Monthly Roundup: February 2017

Well, this month I read a lot of books. I thought working again would slow down my reading, but it doesn't seem that way!

I read some incredible books this month. When Breath Becomes Air was heartbreaking and fantastic and I highly recommend it to everyone (it's not very long). Daring Greatly was this month's Book Club pick and it was amazing in so many ways. And A Conjuring of Light, the third and final installment to the Shades of Magic series, was everything I had hoped for and more. SO MANY FEELS! I finished it a few days ago and I'm still thinking about it. It was perfect.

1) Empire of Storms - Sarah J. Maas (4.5 stars)
2) The Assassin's Blade - Sarah J. Maas (4 stars)
3) Everything, Everything - Nicola Yoon (3.5 stars)
4) Carve The Mark - Veronica Roth (4 stars)
5) Caraval - Stephanie Garber (3 stars)
6) When Breath Becomes Air - Paul Kalanithi (5 stars)
7) After the Crown - K. B. Wagers (4.5 stars)
8) A Gathering of Shadows - V. E. Schwab (reread) (5 stars)
9) A Conjuring of Light - V. E. Schwab (5 stars)
10) Daring Greatly - Brené Brown (4 stars)

I'm back!

I took a rather long hiatus, didn't I? Between work suddenly becoming very busy (I own my own business), a couple deaths in my family, and the holiday season, I haven't had the bandwidth to do much else. I have been reading, and now I'm determined to keep up with my reviews again, especially for some eARCs that I still have. Anyway, look forward to some new posts, an updated Instagram, and more books!

Monthly Roundup - October 2016

Another month come and gone! I finished a total of eight books this month, bringing my total this year up to 80. I have two months to read 20 more books in order to reach my goal of 100 books this year! I think 10 a month is totally plausible ;) 1) Reawakened - Colleen Houck (3.5 stars) 2) Defy - Sara B. Larson (3 stars) 3) The Thousandth Floor - Katharine McGee (3 stars) 4) Like a River Glorious - Rae Carson (4 stars) 5) Fangirl - Rainbow Rowell (5 stars) 6) A Shadow Bright and Burning - Jessica Cluess (5 stars) 7) Replica - Lauren Oliver (3 stars) 8) The Female of the Species - Mindy McGinnis (5 stars) Save Save

Arcanum Unbounded

Arcanum Unbounded - Brandon Sanderson Synopsis A collection of Sanderson's "short" stories and novellas set in his Cosmere universe. Review It's no secret that Brandon Sanderson is one of my favorite authors. His writing is stupendous, his stories are incredible and his plot twists are mind-blowing. Rarely can I figure out exactly where the story is headed, but I am always exceptionally pleased when I get there! Sanderson isn't as known for his "short" stories. Probably because they aren't short. Two of them in this collection clock in around 40k words, which is approaching the line between a novella and a novel. A few of the stories ( The Emperor's Soul, Sixth of the Dusk, Shadows for Silence ) can be read with no knowledge of his other books, and would perhaps be a good introduction to his writing. Those ones you can get individually or are published in other anthologies. I myself had already read a few of the stories, but withi...
