Monthly Roundup - January 2018


Well, I certainly started off the year with a bang! Even though I got home from our holiday and went straight back into working and life, I still had enough time to read quite a bit! It was great having my library card reactivated. SO MANY BOOKS! And for FREE! I check out ebooks through Overdrive and they just arrive on my Kindle. Technology is truly amazing.

I read a total of 12 books this month! If I keep up that pace I'll definitely overshoot my goal of 100 books this year.
  1. The Red Pyramid - Rick Riordan (3 stars)
  2. Lola and the Boy Next Door - Stephanie Perkins (3.5 stars)
  3. Retribution Rails - Erin Bowman (4.5 stars)
  4. Mother's Milk - Rachel Hunt Steenblik (4 stars)
  5. The Macedonian - Nicholas Guild (3.5 stars)
  6. The Battle of the Labyrinth - Rick Riordan (4 stars)
  7. Warcross - Marie Liu (4 stars)
  8. The Last Olympian - Rick Riordan (4 stars)
  9. The Lost Hero - Rick Riordan (4 stars)
  10. The Son of Neptune - Rick Riordan (4 stars)
  11. The Mark of Athena - Rick Riordan (4 stars)
  12. The House of Hades - Rick Riordan (4 stars)

Well, there's obviously a theme here! I started the Percy Jackson series at the end of last year, and now I'm reading EVERYTHING by Rick Riordan! I finished the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, now I'm almost done with the Heroes of Olympus series. Then there's a couple others after that! I also started the Egyptian gods one, and finally got the second and third books from the library!

I also finally read Warcross and a review is coming soon! Basically this month was just really good for quality books!

My TBR for February includes a lot of ARCs from NetGalley, plus a couple others I've been waiting to get my hands on for awhile!

What did you read this month?

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

Monthly Roundup: March 2017

Notice something different? I changed the layout of the blog! What do you think? There are a few kinks I'm still trying to work out, like now the sidebar is only visible from the menu button at the top left side of the page, but I'll figure it out ;) This month I read seven books! I'm now actually four books ahead of my goal for the year. I thought that with working, etc., I wouldn't have as much time to read, but I've also learned that you have to make time to read, which I do every night. It wasn't a *great* month for books, in terms of quality. There were a few books I had high expectations for and they didn't quite meet them, though I still enjoyed them! If you need a refresher for what the various star ratings mean, then you can check out the "Ratings Guide" at the top of the blog. Reviews are coming soon! Beyond the Savanna - Maryann Martinsen (2.5 stars) Empress of a Thousand Skies - Rhoda Belleza (3 stars) Norse Gods - Neil
