Birthday Book: FAN ART by Sarah Tregay

I'm turning 12 this June 17.

And... FAN ART is going on sale on that date!

I was stalking HarperTeen's Twitter account, then I saw a tweet that's something like The Most Anticipated June Releases then I tapped the link. (I was using Twitter for Android lol)

Then...

I scrolled and scrolled, and saw the very-interesting-cover-and-title of FAN ART.

So these are the reasons why I want to read FAN ART.

1. I love drawing, and I draw fan arts.
2. As an editor, I usually save ripped paper textures when I see them, I looove ripped textures. That's why I love the cover.
3. Of course-- JUNE 17. June 17, the day I'm turning 12.

This book seems so special to me.

P.S.: I MIGHT be hosting a giveaway on my birthday! Stay tuned. Happy 300 pageviews guys! ;)

Kiera Cass: The One (The Selection #3) Review

SUMMARY:

The Selection changed America Singer's life in ways she never could have imagined. Since she entered the competition to become the next princess of Illéa, America has struggled with her feelings for her first love, Aspen--and her growing attraction to Prince Maxon. Now she's made her choice . . . and she's prepared to fight for the future she wants.

REVIEW:

This book is just so great. Right now, I still can't get over the series. I don't want it to end! I've still got a whole tank of feels. Honestly, this book has the best cover ever. 

What I wanted to happen in The Selection and The Elite all happened here. 

Celeste stopped being such a brat, and finally explained everything, then said sorry.

The king also stopped jerking around ***SPOILER*** because he died. (yes he did.) ***SPOILER***

My questions about the rebels were answered in this book. Shocking things were revealed.

I seriously love the rebels right now. It's like they're always the turning point. The rebels go inside the palace, Maxerica hides together, they talk, and yay, they're okay again.

I also loved Maxon's letters while America was gone. So sweet... <3

I think the last parts of the book were the best. (but please don't skip to the end) The book made me cry. It also made me kick our walls because of feels.

I have nothing much to say, and my rating is pretty obvious. It's perfect. And certainly, I don't want it to end yet. I know it's a trilogy, and this one's the last, but I can't deny it. I simply can't take it out of my mind. This is a masterpiece.

"This isn't happily ever after. It's so much more than that."

The Elite- Kiera Cass: Review

SUMMARY:

Thirty-five girls came to the palace to compete in the Selection. All but six have been sent home. And only one will get to marry Prince Maxon and be crowned princess of Illea.

America still isn’t sure where her heart lies. When she’s with Maxon, she’s swept up in their new and breathless romance, and can’t dream of being with anyone else. But whenever she sees Aspen standing guard around the palace, and is overcome with memories of the life they planned to share. With the group narrowed down to the Elite, the other girls are even more determined to win Maxon over—and time is running out for America to decide.

Just when America is sure she’s made her choice, a devastating loss makes her question everything again. And while she’s struggling to imagine her future, the violent rebels that are determined to overthrow the monarchy are growing stronger and their plans could destroy her chance at any kind of happy ending.

REVIEW:

This book was disappointing. But still, just to see what happens to my little luxury cruise ship with Maxon and America, I read it. 

I liked the first book more. But still, I liked this book, too. This book revolved around America being confused who to pick. And rebels. Rebels and rebels. And her problems. But to be honest, I mentally thanked the last rebels mentioned in the book. (Woohoo, Maxerica time)

The Kriss situation kinda crushed me. But still, it had to be fair in my eyes because if America has Aspen, Maxon has Kriss. (Do you get what I mean?) 

^ That leads me to a conclusion that Kriss and Aspen were just second choices.

It wasn't direct, but technically, America promised that she would marry Maxon.

Moving on...

America. Where's the brave America? Where's the self- confident America? In this book, she basically just told us I have a problem and I don't know how to solve it. She was always nervous and scared. 

Maxon. I see almost nothing wrong with him, except that I hated how he wouldn't eliminate Celeste even though it was common knowledge that Celeste was a brat. He eliminated a girl who just said something bad about America, so why wouldn't he eliminate a girl who made America beyond angry?

The King. Like a typical father of the richer-person-in-a-relationship, he was stupid. As stupid as Kriss.

The story flow was a little bit too slow, but it's fine. 

This book made me cry. But, I still think that it's a little bit ugh-able, so my final rating is 7/10.

I'd recommend this book if you loved book one.
I'll definitely read The One, because my feels covered the annoying feeling. ;)
