Hello! I saw this awesome Book Tag in my awesome friend's awesome blog, and decided "Pfffft, what heck! I've got time to kill and 70% laptop battery to burn, not to mention THAT I WAS TAGGED! so why not?" And thus starting my endeavor to write this sweet, albeit delicious, post.
#1 Dark Chocolate: a book that covers a dark topic.
Patrick Ness' The Knife of Never Letting go is one of the darkest series I have ever read that caters YA . It deals with several themes such as death, betrayal, and lies in a macrocosmic quality.
While reading this book, the reader could easily empathize with the main protagonists, Todd, through his endeavors and ordeals.

Plot Synopsis:
Prentisstown isn't like other towns. Everyone can hear everyone else's thoughts in an overwhelming, never-ending stream of Noise.
Just a month away from the birthday that will make him a man, Todd and his dog, Manchee -- whose thoughts Todd can hear too, whether he wants to or not -- stumble upon an area of complete silence. They find that in a town where privacy is impossible, something terrible has been hidden -- a secret so awful that Todd and Manchee must run for their lives.

Okay, I have only read Of Poseidon, by Anna Banks recently, but this is literally the first book that I heard myself exclaim a really audible laugh.
I don't know if I have been living under a rock and not get the inscripted humor of the other books I have read, but this book really made me laugh.
Not to mention that the cover just makes me want to drool.
Plot Synopsis:
Galen is the prince of the Syrena, sent to land to find a girl he's heard can communicate with fish. Emma is on vacation at the beach. When she runs into Galen—literally, ouch!—both teens sense a connection. But it will take several encounters, including a deadly one with a shark, for Galen to be convinced of Emma's gifts. Now, if he can only convince Emma that she holds the key to his kingdom...
Told from both Emma and Galen's points of view, here is a fish-out-of-water story that sparkles with intrigue, humor, and waves of romance.

#3 Milk Chocolate: a book that has a lot of hype that you're dying to read. I have seen a lot of my friends loving and going ballistic about this book, something to with this one being made a movie or a tv-series. Truth be told, after reading The Monstumoloist I have been quite wary of reading a Rick Yancey book, but after seeing this flooding my news feeds everywhere, I am now hyped more than ever to read this.
Plot Synopsis:
After the 1st wave, only darkness remains. After the 2nd, only the lucky escape. And after the 3rd, only the unlucky survive. After the 4th wave, only one rule applies: trust no one.
Now, it’s the dawn of the 5th wave, and on a lonely stretch of highway, Cassie runs from Them. The beings who only look human, who roam the countryside killing anyone they see. Who have scattered Earth’s last survivors. To stay alone is to stay alive, Cassie believes, until she meets Evan Walker. Beguiling and mysterious, Evan Walker may be Cassie’s only hope for rescuing her brother—or even saving herself. But Cassie must choose: between trust and despair, between defiance and surrender, between life and death. To give up or to get up.
#4 Chocolate With a Caramel Center: a book that made you feel all gooey in the middle while you're reading it.
I remember there was this one point in my fanboying life where I just lied on my bed, any suggestion of rational thinking escaping my grasps as all my mind through about were Sam & Grace, Sam & Grace, Sam & Grace. Up until now, I remember almost upturning my table and rolling round and round on my bed, as a side effect of the insane emotions that came with the book.
FEELS!
FEELS!
FEELS!
FEELS!!!!

Plot Synopsis:
For years, Grace has watched the wolves in the woods behind her house. One yellow-eyed wolf—her wolf—is a chilling presence she can't seem to live without.
Meanwhile, Sam has lived two lives: In winter, the frozen woods, the protection of the pack, and the silent company of a fearless girl. In summer, a few precious months of being human… until the cold makes him shift back again.
Now, Grace meets a yellow-eyed boy whose familiarity takes her breath away. It's her wolf. It has to be. But as winter nears, Sam must fight to stay human—or risk losing himself, and Grace, forever.

#7 Hot Chocolate with Cream and Marshmallows: A book that you would turn to for a comfort readShards & Ashes is an anthology written several authors, each one contributing a story in the book. The story I'm specifically talking about is BRANDED by KelLey Armstrong. Branded is basically a love story set in a dystopian future where anyone who's suspected as a paranormal is branded, and is exiled from the city leaving them to fend off for themselves.
Considering the story is really short, I found myself returning again and again back to those 30 pages every time I'm depressed or lonely.
#8 Box of Chocolates: what series have you read that you feel has a wide variety and something for everyone?
DO NOT BE MISLEAD BY THE COVER!!! Sure the first book may not have that beautiful cover compared to the other two, but it is one of the best books I have read this year! This is a definitely a must have for all the book readers out there who are still missing out on the action this book has brought.
May you be a fan of mystery, high fantasy, or just plain old romance, and no matter what your age, readers will find themselves enjoy being lost inside the world of Akiva and Karou so meticulously woven by Laini Taylor what ever your age.
Plot Synopsis:
Around the world, black handprints are appearing on doorways, scorched there by winged strangers who have crept through a slit in the sky.
In a dark and dusty shop, a devil's supply of human teeth grown dangerously low.
And in the tangled lanes of Prague, a young art student is about to be caught up in a brutal otherwordly war.
Meet Karou. She fills her sketchbooks with monsters that may or may not be real; she's prone to disappearing on mysterious "errands"; she speaks many languages--not all of them human; and her bright blue hair actually grows out of her head that color. Who is she? That is the question that haunts her, and she's about to find out.
When one of the strangers--beautiful, haunted Akiva--fixes his fire-colored eyes on her in an alley in Marrakesh, the result is blood and starlight, secrets unveiled, and a star-crossed love whose roots drink deep of a violent past. But will Karou live to regret learning the truth about herself?
