Book Sacrifice Tag

I love watching booktubers and this tag was originally from Arial Besset on YoutTube. It is essentially a bunch of situations in which you can sacrifice books you didnt enjoy. Lets get started.


1st situation: You are in a book store when....BAM...zombie apocalypse. There is an announcement over the PA system saying the military found that the zombie weakness is over-hyped book. What book that everyone else says is amazing but you hated do you throw to the zombies. 

 Now I know this book doesnt have the hype it once did, but it was over-hyped at one point. I found this book confusing and lacking character development. I got tired of flipping through Clays thoughts and Hannahs explanation. I found myself losing interest the more ernest Clay became in finding his tape. I think suicide is a very sensitive topic and I dont think this book handled it well.


2nd situation: You are coming out of the hair salon with the best hair cut/style of your life when...BOOM...downpour of rain. Which sequel do you sacrifice to protect your hair.

 Now I am just going to say that I LOVE this entire series but when ending this book I felt like this . This book could be taken out of the series completely and the series be just as good. Rose ends just where she started like NOTHING happened and it irritated me. I feel Richelle Mead was feeling pressure to finish a book and she threw this filler in to calm the raging fans.


3rd situation: You are in an English class and the professor is going on and on about this classic. He/She says that it is just amazing and revolutionized literature and you know that is complete B.S. You go so feed up with him/her that you chuck the book at his/her head. What classic do you chuck?

  I dont really remember specifics from this book besides that it was boring and pointless. I do have strong feeling of hatred toward this book.

4th situation: You are in the library when global warming explodes and the Earth is suddenly a frosty wasteland. Your dad calls you and tells you to stay there and start a fire to keep warm. Which book did you hate so much that you go and burn with no regrets. 

Now in real life I would run to every other section but YA first. I would be burning some cook books or non-fiction. That being said if I had to burn a book I have read I would choose this one. . The sisterhood was such a pivotal part of my youth and changed how I thought about things that I would burn all of these and pretend they were never written. I will stick with the original 4 and not the depressing express road to an emotional roller-coaster.

The Moon and More

    Want to know how I felt about this book???

 Keep reading :)

I am just going to start this review off by saying how much I love Sarah Dessen and her works. So let us get into the review shall we. (It is pretty in depth so make sure you have read the book or you will get spoiled).

"In The Moon and More, Emaline works at her family's vacation rental company the summer before she leaves for college. She must confront her values, goals and choices as her relationship with city-boy Theo evolves and she's forced to say goodbye to the beach town where she grew up"

I found the story of Emaline compelling and different from the stories of some of Dessens' other characters. At first her life seems like a dream; perfect boyfriend and happy family, but good things do not last long. We learn about Emaline and her family drama with her father and as Mrs. Dessen goes more into her character development we see the cracks. I loved Emaline as a character; I thought she was strong and the face of trouble, but also just wanted to be a normal girl. One aspect I didnt like was Emaline and Theo. After she and Luke broke up(kinda saw it coming from the beginning) why did she have to go for Theo. I dont know if I just didnt like him because his character was one of the least developed for a main or if it was the arrogant way the voice in my head made him sound. Emaline had talked about all the girls in Colby who went for summer flings and by October we single ladies again, so why go for it? Luckily that relationship ended when Theo made it apparent that he was in it long term and later when Emaline took a job with his ex-boss he split, not that Emaline was hurt by it she was counting days until she left for school anyway(what happened to mister long term humm Theo?) That little tangent aside what I noticed most that set this book apart was that the ending wasnt a nice little package of happy. No meeting the boy a little later, no warm fuzzy ya happy ending. No Emaline had more of a what if ending to her story. She is at school with Luke and she felt that if they were meant to be they would. Who knows what happen to Theo. Is her dad only interested in her grades at school or is he finally over the pride of having to back out of paying for her school and ready for a real relationship? All these question left makes it easy for a Sarah Dessen characters are at college lets see what happens. 

This is how I will forever feel about a Sarah Dessen book. xoxo Rachel

Welcome to My Book Blog

Hey Guys!

My name is Rachel and I love to read. I am the type of person who reads all different kinds of books, mostly  YA, and love a good unhyped hidden find. I usually wont stop a book once I have started reading just to give it a fair chance. It might take me longer to read a book that doesn't hook me in the first 100 pages but I love to try. I was inspired to join some sort of book lover community form the booktube community on YouTube, but I am to shy to record my face and talk in front of a camera. On my blog you can expect reviews and tags that are normally popular in the booktube world. I might bring you along on a current read and give mini breakdowns of the book. I hope that we can just have fun and read together.
                                                                                                     Love you to the moon and back! Rachel
