A Court of Thorns and Roses  #1 by Sarah J. Maas Adventure Fantasy Romance Review #1 * * * * * Stars (Amazing!) This book is by far one of my favorite fantasy books about faeries.

Looking for Alaska by John Green Mystery Realistic Fiction Romance Review #1 * * * Stars (Pretty good) I thought that this book was okay, but definitely not the best book I have read in the past month.
