Some Kind of Happiness | Claire Legrand
post image

My review for SOME KIND OF HAPPINESS by the incredible @clairelegrand is up on my blog, so be sure to check it out! 🌿


Quick question for you lovelies: do you prefer dark and moody or light and bright? I'm always so caught between these two looks, but I find most things look better when the setting is a bit more moody? I don't know, that's just my opinion though. 🌚

I haven't felt this emotional from a book since TIGER LILY. As someone who struggles with anxiety, along with occasionally some very deep, dark lows, this book filled me with so much emotion. I could relate to the main character Finley so much. I could feel her pain and guilt. The sorrow. This novel is haunting and moving, and by far the best middle-grade book I've ever read. Please pick this book up and give it a read. 💚

The Glass Arrow is one of my favorite dystopians I've read. Full of action and a rich setting and WOLVES, this is a great, swift read. 🏹

❝Our heart is our ultimate source of power. We can't forget that we need it in order to love ourselves so that we can love others.❞
— Lily Collins, Unfiltered 💓


If any of you are in need of an uplifting, empowering book, you MUST read Unfiltered. Collins discusses everything from self-love to relationship problems, to her struggles with her eating disorder. It gives so much perspective on life, that we're not alone. 🙌🏻

❝The moon is a loyal companion.
It never leaves. It‘s always there, watching, steadfast, knowing us in our light and dark moments, changing forever just as we do. Every day it‘s a different version of itself. Sometimes weak and wan, sometimes strong and full of light. The moon understands what it means to be human.
Uncertain. Alone. Cratered by imperfections.❞

I've finally began The Crowns of Croswald today and already about 50 pages through. So far, it's very reminiscent of Harry Potter and your classic middle grade fantasy--very mystical and intriguing. 🌛

Happy 4th of July, my lovelies! I unfortunately don't have a themed post for this because alas, I forgot about the 4th. So here's a snap of Quenns of Geek in all it's magical glory. It will totally make you feel fireworks, too. 😏🎆

taylormariewrites @TheOtherMother eek! That's so tough! I would get spoiled in five seconds, and since all of the books aren't out, I've just been watching the show. But I'm also reading the books! Good luck! 🌟 7y
taylormariewrites @georgianicolaoublog thank you! Me too! 🙌🏻 7y
Sophoclessweetheart Thanks sweets. I've actually been amazed by how very very few spoilers I've come across about the show. 💁🏼Like, I've avoided it pretty well 😂 7y

I finished THE FALLEN KINGDOM by @_elizabethmay last night and I just loved this book. I really enjoyed the entire series, but this last book has to be my favorite out of all of them. the growth within each of the characters and their relationships was so well done. not to mention, the mythology and scottish setting was incredibly well done. SO 👏🏻 GOOD 👏🏻

I just finished IN THE AFTER and though, like THE 5TH WAVE, it had a promising start, the last half of the book dropped off for me. I still really enjoyed this post-apocalyptic novel, but not as much as I would have liked to. ☠️

i received the loveliest box today from a lovely lady. THE CROWNS OF CROSWALD is a blend between CINDERELLA, HARRY POTTER, and PERCY JACKSON. this middle grade fantasy is sparkling with magic and wonder. i simply cannot wait to dive into this one. keep your eyes out for the public release of THE CROWNS OF CROSWALD, coming out july 21, 2017. 💜💫
