75. Always and Forever, Lara Jean - Jenny Han

I never wanted this to end.

Lara Jean holds a special place in my heart.

Honestly, I wouldn't care of she ended up with Peter or not. I just loved reading about her and realizations she had while growing. Part of me - a big part of me - wants to keep reading about her life. Forever. I love her to death.

This final book, I'll admit was slightly disappointing near the end. Slightly! Only because I need more in my life. It can't just end like that. I mean, the movie came out and that was amazing and cute and I love it as much as I love the books (even if they skip parts).

But I NEED University Lara Jean, please.

I need older Lara Jean figuring things out and I need her to tell me how she's doing.

Five stars, obviously. Ten if I could rate higher than Goodreads lets me.

74. Waistcoats & Weaponry - Gail Carriger

Book 3 was amazing. This series just kept getting better the more I read.

I think book 3 ended up being my favourite book too.

I love Soap and Felix both and they both got shot which hurts.

Even if it's neither of them. I don't care who she picks.

This series soothes my heart. And I know it'll crush me but I'm ready.

I need to know what'll happen ASAP. The next book will hopefully be here soon. Then I'll feel complete.

73. Two Years, Eight Months, and Twenty-Eight Nights - Salman Rushdie

I have heard good things about this author and was pulled in by the concept and the book cover. However, this was a weird read for me.

Written very well but too 'smart' for me. It took me a while to get into it. The writing style was just a little weird to me and for the longest time, I had no idea what was happening or where this story was trying to go. I didn't know what he was trying to tell me at all.

Although, the last bit, as soon as Mr. Geromino isn't floating anymore, I absolutely loved!

If this story was written in a different style, I would be fangirling over it and I would have finished in no time flat. I really wish it was that amazing book I hoped it could be but it wasn't.

It wasn't bad, just not for me. I gave it 3 stars.

72. Winter - Marissa Meyer

Welcome to the end.

I honestly put off reading this book for so long because I didn't want it to ever end. I still haven't read fairest either because I'd like to think that this world will never disappear.

I never want to say goodbye to any of these characters.

Cress finally got her happily ever after. I feel awful for Wolf but go him and Scarlet! Cinder's life finally came together and the moon is finally her's! For now. It was a sad and beautiful ending and I'll have a bookhangover for a couple of weeks probably, it was that amazing.

I mean, all of us always want more anyways. But I loved everything about this and the ending was perfect. Unlike some other endings of some other books that I may or may not be salty about still.

Winter, however, was amazing. Although I wish I could see what their future day-to-day could be after the big win, I know that's not how this stuff works.

Now I must convince myself to read Fairest and accept that this story is over. Good luck to me.

71. A Court of Thorns and Roses - Sara J. Maas

I finished this yesterday for one of my NEWT's and I gave it 4 stars.

My reason for not giving it 5 stars was because it didn't like blow me away. Like it was amazing and good but it wasn't crazy good.

Does that make any sense?

But I'm having such book hangover right now I'm debating my star rating. Maybe once I continue on with the series and eventually reread it, I'll raise it but this book hangover is too real.

I still have no idea how to properly pronounce the main character's name but that's fine. I've been pronouncing it as Farrah but its probably more like Fairy. Oh well, just goes to show that I cannot English.

I can see how this is a Beauty and the Beast re-telling, which was an amazing part of the story itself. But it was also very different and so amazing and wonderful.

I love all the characters and I do have the s\urge to either re-read it now or carry on to the next book but I can't because NEWT's.

I'll pick it up immediately after.

70. The Handmaid's Tale - Margaret Attwood

I read this before I heard about the show and it was creepy enough. So when I watched the first episode and found that it brought the creep factor even higher, I stopped.

After I finished this book I had a million questions. Where does this take place? When? Where does she go? Who takes her? Where is Luke? Where is her daughter? Who told on her? Is she pregnant? What is her real name? Tell me these things!

Luckily, there's a TV show for me to watch (even if it is creepy) and a sequel is finally in the works.

This book, however, was amazing. I fell in love with Margaret Attwood through this and I bought more of her books to dive into.

I'll admit, it does take some time to get used to her writing at first, but once you climb that wall... it's a beautiful view. So I'll continue to read her stuff and love it. I started Alias Grace just recently and I'm super into it.

If you like the TV show then you should read this. Honestly, read this first then get your answers from the TV show after. Plus the sequel. Trust me.

68. The Martian - Any Weir

Some space survival, Mars, and lots of stupid jokes. Talk about my cup of tea.

This book leaves you on the edge of your seat the entire time. Holy shit. I never thought I would love a Mars survival story as much as I do now. So much so that I bought the sequel.

The humour in this book was also 100%.

I didn't even care that I didn't understand any of the science stuff they were talking about. I honestly didn't need to understand it to have a fun time reading this book.

My boss borrowed this book and read it before I did and she left me little page numbers that were her favourites and it was nice to see which ones those were as I read them. She loved the movie beforehand and had no idea that it was based off a book. I really did enjoy the movie after reading the book as well. But there were just some great humour jokes that the movie missed that I absolutely adored in the book.

I cannot wait to read the next book, Artemis.

67. A Wrinkle in Time - Madeleine L'Engle

A cute kids story with some weird visuals.

So this book was kind of awesome. If I read it when I was a kid I think I would have loved it even more than I do now.

I don't like Meg's faults as the main character but those main character faults I will choose to ignore, mostly because every main character has them.

The move was pretty to see but they skipped my favourite character, Aunt Beast. Like, c'mon people. And the climax/final battle was really nothing like the book. They missed some very important stuff. Oh well, I guess.

Also, wtf was that flying LEAF. No, just no.

I don't own this book, I borrowed it, but I don't know yet if I'll purchase it. The movie I'll definitely never buy. (I also saw it with my boyfriend and he didn't like the movie at all, so there's that.)

66. Leia - Claudia Gray

I didn't think I needed this as badly as I did.

For my first Star Wars fan-fiction-type book, I freaking loved it!

I wanted soooo much more of this. So much more from Leia's point of view. I couldn't get enough.

I need to read more of Leia and far more Star Wars nooks very soon.

There's so much I think I'll be able to get answers to through these books. Also, Darth Vader was not mentioned once. So where the heck he at?

Everyone would have been afraid of him? But nope.

If you want to read from the Princess' point of view with a light and easy Star Wars book, then you should definitely start here. It's probably the easiest place to begin.

65. The Raven King - Maggie Stiefvater

A finale we've all wanted oh so badly.

I marked this in my bullet journal as probably one of my favourite reads of 2018.

But I also finished it on March 11, so it was very soon to tell.

The beautiful ending to this beautiful series. I kind of expected the king to be dead, not gonna lie.

I'll still have to re-read this series a million times before I finally absorb everything that happens but that's totally fine with me.

Also, two power couples at play here!

I will admit, the kiss and the climax was kind of underwhelming - after I thought about it for a while. But I still keep it at 5 stars and I will read these again soon.

Not to mention now there's a series featuring Ronan and Adam (even though it's separate from the Raven Cycle and is a completely new idea and filled with new things) I will be reading immediately.
