Rachel Reviews: A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
I'm not going to lie to you: I was filled with many reservations before starting this book, recommended to me as it was by a friend who, having been lured into it by people around her, found that it lacked a certain something for her. My vision of my reading was one of endurance, where I had to try and get through it for her sake so that we could then tear it apart and examine its parts in a derisory and scathing manner for our own amusement. In the context of the action of the book, this is quite apt.

Rachel Reviews: Afterburn by D. Andrews
D. Andrews's Afterburn is a vividly imagined tale which concerns itself with Kara and Caethiid who have known each other since childhood. Both are orphans and so it seems only natural that they should become friends, thrown as they are into the same orphanage and having no-one else. However, Caethiid is also intrigued by Kara due to her difference.

Main Character Vibes
“You are alive, and you don’t need to justify your existence. You can be the biggest mystery in your own story.” I recently discovered the work of Don Miguel Ruiz and it changed my life. After inhaling The Four Agreements, I decided to read The Voice of Knowledge. I had to stop reading the book for a bit because of how profoundly it shook me to the core.

Amanda Hocking is My Inspiration
“When you dance with the devil, the devil doesn't change. The devil changes you.” ― Amanda Hocking, My Blood Approves I remember being twelve years old. I had happened to be addicted to vampire YA fiction because of the Twilight saga. I inhaled those novels faster than you can say "Edward Cullen". But everything changed when I discovered the book series titled My Blood Approves by Amanda Hocking. She wrote from her own voice and I loved that. I maybe was a little young to be reading novels like that but wow did she ever make a name for herself from such a young age.

Inside Out: Understanding the Inner Mechanisms of eBooks
Before we dive into the inner mechanisms and how eBook works, we must understand the history of this revolutionary technology that stopped the extinction of literature. E-books are digital files including text and graphics that are like printed books and may be distributed electronically or viewed on-screen. They may be made by converting printer files or drawing on databases and text files. The e-book sector acquired public prominence in the late 1990s, when firms such as Peanut Press began providing literature for personal digital assistants. Despite a dip during the dot-com disaster, it rebounded with Sony's 2006 e-reader and Amazon's Kindle in 2007, resulting in a strong rise in US e-book sales.
