Top 10 favourite YA authors



  • J. K. Rowling: Harry Potter was the beginning. No more saying. 
  • Cassandra Clare: her books are so full of charm and amazing characters. They are so easy to read, and totally unforgetables. 
  • Colleen Hoover: her books are completely poetic and real. They make your heart break and your head spin for days.
  • Shelly Crane: She makes me swoon with her stories, making me want to live inside of them. You can't not sigh after reading the Significance series.
  • Rick Riordan: I love all his characters! He's so wise, full of great ideas for his awesome stories, with lots of background information.
  • Lauren Oliver: her writing is fantastic. She portrays the worlds in her books totally beliavable, and you can't stop from immersing in them.
  • Michelle Hodkin: She writes as if you were the main character. Doesn't give away anything for the readers, and you discover the events as her protagonist. I've never been more lost and hipnotized as in the Mara Dyer series.
  • Jennifer L. Armentrout: She makes the unbeliavable, beliavable. 
  • Suzanne Collins: She killed EVERYONE. That's realistic when it comes to war. 
  • Veronica Roth: Kick-ass main characters. NO love triangle. Love her writing and her unique point of view. 

Hopeless by Colleen Hoover


This book was mindblowing. I had to let it rest for a day when I finished it before writing this review, cause I had too many feelings and thoughts going through my mind.
Colleen Hoover shocks us with an amazing book, leaving us breathless and crying and smiling. She has easily become one of my favourite authors, cause she knows how to WRITE emotion.

Sky's life begins to change when she met in the grocery story the school bad boy, Dean Holder, and for the first time in her life, she feels attracted to a boy. From this sentences, one can induce that it's a typical good girl - bad boy love story, even though she's not totally a good girl, (cause she likes to fool around with guys, sneaking them into her window), and he's not a bad boy at all, just temperamental.
Their relationship is one of the most beautiful I've ever read. They're united in every form and way, heart, soul, body, circumstances, past/ present/ future. They end up as one, with a unique connection.
“I want you to keep them open…because I need you to watch me give you the very last piece of my heart."

But this book is so much more than a love story. It's about heartbreak and desesperation and truth and love. It's about finding yourself, and letting go of your ghosts. It's about guilt and forgivness. It's about freedom and companionship. It's about so many things... full of true emotions. This story is so real, it's heartbreaking.

So, the story officially starts when they met at the grocery story and Holder follows her to her car, asking Sky her name. He saw something in her that completely disturbed him. He NEEDS to know her name. She tells him, and he asks her if she's sure.“Pretty sure I know my own name.” She has no idea she really doesn't.
After that, they began seeing each other and developing feelings, but he's so moody, and intense and unexpected, that for a long time, I thought he was bipolar.
Sky gets past his mood swings and the night that they're finally gonna have sex, everything changes. And she starts to remember.

Something really bad happened to her, but what? Her name is Sky, but was it always? Was she really adopted? Has she met Holder before the first time at the grocery store? Is her adoptive mother who she says she is? 

Those questions and more are what makes Sky's world turn upside down, when the reality of her past truly hits her.
It's so sad and it sure as hell shock me and had me panting and crying. Readers can't forseen how this book's gonna end or the level of intensity in the upcoming events. LOVE all of it.

The only thing I regret about this book is that we don't get and epilogue. I was dying to see Six and Holder's meeting after she returns (and she obviously threatens him, if he messes with her girl), or Sky and Holder going to college, or Karen and Jack living together, with a lot of technological stuff around them. I would also have loved Holder and Sky going to the cementery and visiting Less' grave, and seeing the reaction of Holder's mom, Beth, when she meet Sky again.

I totally recommend this book if you don't mind bawling your eyes out! But I assure you, that this beautiful and amazing story is completely worth it.

Welcome my Minions!

Hi, my name is Berna and I'm a little bookworm. I'm a fan of YA and NA lately. Love all kind of genre such as Fantasy, Paranormal, Romance, and sometimes Sci- Fi. 
My goal is to write reviews about those books that I loved and want people to know about them and reviews about those books that didn't like so much, explaining why, and letting readers know and especulate about them. Just sharing my point of view! Hope you can form your own opinions, I'm just a guide.
