Hello people of the universe! Have you ever heard of the Bout of Books read-a-thon? If you haven't, then let me tell you more about it. It is a week long read-a-thon from Monday to Sunday and it starts at midnight, YOUR time! You can use Twitter for updates by using the hashtag #boutofbooks For more information, you guys can check out Bout of Books Information
So Bout of Books 13.0 starts on Monday 11 May which is today! Are you guys excited? So let me now tell you my TBR for this read-a-thon!
So I only have three books that I would really want to complete by this week! I don't have a lot of high hopes for this read-a-thon, actually I don't have any high hopes for ANY of the read-a-thons that I participated. However, I seriously want to complete these three books by this week before moving to other books because I am seriously lacking in my reading and I'm already TWELVE books behind my Goodreads reading challenge! How bad is that? Sigh...
So without further ado, let us get started!
The first book that I want to read is Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard. I'm only about a 120 pages into it, and hopefully I can at least finish reading it by the first or second day of the read-a-thon! I'm really enjoying Red Queen, although it is still a little slow at this point in time, hopefully the story picks up speed so that I can power my way through it!
Next, I would like to read Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas! I have started reading it in April as you guys know if you have read my last May TBR post, if you haven't click here : May'15 TBR!!! I was only about 41 pages into it, and it was a really interesting read! So I can't wait to get back into the assassin's world!
Last but not least, I want to complete reading Looking for Alaska by John Green! Or at least get started on it before the read-a-thon ends! I'm really excited to read this book because I have heard a lot of great things by people from the Bookstagram community and it makes me so excited to pick it up and read it! This will be my second book by John Green, the first one being TFIOS which I seriously enjoyed, so I can't wait to get my hands on this book!
All right, and that is all for this post! Are you guys going to be reading anything this week? Are you guys going to do this challenge? I do hope you join in, because I'm sure it will be fun! I hope you guys will have enough time to think of a TBR or just go with your mood on the books to pick! With that, I will end this post here. Hope you guys will have a great reading time this weekend! Muacks! XD
Welcome to my book blog! I'm Katrine and I hope you enjoy my posts on reviews and tags! =D

May'15 TBR!!!
Hi guys, wondering where's my TBR gone to for months?? I didn't have any time during the past few months, so I just read whatever I wanted, which resulted in how I didn't read a lot of books. However, this month, I decided to do a TBR because I will be finishing my mid years in the middle of May, so why not? So I just want to read a few books to maybe catch up on my goal for my Goodreads goals, which may seem impossible, and I also doubt myself.
Same thing as my other TBR posts, I will be writing the synopsis for the books at the end of this post! So let's get started:
First of all, I want to read Throne of Glass by Sarah J.Maas, picked it up last month but put down to read Red Queen.
Next, Looking for Alaska by John Green! I heard so many great things about this book and just want to check it out for myself! I also picked up last month and only read a few pages before putting down to read Red Queen. Yes, I know, I was in a reading slump alright? XD
The third book I want to read is, Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard. Yeah, I haven't finish reading it yet. :X oopsies!! So yeah, I'm going to continue reading this book in May again.
I'm pretty excited for this month TBR, although to tell you the truth, I can only start reading on the 2nd week of May. I'm having my exams on the first week!! :'( Oh well, my exams are ending soon on Friday!! Hell yeah! Although today is only Thursday. Hmm, this topic is getting kind of depressing.
All right, so 3 books this month is what I'm aiming to accomplish! Hopefully I can at least finish 2 books this month, despite the busy schedule!
Scroll down for synopsis of the books on top!
Synopsis:
Throne of Glass:
In a land without magic, where the king rules with an iron hand, an assassin is summoned to the castle. She comes not to kill the king, but to win her freedom. If she defeats twenty-three killers, thieves, and warriors in a competition, she is released from prison to serve as the king's champion. Her name is Celaena Sardothien.
The Crown Prince will provoke her. The Captain of the Guard will protect her. But something evil dwells in the castle of glass--and it's there to kill. When her competitors start dying one by one, Celaena's fight for freedom becomes a fight for survival, and a desperate quest to root out the evil before it destroys her world.

When her competitors start dying one by one, Celaena's fight for freedom becomes a fight for survival, and a desperate quest to root out the evil before it destroys her world.
Looking for Alaska:
Before. Miles "Pudge" Halter's whole existence has been one big nonevent, and his obsession with famous last words has only made him crave the "Great Perhaps" (François Rabelais, poet) even more. He heads off to the sometimes crazy, possibly unstable, and anything-but-boring world of Culver Creek Boarding School, and his life becomes the opposite of safe. Because down the hall is Alaska Young. The gorgeous, clever, funny, sexy, self-destructive, screwed-up, and utterly fascinating Alaska Young, who is an event unto herself. She pulls Pudge into her world, launches him into the Great Perhaps, and steals his heart.
After. Nothing is ever the same.
Red Queen:
The poverty stricken Reds are commoners, living under the rule of the Silvers, elite warriors with god-like powers.
To Mare Barrow, a 17-year-old Red girl from The Stilts, it looks like nothing will ever change.
Mare finds herself working in the Silver Palace, at the centre of
those she hates the most. She quickly discovers that, despite her red blood, she possesses a deadly power of her own. One that threatens to destroy Silver control.
But power is a dangerous game. And in this world divided by blood, who will win?
That's all for now! I hope you guys will have a great reading month in May! I will be posting more soon, so until then, happy reading!! Muacks! XD

Ugly Love Review (NON-SPOILER)
Hi guys! I'm back with another review! I do hope my review will make you feel like getting the book and read it! (Psst! I just got my classmate to buy it because that's my way of sharing love ;) So I'm doing the same to you too!)
This book was the life of me, I got really sucked into the plot within two pages, and that is how good it is!
Actually this book was my first ever Colleen Hoover book that I have ever read, and this is also the book which just ruined my life. It made all my feelings all jumbled up and I am not sure how I should express myself about this wonderful book. No, saying that this is a wonderful book is an understatement. It's like looking at a unicorn in front of me right after I finished reading this book. I have never even read such book before, and now I'm slowly falling into a reading slump because all I can think of is this book and that there is no other books that can even compete with how awesome this book is. I will get over it sometime, but not now. All I can think about is this book.
I just love the duo point of view that Colleen Hoover had in this book, it just made me feel so much more connected with the characters, especially Miles because throughout the whole book, we slowly get to know more of him bit by bit and why he is trying to distant himself from having a relationship. At the end when we got to know exactly what happened, it was just so painful! I couldn't even stop the tears from coming! However, when I reach the last chapter of the book, it was just so heartwarming and so touching and I just go all fangirling at how sweet a chapter could be!
This book just made me have so many weird feelings that I wasn't sure what I was feeling at that point of time. I was like laughing at how corny Miles and Tate were at some point, but then at the next sentence of the book, I was in so much pain at the problems that they were facing!
It was just so difficult to control my emotions when I was reading this book especially at the ending! It just tore my heart so much and I literally wanted to throw the book towards the wall when I was reading how stupid Miles was. Yet the ending just made me like him so much more when he finally tried to forgive himself and not take it so hard on himself since it wasn't actually entirely his fault. Whenever I was reading this book, I really like to read about Miles' part when he was with Rachel, but then slowly at the end because of one accident, I seriously hated Rachel because of that. However, when she showed Miles how happy they should be, it kind of neutralise my hatred towards her. At the ending when Colleen Hoover brought in one more person's point of view and also added in what Miles were really thinking during the present time, it was just so genius! Just by doing so, it makes the book feel so much as a whole and the ending just feels so much more satisfying! I also like that the ending doesn't feel so rushed, since this book is quite short as compared to other stand alone books that I have read before.
In short, it is a really awesome book, it immediately became one of my top favourites after I finished reading it! That's how good it is, trust me!!!
Would I recommend it to you? Totally, you are missing out if you haven't even pick any of her books up before!
Would I read it again? Hell yeah!
Rating: 5 unicorn stars!
Get this book if you love Romance, Contemporary, and New Adult books!
That is all for this post! Hope I managed to accomplish my mission of getting you to read this book! It's so good! I hope you guys enjoy yourself reading this book, and have a great time reading this week! I will be posting more soon, so until then, happy reading! Bye! MUACKS! XD

Late Friday Reads #14
Hi guys! I realize it has been awhile since I did a 'Friday Reads' so I'm doing it now!
If you guys are new to my blog, I will always try to do an update whenever I read a new book on a Friday (but as you can see, today isn't Friday... Don't tell anyone!).
So this week, I am currently reading Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard. Yes, I am reading the beautiful book that was published this year! Whoop whoop! I am really enjoying myself although I'm only about 50 pages in. This book was kind of slow in the beginning, but now I think the plot is starting to catch up and it's getting really awesome! It's making me gripping the book so tightly and I'm just so intrigued with everything in the book! This book has made me open my eyes really wide TWICE when I finished reading two of the chapters. You can imagine how this book will really kill me with the curiosity that has been building up as the book progresses!
I can't wait to go back reading, so I will be ending this post here! I hope you guys will enjoy your current read this weekend and have fun with it! I will try to post soon so until then, happy reading! MUACKS!! XD

Insurgent Book & Movie Review (NON-SPOILER!!!!!)
Hey book lovers! I'm sorry for being so inactive! You got to blame school for this! Let's put all the chit-chatting aside, and let's get on with the reviews!
BOOK REVIEW !
So I finished reading the book a few days before the movie premier and to be honest, I was just so overwhelmed with everything! From the characters to the plot to the ending! I was just so taken aback with everything! The characters were stunning and although Tris was kind of getting on my nerves, she was still so kick ass! She is a little reckless and stubborn, but that doesn't end how she was so annoying! She was basically lying to Tobias all the time and doesn't listen to him at all! She just keeps bringing trouble to herself! This book just had so many action packed into it, it was endless and really amazing! I really enjoyed this book so much, 5/5 stars for it!
MOVIE REVIEW !
So now, moving on with the movie. Okay, if you were to ask me to compare it with the book, it was bad. Like, really bad. I was so disappointed with almost everything in the movie, except maybe for the casts and the graphics and the action. It was a no for the plot though, although I did like how they added in the box, it was really interesting! I didn't like how they did not stick to the plot of the book, it was really frustrating when I was watching it as it was so different from what I remembered to the book. My mind just keeps flashing back to the book, I couldn't help it! >.<
HOWEVER, if I were to not compare it with the book, the whole movie was AWESOME! The graphics were really amazing, the simulation that they did was really thrilling and kept me on the edge of the seat because it was just too awesome and it was breath-taking! I would give it 5/5 stars for the movie itself, and if you have not read the book yet, then maybe you have enjoyed it better than I did!
But, if you did read the book before the movie, then maybe not so much. I gave it about 4/5 stars even though I didn't like the plot, but other things such as the characters, the action, the simulation and the graphics in the movie makes the movie so much more interesting to watch and I just really like it so much, if only my mind could just shut down and not think back to the book for even one second!
OVERALL REVIEW :
So would I recommend you guys to read the book? Yeah, totally! I really enjoyed myself when I was reading it!
Then, would I recommend you guys to watch the movie? Yeah, why not? I may not enjoy the plot, but I would totally want to watch it again, that's how good it is despite the plot!
I REALLY LOVE BOTH THE BOOK AND THE MOVIE!!! <3<3<3<3<3
If you guys like Dystopian, Fantasy, Science Fiction, Romance, and Action, go pick this book up now!!!!
That's all for this post! I hope you guys will be intrigued and want to read this book even more after reading this! Love you guys! Happy reading this weekend guys! Muacks! XD

Reading Habits Book Tag
So I found this tag on Goodreads and thought, why not do this tag to let you guys know more about me when I'm reading! Let's start!
1. Do you have a specific place for reading?
No. I basically just read anyway I can find. The bed, the floor, even the toilet. No kidding. *innocent smile* :)
2. Bookmark or random piece of paper?
Bookmarks!
3. Can you just stop anywhere in a book or do you have to stop at the end of a chapter?
If I were to stop at the end of the chapter, I just have the urge to continue reading! However, I like to stop at the end of the chapters if I can! But sometimes if I am reading in school and I have to put down my book when told to, I can just stop randomly at any point of the chapter and not have to keep thinking about it.
4. Do you eat or drink when reading?
Yes, I do eat and drink when reading! I try not to destroy the book in the process though!
5. Music or TV when reading?
Music when reading. I find TV a little distracting if I am reading. It would be best if there is no music or TV for me to read faster!
6. One book at a time or several?
One book at a time. I never tried reading several books at one go. But I don't think this is a problem if I try, Maybe I will try reading a few books at one go so that I can read more books. Good idea right? *wink wink* ;)
7. Reading at home or elsewhere?
I can read anywhere. If I forgot to bring a book when I'm outside, I have my ebooks to accompany me! Although I do like the comfort of my home when I read.
8. Read out loud or silently?
I only read out loud when I need to memorize information especially for school. If it's novels, I will just be reading silently.
9. Do you read ahead or skip pages?
I do read ahead ACCIDENTALLY when it's nearing the end of a chapter. My eyes just moved itself and make me read the end, and it just spoils me!!! I don't skip pages, although I do skim through the words sometimes.
10. Breaking the spine or keeping it like new?
Keeping it new. I want my books to look as new as possible like I just purchased it.
11. Do you write in your books?
I only write in my textbooks for school. If it's for novels, I will not write anything. This is to make sure my book look as new as possible, as said earlier, and this will give me peace.
All right, that is all for this tag! I hope you guys know more about me after reading this tag. If you like, please do it and have fun with it! I'm really sorry for not posting frequently, school has been taking over my time! Hope you guys understand!
A next post will be up really soon! So stay tuned for it! Until then, have fun reading this weekend! Muacks! XD

February'15 Book Haul!
Hey guys!!! So this post will be dedicating to the books that I received for my BIRTHDAY!!!! YAY!!!
So let me start off with the books that I got for myself with my own money :D
Firstly, I got Amy and Roger's Epic Detour by Morgan Matson. This is my first ever book that I got by Morgan Matson and will also be my first ever book that I will be reading that is written by her! I am just so excited as I heard so many great things from other readers how this book is just so wonderful! I really need to read it soon!
Here's a picture of it!
Next I was walking around in my local bookstore the other day and there was a 20% offer and I was really excited and went all out to look for at least one book to buy! I walked around the bookshelves twice but couldn't find anything! Just when I was about to leave the store, in the corner of my eyes I saw this wonderful limited edition book in it's beautiful hardcover edition, just relaxing on the shelves, and I knew I totally had to get this book. And this book is Looking For Alaska by John Green! It's the 10th year anniversary edition and it's just being wrapped really beautifully with no damages, and of course I had to get it! But then the price was a bit expensive and I thought to myself "no, I will not buy it. I'm still on my book buying ban!" I went straight out of the door and went grocery buying and I was carrying heavy stuff and suddenly, I just had this urge to get the book. So I just went back to the bookstore while carrying the heavy stuffs and got the book. Now I'm just so happy that I owned it! Here's a picture of it naked!! XD
And the last book that I got for myself is Clockwork Prince graphic novel by Cassandra Clare! Finally I manage to get it on my hands! Now I can marathon The Infernal Devices manga as soon as I finish reading Clockwork Princess. XD Really excited for it!!!
So I managed to 'bribe' my mom into giving me some money so that I can buy a book that I have really wanted for a really long time. And so this book is... PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS SERIES!!! YAY!!!! So I actually got the box set and there are 5 books in it and they are by Rick Riordan.
-The Lightning Thief
-The Sea of Monsters
-The Titan's Curse
-The Battle of the Labyrinth
-The Last Olympian
Now I can marathon these books and don't have any more excuse to put down this series!
Let me show you the pictures!
And last but not least, two of my friends got me two book and that is...
The 5th Wave and The Infinite Sea by Rick Yancey! You guys have no idea how long I have been wanting to read these books! And now my friends got it for me and I can't wait to marathon them! I will be reading it after my finals in November and that's just the right time because the third book is coming out in the later part of 2015!

And this book is Looking For Alaska by John Green! It's the 10th year anniversary edition and it's just being wrapped really beautifully with no damages, and of course I had to get it! But then the price was a bit expensive and I thought to myself "no, I will not buy it. I'm still on my book buying ban!" I went straight out of the door and went grocery buying and I was carrying heavy stuff and suddenly, I just had this urge to get the book. So I just went back to the bookstore while carrying the heavy stuffs and got the book. Now I'm just so happy that I owned it! Here's a picture of it naked!! XD
So I managed to 'bribe' my mom into giving me some money so that I can buy a book that I have really wanted for a really long time. And so this book is... PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS SERIES!!! YAY!!!! So I actually got the box set and there are 5 books in it and they are by Rick Riordan.
-The Lightning Thief
-The Sea of Monsters
-The Titan's Curse
-The Battle of the Labyrinth
-The Last Olympian
Now I can marathon these books and don't have any more excuse to put down this series!
Let me show you the pictures!
And last but not least, two of my friends got me two book and that is...
The 5th Wave and The Infinite Sea by Rick Yancey! You guys have no idea how long I have been wanting to read these books! And now my friends got it for me and I can't wait to marathon them! I will be reading it after my finals in November and that's just the right time because the third book is coming out in the later part of 2015!
