Monthly Roundup: June 2017

I read a total of 7 books this month! Fairly good, since I was traveling for the main part of June, doing photography and service work in Tanzania! Nevertheless, I still managed to read five books on my trip, in addition to a couple others!

1) Nevernight - Jay Kristoff (4.5 stars)
2) A Penny Lost - Aspen Bassett (2.5 stars)
3) Gemina - Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff (5 stars)
4) Dark Matter - Blake Crouch (4 stars)
5) Grave Mercy - Robin LeFevers (4 stars)
6) Dark Triumph - Robin LeFevers (4 stars)
7) Mortal Heart - Robin LeFevers (4 stars)

As you can see, I read the entire His Fair Assassin trilogy by Robin LeFevers during my trip. It was such a good series! I really enjoyed it and would highly recommend it. I finally read Nevernight and it was amazing. I'm looking forward to the sequel! And Gemina was the sequel to Illuminae, which I read last month, and was just as amazing as the first. Can't wait for the third and final installment, Obsidio!

I'm currently reading Roar by Cora Cormack, which came in my June FairyLoot box, along with other fun goodies! Check out my Instagram, @booksviaashley, for photos!

For July, I'm going to focus on reading books I already have on my Kindle (Hint: there are a LOT). My library card in the US stopped working so I have to find a way to fix that... But this is good because I really do have so many books on my Kindle I want/need to read, but I always put the library books first since they have a time limit.

What have you read this month? What are you looking forward to in July?

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...
