Three Dark Crowns book review

hey you gorgeous people!! ive been cooped up in our little apartment for about 48 hours now because there's no school anymore but im in kampar. i got here sunday night after a noodle dinner and when we reached we immediately drive to mcdonals for ice cream, specifically the Reeses peanut butter mc flurry. it was amazing! i actually used to love peanut butter so much that whenever my dad made sandwiches for school(which was everyday), i'd want a chunky peanut butter filling and i was the happiest person alive. also i used to love this Japanese pancakes called Dorayaki and they always have a filling in the middle and i always got one of 2 flavours, chocolate or peanut butter. the best ting about buying it is you may have a chance to see the machine at the stall run when they make a fresh batch and it is so cool to see batter coming out like the bullet through the barrel.

yesterday i woke at 9.30, worked till 11.30 because i wanted to make lunch. i made pasta which was super good but i poached egg didnt work out so i will try again later. today i woke at almost 10 and i had cookies with hot cocoa. i was supposed to make mash potatoes for lunch but i dont think so now because the fridge is void of butter!! i tried searching for recipes that dont require butter and all the substitutes are things that i dont have either like puree cauliflower or sour cream. i might try it with just oil though.

okay so the book i bough during the weekend was Three Dark Crowns by Kendare Blake. I LOVE IT!! it's the hybrid book-child of Hunger Games and every Rick Riordan stunt ever. the story's about 3 queens, each part of a triplet, and they are the latest generation to follow their culture of each queen having either a power of a naturalist, elementalist  and poisoner. a few months after turning 16, they have to battle, get married and the strongest queen will have to kill her sisters in order to live because there can only be one queen.
the elementalist queen is the strongest, able to summon thunder while her sisters live thinking they have no powers as the naturalist cant bloom a bud and the poisoner can barely eat mushrooms. thing is, the strong queen doesnt want to kill so the priestess say, 'we'll have to kill the 2 queens ourself'. that doesnt go as plan and in the end, the naturalist queen ate some tainted chocolate but didnt die and she finds out that she's actually the poisoner sister.
now, my ma was a bit skeptical about allowing me to buy the book because of the title and the fact that i get scared easily but there's nothing gory about it. if you can get through HArry Potter without pissing your pants, youre good to go. it's really exciting really, all the anticipation for the battle scene in the book. i flew by the pages in 2 days. the talk of magic is really cool, kinda spooky but it's all under good light and i tell you, Black's brilliant for cooking this story up.
i really want the bookworm in you to go to the mall and pick a copy for yourself. you might like it?

i need to try poaching my egg now! wish me luck. love my lovelies
