Bout Of Books 11.0 ReadAThon Day #1 Update

hey guys this week I am taking part in the bout of books readathon 11.0 for fun because I have never taken part in a readathon before, so this post is basically just mentioning how much I have read on day 1 of the readathon which is today. Today I am reading the rest of Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare, so far today I have read 100 pages, I am kind of a slow reader and I'm hoping to at least read 2 books this week for the readathon. I will be posting my progress with the readathon on this blog every day, all week.

Asylum Book Review

Today I will be reviewing Asylum, I read this book just over a week ago and so far this is one of my favourite books, I have never read anything from Madeline Roux before but I think now I need to. This book is about a college student called Daniel Crawford and his college dorms are in an old asylum ground, first he meets these two friends called Abby and Jordan. He had a picture of an old man with the eyes scratched out and his roommate Felix told him about the abandoned basement, so Dan and his friends go down in to the basement every night and then Dan starts having these creepy nightmares, people keep dying in the school and this book is really Awesome. There is a sequel to this book as well coming out next month called sanctum and I will definitely be reading that because there is kind of a cliff-hanger and the end of this book.

The characters in this book are cool because Dan, Abby and Jordan are all amazing characters to read about because there sooo funny and because there so amazing you feel sorry for the characters when they are in trouble or whatever happens to them. I liked Felix at the beginning because he is nice to Dan and he is really quiet so you don't really hear much from him but then I hated him at the end of the book but I'm not going to tell you why because I will spoil the end of the book for you all. I like Madeline Roux's writing style because she made the book creepy at some parts in this book, especially the ending but there were some parts in this book where it was quite slow, but don't let that put you off because this book is amazing I just think that she could have made it better and less slower.

I hope you like my review for this book and hopefully if you haven't read this book I hope you pick it up and if you have read this book then I hope you pick up the sequel next month if you enjoyed it.

We Were Liars Book Review

After reading this book, I could easily say that this is my favourite book so far. If you don't already know this book is basically about the Sinclair family, who are beautiful and rich and get whatever they want, also the people called Gat, Mirren, Johnny and Cadence are in there own group called the liars and they spend every summer together but on summer fifteen something happens to split the liars up, and that's all I can say without spoiling anything

This book was really surprising because I wasn't actually expecting to like it as much as I did, I went into this book knowing absolutely nothing at all because the synopsis is so vague, all it says is, We are liars, we are beautiful and privileged, we are cracked and broken, a tale of love and romance, a tale of tragedy, which are lies? which is truth? you decide. The characters in this book are fun and enjoyable to read about, first there's Gat who's just really sweet and has a "sort of" relationship with Cadence. Then there's Mirren who pretty much lies about her whole life because she goes on to everybody saying that she has a boyfriend and she goes to his house all the time and has "Sexual Intercourse" constantly but none of that actually ever really happens. Lastly there's Johnny and I don't really have a full opinion about Johnny because he is not really mentioned that much in the book to know that much about him.

I love the layout for this book as well because this book is set out in five different parts, Part 1: Welcome, Part 2: Vermont, Part 3: Summer Seventeen, Part 4: Look, a fire and lastly Part 5: Truth. Also this book has short chapters which I really like when reading a book because it makes me read faster for some reason. Also when its time for a new chapter instead of starting a new page, if there's room on that same page then they will put the chapter on that page.  Not many books do but this book has a family tree in it and it also has a map of beechwood island in Massachusetts This book is only 225 pages, so it won't take you long to get through, so if you want to pick up and read a book that will give you all of the feels and an unexpected twist at the end then I recommend you read "We were liars".
