8 MORE SARAH J MAAS BOOKS!!!!!! Lara Jean Book 3, The Star Touched Queen sequel and Red Queen Book 3 OH MA GOD {Yomna's Post}

Sarah J Maas is publishing SIX more books in the A Court of Thorns of Roses series, and TWO more in Throne of Glass. I'M SO EXCITED.

For Throne of Glass, besides the 6th (and final) untitled book, Sarah J Maas is publishing a Chaol Westfall novella, and a guide to the Throne of Glass world titled The World of Throne of Glass. It's going to contain maps, pronunciation guides, a timeline, and other cool stuff for us fans to completely immerse ourselves in this Aelin's world.

I am especially excited for the novella, not because I'm a particularly big fan of Chaol; I think he's a great character but I was never Team Chaol, but because I think it's going to be about him traveling to heal his back with Nesryn Faliq. Sign me up for that!

The Witch's Kiss by Katharine & Elizabeth Corr {Yomna's Review}

Sixteeen-year-old Meredith is fed-up with her feuding family and feeling invisible at school – not to mention the witch magic that shoots out of her fingernails when she’s stressed. Then sweet, sensitive Jack comes into her life and she falls for him hard. The only problem is that he is periodically possessed by a destructive centuries-old curse. Meredith has lost her heart, but will she also lose her life? Or in true fairytale tradition, can true love’s kiss save the day?

A Court of Mist and Fury {Yomna's Review} I'M RHYSAND TRASH

HELLOOOOOOO!!

I just read ACOMAF

fjghkgshgkahfslghslhlhsghskgsgh

For those who've read the book, you understand. 

ACOMAF is incredible, and blows ACOTAR completely out of the water. I'm so impressed!

Also, please note that I use the acronym SJM instead of typing out Sarah J Maas over and over and again. ACOTAR means A Court of Thorns and Roses and ACOMAF means A Court of Mist and Fury.

Okay, now that we've got that cleared up, please also note this post is packed with spoilers. I strongly recommend if you haven't read this book and are interested in reading it that you leave right now. The goodreads link for ACOMAF is here.

Let's get started! (Yes, I must honor my totally healthy obsession with Jennifer Lawrence by placing a Jennifer Lawrence gif here. Deal with it!) 

The Jim Corbett Omnibus {Srishti's Review}

Jim Corbett's riveting accounts of shikar in the Himalayan foothills have kept generations of readers enthralled. The Jim Corbett Omnibus includes three enduring tales of Corbett's encounters with man-eaters.
Man-eaters of Kumaon contains fascinating stories of tracking and shooting of man-eaters in the Indian Himalayas during the early years of the last century. The stories in The Temple Tiger display Corbett's acute awareness of sights, sounds, and life in the Indian forests, as well as his love for the human beings living in the hunting terrain. Finally, perhaps the most exciting of all of Corbett's jungle tales, The Man-eating Leopard of Rudraprayag is a gripping narrative of a notorious leopard which spread terror in the hills of the colonial United Provinces.
Dramatic yet reflective, Corbett's writings are coloured by his deep concern and sympathy for the natural world as well as the local people and their traditions and customs. This vividly illustrated collection will appeal equally to Corbett lovers and to those concerned with the environment and wildlife.

The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry {Srishti's Review}

Moral allegory and spiritual autobiography, The Little Prince is the most translated book in the French language. With a timeless charm it tells the story of a little boy who leaves the safety of his own tiny planet to travel the universe, learning the vagaries of adult behaviour through a series of extraordinary encounters. His personal odyssey culminates in a voyage to Earth and further adventures.                                         Pages: 96                                                     Genre: Classic                                           Author: Antoine de Saint-Exupèry                   My rating: 5/5

Heir of Fire by Sarah J Maas {Yomna's Review} WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED??!

My rating: 5/5

Srishti's pick #14

Oliver Twist, Charles Dickens 

'Let him feel that he is one of us; once fill his mind with the idea that he has been a thief, and he's ours, - ours for his life!' 

The story of the orphan Oliver, who runs away from the workhouse only to be taken in by a den of thieves, shocked readers when it was first published. Dickens's tale of childhood innocence beset by evil depicts the dark criminal underworld of a London peopled by vivid and memorable characters — the arch-villain Fagin, the artful Dodger, the menacing Bill Sikes and the prostitute Nancy. Combining elements of Gothic Romance, the Newgate Novel and popular melodrama, in Oliver Twist Dickens created an entirely new kind of fiction, scathing in its indictment of a cruel society, and pervaded by an unforgettable sense of threat and mystery.

This is the first critical edition to use the serial text of 1837-9, presenting Oliver Twist as it appeared to its earliest readers. It includes Dickens's 1841 introduction and 1850 preface, the original illustrations and a glossary of contemporary slang.
