For me, the book that I haven't finished most recently is A Gentleman's guide to Vice and Virtue by Mackenzi Lee. I was reading this book in October/November of 2019, but I had a lot going on at that time. I was working on a show for university, with show rehearsals going from 9am til 6pm atleast, I was also attending interviews for the Disney Cultural Exchange Program, so there was just a lot going on and it was not the right time to read that book. I didn't get too far into it and I am looking forward to being able to pick it up once again!
2) Which book is you guilty pleasure?

I would have to say my guilty pleasure book is A Court of Frost and Starlight by Sarah J Maas. Although it was exciting that the ACOTAR Universe was getting an additional story, not much really happens in this book. I refer to it as the Christmas special of the series - not impacting the cannon story too much but letting you know what happened to the characters after the main book series. Still, I found this to be a very enjoyable read when I first read it and I would probably say it is one of my favourite books in the franchise.
Hate is a very strong word, and I wouldn't necessarily like to say I love to hate a particular story as whether I like the book or not, the author has put serious work into it and many other readers have managed to enjoy something that I couldn't. However, I will say that I am just not a huge fan of the Divergent Series. I feel like the whole system they have in place doesn't work and that there are many flaws and plot holes within the story. If you like it, fair enough, but it is just not my cup of tea!
They Both Die in the End by Adam Silvera. This book as ridiculously sad and I never want to read it again! (In a good way, it is a very good read, but was unexpectedly sad! I recommend it if you need a good cry!)
It would probably be Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins. It is my favourite book in The Hunger Games Series, and I was OBSESSED with this series when I was a teenager. I was thirteen when the first movie came out, and I am one of those people who likes to read the book before watching the film, so I did just that. Eight years later and I still have the three books I originally bought, but there are pages falling out and sellotaped into the book. None of my other books are in this condition, and Catching Fire is the worst condition wise out of the three so that's how I can tell! (Also yes I was one of those people who went back to a series but just read my favourite book don't judge!)
I am going to change this up to which book did I hate receiving as a present and I am going to say Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas. I know that may sound crazy, especially as I have praised this series so much on my blog in the past but hear me out! Usually the people gifting me books are my parents and my mum hates hardback books. I love the hardback editions of the Throne of Glass series and am not so much a fan of the UK paper back editions, but when I got this book for Christmas I got the paperback version. Super grateful for the present, but I just prefer the art on the Hardback version, and it meant I had to get the rest of the series in paperback....although I imagine Kingdom of Ash would be awkward to read as a hardback just because of how big it is!
The Exact Opposite of Okay by Laura Steven. I think that this story is so relevant to girls today and that everyone should read it at some point in their life. Go, read it! It will change you!
The whole book didn't necessarily make me angry. On the contrary, I think that this book is amazing and more people should read it, but I was really angry when reading Simon versus the Homo-sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli. In particular was the scenes where Martin was blackmailing Simon and when Simon's friend discovered what was going on. It was all true to what could happen today with friends and coming out during high school ect, but they still made me mad. (Another great book, go read it!)
I'm not really the type of person that cries when I am reading a book, but I have to say, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K Rowling hit me. I grew up with the Harry Potter movies, and I was really angry with the ending of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. My mum told me the book had a much better ending, so I read through the entire series and when I got to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows I was shook. So many characters I grew up loving killed, characters I shipped not ending up together, and whatever the 19 years later scene is....I will never forget the first time I finished the Harry Potter Book Series.
I have to say I am not the biggest fan of the cover of Catwoman: Soulstealer by Sarah J Maas.
