The Forever Song by Julie Kagawa

*WARNING THIS POST CONTAINS SPOILERS* Review: The Forever Song is so good, I could literally read the entire book in one day if I didn’t have homework. It's a captivating, exhilarating, and heart-stopping book that you will have trouble putting down. When Sarren died, I was the happiest person in the world, but Kanin’s death was a different story -- I was devastated but also heartfelt. Zeke and Allie are the best … together. Jackal is still one of my favorites as he jokes around and is annoying, but he stuck around with Allie suggesting he has a soft heart … sometimes, even though he denies it. The ending was very satisfying, but I do wish there was an epilogue or a novella since this series is just so good!  This book was once again filled with twists and turns that I never saw coming. I have to say that after reading this series, I have an entirely different view on vampires, which is a good thing. Overall, I would say this is one of my favorite series. Throughou...

DIY Project: Pokéball Piñata

Hey guys (and gals)! So you know how everyone loves Pokemon, either from playing Pokemon when they were young or from the augmented reality game Pokemon Go? And who can resist all the little Pokemon characters?? (guess what my favorite character is). I've always loved Pokemon, and I've always wanted a pinata at my birthday parties, but they were always too expensive (and I didn't have very many friends). Well, problem solved (except for my lack of friends)! You can make a diy Pokeball pinata with just a few materials for under $5. It's super simple, though it does take some time to make since you have to let the pieces dry overnight. It took me about 5 days to make, but I loved the way it turned out. I actually still have my pinata as decoration in my room since I haven't had a party yet... Also, I know most pinatas are filled with candy, but a really cool idea would be to put a stuffed Pokemon in the pinata. That way, when the pinata breaks open, a Pokemo...

The Eternity Cure by Julie Kagawa

 *WARNING THIS POST CONTAINS SPOILERS* Review: The Eternity Cure is SO GOOD and very well written ! There are twists and turns that I never saw coming. My least favorite characters are Sarren (obviously) and Stick. Stick is just overly annoying, like seriously, just get over it Stick…it’s pathetic. Sarren is the villain in this story and he’s insane. My favorite character is Zeke, since he’s so sweet and brave and protective (the fictional boyfriend, haha), though I also really like Jackal because his personality is so unique and he constantly jokes around, but he's also serious and clever like the trick he played on Sarren and Allie -- making Sarren and Allie believe Jackal was helping Sar ren ( a strategy I thought about while I was reading the book, and when Jackal played the trick, I was like "YES! YES! FINALLY A SMART CHARACTER!"). Overall, I love this book, maybe even more than the first. It made me ride a rollercoaster of emotions, from eagerness to h...

Welcome!

Hello! Welcome to my blog! Here, you'll find a collection of my favorite things to do, including book reviews, baking recipes, and DIY projects. I also post random things that go through my head, such as answers to random questions I have and random thoughts that go through my mind. A bit about myself: My name is Jenny Chau. I love animals, crafting, baking, pilates, and reading! When I have free time, you'll probably find me sticking my nose in a book. I especially like fiction books in the genres of dystopian, adventure, and action. My favorite books are The Darkest Minds series by Alexandra Bracken, the Uglies series by Scott Westerfeld, the Under the Never Sky series by Veronica Rossi, and The Blood of Eden series by Julie Kagawa. I'm quite petite in size and I'm pretty shy. I have the cutest dog ever named Chiko. He's a cream-colored Pomeranian, and he's quite big for his breed, probably because we fed him too much milk when he was little. H...

The Immortal Rules by Julie Kagawa

*WARNING THIS POST CONTAINS SPOILERS* Review: This book is one of my favorites. It’s a combination of The Darkest Minds and Under the Never Sky , but with vampires. After reading the only vampire book I’ve ever read -- Twilight --, I didn’t think I would like another book about vampires. But, The Immortal Rules blew my mind away. From the beginning, I could tell I was going to get hooked. This book was never boring. The chapters are a bit long, but they always leave the reader in suspense, which makes it hard to put the book down. The characters in this book are all amazing. They all have their flaws, and the character development really leaves you loving the characters. If you're like me and you like dystopian, adventure, action, fast-paced, and a dash of romance, I would highly recommend this book (and the entire series) to you. Or, to anyone who likes The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken. Book Summary: The Immortal Rules is about a 17-year-old girl named Allis...
