(EN) Review: Jay Kristoff & Amie Kaufman – Aurora Rising (The Aurora Cycle #1)
After reading Illuminae by Jay Kristoff and Amie Kaufman, I knew I wanted to read Aurora Rising. Illuminae unfortunately didn’t work for me because of its unusual format, but this book is written in the traditional format and the synopsis sounded appealing to me. Moreover, my expectations were set high because of all the hype the ARC of Aurora Rising was receiving. Did this book live up to the hype for me?

(EN) Review: Natasha Ngan – Girls Of Paper And Fire (Girls Of Paper And Fire #1)
When Girls Of Paper And Fire came to my attention, I was not sure whether I wanted to read it or not. First and foremost, I saw mixed reviews and second, it took place in a palace. Again. I was not sure if I could handle another book in that kind of setting. Therefore, I pulled off reading this one until I purchased it back in February. I finally came around to read this and this book was so different from what I first expected this to be.
Trigger warnings: sexual assault, violence, rape, physical and mental abuse, homophobia. Representation: Asian, lesbian.

(EN) Review: Jennifer L. Armentrout – The Darkest Star (Origin #1)
When The Darkest Starr by Jennifer L. Armentrout was published in Ocotober 2018, I just finished the third book in the Lux series. I already met Luc and I knew I wanted to read this book. However, I had to wait until I finished Lux, to avoid spoilers. I finished that series in February, so, it was finally time to read The Darkest Star.

(EN) Mini Reviews: Shadow Me // The Lost Sisters // A Conjuring Of Light // The Goddess Test
It has been a while, but I have another bunch of mini reviews for you. Two of these are novellas, so mini reviews make lots of sense. Furthermore, I have two books I don’t have much to say about, so here we go.

(EN) Review: Rachael Lippincott – Five Feet Apart
Somewhere in the fall of last year, I came across Five Feet Apart. The plot interested me, so I saved it on Storytel. However, I never came around reading it until I saw it coming up again everywhere. The movie won’t be out in the Netherlands till June, so will the translation of the book.
Representation: Cistic Fibrosis, gay rep, POC rep. Trigger warnings: (mentioning of) death, grief, loss, heartbreak.

This book and therefore review contains te following trigger warnings: alcohol and drug abuse, addiction, sexual assault, unwanted pregnancy, emotional abuse.
At the start of 2019 I went browsing to the “books released this year” section on Goodreads and I saw this book by Taylor Jenkins Reid popping up. I absolutely love The Seven Husbands Of Evelyn Hugo, so I immediately added Daisy Jones & The Six to my TBR. But was Daisy able to top Evelyn?
