The Isobel Journal by Isobel Harrop

(4/5) stars


*I received a copy through Net Galley for an honest review* 






The Isobel Journal is a graphic novel about Isobel's life, but it's basically every teen's life.

It was a very quick but enjoyable read and I love it.

Though don't expect a self help story. It's just a story for fun and a break from all the heavy novels we read.

^ I can relate ^

Also as a girl who is addicted to doodling in class, I absolutely loved her drawing style.

I also liked Isobel so much. She's funny and weird in a cute way.

Sorry for the short review, you can check out my other reviews >here< :)

have you read any graphic novels? recommend some for us !

Read this as an e-book. Unfortunately not yet available in Egypt but you can always special order it from any bookstore.

Tease by Amanda Maciel

(5/5) stars

*i received a copy from netgalley in exchange for an honest review* 


let me begin by explaining how much i love stories about bullying i just love them ! i feel that the subject just intrigues me so much so when i see any story about bullying i know that i just HAVE to get my hands on it.

luckily for me the publishers of this lovely book accepted my request.


i LOVED LOVED this book and every page I'm like "I NEED A PHYSICAL COPY I JUST CAN'T LIVE WITH JUST AN E-BOOK"

most books about bullying are always from the bullied girl/boy side of the story but i loved that in Tease it's from the bully point of view. I've always hated bullies but i couldn't bring my self to hate Sara i felt like her personality is so realistic and i felt my self relating to her (i'm not a bully) when she just goes with the flow and trying to be more like her confident , don't mess with me best friend brielle. 

i also got disappointed when i saw people who didn't finish the book.Sara did need a walk-up slap a couple of times but i have this concept where when a certain character  annoys me i think about it from their point of view....let me rephrase : we are seeing the whole field while players are only seeing what they're eyes can see. Plus in my opinion if i don't finish a book i won't review it cause i don't know whats happened in the end maybe it was great in the end i don't have the right to judge.

okay i'm gonna stop blabbering now...

"We didn't kill her. she did this to herself"
   

the book goes back and forth from the past to the present slowly reveling more and more of what really happened giving you the just-one-more-chapter feeling through out the book.

i really enjoyed this book and i highly recommend it but be patient and stick to the end until you get to the magical moment where authors make everything okay in the end. 

What do you think about a story from the bullies prospective ? let us know :) 

Read this as an e-book. Unfortunately not yet available in Egypt but you can always special order it from any bookstore.

Burn for Burn by Jenny Han and Siobhan Vivian

(4/5) stars

book's summary :)




"This is Karma. I’m a bitch. Can 


you think of anyone who deserves 


a bitch slap?"





a book about revenge ?? yes please !!


this is always my first thought when i see a book about 

revenge....i'm not evil....



but i was actually worried when i started the book i was 

afraid it might turn out to be too cliche which i think it is a 

bit but i like the twists to the cliche plus it was a pretty fast 

read which i think is great because if they prolonged the 

book it might have turned it into a 2 stars books.






The characters: 



Mary: 


mary is this cute and sweet character who just transferred 

to kat's and lillia's highchool....not to add any spoilers i'll 

make it quick..... i totally liked her!



Lillia:


lillia is cool but she still somewhat annoyed me. she's

adorable when she takes care of her sister that's what i liked 

most about her.




Kat:


kat is defiantly my favorite of them all i like her don't-mess-

with-me character through out the book cause i always love 

those strong girls who don't need anyone standing up for 

them i envy them even.  




I just love it when bullies get what they deserve i always 

smirk and go like "oh yeah you deserve even more then 

that!" and reading a whole book about this is like a guilty 

pleasure to me.



question of the day :


Are you the type to get revenge or the type who forgives ? 

Where you can find it in Egypt?

(sometimes the book will be out of stock by the time you read the post so please check with them beforehand)
