Pandora by Victoria Turnbull
5.0
Ik zag dit boek in de boekenwinkel en werd verliefd op de cover, en toen begon ik het te lezen en werd ik verliefd op het boek.
Ik dacht eerst dat dit over iets als een Pandora's box zou zijn (gegeven de naam), maar in plaats daarvan gaat het over een vos die helemaal alleen op een gebroken planeet woont. Het vertelt ons over haar ongewone relatie met een vogel die zij heeft geholpen toen deze gewond was.
De planeet was echt vol met gebroken spullen, en ik vroeg me meerdere malen af hoe zij daar is gekomen, waarom ze niet ergens anders is heen gegaan, en of er nog andere personen waren op de planeet. Helaas lijkt het erop dat ze de enige is op deze grote planeet.
Ik vond Pandora echt heel lief, en ook geweldig dat ze de spullen op haar planeet probeerde te maken. Ik vraag me wel af waar ze alles laat. :P
Het latere stuk in het boek was echt zo verdrietig en ik moest even een traantje wegpinken. Niet alleen omdat ik het zielig vond voor Pandora toen haar vriendje er niet meer was, maar ook omdat het einde echt prachtig was. Wat daar gebeurde? Wauw. Zo mooi!
De tekeningen zijn prachtig. Ik vond ook de vele details echt mooi gedaan!
Echt een aanrader.

Dollhouse by Anya Allyn
1.0
Well this a book series I won't continue. It was quite boring and very confusing.
I did't like the characters that much, and throughout the story my questions only grew instead of decreased. And then the ending.. *sigh* It seems like it was just intended to be longer, but they decided to do a book 2 instead. :(

Duet met valse noten by Bart Moeyaert
2.0
En wederom een blurb die liegt. Het ongeluk gebeurt pas ongeveer 30 paginas voor het einde. Erg jammer, ik had gedacht dat we eerst een stuk verliefdheid hadden, dan een ongeluk en dan vervolgens hoe ze daar mee om gingen. Nu was het verliefdheid, romantiek, breuk, ruzie, ongeluk en daarna verder (3 maanden) waar er nou niet veel romantiek of liefde te vinden is tot het einde iets heeft. ERGGG jammer, en dus ook -1.5 sterren vanwege een gelogen blurb. Dan nog -1.5 sterren voor het vreemde taalgebruik en vage zinnen en ook een best saai verhaal.
Dus ja, het was nou niet echt mijn boek. Ik keek er naar uit, de blurb klonk echt awesome.

The Great Dream Robbery by Chris Smith, Greg James
5.0
Dreams, tons of imagination, a big heist, and a unicorn who loves show tunes!
I was so so SO excited when I saw a new book appear by these two authors. I loved their Kid Normal series and I was hoping they would get together again to make a new book. And this book was just so so so much fun. I laughed, I snickered, I used my imagination (unlike what the kids say, adults can have imagination), I cheered.
I am a tad tired and still have a few other things to write so I am going to make a list review with all I loved. Normally this list would also contain a not so good part, but I just don’t have any complaints. XD

So wonderful, I really missed Skulduggery, really happy to see there are more of his books. :)
Finding Perfect by Colleen Hoover
5.0
Excuse me, I am a blubbering mess. This book was just perfection.
This was a book that I bought last month for my Kindle and finally I had time to read it. This one continues the story of Daniel and Six, about the adoption that Six had, about the effects afterwards, and more. Really this was just a gorgeous book.
This one continues with Six and Daniel’s relationship and how it is faring at the moment. Not really good, and I was just so sad when I heard their relationship was rocky. It took a sisterly advice for Daniel to FINALLY take action. Dear Lord dude, just talk to your girl, hold her.
Poor Six, she isn’t doing well and I can imagine. I have never had kids nor given them up for adoption, but I can only imagine the pain of giving away your child and never knowing if he has a happy home. Is happy with his new parents. Loves them. I just wanted to hug her. Poor girl. She went through so much.
Yes, I still am not the biggest fan of Daniel, especially with how easily he gives nicknames to people and how they aren’t always very nice ones. But he definitely showed a more mature side to himself because he did something super amazing for Six. He went out to search the adoption parents for her. Because she (and I know he does as well) want to know how it is going with their little ones. He really goes through some hoops to get somewhere and I just found it so sweet.
Yes, due to the shortness of the novella it did feel at times a bit too fast/rushed. I mean most of the book takes place over a few days of time and in that time Daniel is able to achieve so much. Which is just weird given that Six has tried as well and didn’t have any luck.
I wasn’t such a fan of Daniel’s parents, they felt really odd and strange to me. Their reactions were very weird.
But the ending was fantastic and I was just a further blubbering mess. I was so happy for both Six and Daniel, but also for everyone around them. I am so glad that things got solved this way and they had this wonderful chance.
All in all, a fantastic book. Even though its been 7 years since I read the last one and I didn’t remember everything, this book brought everything back. I cried a lot. I loved it all. Recommended.
