Hey all! So for this opening, I’m adding a bit of a tag to POTW with The Golden Gang’s prompt number 3:

Prompt 3: This time we are sharing books: 1) A book that you enjoyed reading last year 2) A book you recently read 3) A book that will be published soon that you can’t wait to read

So obviously, there are a lot of books I could choose for all of these categories, lol, but I will try to pick only ones I haven’t talked a lot about on this blog.

So.

1) Seraphina was a gorgeous storytelling with super-smart, sarcastic dragons; I loved it. 2) Enchanted was adorable and--I'm not trying to be cute, but honestly--enchanting, intricately tying together numerous fairytales into a lovely story. 3) As for The Fever Code, I still haven’t forgiven Dashner for The Death Cure, but this is the prequel I actually wanted, so honestly, I basically have no choice.

ON TO THE POSTS!

You Are Loved by Aimee. Man, I didn't even know what to say when I finished this post. I almost cried reading it, and all I could think was THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WRITING THIS.

Real or Not Real by Jessi. An interesting post about the fictionality of fiction--and why much of it should probably stay that way.

Allegiant Discussion by Liz. Obviously, tons of spoilers if you hadn't read the rest of the Divergentseries, but I love how deep she goes into the storytelling. It's brilliant.

The Objectification of Books by Shanti. Because books truly areso much more than objects. :)

That's all my posts for this week! Have you read the Allegiant series? Are you more into realism in fiction or something more fantastical and idealistic? Can't wait to hear from you all and I will see you in the comment section!
