Book Guessing Challenge!


Hello all! I was tagged by the lovely Leah over at The Overflowing Shelf! Thanks sweetie! It will be my honor to guess terribly wrong and embarrass myself (:

So basically what is going on is you pick a book that you have not read and based on the title and book cover you guess what the book is about. Sounds simple enough right? And based on the synopsis provided by Goodreads, I'll see if I was right or way out in left field.

So without further ado, let's get started!


My Guess: Okay. So this takes place in space. There's a girl and maybe she falls in love with a guy who isn't apart of her world (whoa didn't mean to sound so The Little Mermaid right there) and maybe it's forbidden for them to be together. However, after some crazy event occurs they find themselves working together. I really have no idea haha.

Goodreads synopsis: Luxury spaceliner Icarus suddenly plummets from hyperspace into the nearest planet. Lilac LaRoux and Tarver Merendsen survive -- alone. Lilac is the daughter of the richest man in the universe. Tarver comes from nothing, a cynical war hero. Both journey across the eerie deserted terrain for help. Everything changes when they uncover the truth.

My Reaction: Not bad, kinda close? I mean obviously they are from different "worlds" but in this class social class. I am going to give myself half credit for this one. Yay! Okay next!

Add it to your Goodreads shelf!


My Guess: Okay so I am cheating here. I have this because I heard it's a Beauty and the Beast retelling. So I am going to say that a young girl is forced to go live with a guy that she is completely repulsed by. She cannot stand him and wants nothing to do with him. However, as she gets to know him she discovers that there is so much more under the surface. There is probably something going on around her town and she soon uncovers secrets and she must work with the very man she once hated that she is starting to fall in love with. 

Goodreads synopsis: Based on the classic fairy tale Beauty and the Beast, Cruel Beauty is a dazzling love story about our deepest desires and their power to change our destiny.

Since birth, Nyx has been betrothed to the evil ruler of her kingdom-all because of a foolish bargain struck by her father. And since birth, she has been in training to kill him.

With no choice but to fulfill her duty, Nyx resents her family for never trying to save her and hates herself for wanting to escape her fate. Still, on her seventeenth birthday, Nyx abandons everything she's ever known to marry the all-powerful, immortal Ignifex. Her plan? Seduce him, destroy his enchanted castle, and break the nine-hundred-year-old curse he put on her people.

But Ignifex is not at all what Nyx expected. The strangely charming lord beguiles her, and his castle—a shifting maze of magical rooms—enthralls her.

As Nyx searches for a way to free her homeland by uncovering Ignifex's secrets, she finds herself unwillingly drawn to him. Even if she could bring herself to love her sworn enemy, how can she refuse her duty to kill him? With time running out, Nyx must decide what is more important: the future of her kingdom, or the man she was never supposed to love. 

My Reaction: Oh my juice that was long! Hmm good thing I threw in uncovering secrets because my guess was so vague compared to that! Not bad of a guess I guess but sweet mother now I have to read this asap! Doesn't it sound fantastic?! 

Add to your Goodreads shelf! 

My Guess: Okay so I am guessing this is about a guy and girl who are locked in some mental institution and they need to find a way to break out of this "Program" because it is a crooked place. The government is probably holding people there who pose as a threat to society and these two need to work together to break free and change the broken system. 

Goodreads synopsis: In Sloane’s world, true feelings are forbidden, teen suicide is an epidemic, and the only solution is The Program.

Sloane knows better than to cry in front of anyone. With suicide now an international epidemic, one outburst could land her in The Program, the only proven course of treatment. Sloane’s parents have already lost one child; Sloane knows they’ll do anything to keep her alive. She also knows that everyone who’s been through The Program returns as a blank slate. Because their depression is gone—but so are their memories.

Under constant surveillance at home and at school, Sloane puts on a brave face and keeps her feelings buried as deep as she can. The only person Sloane can be herself with is James. He’s promised to keep them both safe and out of treatment, and Sloane knows their love is strong enough to withstand anything. But despite the promises they made to each other, it’s getting harder to hide the truth. They are both growing weaker. Depression is setting in. And The Program is coming for them

My Reaction: ...
Yeah, that is totally what I said... LOL. Whoa that was way better than what I said! This sounds pretty cool. Kind of reminds of Delirium for some reason, I have no idea why. 

Oh well this was fun! If you'd like to do this challenge consider yourself tagged!

Thanks for reading!

Twilight: The Graphic Novel, Vol. 1 by Stephanie Meyer & Young Kim

Title: Twilight: The Graphic Novel, Vol. 1
Author: Stephanie Meyer & Young Kim
Published by: Yen Press
Genre: Young Adult, Paranormal, Graphic Novel, Manga
Pages: 224
Add to Goodreads shelf
Rating: ★★★★✩



Synopsis:

When Isabella Swan moves to the gloomy town of Forks and meets the mysterious, alluring Edward Cullen, her life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn. With his porcelain skin, golden eyes, mesmerizing voice, and supernatural gifts, Edward is both irresistible and impenetrable. Up until now, he has managed to keep his true identity hidden, but Bella is determined to uncover his dark secret...

My Reaction:

I am pleasantly surprised by how much I loved this. The artwork was fantastic! I loved the way the artist captured Bella and Edward. They were simply breathtaking. Bella was less annoying and less stupid (slightly) than she was in the books. Maybe because all her thoughts are only summarized for the sake of the graphic novel, but I found this to be more enjoyable. Granted the story is still creepy and it ends right when things seem to be picking pace, but that's what vol. 2 is for.

Overall, I really liked this. It brought back so many memories of when I first read Twilight years ago and I really liked that. It may be cheesy, but I have to admit it's nice to revisit the story on another medium. Now that I've seen Twilight  on three different mediums now (book, movie, graphic novel) I have to say that the graphic novel is more appealing to me personally. That artwork is just amazing!

{REVIEW} 99 Days by Katie Cotugno

Title: 99 Days
Author: Katie Cotugno
Genre: Young Adult, Contemporary
Rating: ★★ ish

Blurb from Goodreads: 

Day 1: Julia Donnelly eggs my house my first night back in Star Lake, and that’s how I know everyone still remembers everything—how I destroyed my relationship with Patrick the night everything happened with his brother, Gabe. How I wrecked their whole family. Now I’m serving out my summer like a jail sentence: Just ninety-nine days till I can leave for college, and be done.

Day 4: A nasty note on my windshield makes it clear Julia isn’t finished. I’m expecting a fight when someone taps me on the shoulder, but it’s just Gabe, home from college and actually happy to see me. “For what it’s worth, Molly Barlow,” he says, “I’m really glad you’re back.”


Day 12: Gabe got me to come to this party, and I’m actually having fun. I think he’s about to kiss me—and that’s when I see Patrick. My Patrick, who’s supposed to be clear across the country. My Patrick, who’s never going to forgive me.


My Reaction/Thoughts:

Okay this really upsets me. I wanted to love this book. I wanted this to be my new favorite contemp because it was a total cover buy for me. This book is so adorable there was no way the inside wasn't as adorable. Boy was I wrong. I thought this book was going to be about facing your mistakes and owning up to them...not about repeating them! I honestly felt so torn reading the entire book. I was loving it, but hating it at the same time. I admit I was completely addicted to the plot and had to finish it all in a day just so I could find out what happened next, but I can't say I am satisfied with the outcome. I get that it's realistic and all that jazz, but for this novel I just craved a little bit more

I hated how Molly completely broke Patrick. Twice. The second was completely his fault because he was a completely douchenozzle 75% of the time, but I was just so desparately rooting for him to get his crap together! But nope. I honestly thought he was playing some sick game with her. And as for Gabe? Oh my sweet, Gabe, poor baby. He was so sweet and didn't deserve to get his heart stomped on. If you can see from my GR updates, I was so frustrated that she wouldn't just tell Gabe what was going on when it was still innocent.

Patrick was the worst. Let's just let that be clear right now. This guy had me feeling the biggest case of whiplash I've ever felt. I didn't know whether I should love him or hate him. In the end, I was just annoyed. In all Molly's memories Patrick is such a little brat that you have to wonder how she stayed with him for so long. He was so moody and Molly was comfortable with their bubble that I felt like maybe it was a good thing she cheated on him with Gabe just so she got out of that clearly unhealthy relationship. However, I was rooting for them a little. I felt like Patrick and Molly had some unfinished business and maybe they needed this to get their crap together and finally fix what they both broke. But like I said, Patrick gave me whiplash. He was so hot and cold! I mean this is the guy that treated Molly so poorly and was the biggest a-hole all because he "was trying not to lose her" WHAT EVEN?!

Gabe, on the other hand, was a joy. I really don't think he did any wrong. Yes, he shouldn't have made Molly out to just be something he had to win. but his true intentions were there. That was evident from the beginning. I just loved Gabe. He was so patient with Molly and truly a sweetheart. I loved this cutie pie.

This is so difficult for me because I honestly don't know how I should be feeling. I don't hate this book, but I didn't love it at all either.

I really enjoyed the writing though. I found myself really enjoying the way Cotugno wrote scenes or depicted the way Molly was feeling because I knew exactly what she meant. I could feel it too.

I did enjoy how Molly finally stood up for herself! It was long overdue and I am so proud of her. There was no way she deserved all the crap she went through. It is a double standard for girls and it sucks. She isn't the only one that made a mistake and it's completely ridiculous that she would leave town a year ago and only come back to still be a victim of so much torment!

My biggest problem was all the cheating! SO MUCH CHEATING!

I mean Molly is totally screwed up. She spends all her time either thinking about Patrick while she's with Gabe and comparing the two or just thinking back to memories she spent with Patrick. Clearly this girl has no idea what she even wants or feels. I was so confused right along with her. But did we really have to repeat history, but switch the two brothers? I wanted to bang my book against the wall just so the characters would maybe get some sense! They made the dumbest decisions that I can't even remember how many times I rolled my eyes behind its sockets.


I don't know...This book had good writing, good characters regardless of their stupidity but it just kind of feel like we went in a complete circle. We ended where we started. However, a little bit more accepting and wiser on Molly's part, so I suppose that's all that matters.


Is it strange that I actually kind of want a sequel? I want more Gabe!

{REVIEW} Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling

Title: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Author: J.K.Rowling
Series: Harry Potter
Book: 2
Genre: Young Adult, Fantasy, Adventure, Children's Middle Grade
Rating: ★★★★★

Blurb from Goodreads:

The Dursleys were so mean and hideous that summer that all Harry Potter wanted was to get back to the Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. But just as he's packing his bags, Harry receives a warning from a strange, impish creature named Dobby who says that if Harry Potter returns to Hogwarts, disaster will strike.

And strike it does. For in Harry's second year at Hogwarts, fresh torments and horrors arise, including an outrageously stuck-up new professor, Gilderoy Lockheart, a spirit named Moaning Myrtle who haunts the girls' bathroom, and the unwanted attentions of Ron Weasley's younger sister, Ginny.

But each of these seem minor annoyances when the real trouble begins, and someone—or something—starts turning Hogwarts students to stone. Could it be Draco Malfoy, a more poisonous rival than ever? Could it possibly be Hagrid, whose mysterious past is finally told? Or could it be the one everyone at Hogwarts most suspects…Harry Potter himself.

My Reaction/Thoughts:



I read the second Harry Potter book! And I loved every second of it. I love spending my time in Hogwarts with our dynamic trio. I love the magic and the world. It's all so fascinating that I hate myself for not reading these when I was a child. Why didn't I just stick it through? I should have forced myself to read them until I loved them. (Shame on you, Dee!)



“Because that's what Hermione does,' said Ron, shrugging. 'When in doubt, go to the library.”

As always, the writing was fantastic. I could picture everything perfectly and feel as though I were right there. Maybe it helps because I've already seen the movies multiple times so I have that vision in my head...oh well. I loved it. I really like Rowling's voice. She brings this magical world with a touch of humor, as well as inspiring. I think it's a good thing I am reading these as I am older so I could really appreciate them more.

“It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.” 

Harry, Ron, and Hermione continue to be my imaginary best friends. I love their loyalty and protectiveness to each other. I seriously had to smile every time Ron wanted to deck Malfoy for calling Hermione a Mudblood. These three are perfect. I really like the new additions we saw also, i.e. Moaning Myrtle.

“Oh well... I'd just been thinking, if you had died, you'd have been welcome to share my toilet.” 

Can we just take a moment to appreciate Fred and George? These two...ay LOL

“Fred and George, however, found all this very funny. They went out of
their way to march ahead of Harry down the corridors, shouting, "Make way for
the Heir of Slytherin, seriously evil wizard coming through ......

Percy was deeply disapproving of this behavior.

"It is not a laughing matter," he said coldly.

"Oh, get out of the way, Percy," said Fred. "Harry's in a hurry."

"Yeah, he's off to the Chamber of Secrets for a cup of tea with his fanged
servant," said George, chortling.

I could probably quote these two all day, but I'll leave you to just read this series for yourself and appreciate them!

The only problem I had was that the chamber of secrets had such a small appearance. It came and went so quickly! I was already towards the end with three chapters left thinking "when the heck are we going to see this chamber?!"

Overall, I loved this book. I can't wait to finally read the others whenever I can actually get my hands on them! I am loving the journey.

{REVIEW} Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

Title: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
Author: J.K. Rowling
Series: Harry Potter
Book: 1
Genre: Middle Grade, Fantasy, Young Adult Fantasy
Rating: ★★★★★

Blurb from Goodreads:

Harry Potter thinks he is an ordinary boy. He lives with his Uncle Vernon, Aunt Petunia and cousin Dudley, who are mean to him and make him sleep in a cupboard under the stairs. (Dudley, however, has two bedrooms, one to sleep in and one for all his toys and games.) Then Harry starts receiving mysterious letters and his life is changed forever. He is whisked away by a beetle-eyed giant of a man and enrolled at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The reason: Harry Potter is a wizard! The first book in the "Harry Potter" series makes the perfect introduction to the world of Hogwarts.

My Reaction/Thoughts:

I am so proud that I have finally read a Harry Potter book. Yes, this is my first time reading Harry Potter and I am only 18 years late, but never late than never right? Now that I probably have caused you all to have a heart attack I will say that I tried to read Harry Potter when I was a kid. My dad bought me this very book when it was first published and I read a few chapters, but just didn't get into it for whatever reason. I don't know, I was a kid. However, I have seen all the movies and was a huge fan. That was the number one reason why I didn't want to read the books. I had already saw the movies and knew what was going to happen so the suspense would not be present and I though it would take away the enjoyment. But now that I am a better reader and I thought I'd appreciate it a bit more I decided to give it a try. It was time. And I have to say that I LOVED IT! I absolutely loved it! I am so sad that I didn't just give these a try ages ago, but better late than never!

“The truth." Dumbledore sighed. "It is a beautiful and terrible thing, and should therefore be treated with great caution.” 

The writing was fantastic and so memorable. I loved the writing style and was easily drawn into this world. I could envision everything I read with ease and was surprised at how snarky Rowling's writing actually was. She constantly had me laughing from just the tiniest silly sentences and I loved it. I can definitely see why she is everyone's favorite author. She is well deserving.

“It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends.” 

What I loved most about the book was the characters. Every single character brings so much to the story. Harry is only eleven years old and is already a brave, strong character. He is is truly remarkable. Ron is funny, witty and  a great friend to Harry. Hermoine is smart and clever and even Neville is adorable. Even all the professors are such strong characters and I find that really refreshing for a series that has so many characters. You often forget about many people with there is such a huge cast, but Rowling really makes everyone stand out. But, I think I have to say Fred and George are definitely my favorite pair.

“You haven't got a letter on yours," George observed. "I suppose she thinks you don't forget your name. But we're not stupid-we know we're called Gred and Forge.” 

“Now, you two – this year, you behave yourselves. If I get one more owl telling me you've – you've blown up a toilet or –"
"Blown up a toilet? We've never blown up a toilet."

"Great idea though, thanks, Mum.” 

I cannot wait to read more of the series. Although, it may take me a while because I am slowly trying to find the collection in my bargain bookstores so I only have two at the most. *tears*
Never fear! I will read the whole series!

And I can now proudly say...I understand Quidditch!

Now I shall leave you while I go cry that I never received my letter from Hogwarts!

{REVIEW} The Wrath & The Dawn by Renee Ahdieh

Title: The Wrath & The Dawn
Author: Renee Ahdieh
Series: The Wrath & The Dawn
Book: 1
Genre: Young Adult, Fantasy, Retellings,
Rating: ★★★★★

Blurb from Goodreads:

A sumptuous and epically told love story inspired by A Thousand and One Nights

Every dawn brings horror to a different family in a land ruled by a killer. Khalid, the eighteen-year-old Caliph of Khorasan, takes a new bride each night only to have her executed at sunrise. So it is a suspicious surprise when sixteen-year-old Shahrzad volunteers to marry Khalid. But she does so with a clever plan to stay alive and exact revenge on the Caliph for the murder of her best friend and countless other girls. Shazi's wit and will, indeed, get her through to the dawn that no others have seen, but with a catch . . . she’s falling in love with the very boy who killed her dearest friend.


She discovers that the murderous boy-king is not all that he seems and neither are the deaths of so many girls. Shazi is determined to uncover the reason for the murders and to break the cycle once and for all.

My Reaction/Thoughts:

“Some things exist in our lives for but a brief moment. And we must let them go on to light another sky.” 

First of all, THAT ENDING KILLED ME.
Second of all, THIS BOOK KILLED ME.

I am honestly in shock that this a debut novel because of its pure perfection. I have not read a book that I have fall so immensely in love  and I am so glad I read this. This was phenomenal. I am in awe.

First of all, Ahdieh's writing is beyond words. The way she writes is with such ease and it flows like poetry. I was completely captivated by her words and her story. I seriously could not put this book down, nor did I want it to end. I just finished and I can already feel a book hangover coming until I get the sequel into my hands.

“She was a dangerous, dangerous girl. A plague. A Mountain of Adamant who tore the iron from ships, sinking them to their watery graves without a second thought. With a mere smile and a wrinkle of her nose.” 

What I really enjoyed about this book was the retelling of A Thousand  and One Nights. I have never heard of this story before but I was intrigued when I found out this was a retelling so I immediately how to do research before reading this book and I have to tell you, the way Ahdieh incorporates this story with the tale is just fantastic. I absolutely loved it. I was so enthrawed within the stories Shazi told Khalid and every story inside the novel in general. I felt like I was there. I could see everything so clearly and felt everything down to my toes. If that's not amazing writing then I don't know what is. Her world is absolutely gorgeous and captivating. I enjoyed this world and look forward to learn more about Khorasan and the magic within.

“So you would have me throw Shazi to the wolves?”
“Shazi?” Jalal’s grin widened. “Honestly, I pity the wolves.” 

Shahrzad was definitely my favorite character, aside from Khalid obviously, because of her "silve tongue" and strength. She was not afraid to speak her mind and would not bow down to anyone. She is determine to exact revenge on the one who killed her best friend but as her defenses are taken down she sees that Khalid is not all that he appears to be. She loves to deeply and it's what makes this love story between these two so epic

“It’s a fitting punishment for a monster. to want something so much—to hold it in your arms — and know beyond a doubt you will never deserve it.” 

On the other hand, Khalid was the epitome of perfection. I love him. He is ridden by his guilt and he holds the entire kingdom on his shoulders. He is the Caliph of Khorasan and just trying to do what he has to for his people, though with twisted and haunting consequences. He is so guarded and closed off that you just want to give this guy a hug which makes it more refreshing when you see Shazi finally get passed his closed doors. Seriously, this man is beautiful. His heart is beautiful and I just love him to pieces. He just earned himself a spot on my book boyfriend list, if not the book boyfriend. We all know that I have a weakness for royalty so...

“What are you doing to me, you plague of a girl?” he whispered.
“If I’m a plague, then you should keep your distance, unless you plan on being destroyed.” The weapons still in her grasp, she shoved against his chest.
“No.” His hands dropped to her waist. “Destroy me.” 

This book also has some great friendships. I loved Shazi's growing friendship with Despina (who is also a fantastic female character) and Jalal. Jalal also has an interesting relationship with Khalid because they are cousins and it's so sad to see Jalal try to get Khalid to open up to him even though he resists so greatly. I can't wait to see their relationship grow stronger as well.

Overall, this book was amazing. I am already looking forward to reading it again! I think it's definitely my new favorite book of 2015.

{REVIEW} Crystal Kingdom by Amanda Hocking

Title: Crystal Kingdom
Author: Amanda Hocking
Series: The Kanin Chronicles
Book: 3
Genre: Young Adult, Urban Fantasy, Paranormal, Romance
Rating: ★★★★

Blurb from Goodreads:

Cast out by her kingdom and far from home, she's the Kanin people's only hope.

Bryn Aven - unjustly charged with murder and treason - is on the run. The one person who can help is her greatest enemy, the enigmatic Konstantin Black. Konstantin is her only ally against those who have taken over her kingdom and threaten to destroy everything she holds dear. But can she trust him?


As Bryn fights to clear her name, the Kanin rulers’ darkest secrets are coming to light… and now the entire troll world is on the brink of war. Will it tear Bryn from Ridley Dresden, the only guy she’s ever loved? And can she join forces with Finn Holmes and the Trylle kingdom? One thing is certain: an epic battle is underway—and when it’s complete, nothing will ever be the same…

My Reaction/Thoughts:

*sigh* I feel empty inside. Literally empty. Hocking as ripped out my very heart and stomped on it repeatedly. I am devastated. This book really took me for a ride. I had no idea how I should feel while reading it so I was all over the place! It was so good! So good so good!


Bryn. Oh Bryn. My heart goes out to this girl. She is fantastic. I love her so much for learning how to love and really let her defenses down. She's built some really great friendships with so many people and she loves so greatly. In the beginning, she cares so much for people, but she puts herself and her career ambitions first. In Crystal Kingdom, you can really see her understanding what it means to sacrifice and love. She loves greatly. She loves so many people that I really was terrified it was going to be her downfall in this book. All that foreshadowing really had me scared to read. She really grew into this bads$$ warrior! I am so glad that she finally got her dream come true in the end of this book because she definitely deserved it.

Ridley. Poor Ridley. His one and only weakness is Bryn and boy did he pay the price. It was so sad to see him tortured and put through so much pain because of his love for Bryn. He holds his own and wants nothing more than to keep her safe so it was really hard to see him so cold and distant. My heart was breaking for him. In the end, I am happy with his ending as well. I want nothing but happiness for this gorgeous man.

I know I didn't really talk much about Bryn's friends Ember (Finn's sister from the Trylle trilogy) and Tilda or her parents or Kasper because I really don't even know what to say without spoiling too much. But these characters were great. I absolutely adored Tilda and her strength. This woman took out an Omte while pregnant! She really is terrifying if you make her mad, so don't. Ember is a good secondary as well, even though I didn't really connect to her much. I think this series had a lot of good secondary characters and I hate that this is the last I will see them. *tears*

Now guys, if you've read my previous posts you know I am in love with Konstantin. This book made me fall even deeper. I didn't stand a chance. This man pushed me over the ledge and made me fall deeper. I honestly hate that we didn't see him more in Ice Kissed but the fact that he was in pretty much the whole of this book really made my heart happy. I loved him. I really enjoyed his teasing and flirting with Bryn (even though she is oblivious and I could shake her). I loved his subtle confessions of affection and gah I LOVE HIM!!

Team Ridley vs. Team Konstantin. Honestly, I don't really think there is much of a competition because Bryn is head over the hills 100% in love with Ridley (as she should be), but I am sorry but I just loved Konstantin so freaking much! I found myself completely switching teams throughout the entire book! Every scene Bryn was with Ridley, I loved her with Ridley, but then K would come in and then made me go back to him and apologize for ever forgetting him. I honestly don't know which was actually the better choice for her because we don't really see Bryn develop intense feelings for K. However, I definitely saw some affection for him. She was starting to notice how handsome he was and he would continuously leave her whole body blushing. So we may never know what would have happened between them because of spoilers, but I think...nope I am not saying it was for the best because in my heart I am still not over it and I will stomp my foot in protest because of that ending. I am not happy (maybe a little because of everything else, but still not happy!)!!

AGH. I guess everything ended right where things were supposed to and the kingdom showed much promise. I really did like the twists that this book revealed because I was shocked and then immediately felt dumb for not connecting dots sooner, but where is the fun in that?! Overall, this series was great. I loved it! I can't say I loved it more than the Trylle trilogy because Wendy and Loki were definitely fantastic. Loki is bae ♡♡♡♡

Read it? Read it!

Enjoy all my freakout moments and fangirling below (:
