When I started working more, I started to realize that I didn’t have nearly as much time to read as I use to. But, I love to read and I love to give book reviews, so obviously I knew I needed to do something about it. But, I honestly wasn’t sure what to do about it because I did not have a lot of extra money to buy audiobooks. That’s when I realized that libraries have audiobooks.
…Books
I love books if you couldn't tell by the title of this blog. So, here's my place for all things involving books. Whether it be book reviews, book hauls, general book talks, or just my to-read list. Welcome to the bookish-side, friends!
Book Review: Scarlet by Marissa Meyer
Honestly, the moment I finished Cinder I knew I needed to check out the rest of the series from my library. I was immediately obsessed it has been absolutely amazing. If you haven’t checked out my review of Cinder by Marissa Meyer, please click here. But, anyway, back on track. I just had to read Scarlet and I think that this retelling was done incredibly well.
…Book Review: Children of Virtue and Vengeance by Tomi Adeyemi
Please read this book. Wow, just wow. If you all remember the first book review, I listened to the audiobook version. But, for this, I chose to read the physical book instead. I think that listening to the audiobook first helped my pronounce character names and such, so I really appreciate being introduced to the series in that way. But, let’s get into my review of Children of Virtue and Vengeance by Tomi Adeyemi.
…Book Review: Cinder by Marissa Meyer
I am absolutely obsessed with fairytale retellings. So, it was only a matter of time before I read Cinder! I will be honest though, I didn’t realize that it was part of a series when I started. I kind of thought that they were all separate stories but they were all myths and that was why they were in a series. But, they’re actually all connected so send help because I started another series now.
…Read a New Book Month: Harry Potter
December is officially National Read a New Book Month, and while I’ve been reading plenty of new to me books, I wanted to talk about a couple in particular. Well, I officially started reading the Harry Potter series after wanting to read it for a while. So, I thought I would take some time today to talk about that.
…Book Review: Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi
This book is not your fun and happy adventure. You are probably going to feel distraught more times than you will feel joyful. But, this novel is about more than your casual adventure. It’s about life. It’s about death. And it’s about the world who abandons those that they cannot understand, those who are different.
…Short Books to Finish Your Goodreads Challenge
Can you believe it’s almost the end of December already? Truly, I can’t. This year kind of blew by for me, I graduated from college, I got into an MBA program, and I got my big girl job. I am pretty excited to see what big things I’ll have to report back about next year. But, the end of December also means that we’re ending our Goodreads Challenge! So, I grabbed some books from my bookshelf and combined a list of short books that’ll help you complete your Goodreads Challenge.
…Book Review: A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness
Truly, I read A Discovery of Witches before I ever started this blog. Somehow, I never wrote a book review for it. So I feel like I need to correct that error today.
…Book Review: Storm and Fury by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Some of you have probably noticed that I have been reading Storm and Fury pretty much religiously. If you all don’t know, we read it as part of the Barely Book Club and it was truly so much fun! Fun fact: this was the first book we did for the Barely Book Club and I truly think it was a fantastic start. Without further adieu, let’s get into why I loved this fantastic book.
…Classic Literature TBR
One of the things you might know about me is that I haven’t read most classic books. For some reason, when I was in school we skipped over everything that most high schoolers read. With that in mind, I wanted to start trying to read more classic literature because I kind of feel like I missed out. So, today I made a little list of all the books I want to read so everyone else can add to their list if they’re like me.
