Friday Share (4) : Heroines in Classics

Friday Share is a weekly meme hosted here at Spare Reads to spotlight 1-2 novels at a time based on a particular theme.

Guess what? It's Friday again! "So?" you ask, well, it's time for Friday Share :) I know you have been looking forward to this all week, right? Right? (Don't lie, you know you want it!) 

For this week, I would like to show off two awesome heroines from some classic fantasy novels you may have missed out. Personally, I'm a big fan for strong female MCs. If you add a high fantasy setup to it, I will be happier than ever. So behold my friends, here come Alanna and Sabriel!

Friday Share (3) : When Reality TV Show Meets Dystopian Society

Friday Share is a weekly meme hosted here at Spare Reads to spotlight 1-2 novels at a time based on a particular theme.

Woohoo! It's Friday again :) Happy holidays everyone! 

Christmas is one of my favorite holidays in the year and I hope you had as much fun with your family as I did.

Aside from eating all the delicious homemade gingerbreads, I also enjoy watching reality TV shows to kill my free time during this long winter break. Property Brothers, Kitchen Nightmare, ANTM... (I watch a lot of these...) I love the drama and entertainment in a good reality TV show.

Well, guess what, you can find traces of reality TV shows in books as well! This week, I would like to bring you the new edition of the weekly feature post Friday Share - When Reality TV Show Meets Dystopian Society. Excited? I know I am :P

Friday Share (2) : Oh My, those Cover Arts

Friday Share is a weekly meme hosted here at Spare Reads to spotlight 1-2 novels at a time based on a particular theme.

Hello everyone and happy Friday!

How is everything going? Bought any new books? Discovered any interesting music? I hope it has been a splendid week for you all. If not, well, it's almost over :P

Last Friday, I presented the first issue of Friday Share. If you haven't seen it, you can find it here. Hope you enjoyed reading it and maybe even looked into those books for a little bit. Today, I'm happy to announce the theme of the second Friday Share issue Oh My, those Cover Arts!

A couple of days ago, I came across a poll on Goodreads that asked about whether or not you would pick up a book based solely on its cover arts. I was like, heck yeah! I bet many of you have the same kind of obsession as I do. Those times when you walk into a bookstore and your eyes just instantly lock on to this one book. You may not know what it's about or the author who wrote it, but the cover is just simply gorgeous. For me, 9 out 10 times that book ended up on my book shelf. Here are some of my recent additions. Enjoy!

Friday Share (1) : Fairytale Explorer

Friday Share is a weekly meme hosted here at Spare Reads to spotlight 1-2 novels at a time based on a particular theme.

Hi, everyone! 

I hope you have been enjoying the Christmas shopping mania :) As for me, I was hooked on City of Bones for the past couple of days and I must say that it's absolutely AMAZING. I will post a review shortly.

With the beginning of a new year in sight, I thought it would be fun to share some interesting reads with you. Both those I have read and those I want to read. I will probably keep this as a Friday tradition and I hope some of them would spark your interests!

This week, I would like to present to you the Fairytale Explorer Edition! As you may have guessed from the title, all my recommendations today will revolve around a theme: Fairytale. There are a lot of YA books centered around fairytales: an adventure in the classic fairytale world, an alternative fairytale rewrite in modern time, or maybe a horror fairytale retelling, etc. I am particularly fond of this type of story and have sought out a couple of them that look quite promising.
