April Round Up and Favourites!

Hey all! For a while now I've been thinking about doing a monthly favourites and round up post and today I've finally decided to do exactly that. However, today's post is more or less a trial run to see whether or not I'll continue doing it. Tell me what you think! Also, since I've been super busy this month, I've only managed to read one book and so there won't be much variation in my favourites, hehe. ;)

Click cover to read review! :)

 

 

Favourite Read of April:
Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare. I know this is the only book I've read this month *sad face* but I'm pretty sure it would still be my favourite even if I had read more! This book was just the perfect conclusion to The Infernal Devices series. Even though I didn't quite love the ending, the trilogy on a whole was FANTASTIC and I can not recommend it enough! :)

Favourite Character:
William Herondale *sigh*. Must I say more? Snarky, gorgeous, reads books, fights demons... Doubt I need to go on! ;) <3

Favourite Side Character:
Cicely Herondale. Another Herondale, eh? You must all think I'm obsessed! But seriously. Cicely was a really admirable character in Clockwork Princess and I just loved her personality. She was brave, stubborn, snarky... quite like her brother actually. That's what made their relationship both amusing and adorable - they were too much alike. :P

Favourite Cover:
I'm going to cheat here and say Requiem by Lauren Oliver. I'm currently reading this book but since I started it in April, I'm going to let myself get away with it. ;) The cover I have is the UK edition, I think - the one with a silhouette of a girl - who I'm strongly suspecting is Lena - looking out over a lake. I just LOVE the blue tones used and, overall, it's just a super captivating cover. It really helps reinforce the underlying theme of freedom which I like too.

Favourite/Most Visited Author Website:
Cassandra Clare's of course. I mean, where else was I meant to go after finishing book three in her Infernal Devices trilogy?! I was on there looking for Will fan art, of course. ;) Just kidding. I'm always on the lookout for extras on her books and news on the City of Bones movie - which looks phenomenal! - so that's one of the websites I usually end up looking through. xD

Favourite Goodreads Group:
Teen Bloggers. I've literally only been a part of this group for a few days but I just love it so much already, I feel like I have to share it! The lovely, amazing, fantabulous Ruby over at Feed Me Books Now! co-hosts the group with three other wonderful bloggers (you can find more about them all here!) and there are just so many fun conversations you can contribute to and talk to other bloggers in! Plus, it's really nice to meet bloggers my own age! :D

So, there you go. April's round up and favourites. What did you think? Obviously I'll be able to put in more 'Favourites' categories next time because I'll have read more than just the one book, aha. ;)

Anywho.

Happy Reading,
Rachel xoxo

PS: If you want, I could also make it a monthly meme where I can post up a Linky at the bottom of the post so people can put a link to their Monthly Round Up and Favourites post? o_O
