REVIEW: Wink Poppy Midnight By April Genevieve Tucholke {4 Stars}


Review: Wink Poppy Midnight By April Genevieve Tucholke


Series: Stand Alone
Published By:  Dial Books
Genres: Young Adult, Mystery, Contemporary, Thriller
Format: Hardcover
Pages:  247 pages
Release Date: March 22, 2016
RATING:   4 out of 5 STARS
Check this book out on Goodreads!
Synopsis from Goodreads:
Every story needs a hero.
Every story needs a villain.
Every story needs a secret.

Wink is the odd, mysterious neighbor girl, wild red hair and freckles. Poppy is the blond bully and the beautiful, manipulative high school queen bee. Midnight is the sweet, uncertain boy caught between them. Wink. Poppy. Midnight. Two girls. One boy. Three voices that burst onto the page in short, sharp, bewitching chapters, and spiral swiftly and inexorably toward something terrible or tricky or tremendous.

What really happened?
Someone knows.
Someone is lying.



Every story needs a hero. Every story needs a villain. Every story needs a secret.

This story follows three characters, Wink, Poppy, and Midnight.  In this book, not everything is as it seems and it's keeps you guessing a bit on who is not who they say they are and whose lying. It seems that people have pretty mixed feelings towards this book. I have seen people who either really love it or people who really dislike it. It seems like there is no in between. When I first started it I didn't understand why anybody would dislike it, it was gold! But, then I got mid-way through the book and I was like, "Oh, that's why." The beginning was going good, I loved it! Halfway it took a sharp, weird turn, that I didn't really like, and the characters turned out not to be as they portray themselves (which I knew that was going to happen but I didn't expect in the way it happened). This is the point that really just began to lose my interest and got me confused about a certain characters change in character. But, by the time that everything unfolded in the end and explained why certain things happened; I realized that it was pretty freaking awesome!

In the beginning, one character really stood out to me, and that was Wink.  I was seriously admiring Wink. I loved the way she didn't let other people and their hateful words towards her affect her in any way. She just shrugged it off like it was nothing. She was pretty freaking awesome! ;D Here is one quote from her that I loved,

"'So everyone saw my unicorn underwear, Midnight. So what. Repeat after me. So everyone saw Wink's unicorn underwear who cares.' ...
'In a hundred years, who will care about my unicorn underwear? Who cares right now? There are bigger things to think about.'
'Bigger things like what?
'Battles and wars. Lost causes and lost loved. Unsolved mysteries and magical ring and Here Be Dragons. Fairy Paths..." ~Wink Poppy Midnight page 62



Even though, things happened in this book that I wasn't the biggest fan of, overall, this book was amazing. It felt realistic, the characters, the plot, everything. The author portrayed everything amazingly! I am definitely looking forward to reading more of her books in the future! ;D


Thanks so much for reading!!

Top Ten Tuesday #13 {Top 5 Bookwork Delights!}

Top Ten Tuesday #13
This weekly meme is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.
Hello, everybody! I hope you all have had a great week so far! It's Tuesday so, that means that it's time for another Top Ten Tuesday! This week is all about Top Ten Bookworm Delights! I have 5 Bookwork Delights that I could think of that I'm pretty sure most can relate to. Let's dive right in! Here is...


Top 5 Bookwork Delights!

1. Having a hardcover book having a pretty freaking awesome cover under it's dust jacket.
I'm not a hundred percent sure this is what you call it. The best one I have ever seen was the cover of  The Shadowhunter Codex By Cassandra Clare. Here is a picture! It's stunning...

2. There is nothing better than sitting down and reading on a rainy day!
When it's rainy outside, it feels like a perfect time to sit down and read a good book. I don't know why, it just does...

3. The feeling you get when you finish a really great book.

4. The feeling you get it when you read a entire book in one sitting!
I rarely can just sit down and just finish a book in one sitting. When I do though, it's a pretty freaking awesome feeling. ;3

5. Bookshelves! I love having a bookshelf full of some of my favorite books. ;D


That's it for this Top Ten Tuesday! What are some of your Bookworm Delights? Tell me down in the comments! ;D Share with me your Top Ten Tuesday's!

Bookish Craft of the Month {HARRY POTTER 9 3/4 HOGWARTS EXPRESS SIGN}

Bookish Craft of the Month {HARRY POTTER 9 3/4 HOGWARTS EXPRESS SIGN}

Hello, everybody!!! There has been a little change on Bookish Crafts. I had originally planned to do this every Friday (Bookish Crafts Fridays). But, it was getting to difficult to put a new craft up every week especially since I had school and other things to do. So I decided to switch it to a monthly thing I do! Hope you enjoy!

I decided for the month of April to do the Harry Potter 9 3/4 Hogwarts Express Sign. Around a month ago, I finally finished the last couple books in the series and I freaking loved it! I already want to reread the series and dive back into the wizarding world.
Here are the Materials that I used:
~ Gold Glitter
~ 1 White Canvas
~Paint Brushes
~Pencil
~Bowl
~Black, White, and Yellow Paint

STEP 1: Take out your canvas and your bowl. Place the bowl in the middle of your canvas to make a perfect circle!

STEP 2: There is multiple ways you can do this but I decided to just draw them myself on the canvas. You can use stencils, etc. I drew the outline of the 9 3/4's part.

STEP 3: Next, I went ahead and painted the insides of the 9 3/4 with black paint.
STEP 4: Totally optional. I'm not the best painter and I went over the lines a bit so, I cleaned up the edges with white paint.

STEP 5: This can also be optional. I then wrote out the letters, "Hogwarts Express" near the bottom. You can use stencils.

STEP 6: When I was sending these photos to my laptop, I somehow managed to not send all of them. By the time I figured out that I didn't have all of them, I had already deleted them from my phone. *face palm* But this is when I painted in the letters with yellow paint.

STEP 7: I didn't have red paint, so I used black instead. Paint the what is left of the background.
STEP 8: Totally optional also! I wanted to make it seem more magical so I put gold glitter all over it.  The pictures I took don't show it well, but in person it's pretty freaking awesome... just saying. ;D

DONE!!!
Here are the final results!
 

That's it for this Bookish Craft of the Month, If you have any questions tell me down in the comments below! Any suggestions on what I should make next? Anything Harry Potter related craft you want me to try next? Please tell me down in the comments!!

Thanks for reading!

Waiting on Wednesday #13

Hello, everyone!! It's Wednesday and that means its time for *drum roll* Waiting on Wednesday!!
        Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event that is hosted by Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we are eagerly anticipating! ;)
         This weeks most anticipated read is Never Ever By Sara Saedi.
RELEASE DATE: June 21, 2016


27065539 Synopsis (from Goodreads)                                                       Wylie Dalton didn’t believe in fairy tales or love at first sight.
Then she met a real-life Peter Pan.
When Wylie encounters Phinn—confident, mature, and devastatingly handsome—at a party the night before her brother goes to juvie, she can’t believe how fast she falls for him. And that’s before he shows her how to fly.

Soon Wylie and her brothers find themselves whisked away to a mysterious tropical island off the coast of New York City where nobody ages beyond seventeen and life is a constant party. Wylie’s in heaven: now her brother won’t go to jail and she can escape her over-scheduled life with all its woes and responsibilities—permanently.

But the deeper Wylie falls for Phinn, the more she begins to discover has been kept from her and her brothers. Somebody on the island has been lying to her, but the truth can’t stay hidden forever.


Lately I have been on the hunt down for Peter Pan retellings. I'm really looking forward to this one. ;D
