2015 Challenges Wrap-ups

22:25 Cilla 17 Comments



One way to determine my goals for the next year is to reflect on this year's progress. I kind of skipped this process and went straight to signing up for more challenges next year.

So, let's take a step back. As 2015 draws to a close, here is where I stand with the challenges I joined this year.

1. Goodreads Reading Challenge

I set myself the goal of 20 books this year, and ended up with 43! I'm toying with the idea of raising the bar to 30 for next year, though that might change when I get my schedule for the academic year.

2. Around the World Challenge

The goal of this challenge, as set by Crini @ All About Books, was to visit as many different places around the world as possible through books. Google Map was used to track the progress. I was meant to have a lot of pins that are spread all over. 

In that regard, I failed. Turns out, I read a) a lot of books set in either Europe or USA and, b) books set in places that don't exist. I did put New Beijing (from The Lunar Chronicles) and Ravka (The Grisha Chronicles), because those fictional places are based on real ones: Beijing and Russia respectively. Also, I often forgot to keep track of the locations mentioned in the books! I haven't decided yet whether I'm going to rejoin the challenge for 2016. Despite kind of failing, it's been fun watching the map fill up with pins. 





3. Discussion Challenge



I discovered and signed up for this challenge - hosted by Shannon @ It Starts at Midnight and Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction - in September. Considering I signed up so late, I aimed to write 1-12 posts - the Discussion Dabbler level. Dabbler, I definitely have been! In that three months, I've written 6 discussion posts, and 1 have been sitting in my draft for the last month. December has been rough on this front, but I've enjoyed reading everyone else's entries.

Also, I won the Halloween link-up giveaway, which was so exciting because I've never won things like that before!

If you would like to read those 6 discussions I've written this year, you can find them +here.


Overall, my 2015 in terms of challenges has been about small, achievable goals. I'm happy with that though! Still, for 2016, I'd like to aim a little higher, but that's for a whole other post. :)

Did you join any reading or blogging challenges this year? How did you go with them?

New Year Resolutions

16:43 Cilla 7 Comments



First of all, a belated Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays, everyone! I hope you had a holiday filled with laughter, people you love, and delicious food. :D

I'm big on setting resolutions - I like having goals to work toward - and for the last two years I have been (surprisingly) pretty good at sticking with them! So now that we are approaching 2016, I'm setting myself some goals for this blog. Some of them might be a bit ambitious considering I'm starting graduate school next year, but I figured I might as well dream big, right?

So! Here are my bookish and blogging resolutions for 2016:

1. Keep plowing through my family's unread shelves. I'm making a list of the unread books my parents and I own (the ones that I'm interested in reading anyway), which I will use as part of my #RockMyTBR challenge entry. I posted a spreadsheet already the other day, but upon closer inspection of my parents' collection, that was very incomplete.

2.Post two times a week. I have been quite all over the place with my posting schedules as I find my footing with this blog, so hopefully now that I'm more settled in , I can be more consistent.

3. Comment on blog posts. I started this blog in order to meet others who love books as much as I do, and I can't really do that if I lurk 80% of the time. In 2016, I want to comment on every blog post I read, or at least 85% of the posts I read.

4. Spend only $100 on books for the entire year. I told my mum about this and she immediately laughed. I have to admit, this seems almost impossible. However, I'll have access to good libraries again next year when I move, so I imagine that will help!

5. Work on aesthetics. I started a bookstagram recently mostly because I wanted to try my hand at book photography without flooding my unbookish friends' feed with them. I'm experimenting with that, just as I am learning and experimenting with tweaking the design of this blog. Hopefully next year I'll be better at both!

6. Read more diverse books. Books set in other parts of the world, books starring POC - bring them on.

Do you like having new year resolutions? If so, what are they for 2016?

End of Year Survey {2015}

18:20 Cilla 6 Comments



I'm always keen for a little reflection, especially at this time of the year. So I can't resist this survey created by Jamie @ The Perpetual Page Turner. I answered every question, so get comfy if you want to read the whole thing!




 Number Of Books You Read: 43 as of today. It's not a lot at all compared to many readers out there, but this is double my reading goal for the year, so I'm happy with it!
Number of Re-Reads: 7 - 6 of which are from the Princess Diaries series.
Genre You Read The Most From: I haven't kept track, but just by looking over my Goodreads Year in Books, I would say the answer to this is Fantasy.


1. Best Book You Read In 2015? It's impossible to choose just one, so you get my top three instead!




2. Book You Were Excited About and Thought You Were Going To Love More But Didn’t? Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl. I saw the movie first, and enjoyed it enough that I snapped up the novel when I saw it in the bookstore. Unfortunately it never clicked for me. 

3. Most surprising (in a good way or bad way) book you read? The Beginning of Everything by Robyn Schneider surprised me in a good way. I hadn't read any of its review when I picked it up, and I went in expecting it to be just meh. I ended up loving the characters and was pleased with the journey they went on.

4. Book You “Pushed” The Most People To Read (And They Did)? The entire Lunar Chronicles series by Marissa Meyer. As soon as I found out one of my colleagues loves reading and has similar taste in books as mine, I gushed about Cinder and the gang. She actually did and is now a big fan as well. :'D She's the fourth person I hooked on to Lunar Chronicles, but I think the other three started reading them last year.

 5. Best series you started in 2015? Best Sequel of 2015? Best Series Ender of 2015? 

Best Series I Started in 2015: The Grisha Trilogy by Leigh Bardugo. 
Best Sequel: I actually don't think I read any sequel this year... >__>
Best Series Ender: Winter by Marissa Meyer

6. Favorite new author you discovered in 2015? I discovered Leigh Bardugo this year and I'm definitely planning on reading more of her work!

7. Best book from a genre you don’t typically read/was out of your comfort zone? Yes Please by Amy Poehler. I don't generally read memoirs, especially when I'm not so familiar with the person, and I don't know Amy's work that well. Yes Please is such a good read though.

8. Most action-packed/thrilling/unputdownable book of the year? This is a toss-up between Winter and Ruin and Rising.

9. Book You Read In 2015 That You Are Most Likely To Re-Read Next Year? I want to say Winter, but I'm not sure I want to commit that much time to re-reading it. Never say never, though.

10. Favorite cover of a book you read in 2015?

Photo taken from my instagram. Just look at those colours. *__*

11. Most memorable character of 2015? Nikolai Lantsov won my heart this year, as both a charming, witty man (hello, new book boyfriend), and a multidimensional character.

12. Most beautifully written book read in 2015? The Storyteller by Jodi Picoult. This is Picoult at her finest, which meant lots of heart-wrenching emotions and beautiful, quotable lines.

13. Most Thought-Provoking/ Life-Changing Book of 2015? It's not one book, but the first thing that popped into my head is Animorphs by K.A. Applegate. I'm working my way toward the end of this series, and at its high points, it always gets me thinking about moral dilemmas. 

14. Book you can’t believe you waited UNTIL 2015 to finally read? To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee. I didn't grow up somewhere this was a compulsory reading, but my aunt's bought the book about five years ago. I put it off fearing it would be difficult to read; I ended up not being able to put it down.

15. Favorite Passage/Quote From A Book You Read In 2015? "You do it because the doing of it is the thing. The doing is the thing. The talking and worrying and thinking is not the thing." - Amy Poehler, Yes Please

16.Shortest & Longest Book You Read In 2015? According to Goodreads:

Shortest Book I Read in 2015: The Queen's Army by Marissa Meyer
Longest Book I Read in 2015: Winter by Marissa Meyer

17. Book That Shocked You The Most (Because of a plot twist, character death, left you hanging with your mouth wide open, etc.) Ruin and Rising by Leigh Bardugo. I remember swearing out loud at one stage because of a plot twist.

18. OTP OF THE YEAR (you will go down with this ship!) Cress and Thorne from The Lunar Chronicles. I don't have my copy of Winter with me, but there's a line where Thorne basically went, "I just want to see you" and I melted.

19. Favorite Non-Romantic Relationship Of The Year. Cinder and Thorne from The Lunar Chronicles. I love their dynamics; these two together always make for entertaining scenes.

20. Favorite Book You Read in 2015 From An Author You’ve Read Previously. Waah this is hard! I'm going to go with The Storyteller by Jodi Picoult.

21. Best Book You Read In 2015 That You Read Based SOLELY On A Recommendation From Somebody Else/Peer Pressure: Yes Please. The main reason I picked this up was because Cam had such good things to say about it.

22. Newest fictional crush from a book you read in 2015? Hands down, Nikolai Lantsov from The Grisha Trilogy.

23. Best 2015 debut you read? I don't think I read any debut this year, eeep. I did post my review aof  debut, however, and that is The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller. I would absolutely recommend this to everyone.

24. Best Worldbuilding/Most Vivid Setting You Read This Year? I loved the world in The Grisha Trilogy. It was beautiful, but there were also parts of it that were racked with poverty, and I thought those were written really well.

25. Book That Put A Smile On Your Face/Was The Most FUN To Read? Princess in Love by Meg Cabot. The climax of this book was genuinely adorable.

26. Book That Made You Cry Or Nearly Cry in 2015? I can't remember really crying over any book this year, but the end of Ruin and Rising got me quite emotional.

27. Hidden Gem Of The Year? The Beginning of Everything by Robyn Schneider. To me, anyway, this was a hidden gem. I have no idea if there was buzz around this or not. 

28. Book That Crushed Your Soul? The Storyteller by Jodi Picoult.

29. Most Unique Book You Read In 2015? Aah this is a difficult one to answer. Let's just say I think all of them are unique in their own way.

30. Book That Made You The Most Mad (doesn’t necessarily mean you didn’t like it)? I don't remember getting mad over any book this year. I remember feeling very frustrated with Journey to the Center of the Earth though.



1. New favorite book blog you discovered in 2015? Given I started in April, every book blog I discovered this year was new to me. It's too hard to pick just one favourite when I adore them all.

2. Favorite review that you wrote in 2015? Hard to choose, but I really enjoyed writing this review for Ruin and Rising.

3. Best discussion/non-review post you had on your blog? Because I think I managed to get my points across best here: Physical or Virtual Bookshops?

4. Best event that you participated in (author signings, festivals, virtual events, memes, etc.)? I loved  being part of Jillian's Blogger Positivity Campaign. 

5. Best moment of bookish/blogging life in 2015? Winning a giveaway from It Starts at Midnight and Feed Your Fiction Addiction's discussion challenge. I'd never won anything like it, so that was really exciting!

 6. Most challenging thing about blogging or your reading life this year? I started this blog this year, so really everything was a challenge! The most challenging thing, however, is managing my time so I can blog and read regularly as well as do everything else I've been doing with my life.

 7. Most Popular Post This Year On Your Blog (whether it be by comments or views)? Things I Have Learned from the Book Blogging Community

8. Post You Wished Got A Little More Love? Too Old (or Too Young) For That Stuff. I was really excited about writing this topic, so wished I'd gotten more feedback on it. 

9. Best bookish discover (book related sites, book stores, etc.)? I made new bookish friends at work. That has to count as a great bookish discovery, right?

10.  Did you complete any reading challenges or goals that you had set for yourself at the beginning of this year? I completed my Goodreads challenge! I set it very low at 20, but I'm still pleased. I don't think I've been very successful in the other two challenges I joined, but that's to be reflected for another day.



1. One Book You Didn’t Get To In 2015 But Will Be Your Number 1 Priority in 2016? Royal Wedding by Meg Cabot. I have got to finish the re-read of the series already.

2. Book You Are Most Anticipating For 2016 (non-debut)? Passenger by Alexandra Bracken. I love time-travel stories, and I'm hoping this lives up to the hype.

3. 2016 Debut You Are Most Anticipating? I'm excited for A Study in Charlotte by Brittany Cavallaro. I'm always game for a Sherlock retelling.

4. Series Ending/A Sequel You Are Most Anticipating in 2016? Remembrance by Meg Cabot. I LOVE The Mediator series when I was in high school, and I look forward to catching up with the characters.

5. One Thing You Hope To Accomplish Or Do In Your Reading/Blogging Life In 2016? I want to be more organised with my blogging and get to know more awesome bloggers.

6. A 2016 Release You’ve Already Read & Recommend To Everyone: I haven't read any 2016 release yet, but hopefully once the year starts I will :D

Top Ten Books I Wish Santa Would Bring Me This Year

14:59 Cilla 14 Comments


Top Ten Tuesday is an original meme hosted by The Broke and The Bookish. Click here for information.
Santa baby, slip all these books under the tree, for me...



1. A Great and Terrible Beauty: I read this agesss ago, but I read it in such a hurry (it was borrowed from the library) that I don't remember the story anymore. I actually own the second and third books in the series, thanks to a sale when Borders closed down, so it would be nice to have the whole collection!

2. Everything I Never Told You: This has been on my TBR since the start of this year, and I keep hearing good things about it.

3. Under A Painted Sky: Yet another book that has been on my TBR all year. I haven't managed to spot it in my local bookshops, so it would be awesome if Santa could bring this to me!

4. Modern Romance: Confession: I actually have never watched Aziz Ansari on TV. I've heard about him though, and I read an excerpt of this book online. Sounds like the kind of book I would really enjoy!

5. A Madness So Discreet: I talked about why this book is on my wishlist before here. Simply put: I. Need. This. Book.


6. Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? I know more about Mindy than I do Aziz, and I'm really curious to read what she has to say in this book!
7. Vicious: Morally-gray superheroes? Count me in.
8. Princesses Behaving Badly: All I know about this book is what it says on the covers, really, but that's enough to make me curious.
9. The Intern: This looks similar to The Devil Wears Prada, which I enjoyed, and since it won Inky Awards, it must be pretty good!
10. Crazy Rich Asians: I've been putting off buying this book because I'm both excited about a book that portrays modern Asians and also a bit wary about the glamorous aspects of it. (I'm usually not sold on books that feature excessively rich and bitchy people, like Gossip Girls.) If I could get it from Santa, that would solve my dilemma!


What would you like Santa to bring you this year?

I won't, though, and instead I will try to be realistic about the number of challenges I can handle next year. This one by Sarah @ The YA Book Traveler, however, is perfect for me. My pile of TBR is still very much mountainous, and I'm hoping I'll be better at tackling it in 2016 than I have this year.

The following is a list of the books I own and haven't read, whether it is a physical or electronic one. This list is a work in progress, as I will be moving in two months and some of these books will have to stay behind, but I'm hoping I'll be able to find them in a local library. Anyway, if any of these books is also on your TBR, hit me up and we can buddy read them. :D

BPC: Recap

20:51 Cilla 6 Comments



After about a month of fun, Blogger Positivity Campaign is now coming to an end. I have enjoyed participating in this campaign so much. I got to meet a number of lovely bloggers through this, and I hope we'll all stay in touch, whether it is through Twitter or comments! 

If you're new around here, you can find my previous posts for BPC 2015 +here. :)  

Onto the recap!

 Five things I learned through this campaign.
1. Reach out and talk to people. Blogging is so much more fun when you get to share your love of books with others.
2. Spread some positivity. Life can be stressful for all of us, but it doesn't take much more than a thoughtful comment to really lift someone's spirit!
3. A love of books can unite people. The bloggers I met through this campaign reside in various corners of the world, but I could always find something in common with them. That's pretty awesome.
4. Don't compare. We're still individuals, and our blogging journeys are each unique. Envy is pointless.
5. Have fun! 

Four things I enjoyed about the campaign
1. Writing the posts. The prompts Jillian provided were a lot of fun to respond to, and it was good for me to focus on positive topics rather than on purely critical things!
2. Meeting new people. I didn't get to read or comment on all of the twenty-six blogs that participated in this campaign, but I got to meet plenty that I loved!
3. The interaction. Not only did I find new blogs that I love, but I got to talk to the bloggers too. I really enjoyed all of the comments I wrote and received, and am hopeful I can call them my blog buddies.
4. The sunshine-ness. The whole point of this campaign to spread some love around the blogging community, and it certainly achieved that goal.

Three favorite BPC posts

Two bloggers who inspired me through their posts
1. Jillian. She organised this whole campaign, after all, and in doing so has inspired me to support other bloggers.
2. Zoe. Zoe seems to exude positivity, and I have loved reading all of her posts for this campaign!


Aaand one inspirational (bookish) quote to conclude the recap

BPC: 5 Bloggers Who Have Inspired Me

18:28 Cilla 10 Comments


In my introduction post, I listed five of my favourite bloggers. There are many more blogs that I follow and love though, so for today's portion of BPC, I'm going to introduce you to five more! In particular, these are the bloggers who, by means of their awesomeness, have inspired me to blog and to write better reviews and contents in general.

This post is about two days late, ack D: Life kind of ate me, but here it is!


Jillian @ Jillian's Books

I'd heard of Jillian before while browsing the blogosphere, but it wasn't until I caught wind of this campaign that I visited her blog. I'm so glad I did. She's very lovely and full of positivity (as you can tell by the fact that she's started this campaign!), and her blog is so fun to read! Through this campaign, she has inspired me to reach out to other bloggers more and spread some sunshine around. :)
Cristina @ Girl in the Pages

 Girl in the Pages was one of the first blogs I stumbled upon when I first started blogging. I read Cristina's posts and was immediately hooked. I love her reviews; she observes books and topics around books critically and invites her readers to have thoughtful discussions about them. 



If you haven't read Amanda's 'Fairytales Can Be Feminists Too' series, I strongly suggest checking it out now. It's an insightful look into fairytale retellings and their main ladies. Her reviews are so well-written as well; she's got that writing voice that can be fairly serious with moments of funny that I really enjoy. I kind of wish I could be as insightful about books as she is!



 As a socially awkward introvert, I felt instantly like I was in the right place when I clicked onto The Quiet People for the first time. It helps that Beth writes like she's talking to a friend. She comes up with great posts, especially lately for Blogmas, and they always make me smile.

I can't not mention the blogger that inspired me to dip my toes into the world of book-blogging. Cam has always been kind to me, even though I've been a clueless newbie twice in the whole time she's known me (first on another website and then in blogging). I've been in awe of her writing for a long time and really respect her opinions of books. She isn't actively blogging at the moment, but you should keep an eye on her blog anyway. :)

Review: Winter

23:10 Cilla 2 Comments

Title: Winter
Author: Marissa Meyer
Publisher: Feiwel and Friends
Source: Periplus Online
Synopsis: Princess Winter is admired by the Lunar people for her grace and kindness, and despite the scars that mar her face, her beauty is said to be even more breathtaking than that of her stepmother, Queen Levana.

Winter despises her stepmother, and knows Levana won’t approve of her feelings for her childhood friend—the handsome palace guard, Jacin. But Winter isn’t as weak as Levana believes her to be and she’s been undermining her stepmother’s wishes for years. Together with the cyborg mechanic, Cinder, and her allies, Winter might even have the power to launch a revolution and win a war that’s been raging for far too long.

Can Cinder, Scarlet, Cress, and Winter defeat Levana and find their happily ever afters?

 Review: ⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

She’s our lost princess. And she’s coming home.

I was so SO excited to finally have this book in my hands. The Lunar Chronicles have stolen my heart from the get-go, so my expectations were ridiculously high for its final installment. I wanted Winter to be another heroine who was fierce in her own rights. I wanted to see my ships sail into the sunset. I wanted Meyer's usual fabulous world-building with Luna. I wanted the revolution we were promised in Cress.

Luckily, Winter does not disappoint.

As our band of rebels inch closer toward making their plan for Luna takeover a reality, we are introduced to Winter, a princess who is 'more beautiful than a bouquet of roses and crazier than a headless chicken'. She has chosen to not use her Lunar gift and, as a result, is suffering from Lunar sickness. Seeing the world from her eyes is really fascinating, especially since she isn't always as off-balance as others would believe. While the sickness is clearly a burden for her, there are times when she manages to turn it to her advantage. Once again, Meyer has created a heroine who is flawed and fragile but has a streak of steel within her.

(Also, Winter's hallucinations made think of the scene in the Disney version of Snow White, where the princess ran through the woods and thought the trees were trying to kill her. I don't know if Meyer intended that, but that's still pretty cool.)

There is plenty of romance to keep this shipper happy. (Confession: I did a lot of unintelligible squealing particularly around the progress of Thorne and Cress' relationship.) While we know who will end up with who, and even when characters find their happy endings, it isn't perfect nor smooth, and I like it that way.

The world-building is once again terrific. The pacing is a little inconsistent at times as the book shifts between times of anxious planning to moments of action and back again, but I anticipated that with 800+ pages and so much to cover. Also, while some of the darker themes regarding Lunar mind-control and glamour, as well as the violence of a revolution, weren't entirely spelled out, they were definitely present in the pages. It is a revolution in a dystopia, after all; things cannot progress cleanly.

I leave this series satisfied and a little sad that I'm not going to go on another adventure on the Rampion. Of course, there will be Stars Above, but it won't be the same. Nevertheless, this is the first series since Harry Potter that has managed to immerse me in its worlds so completely. For that, I am grateful.

Top Ten 2016 Novels I Am Looking Forward To

22:57 Cilla 8 Comments

Top Ten Tuesday is an original meme hosted by The Broke and The Bookish. Click here for information.

I am actually terrible at knowing what books are coming out when, but for this week's TTT I have tried to do a little bit of research. The result is that I'm quite excited about the following releases in 2016! I took the debut part out of the prompt because I am terrible at recognising whether an author is new or simply new to me. Starting to feel like maybe I live under a rock when it comes to the world of YA...

Anyway, I am going to avoid listing authors I'm familiar with. Onto the list! 



1. A Study in Charlotte. I adore Sherlockian stories with a twist (which is part of why I love Elementary), and the premise of this book sounds like it would be so much fun!

2. Rebel of the Sands. A fantasy novel with an Arabian setting? Yes please. That pretty cover was the first thing to catch my eye, and this line in the blurb sold it to me: "She’s more gunpowder than girl—and the fate of the desert lies in her hands."

 3. The Forbidden Wish. Speaking of Arabian settings, this novel is one I immediately put on my TBR as soon as I saw the info for it online. I have yet to read a retelling of Aladdin, so this would be interesting!

4. The Riders of Thunder Realm. No cover is available on Goodreads for this yet, but I caught a peek on Twitter. It's just such a weird idea that I have to give it a shot. It "combines that adventure of Jurassic World with the incredible world-building of Game of Thrones." Basically, YA with dinosaurs.

5. Sword and Verse. This story set in a world where literacy is a capital offense, and as a bookworm, I know I just have to give this a shot.



6. Passenger. I've been seeing this book mentioned a lot around the blogosphere, and I'm so intrigued! It's a time-travel mystery from the sound of synopsis, and I'm all for a well-written book in those genres.

7. The Leaving. "Six were taken. Eleven years later, five come back--with no idea of where they've been." I went 'whaaat?' when I read that, so I'm definitely going to check it out when it comes out!

8. Mirror in the Sky. I also do badly in science subjects, but I'm still fascinated by science fiction, particularly the idea of alternate universes. This book is all about the discovery of an alternate Earth, and the dawn of a new era of scientific history, so I need to read it already!

9. Special. Takes place in a future where corporation controls everything from your DNA to your career. I've been on the lookout for a great dystopia, and this sounds promising!

10. How Not to Disappear. It's been a while since I've spotted a contemporary that really interests me. This book sounds lovely though, and I'm curious to see how it will portray a woman in the early stages of dementia.


What 2016 releases are you looking forward to?
