Hey readers!!
So i'm heading to work and on breaks I'll be finishing up Winter by Marisa Meyer! BUT I wanted to share a shop I found and love on etsy! I don't know about you but I love having a warmer or candle going to set the mood while I read. The scents make me calm and happy! So I recently placed an order for THIS candle and I LOVE it! It came wrapped up with a bow and everything! I've already placed two orders and want to place another! I gave this purchase five stars! She was super quick with responses and shipping- although buying one candle at a time does save you on shipping due to weight. She was kind and even included a few tea candles for me to try out which I loved! So i would you need some awesome soy candles check her out! Soy candles are better for the air and smell better if you ask me! And these are really priced well! I love them! I'll be back for sure and she will even do custom scents! I see some Harry Potter scent requests in her future. Lol
Other thank that I've been shopping and working! My son's birthday is tomorrow and you can bet he got a bunch of new books for us to read together! :D can't wait to bond over new books!!
Hope you enjoy! Tell me what you're reading!!
See you soon- Bookish Mom

The lunar chronicles by Marissa Meyer
Hey readers!! I'm sorry I've been so absent!! I moved, had my computer crash, started a new job and just unpacked my computer and got it working when i discovered the Internet at my new place super sucks. So please bear with me.
I started this series because i heard the hype but all i knew is that it was a fairytale retelling of a cyborg Cinderella. This is all I'm going to tell YOU about the book because the not knowing made this series soooo much better! Now I'm currently reading Winter, the conclusion to the series and i own Fairest and will read that after winter but i wanted to post about this series anyways. I LOVED CINDER. everything about Cinder was awesome. WHO cinder turns out to be was pretty obvious from the beginning but other than that the storyline is amazing. The characters are amazing and the plot is amazing. CINDER is a bad ass. Now in Scarlet and Cress i was actually a little disappointed i didn't get to just read about Cinder, but i loved that Cinder was still moving the lot forward and we still got her story and more. Cinder is the best retelling I've ever read to date. The first three books I've read have been awesome. Winter is going a little slower for me but i think that's because i want stuff to happen already. Cinder, Scarlet and Cress were all full of really strong characters. Their personalities are all unique and they have quite strong females. I really enjoy the personalities and relationships in these books. So far Winter is a little coo coo for coco puffs, and i haven't connected with her as a person, and Levanna...well i want to know why she wears that ring and what it means to her which I'm sure to find out in Fairest. But so far Cinder, the first book is my favorite. Cinder and Kaito are my favorite characters, even though Cinderella's Disney version and snow white are my least favorite princesses. Marissa Meyer reinvents these old fairy tales and turns them into new and engrossing tales of strength, willpower and overcoming adversity and not to mention just plain girl power. Which i think in the earlier Disney movies, girls were very much damsels in distress and here in this amazing world they are the power houses. NONE of the women you meet in this series are helpless or untalented. i LOVED that about this series. I never would have guessed any of their jobs based on the reviews i had read and i read a ton, and i love that because that surprise i felt from the first chapter stuck with me. These chicks will stop at nothing to make sure the world is righted and they protect those they love. Sure each character has flaws but boy are they each still strong and interesting. I love this series and keep trying to find awesome quotes and tattoos from the books and haven't found much yet but i love it so much i will be stealing quotes for my wall and possibly even my skin one day. Just read them. If a cyborg Cinderella doesn't sound up your alley but bad ass princess or just bad ass chick does- read it. Just do it. I already have heartless by Marissa on my to-read list. Which is her soon to come Alice in wonderland retelling.
My best friend actually loves to read but has been in a reading slump and i found this series really really cheap on bookoutlet.com and Cinder was less than $3 so i bought her a copy and sent it to her because i thought she would love it. So if you love it, shout it out here and share your love!!
