Skulduggery Pleasant by Derek Landy
4.0
Two words: Loved it.
I really liked the writing style. But I think what got me addicted was the humour and the relationship between Steph and Skul. It was as if they were best friends and sometimes acted like father and daughter what with Skul's protective nature and need to stay together. I liked the plot and it was filled with a lot of twists and turns that made it even more intriguing. I have to admit Skul and Steph have really grown on my and I'm definitely going to read the rest of the series. I would recommend this for anyone who is fan of HP or fantasy in general.

The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss
5.0
I.....okay.....WOW!!!!!!!
Sorry I just need a minute to collect myself *deep breathe*
Alright! Now where to start?
This was hands down one of the best fantasy novels I have ever read. Let me just say that Pat Rothfuss is an incredibly talented writer who will wrap you up in a story faster than you can say Arcanum.
I don't want to talk about the plot since I don't wanna spoil it for anyone but I will give a few details. The story is told from the POV of Kvothe a young student who lost everything he called home and ended up at the University a place where scholars can receive an education in maths, magic, etc. The book talks about his experience there. That's all I'm gonna say.
This is an amazing read. It's slow in the begging but once you get to the halfway point or so it really speeds up. It took me some time to finish but that's because I was really busy with school and the such.
Anyways a good book that seemed a little dark at times but managed to keep me captivated till the very end. Definitely gonna read wise man's fear sometime soon.
I would recommend it to people who love books that take you into an entirely new world with different races, cites, conflicts, etc.
One last thing before I take my leave.....
Pat you rock!!!

Hit and Run by Lurlene McDaniel

Hmmmmmm...I'll be honest here, this was okay.
I'm not really a fan of realistic fiction and there was no real mystery. I mean you know who hit the girl about halfway through the book.
But overall it was fine the writing was good and the story was very real.
These kind of books make you realize that these things can happen to anyone and their a good way to get messages out there.
If you're a fan of realism you might like this.

Hmmmmm...This was alright. Not my favourite but it had its moments. I'm not sure of whether or not I will continue the series.

Diary of an AssCan by Andy Weir

This was a pretty cool idea. The short story takes place a few months before the Martian and it gives the reader insight into the lives of the characters before the mission.
There wasn't much information here, other than the different team building exercises and a bit of background on some characters.
If you're worried that you're gonna miss out on a lot of information if you don't read this then stop worrying! This is just a fun little story that is just there for insight and backstory.
