January book wrap up 2016

It is the end of January. One month of 2016 has already been and gone. Which means that it is time for my January book wrap up post. I read a total of 7 books in the month of January. Here are the books.

The first book that I read in the month of January was Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard. I won't go into too much detail about this book (if you want to know more read my Red Queen book review, but beware it does contain spoilers). Basically it is about a world divided by blood. The people are either red blooded which means they are commoners, or they are silver blooded which essentialy means that they are royalty. The main character is red blooded and was brought up by a red family but things happen and she finds out that she was born into a silver family, and she possesses some very awesome powers. I ship Mare and Maven soooooo much and I still have hope that they can be together. I can't wait to read Glass Sword, which is out sometime in February I think. I really loved this book it was amazing. I give it 4 out of 5 stars.

The second book that I read was The Isle of the Lost by Melissa De La Cruz. The story focuses on 4 children of some of the most evil Disney villains of all time. The main characters are Mal (daughter of Maleficent), Evie (daughter of the Evil Queen), Carlos (son of Cruella De Vil), and Jay (son of Jafar). I won't go into too much detail about the book. The evil villains are banished from the United States of Auradon to the Isle of the Lost. The story is set twenty years after they were banished and it focuses on the 4 main characters who I said earlier. There is also Descendants which is a film, and it is essentially a sequel to The Isle of the Lost. I really enjoyed the book and the film. I give it 4 out of 5 stars.

The third book that I read was Casino Royale by Ian Fleming. This is the first book in the James Bond series. I have watched all of the films so I thought why don't I try the books. I received Casino Royale for Christmas. I read it and the book was ok but the film was a lot better.  I will probably read all of the books even though it isn't the best book that I have read. But I did still enjoy it. I give it 3 out of 5 stars.

The 4th book that I read this month was Hello Life by Marcus Butler. This is a book that is part biography part self help guide by one of my favourite Youtubers. I managed to read this book in two days and I can't even explain how good this book is. It is such an amazing book and not only did I enjoy finding out more about Marcus' life but also things to do to help me through my own life. It is literally an amazing book. I give it 5 out of 5 stars.

The 5th book that I read this month was Life and Death (Twilight reimagined) by Stephenie Meyer. This book was released for the 10th anniversary of Twilight. Half of the book is Twilight and half of it is Life and Death. Life and Death is essentially Twilight, but it is retold. There is also a gender swap element. So Bella is now a boy called Beau, and Edward is now a girl called Edythe. The story is pretty much the same to Twilight, the main difference is the gender swap, but also the ending of the story is different which is good. I really enjoyed this book and I give it 5 out of 5 stars.

The 6th book that I read in January was The Duff by Kody Keplinger. I got the movie tie in cover because who wouldn't want a book with Robbie Amell, Bella Thorne and Skyler Samuels on. Anyway I had watched the film way before I read the book. I enjoyed the film so I knew that the book would be good. I received this book as a Christmas present and I decided to read it this month. It took me 2 days to complete, and I enjoyed. It was really good and it is one of my favourites that I read this month. I give this book 5 out of 5 stars.

The final book that I read this month was the Twilight Saga: The Official Illustrated Guide. This book is a companion to the Twilight Saga. It contains information about the different characters as well as tons of other things. It is an amazing book and I give it 5 out of 5 stars.

Thanks for reading. I will do a February wrap up at the end of February.

Totally Should've book tag

The second post today is a book tag. It is the Totally should've book tag. Basically there are 11 statements that include the words totally should've and you just have to answer them. So here is that tag.

1. Totally should've gotten a sequel. This one is hard because I can't think of any stand alone that should have had a sequel and I can't think of any book series that should have had another book.

2. Totally should've had a spin off series. My favorite book series of all time is Twilight. So I feel like a spin off series would be awesome. In would love a spin off series about the Quileute tribe and their legends or one of the Cullen's or even one about the Volturi.

3. An author who totally should write more books. Stephenie Meyer. I love her writing and she is my favorite author. So I would love to read more by her.

4. A character who totally should've ended up with someone else. I'm going to go with Penny from Girl Online by Zoe Sugg. I don't think that Noah is right for her. I mean he lied to her and I just think she could do better. I still haven't bought or read Girl Online On Tour.

5. Totally should've ended differently. The Fault in Our Stars. If you have read this book you will know why.

6. Totally should've had a movie franchise. The Magisterium series by Holly Black and Cassandra Clare. There are only two books in the series out right now, but I think if they made films they would be really good.

7. Totally should've had a TV show. Percy Jackson and the Olympians. There were films for the first two books in the series while I enjoyed them they were kind of a flop so I think Percy Jackson should be given another chance.

8. Totally should've only had one point of view. Allegiant. Need I say more.

9. Totally should have a cover change. I love the covers of the books I own so I can't choose one.

10. Totally should've kept the original covers. I don't know.

11. Totally should've stopped at book one. OK so I don't think this series should have stopped at book one but I feel like book two and three could have been written a lot better. The series is Divergent.

That is the end of the tag. Thank you for reading.
