Revamped Feature | Let’s Talk YA #1

Hello my Bookish Friends. It’s Friday! Yay! What better way to kick off than with a old feature but revamped for 2020. Let’s Talk YA started with my co-host Emily from A Short Book Lover. It’s all about talking books rather than just liking and Retweeting posts. So today I’m kicking it off again and this time it will be about any book we’ve ever loved. It could be an old favourite. A forgotten book and not just UKYA. We are mixing it up. So this will be a weekly feature unless I have something else planned.

So welcome to LET’S TALK YA – Every Friday!

Today’s featured book is actually from a Tweet I did earlier this week. I was watching the film and I absolutely loved it. I read the book in times of when it was all about Twilight and that Dark Romance section in Waterstones. Once again it was a book I loved, but I series I didn’t continue. So today’s post is talking about:

Beautiful Creatures (Caster Chronicles, #1) by Kami Garcia, Margaret Stohl
on December 1, 2009
Genres: Fantasy
Amazon | Book Depository
Goodreads

Lena Duchannes is unlike anyone the small Southern town of Gatlin has ever seen, and she's struggling to conceal her power, and a curse that has haunted her family for generations. But even within the overgrown gardens, murky swamps and crumbling graveyards of the forgotten South, a secret cannot stay hidden forever.
Ethan Wate, who has been counting the months until he can escape from Gatlin, is haunted by dreams of a beautiful girl he has never met. When Lena moves into the town's oldest and most infamous plantation, Ethan is inexplicably drawn to her and determined to uncover the connection between them.
In a town with no surprises, one secret could change everything.

 

 

Beautiful Creatures was one of those books that was first of it’s kind I guess. It really kicked off after Twilight and I loved discovering all these amazing new characters, dark fantasies and magical beings called Casters. Leena has to decide her true fate when it comes to her 16th birthday. The females in her family are destined to be a dark castor like her mum and cousin.

So a lot of this stemmed from watching the film on Tuesday and I only ever read the first book and loved it. I think I had a lot of unfinished series back in those days. I’m really considering on rereading it, but this time actually finishing the series. It’s not so popular anymore which is what I got from my tweet chat. But sometimes is good to visit some old favourites.

So are you like me and it’s been a long time since reading this book? Would you revisit it? If I did a readalog would you like to participate. Thoughts.

So let’s talk… Have you read or watched Beautiful Creatures? What did you think about? Lets shout to the heavens about this book. 

Thanks for stopping by and please let me know if you like our new feature. Your thoughts and comments would be amazingly appreciated. Don’t forget to head over to Emily’s blog for her suggestion…
