Info: I rated this book 2.5 because whilst it was a lot of fun, it wasn't anything special or groundbreaking. I won't write much about it because I covered pretty much everything in my review.

Date Read: 3rd May
Rating: *****
Info: I absolutely LOVED this book. Seriously, I read it in one siting and basically fangirled the whole time. It's imaginative and unique, and I loved all of the characters so, so much. I also added this to my Goodreads favourites shelf, no big deal.

The Summer I Became a Nerd by Leah Rae Miller
Date Read: 13th May
Rating: **
Info: I actually rated this book 2.5 stars because whilst it was a bit generic/predictable, it was SO MUCH FUN. I enjoyed this book so much and I'd definitely recommend it if you're looking for something lighthearted. I also found out that the author is writing a companion novel for it, so I'll probably check it out when it's released! Daredevil: The Man Without Fear by Frank Miller

Info: I binged watched the Daredevil TV show in less than twenty four hours. It's one of the best shows I've ever watched (it's on Netflix--go check it out) and as soon as it was over I had to do something to soften the wait until the next series. This is a bind-up of five comic books and I really enjoyed it. It didn't blow me away, but reminded me why I'm just a little in love with Matt Murdock.Beauty by Robin McKinley

Info: I gave this book 2.5/5 stars because whilst it was a wonderfully written story, it just didn't satisfy me as much as I thought it would. Still, it only fuelled my fairy tale addiction more.Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard

Rating: **
Info: If you read my review of Red Queen, you'll know how thoroughly disappointed I was with this book. I kind of understand why it was getting so many five star reviews, but the only thing I liked about it was the one character that everyone was supposed to hate. Oh dear.
Greek Mythology: The complete guide to Greek Mythology, Ancient Greece, Greek Gods, Zeus, Hercules, Titans, and more!
Date Read: 24th May
Rating: **
Info: The reason that I read this was because my current WIP is a retelling of the Hades/Persephone myth and I wanted to do some research on Greek mythology. I downloaded this free from the kindle store because I literally have about 11p in my bank account. I was really disappointed because it was so short and barely explained anything at all.

Rating: *****
Info: I wrote a review on this one, but words cannot express how much I adored this book. It was completely absorbing and just so darn wonderful. It felt like a creepy, sexy, and enthralling fairytale, and I was utterly hooked all the way through. I couldn't recommend this more.

Crimson Bound by Rosamund Hodge
Rating: *****
Info: I absolutely adored this book for so many reasons. I'm in utter awe of Hodge's writing, and I think the way that she creates characters is genius. You can see me fangirl more in my review, but I'm so happy that I bought this.
Book Haul
I bought a lot of books this month, so much so that I'm putting myself on a book buying ban. I'm not going to tell you all about most of the books I got on my kindle because they were all free, and ninety percent of them were for research for my WIP. I also bought the entire Throne of Glass series in the US hardcover editions even though I already owned them in paperback, but they're just so pretty. Anyway, these are the books I got in May:
Falling Kingdoms by Morgan Rhodes
The Goose Girl by Shannon Hale
Fire and Thorns by Rae Carson
Crimson Bound by Rosamund Hodge | Review
The Assassins Blade by Sarah J Maas
Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas
Crown of Midnight by Sarah J Maas
Heir of Fire by Sarah J Maas
The Summer I Became a Nerd by Leah Rae Miller | Review
Daredevil: Man Without Fear by Frank Miller
Half a King by Joe Abercrombie
The Gospel of Loki by Joanne M Harris
I hope I'll get a lot of reading done in June once my exams are over, and if I have any self restraint my book haul will be tiny.
Let's be honest: I have a problem.
