Books. Cats. Nonsense.
Everyone was talking about Raybearer in the lead-up to its release, and as with most hyped YA fantasy books I was a little cautious going in. I'm a reader that can really be let down by hype, however I'm here to say that Raybearer is absolutely worth your time and is one of the best books of the year!
Harrow Lake first burst onto my radar when the publishers were sending out the coolest looking proofs (seriously, check it out!) in the winter. I was immediately interested in the book as soon as I read the summary -- I’ve never been much of a horror reader but have been trying to dip my toe into the genre lately. Harrow Lake turned out to be a great stepping stone into horror for me with its creepy, atmospheric setting and things that go bump in the night.
I’ve been struggling with YA fantasy for the past year or so, however I wanted to give it another try while in quarantine. I dusted off my copy of The Descendant of the Crane -- one of my most highly anticipated 2019 releases that I never managed to read (oops), which is coming out in the UK in June. It turned out to be the perfect escapist read filled with gorgeous world-building, fun characters, and more twists and turns than I could have ever anticipated!
Welcome to my stop on the Incendiary blog tour! Incendiary has been on my radar for ages because I loved the idea of a Spanish Inquisition-inspired fantasy novel. Despite my recent ups and downs with YA fantasy, I gave my first Zoraida Cordova book a try, and I ended up really liking it! While I think that a lot more could have gone into the world-building and the characters, it is such a fun and addicting read with a great ending.
Welcome to my stop on the Deck of Omens blog tour! I absolutely devoured (heh heh) Herman’s debut novel The Devouring Gray last year and have been desperately waiting for the sequel. The Deck of Omens is an addicting and thrilling read that introduces strange new aspects to the world of Four Paths, all while giving a satisfying conclusion to the story and characters.
Hello pals! Where January felt like it lasted about 12 years, February absolutely flew past! I had a great month -- including celebrating my one-year wedding anniversary (!!!) and going on holiday -- for books and for life in general! Take a look below to see what my month in books was like.
January is finally over! Seriously though, how did January last about 12 years? I'm really not sure what it is about that month that seems like time has stopped moving, but now we are in February and all is right with the world!
Happy Valentine's day, y'all! As opposed to January, which felt like it was 12 years long, February has been zipping by! I've been busy, busy, busy, but have still managed to get some reading done! Check out my week in books below!
Happy Friday, all! Is it just me or does it feel like January has lasted approximately 12 years? I have no idea why it feels like the longest month, but it is finally at an end! Bring on February!
Check out all the bookish things that have happened in my life this week!
Happy Friday, everyone! I skipped last week's wrap-up (oops), but am back to catch you up on all the bookish things that have happened this week. Thanks to the Off the Grid readathon, I actually managed to finish a bunch of books and I am feeling confident in my ARC reading!
