Page Turning Tuesday: The Fault In Our Stars by John Green

Despite the tumor-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal, her final chapter inscribed upon diagnosis. But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel's story is about to be completely rewritten. (via. Goodreads)

I wasn't crying. I was sweating through my eyes.

Actually, I couldn't cry at all because I had finished reading it during class and that caused me to be so frustrated that I wanted to flip all of the whales in the world.

John Green is most likely evil.

These were my main thoughts about the book. Although it is a popular book and it will be in theaters in June (oh God, where are my tissues?), unfortunately many people haven't read it. Or perhaps that they are still thinking about reading it or not. Here's a piece of advice for you: READ IT!!

This book has put me on the edge of my seat and has made me frustrated, not only because John Green is evil but also because due to my school activities, I couldn't finish it within a day.

I will not say anything about the book. I shall not spoil it for anyone. The only hint I shall give you is to expect a slap in the face soon. 'Nuff said.

I guess I can relate to Hazel a little bit when viewing diseases. I may not have Cancer, but Diabetes has given me a sense of hopelessness. I guess this is why I enjoy this book a bit more, because no matter what we have, it shows that we can develop that hopelessness.

This book definitely receives 5 Nerdy Cats. John Green is an amazing writer and I might've downloaded more of his books the minute I finished reading this one *pokerface*

Page Turning Tuesday: Cruel Beauty by Rosemund Hodge

    Based on the classic fairy tale Beauty and the Beast, Cruel Beauty is a dazzling love story about our deepest desires and their power to change our destiny.

Since birth, Nyx has been betrothed to the evil ruler of her kingdom-all because of a foolish bargain struck by her father. And since birth, she has been in training to kill him.

With no choice but to fulfill her duty, Nyx resents her family for never trying to save her and hates herself for wanting to escape her fate. Still, on her seventeenth birthday, Nyx abandons everything she's ever known to marry the all-powerful, immortal Ignifex. Her plan? Seduce him, destroy his enchanted castle, and break the nine-hundred-year-old curse he put on her people.

But Ignifex is not at all what Nyx expected. The strangely charming lord beguiles her, and his castle-a shifting maze of magical rooms-enthralls her.

As Nyx searches for a way to free her homeland by uncovering Ignifex's secrets, she finds herself unwillingly drawn to him. Even if she could bring herself to love her sworn enemy, how can she refuse her duty to kill him? With time running out, Nyx must decide what is more important: the future of her kingdom, or the man she was never supposed to love. (via. Goodreads)

In this dark twist of Beauty and the Beast, you'll find yourself asking questions throughout the book- I know I did.
If you are a fan of Beauty and the Beast and Greek/Roman mythology and demons, this is the book for you. This book will lead you to unexpecting twists and turns that will leave you not wanting to pry your eyes away.


I give this book five Nerdy Cats. I am a big fan of Beauty and the Beast AND of Greek/Roman mythology and I found this book an absolute joy to read. It definitely made me question and wonder so many things throughout the book, but it gave an amazing and different ending that is similar to the original Beauty and the Beast (well, the Disney version anyways)
