while the memories are still fresh. So should we just get to it then? Okay.

*SPOILER ALERT*

This is one beautiful book. I loved it. I simply loved it. The way it has been written is amazing. I totally worship Gayle Forman for his writing style. I loved how the whole book takes place over the span of just one day. The flashbacks were simply amazing though I would've liked to read some more Mia and Adam scenes. Surprisingly I only shed a tear or two in the end when Adam confesses, but that must have had something to do with the fact that my class teacher was in the room at the time. I didn't cry for Teddy's death because it happened so fast, that by the time I had come to terms with the fact that Teddy was dead, I was already reading another amazing flashback. And I had already seen the movie so I knew exactly what was going to happen. So, the only time I did cry was in the ending.

But nevertheless the book was amazing and you all should read it. I give it a 4.5/5 rating.

So, I will hopefully see you next week with another review....I have no idea which book I'll be reading though. I don't even know if I will be able to write next week. Things are getting hectic at school and my mom is keeping me under lock and key.

Anyway, Have a nice day!

The Blood of Olympus by Rick Riordan

Hello Everyone!
It's over!! I can't believe it's finally over! Percy Jackson's story is finally over! I'm crying right now....
I swear I got this book on my birthday, which happened to be the day it released here in Dubai and I just held onto it and cried because I had this overwhelming urge to read it but at the same time I didn't want to read it because I just couldn't accept the fact that this story - this incredible story of this incredible hero who has saved the world countless times, who kids look upto - is coming to an end. I knew that once I start and finish it, it would be over. Percy's story which has lived for 10 years is now coming to an end. God, this is deep. I honestly have no idea how the Harry Potter fans - the ones who have grown up with that world - let it go (I'm turning into Elsa! Someone help!). It must have been excruciating to do that.

Anyway, I enjoyed my birthday with my best friends and it couldn't have been better. So, I'm finally 14!
Let's get onto the review shall we?

IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THIS BOOK YET, PLEASE DO NOT READ AHEAD.
*SPOILER ALERT*

I am very disappointed. Don't kill me! But this is not what I was expecting. I was expecting an Epilogue where Percy and Annabeth are living happily ever after in New Rome with their kids and where Jason and Piper are still going strong and Leo and Calypso's Garage: Auto Repair and Mechanical Monsters was a real thing. Where Hazel and Frank are enjoying life in New Rome and there is no worries!

But that is far from what we got. What we got is more worries. More and more worries. It ends in a freaking cliffhanger! A FREAKING CLIFFHANGER!!! How is that even possible!?!? It's the last book of the series! It can't end with a cliffhanger! There is no book after this! What the fudge happens to Leo and Calypso?! And Percy and Annabeth?! Okay.....I need to calm down. I am literally banging the keys on the keyboard right now. I'm that worked up. I'm not only disappointed, I'm angry! I'm so freaking angry with Rick right now, that there isn't anything I wouldn't do to take a flight to his house and demand an explanation. Am I the only one?

Other than the very disappointing ending, the book was okay.Yes, you heard right. Not amazing or anything but just okay. It was kinda slow paced compared to his other books. I mean it is supposed to be the most action-packed book there is. The last book, when the battle, when the war takes place happens to be the most slow paced book in the whole Heroes of Olympus series. Atleast according to me. While reading the other books I swear I never slept until I finished them. But for BoO I took breaks in the middle and even read Wattpad and another book called If I Stay. So, yeah.

This was definitely one of the more funnier books of his. Rick never fails to make us laugh. He didn't this time either. So, that is one plus point. I didn't like that there were no chapters in Percy and Annabeth's POV. That is what I was looking forward to. All in all, I enjoyed it but it is nowhere near Mark of Athena or House of Hades.

I give it a 3/5 rating. I know that is pretty low for me but I don't know I just don't feel like giving it anything more.

So, for my birthday I got 8 books. 2 of which I have already finished. They are:
1. Delirium by Lauren Oliver
2. Pandemonium (Delirium #2) by Lauren Oliver
3. If I Stay by Gayle Forman
4. Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green and David Levithan
5. The System by Gemma Malley
6. Airman by Eoin Colfer
7. The Blood of Olympus by Rick Riordan
8. The Silver Shadows by Richelle Mead

So, I've got 6 book to read....hopefully it will last me till the end of November (though I seriously doubt it). I got to go now kay? But I will see you soon with the review of If I Stay (maybe).

I love you all!
Byeee!
