October Wrap up!

HI!

so....I actually read quite a few books in October, I read 3 novels and 3 graphic novels which sums up to 6 books! Even though the graphic novels took me like 3 hours to read, they were still fun and just as amazing as real books! So here we go



The first book I read was...


Angelfall by Susan Ee


Format: Kindle Edition
Publisher: Hodder & Stoughton
First Published: May 21st 2011
Goodreads Rating: 4.29 stars
Pages: 283

It's been six weeks since angels of the apocalypse descended to demolish the modern world. Street gangs rule the day while fear and superstition rule the night. When warrior angels fly away with a helpless little girl, her seventeen-year-old sister Penryn will do anything to get her back.

Anything, including making a deal with an enemy angel.

Raffe is a warrior who lies broken and wingless on the street. After eons of fighting his own battles, he finds himself being rescued from a desperate situation by a half-starved teenage girl.

Traveling through a dark and twisted Northern California, they have only each other to rely on for survival. Together, they journey toward the angels' stronghold in San Francisco where she'll risk everything to rescue her sister and he'll put himself at the mercy of his greatest enemies for the chance to be made whole again.



This book was really intriguing and witty, Very fun and a great quick read! if you are in a Allegiant mourning period/book hangover, this book is a good cure for it. I have a review for this up already, just scroll down and the review will be there. This book is definitely  5/5 stars 




Insurgent by Veronica Roth



13598952

One choice can transform you, or destroy you.

Every choice has consequences, and as unrest surges in the factions all around her, Tris Prior must continue trying to save those she loves, and herself, while grappling with haunting questions of grief and forgiveness, identity and loyalty, politics and love.


Tris has survived a brutal attack on her former home and family. But she has paid a terrible price. Wracked by grief and guilt, she becomes ever more reckless as she struggles to accept her new future.

Yet if Tris wants to uncover the truth about her world, she must be stronger than ever... because more shocking choices and sacrifices lie ahead.



I re-read this for the anticipation of Allegiant, and I love this book as much as the first. Whilst it is slower paced than the first, we find out many things and that cliffhanger ending! I give this book a 5/5 stars


Holes by Louis Sachar

I re-read this novel as well because we are studying it for school. It is a childrens modern classic and should be read by everyone, The themes of this novel include racism, power and control, it has a very interesting plot and I definitely recommend it. 4/5 stars



The Graphic novels I read were

- The Walking Dead 5/5 stars
-Scott Pilgrim's precious little life 5/5 stars
-Scott Pilgrim vs the world 4/5 stars
