Alienated (4/5)

Alienated
Melissa Landers


Two years ago, the aliens made contact. They reached out and provided us with a permanent cure for cancer, which Cara Sweeney and her family are eternally grateful for. Cara is going to be the valedictorian of her school, and is offered a big scholarship in order to host an alien exchange student named Aleyx at her house. But not everyone is as welcoming to the aliens as Cara's family is. And Cara is finding herself falling for her intergalactic friend.

I don't usually like science fiction, so its somewhat of a miracle that i liked this as much as I did. It's set in the present instead of the future, so you really only have to adapt to learning about one new culture. Speaking of, the culture of planet L'ehir reminds me of a dystopian novel, and its really really cool. Also, the way the humans alienate (heh heh) Aleyx I thought was a great metaphor for racism or homophobia in America both in the past and present. The story is rushed in some parts, but I think all fans of YA literature, especially YA romance will enjoy this book.

Thanks for reading another one of my reviews. I'll see you next time with my review of A Court of Mist and Fury.

Until then, keep reading!

Books I'm excited for in May, 2016

Hello Internet!

These are the books coming out this month that are worth noticing for me.

• A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas (May 3rd)
• The sequel to a court of thorns and roses, I'm stoked for this book. I loved the first one and can't wait to see more of dreamy boys and vicious battles. Also, this book is thick, so that's just more time in the spring court for me.
• The Rose and the Dagger by Renee Ahdieh (May 3rd)
• The sequel to the wrath and the dawn, this book is based on 1000 Arabian nights, and features war and action and sacrifice. Not to mention strong female characters.
• The Last Star by Rick Yancey (May 24th)
• The final installment of the fifth wave. This book isn't really on my TBR, but its such a big series I thought I would mention it.
• The Hidden Oracle by Rick Riordian (May 3rd)
• A new series by legendary author Rick Riordian, whose books most often feature Greek legends and myths, this book is high on everyone's radar.
• The Crown by Kiera Cass (May 3rd)
• The fifth book of the selection series. The entire series is on my TBR, but I thought I would include this one because its such a popular series and the cover is so so pretty (My favorite color is purple)

That's it for my radar! I'll see you next month with more books! What books are on your TBR this month? Comment below!

Until next time, keep on reading dreamers!

Some Changes....

Hello Internet!

As you probably know, I have a small YouTube channel where I talk about books. Unfortunately, the channel makes me feel swamped, and I barely have the time or tools to make quality content for you to enjoy. Because I want to give you a variety of professional looking content, I have decided to stop my YouTube channel and focus on my social media as well as blog content. Because of this I will be able to add more variety to the blog, including:

• Monthly wrap ups
• Monthly book releases
• Bookworm news and updates
• Giveaways???

I'm sorry to see my small YouTube career go, but I am happy to start this new chapter and I hope this new change pleases you all.

I will try to get an RSS feed/email list going so you all can see when I post. Until then, check for updates on my Twitter. All my social media links are in my About me page

Thank you so much for reading, and I'll see you guys soon!
