Response: A Court of Mist and Fury was a beautiful sequel to a A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J Maas. In it Feyre is coping, though not well, with the events that happened Under the Mountain. They way Tamlin sheltered and excluded Feyre from everything that wasn't planning parties and hosting high fae, dressing in ridiculous (ie "beautiful") dresses, or planning their wedding. Rhysand saving the day gave me life, even if he did it under the pretense of being a dick. The relationship Feyre and Rhys cultivate is perfect. He helps bring her out of a shell she's built around herself after the trauma of Under the Mountain. Rhys and his family help her to grow to be strong all on her own. Maas did wonderful at evolving the relationships throughout, making the ending satisfying, though a little heartbreaking, the general sense of triumph remains. I would recommend this series if you're in the mood for war, romance, and politics. It was a great mix of all three, leaving me excited for A Court of Wings and Ruin.

TV shows that made me want to read the books

I know it's an unpopular opinion, but I like to watch new shows before I read the books they're based on. If I hate the premise of the show, I'm certainly going to hate the book. But there have been a couple of TV shows over the years that have made me want to read the books that they're based on, just because I love the worlds that are built so much. Outlander is one of those shows that I heard about for so long, but I never really watched it. I knew everyone loved it, and it was really good, but I just never got into the idea of it. Then someone recommended the book to me. I know this is backwards from what this post was supposed to be, but I read the first book, and then watched the first season, and decided I was going to continue reading the series and then following it up with the show.  Currently I'm on book 4 Drums of Autumn. I know the last season has a lot of spoilers for it, but I'm still excited to finally get a chance to sit down and re

City of Lost Souls

5/5 City of Lost Souls by Cassandra Clare may have just become my favorite of the Mortal Instrument series. I really wasn't a fan of City of Fallen Angels, it felt like it didn't need to exist. But now that I've read this one it completely makes sense. Also the fact that you're not supposed to read them in order makes it more enjoyable as I could kind of see how it was supposed to be two separate series within the Mortal Instrument series almost.  This book takes place a couple of weeks after City of Fallen Angels. Jace is still missing, and no one has heard from Sebastian. But they come after Clary, and in the process, wound Luke with a poison dagger. Clary doesn't go with them, but just as Jocelyn suspected, Jace comes back for Clary again, and this time she goes with him. She goes into this new place thinking that she has the advantage because she has fairy rings to talk to Simon through, but eventually hers goes missing. It's painfully obviou

Great DIY Bookshelves

Here are some of my favorite DIY bookshelves that I've found. Each picture is linked in the caption so if you want to know more, you can easily find it :)  Picture 1 Super easy bookshelf to make out of an old ladder.  Picture 2 This is such a handy idea! Super easy and cheap also! The cinder blocks would probably cost about $30 USD, then the pieces of wood for the shelving.  Picture 3 This is a little more complicated bookshelf, but still is classy and modern.  Picture 4 Super easy bookshelf that can be made with fruit crates. The great thing about this one is that you can customize it however you want. You can change the directions of the fruit crates so they're all the same way, make it more sporadic, as big as you want, and you can even paint/use finish on them to give them a cleaner look.  Picture 5 I love the use of space with this one. This is great for a home that doesn't have an extra room, or even a wall to put a s
