Backlist Book Review #1 | Restore Me by Tahereh Mafi

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog! I'm Genni, and today I'll be starting a new series on my blog, the backlist book review! If you're like me, you read quicker than you write reviews. Books are read and never reviewed, and they just get the dreaded "review to come" on goodreads for months on end. In order to curb this habit and clean up my goodreads, I'm going to review a book I've read weeks, sometimes months, before that I never got a chance to review. 

Of course, as time goes on, details fade. So for these reviews, I'm not going to be writing in  paragraph format, as I normally do, but instead answer four questions: What was my rating, what is the book about, what do I remember, and does the rating still stand. 
 
Without further ado, here is my first backlist book review, on Restore Me by Tahereh Mafi.

Waiting on Wednesday #50

Hey everyone and welcome back (or to!) my blog! I'm Genni, and today I'll be participating in Waiting on Wednesday. WoW was hosted by Jill @ Breaking the Spine. Every week we showcase an upcoming release we are excited about. Jill hasn't been posting for quite some time, so Tressa @ Wishful Endings has adopted and renamed WoW to Can't Wait Wednesday.

For this week, I chose Restore Me by Tahereh Mafi, out March 6th, 2018!

Juliette Ferrars thought she'd won. She took over Sector 45, was named the new Supreme Commander, and now has Warner by her side. But she's still the girl with the ability to kill with a single touch—and now she's got the whole world in the palm of her hand. When tragedy hits, who will she become? Will she be able to control the power she wields and use it for good?

Top Ten Tuesday: Book Quotes I ADORE

Hey guys and welcome back to my blog! Today is another Top Ten Tuesday post, hosted by the girls over at Broke and Bookish. Be sure to check them out if you haven't already!

Today's topic features the recent quotes we've found over the years that we love. I decided to keep this to just books, or else the list could go forever! None of these are in any particular order. I couldn't whittle down all of them to just ten, so I have one extra!

11.) "Words, I think, are such unpredictable creatures. No gun, no sword, no army or king will ever be more powerful than a sentence. Swords may cut and kill, but words will stab and stay, burying themselves in our bones to become corpses we carry into the future, all the time digging and failing to rip their skeletons from our flesh." Ignite Me by Tahereh Mafi

10.) "He didn't give me flowers or candy. He gave me the moon and the stars. Infinity." We'll Always Have Summer by Jenny Han

9.) "But just because you bury something, that doesn't mean it stops existing." We'll Always Have Summer by Jenny Han

8.) "I wanted to be his life preserver, the thing that would keep him afloat. Instead, he became my anchor. And I'm tired of drowning." But I Love Him by Amanda Grace

7.) "I want to be someone strong and brave enough to make hard choices. But I want to be fair and loving enough to make the right ones." The Book of Ivy by Amy Engel

6.) "I will show her that loving her is my greatest truth, and the most beautiful thing I have ever known." Of Beast and Beauty by Stacey Jay

5.)  "Sometimes you make choices in life and sometimes choices make you." If I Stay by Gayle Forman

4.) "Envy hurt exponentially more than heartbreak because your soul was torn in two, half soaring with happiness for the other person, half mired in a well of self pity and pain." For Darkness Shows the Stars by Diana Petefreund

3.) "And we are quotation marks, inverted and upside down, clinging to one another at the end of this life sentence. Trapped by lives we did not choose." Ignite Me by Tahereh Mafi

2.) "We can't help who we love. Love isn't logical, or even our choice. Love chooses us." Something Like Fate by Susane Colasanti

1.) "Each piece of glass is another piece of myself I gave to him. It's too bad I didn't give any pieces to myself." But I Love Him by Amanda Grace
