Ana: Great books to give or to read these holidays!

Hello fellow booklions

The holidays are almost upon us so here are a two book recommendations you could gift a friend who loves to read or yourself because there is no better moment to treat yourself. I chose two very different books but I hope you’ll enjoy both of them!

The first book I picked, is Angelfall by Susan Ee, which is the first book in the Penryn and the End of Days trilogy. It tells the story of Penryn, her younger sister and their (crazy) mother. Angels have descended from heaven to demolish the world and wreak havoc, while Penryn and her family are just trying to survive. One uneventful night Penryn’s sister is captured and Raffe’s wings are torn off. Penryn decides to rescue this enemy angel and they make a deal to rescue her sister and get Raffe’s wings attached to his body again.

Susan Ee is an incredible writer that sketches the world around you as you make your way through the story and creates a story so epic and action-packed you will not be able to put it down. All the characters are very unique and you get to experience this angel apocalypse which turns out to be very different than you’d expect. Angels can be bad guys too! I would recommend getting the whole trilogy in one go so you can binge read it while you have some time off this holiday. I hope you enjoy it just as much as I did!

The second book I have in store for you is Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins. This story is about a girl called Anna (how coincidental) that is sent to school in Paris. We all know Paris as the city of love and she indeed falls in love with a French guy named Étienne. This story is not what you expect and will take you on a roller-coaster of emotions during the year Anna stays in Paris. The book is very sweet and romantic and one of my favourite romantic books to read. Don’t judge the book too fast by it’s cover and title and give it a go if you need a 'pick me up' from all the cold outside. I hope you enjoy this book! 

Until next time.
