Top Five(?) Tuesday | 5 Of My Most Recent 5 Star Reads

Hi everyone :).  Today I thought I would do Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly bookish meme created by the lovely The Broke and the Bookish!  This week's top ten are 10 of my most recent 5 star reads, but I decided to only do my most recent 5, because 10 seemed like too much (work lol).

*Disclaimer: I'm a pretty easy-to-please reader, so I give out 5 stars pretty often.  However, I always rate books truthfully, so these recent 5-star reads are all ones that I absolutely love and definitely recommend!!


1. A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas (ACOTAR #1)

Synopsis: When nineteen-year-old huntress Feyre kills a wolf in the woods, a beast-like creature arrives to demand retribution for it. Dragged to a treacherous magical land she only knows about from legends, Feyre discovers that her captor is not an animal, but Tamlin—one of the lethal, immortal faeries who once ruled their world.

As she dwells on his estate, her feelings for Tamlin transform from icy hostility into a fiery passion that burns through every lie and warning she's been told about the beautiful, dangerous world of the Fae. But an ancient, wicked shadow grows over the faerie lands, and Feyre must find a way to stop it... or doom Tamlin—and his world—forever.

Perfect for fans of Kristin Cashore and George R. R. Martin, this first book in a sexy and action-packed new series is impossible to put down!

Why the 5 stars?: Okay so technically I haven't finished this one yet but I'm so in love with it so far that there's no way that this isn't going to be a 5-star.  Beauty and the Beast re-tellings are my weakness...

Quick Reviews | Red Queen & Glass Sword by Victoria Aveyard

Everyone has been ranting about this series for literally ever (that is definitely not correct English), and I was so excited to finally pick it up!!  I have had Red Queen waiting on my shelf for quite a while now, but when I found a gorgeous signed hardcover of Glass Sword at Costco (literally cheap book heaven), it renewed my enthusiasm for these books.  After binge reading both books, I am now not-so-patiently waiting for the next book to come out, which, sadly, does not come out until next year :'(.  Until then, I decided to post quick reviews for both of these books, because sometimes you only need a few words to convey your feelings for an entire 400 page novel (okay let's be honest I'm just lazy)...


Red Queen (Red Queen, #1)Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

First 1/3 of this book: It's okay I guess...
Second 1/3: Really, what is all the hype about??
Last 1/3: WAIT. WHAT??? WAIT WHAT?!?!?! NOOOO WAIT WHAT OHMYGOD NOO AHHH I NEED THE NEXT BOOK RIGHT NOW



Glass Sword (Red Queen, #2)Glass Sword by Victoria Aveyard

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is so freaking good but that ending actually killed me. I am writing from the grave to tell you that reading this book when the third book is still a year away was a bad idea!!!
