The graveyard book By: Neil Gaiman

If this book doesn't become a classic, then I don't know what will.  The Graveyard book follows Nobody Owens, Bod for short. He whole family becomes murdered one night when he was a baby. He then escapes to the graveyard and is taken in and raised by ghosts. However, as he grows older, he find himself wanting to explore the outside world. But are there more dangers outside the graveyard than Bod knows about? This story is about unusual relationships, bravery and that maybe not all ghosts are as evil as others. I have previously read Coraline which is another book by Neil Gaiman. What I have discovered that although his writing is not particularly complex, the scenes he creates are so amazingly realistic and intriguing. It empathizes on the main surroundings and some specific details but leaves the rest to imagination. All of Neil Gaiman's stories and characters are so unique but I especially loved the characters from this book. My favorites were Bod and his guardi...

The Hate U Give by: Angie Thomas

I just finished reading The Hate U Give and it was phenomenal. This book has definitely become one of favourite books of 2017.  There aren't many YA books that include African - American street communities, but this one captured it perfectly.  I won't elaborate too much in the story because its sort of a whole journey with surprises that will be ruined if I tell you too much. It is quite a slow paced book but it somehow manages to always keep the suspense at its highest. This book was impossible to put down! The story includes a lot of controversial on police brutality, racism and shows us how not everyone who ends up in prison is a bad person. I has given me a whole different perspective on that matter. It was beautifully written. Despite, the author didn't seem make a big deal out of empathizing the secondary characters throughout the storyline, we really get to witness their unique personalities.  Although it is categorized as a YA book, I think it is ...

The Wrath and the Dawn

The Wrath and the Dawn - Duo-logy By: RenĂ©e Andien I just finished this duology and I can even think right now. The brilliance of this series hasn’t even sunk in yet. This is a truly wonderful piece of work which has torn my heart out of my chest. The writing is so rich and vivid and it just takes you on this unexpected and so beautiful adventure. Every word is so carefully thought out and it just perfectly flows and set the story’s Arabian scenery in the Golden age. I will only summarize the first book. The story is a fairytale retelling of 1001 nights. Although this one is of a much more complicated storyline. The Caliph of Khorasan, who is known the monster of a king, marries a new wife every day and every dawn they are found dead with a silk cord around their neck. Sharhrzad, who’s best friend was recently murdered by him volunteers to be the next wife. To seek revenge. She uses her ability to tell the most captivating stories to stay alive the first da...
