Nox the Reader

Hi everyone! Welcome to Nox Reads, I'm "Nox", and today's post is an  original  book tag inspired by  Kingdom Cold  by Brittni Chenelle! I've been lucky enough to be a part of the Kingdom Cold Blog Tour ( #kingdomcoldtour  on Twitter)! There are going to be numerous creative feature posts that I can't wait to see. Shealea from Shut Up Shealea  posted the launch post , which has links to each blogger participating. For my creative feature, I've created an original book tag, and at the end of the post I will be linking a playlist inspired by  Kingdom Cold ! I kept all of the references in this to the first chapter or the synopsis in order to avoid spoilers, so don't worry if you haven't read this yet, everything is reserved to chapter one. Let's begin! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. "Dying wasn't my intention." - Ominous/Memorable F...

Hello everyone! Welcome to Nox Reads, I'm "Nox", and I'm so glad that I've been able to read  Enlightenment  by Reno Ursal for the  #EnlightenmentBlogTour ! For more information on the tour and book, check out  Your Tita Kate's launch post here . Personally, I'm rating  Enlightenment  as a  GIVE ME ALL THE MERCH! TRIGGER WARNINGS: Cancer, Violence, Descriptions of Blood and Other Serious Injuries REPRESENTATION: Filipino Culture, Filipino-American characters   Enlightenment  is the story of Dorothy, a Filipino-American high school girl preparing for the end of her senior year. Dorothy thinks that her life is normal, with the exception of having a mother who is dying from liver cancer. Everything seems normal until Dorothy has a weird encounter at a club, and then a new boy, Adrian, shows up at her school. The opening scene definitely gives off  City of Bones  vibes, when Clary and Simon go to Pandemonium, but instead, it's...

Hi everyone! Welcome to Nox Reads, I'm "Nox", and while I personally believe that I am the  ultimate Hufflepuff , this week's prompt for Top 5 Wednesday is to describe characters that embody my house. So to make sure that the characters I list are accurate representations of Hufflepuff, I want to make it clear which traits I am looking for. Hufflepuffs are known for their loyalty, fairness, and hard work. Some of these may be exemplary examples of two traits but not the other, but I'm still counting them. With that in mind, let's begin! 1. Noah from  The Raven Boys "Wow, Nox is mentioning the Raven Cycle series again. What a surprise!"  - No one ever Yes, at this point the blog has officially turned into a Raven Cycle Stan AccountTM. We know this, and we accept this, okay? The point is that  Noah is such a Hufflepuff!  My precious boy is loyal to a fault. Searching for a dead Welsh king is most definitely considered hard work, and I'd say...

Hi everyone! Welcome to Nox Reads, I'm "Nox", and this is the first of a new series on my blog called  Sort of Sorted ! I'd like to dedicate this post to Sammy from Nik Nak for giving me the inspiration. Sort of Sorted is going to be a series of posts where I argue why a fictional character would be in a certain house. Most of these are going to be different than what the general consensus is, such as this one, where I'm arguing that Kaz Brekker would totally be a  Hufflepuff . ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Liiiiiiisten, let me explain.  I know that on the surface, it seems that Kaz is the epitome of Slytherin. Deep down though, Kaz really is a Hufflepuff. He is incredibly loyal (to certain people) and hard-working. Kaz spent years working on how he would end Pekka Rollins. He started off as an errand boy and worked his way up to be Per Haskell's right-hand man. K...

Hey look, it's Nox coming back to you with another TBR she won't finish. Hi everyone, welcome to Nox Reads, I'm "Nox", and today I'm shaming the Internet for not telling me that there is going to be a  month-long readathon based on one of my favorite musicals. Foxes and Fairytales is just killing it with the readathons. She hosted #Mythothon back in November (which I meant to participate in but completely failed at...whoops?)  This is the link to her original post about #Hamilthon. Alexander Hamilton - Read a Book With A Name in the Title I've never actually read  Jane Eyre , but I saw the movie in AP English and it was pretty good (I know, I know), so I'm excited about this retelling! I think what I'm most excited for is to see Charlotte Bronte as a character! I love that they made her a part of her own story. Also, having Jane as a medium is interesting, and I wonder it'll drive the story. The Reynolds Pamphlet - Read Somethi...
