It’s another Top 5 Wednesday! This week is reading resolutions, so I’ve come up with five reading goals that I would like to achieve this year. I feel like they are all doable and so hopefully I will actually be able to accomplish them all.
Read 100 books
I’ve set this as my goal every year since 2015, and I’ve achieved in 3 out of 4 times. I have high hopes that I will be able to do it again in 2019!
2. Read 40,000 pages
I usually read about 35,000 pages a year, and so in 2019 I want to challenge myself and try reach 40,000 pages. If you’re interested in my page tracking you can find it here.
3. Read at least 2 ARC’s a month
I’ve recently got into requesting ARC’s from NetGalley and in order to keep up with them I’m setting myself the goal of reading at least two of them a month. As a side note, I also want to try and finish all of the ARC’s that I have on my shelf before requesting new ones.
4. Start reading non-fiction
Reading non-fiction has never really appealed to me, but the past few months I have discovered a few that I would really like to read – mainly ones focused on giving writing advice – but I haven’t managed to get around to it yet. So one thing that I would like to accomplish in 2019 is to start reading non-fiction, and maybe even try and tackle one piece of non-fiction a month.
5. Read more books that I own
I have a large amount of books on my shelf/kindle that I’ve owned for ages and yet haven’t read yet. Therefore, this year I want to try and reduce the amount that I buy new books, and instead focus on the ones that are just sitting on my shelf!
So those are my top five reading resolutions for the year! I’m also planning on writing a more general 2019 goals post at some point so keep your eyes peeled for that one.
In the meantime, let me know in the comments below what your reading goals are for 2019!

Title: Enchantée Author: Gita Trelease Release Date: 5 February 2019 Goodreads:link here Rating: ★★★★
Paris in 1789 is a labyrinth of twisted streets, filled with beggars, thieves, revolutionaries—and magicians…
When smallpox kills her parents, Camille Durbonne must find a way to provide for her frail, naive sister while managing her volatile brother. Relying on petty magic—la magie ordinaire—Camille painstakingly transforms scraps of metal into money to buy the food and medicine they need. But when the coins won’t hold their shape and her brother disappears with the family’s savings, Camille must pursue a richer, more dangerous mark: the glittering court of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette.
With dark magic forbidden by her mother, Camille transforms herself into the ‘Baroness de la Fontaine’ and is swept up into life at the Palace of Versailles, where aristocrats both fear and hunger for la magie. There, she gambles at cards, desperate to have enough to keep herself and her sister safe. Yet the longer she stays at court, the more difficult it becomes to reconcile her resentment of the nobles with the enchantments of Versailles. And when she returns to Paris, Camille meets a handsome young balloonist—who dares her to hope that love and liberty may both be possible.
But la magie has its costs. And when Camille loses control of her secrets, the game she’s playing turns deadly. Then revolution erupts, and she must choose—love or loyalty, democracy or aristocracy, freedom or magic—before Paris burns…
4 enchanting stars!
Camille Durbonne is a victim of circumstance – living in poverty, her parents died from smallpox a few months before, and her brother is a drunk and a gambler, leaving Camille to look after her younger sister, Sophie. With money running low she decides to work la magie – a magic that is fuelled by sorrow and pain – to glamour herself and sneak into the Palace of Versailles. Here, she cheats at cards in order to provide for her and her sister, so that they can make a life away from their brother. But with the la magie taking its toll, how long can Camille keep up the act?
Eighteenth century Paris, magic, balloons, rags to riches – what is there not to love about this book? The world that was created within the pages of the novel was definitely enchanting. Although a little slow at times, the plot kept me captivated, and I had trouble putting the book down.
Remember – magic is a cheater’s game, and everyone who sees it wants to play.
One of my favourite parts of the book was the magic system, and the idea that magic was rife in Paris, and even helped to create the Palace of Versailles. I would love to see more of this world in Trelease’s future books.
Camille is the main character of the book, and you can’t help but root for her as she tries to transform her and her sisters lives, even as she tires herself out using la magie and you know that she needs to stop.
There is also a brilliant ensemble of side characters, ranging from Camille’s friends at the Palace of Versailles, to a group of boys that she meets by chance and gets roped into their ballooning adventures. I really loved all of side characters, as they all had really big personality’s and none of them felt unnecessary to the story.
The only reason that this book doesn’t get five stars is because it was a little slow at times, but I still really enjoyed it nonetheless, and I look forward to reading more of Trelease’s works in the future. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys young adult fantasy, or historical fantasy works.

Title: Happy Ever… After Author: Seb Earl Released: 22 November 2018 Goodreads:link here Rating: ★
When Emily wakes up in the middle of her bed, shaking and sweating from yet another nightmare, she knows it will not stop easily. The sexual assault she suffered eight years ago has left an enduring mark on her mind. In the immediate aftermath, she moved back to live with her parents and, since then, they have happily provided sanctuary. But at what price? Emily is not free, and her inner doubt and anger are increasing their stronghold over her life. Thrust into action by her best friend, Sarah, Emily finally finds the courage to move out and start a new life on her own. She soon meets Olivier, a charming French man. As she realises how her future happiness depends on her ability to face the past, Emily begins the slow, and at times painful, journey to finding inner peace. But can she truly put her ordeal behind her? And is everything exactly as it appears?
I loved the premise of this book – the idea that eight years after a scarring event a young woman finally starts to find ways to heal sounded like a beautiful idea. Unfortunately I had a lot of issues with this book.
My main problem was the writing style of the book. I found the writing too choppy, and it didn’t flow very well. Furthermore, for me, this book broke the number one golden rule of writing – show don’t tell. For example, take a look at the following passage:
He bent over and discovered a coat at his feet. He picked it up and returned it to its rightful owner, who apologised flatly and promised to be more careful and not to disturb him again. He assured her that there was no problem and wished that she enjoy the film. The lights went off. He sat back comfortably in his seat and took Emily’s hand in his. The film was about to start.
Here, the author simply tells the reader about the conversation between the two, instead of showcasing it. Although doing this once or twice throughout a book would be passable, this occurs many times throughout the book, where we are simply described the conversation instead of being able to witness it.
My second main issue with this book was the main character, Emily. To me, she was an extremely unlikable character. She came across as very whiny, as she always managed to find some problem with every little thing. Furthermore, she blamed her anger issues on her sexual assault, but I found her constant outbursts to be very rude and annoying, and I don’t think her sexual abuse is an acceptable excuse for how she acts sometimes. This makes it very difficult for me to feel for her during her struggles.
Her blood was boiling. If he had been in the room right now, she would have slapped him.
For example, this is how she reacts when her boyfriend sends her several text messages over the course of a few hours, worried because she isn’t replying. To me, I feel like her response is quite unjustified.
Another thing that bothered me about Emily was her views towards marriage. It’s perfectly reasonable for her to not want to get married herself, but throughout the book she makes constant references to the idea that women become men’s property as soon as they get married, which is a very backward idea to have in this age.
The image of her mother popped up. She would be so proud if Emily were getting married. But proud of what? What was there to be so satisfied with when a woman signed her life away, becoming a man’s asset?
Why must we all get married? What does a woman gain from becoming a man’s property? If my cousin has no ambition other than to cook her husband’s dinner every evening, fine, that’s her choice. Why must I be the same? It’s their goal, all of them, to marry me off as soon as possible. ‘Emily, why are you still single?’ ‘Emily, you must be so lonely.’ No! I am fine as I am, leave me alone. I don’t need some guy to dictate my life, to tell me what to wear, what to think.
Also, despite all of these references that she makes towards not needing a man, she seems to have no qualms about jumping into a relationship with Olivier towards the beginning of the book.
The issue of Emily’s sexual assault is also not as prominent in the book as I thought it would. The whole point of the story is to show her recovering and healing from the incident, but apart from her angry outbursts, the incident doesn’t seem to hold her back in anyway with Olivier which is what I would have expected after experiencing such a heartbreaking event. Furthermore, her and Olivier never even discuss the issue of the sexual assault, which I found a little bit odd. Despite this, Emily still credits Olivier for playing a part in her healing process.
He had been an important catalyst – without him, she might not have been able to renew herself.
However, despite the issues that I had with this book there were still a few parts that I did enjoy.
There is a side plot that involves Emily’s neighbour and her grumpy son which I particularly enjoyed reading. Additionally, I did really like the conclusion of this book. Everything was all tied up, and I felt like it was a satisfying end to the book.
She had evolved, from a little caterpillar to a butterfly, but the world around her had remained the same. At that moment, she felt more confident than ever before.
I wish I could have enjoyed the other aspects of the novel as well, but unfortunately on the whole this book just didn’t do it for me.

Welcome to another Top 5 Wednesday! This weeks topic is books that you didn’t get to in 2018. At the beginning of every year I come up with a ‘bucket list’ of all the books that I want to read that year. You can find my bucket list for 2018 here on Goodreads. Looking over it, there are a few books that I didn’t quite manage to get to this year – maybe my 2019 bucket list will go a little better!
Swear on This Life by Renee Carlino | Released 9 August 2016 | GR
When a bestselling debut novel from mysterious author J.Colby becomes the literary event of the year, Emiline reads it reluctantly. As an adjunct writing instructor at UC San Diego with her own stalled literary career and a bumpy long-term relationship, Emiline isn’t thrilled to celebrate the accomplishments of a young and gifted writer.
Yet from the very first page, Emiline is entranced by the story of Emerson and Jackson, two childhood best friends who fall in love and dream of a better life beyond the long dirt road that winds through their impoverished town in rural Ohio.
That’s because the novel is patterned on Emiline’s own dark and desperate childhood, which means that “J. Colby” must be Jase: the best friend and first love she hasn’t seen in over a decade. Far from being flattered that he wrote the novel from her perspective, Emiline is furious that he co-opted her painful past and took some dramatic creative liberties with the ending.
The only way she can put her mind at ease is to find and confront “J. Colby,” but is she prepared to learn the truth behind the fiction?
This book has been on my TBR for over two years now and despite really wanting to read it I still haven’t managed to get around to it. I’ve read and enjoyed another novel – ‘Before We Were Strangers’ – by this author, and so I’m eager to finally read this one.
2. The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah | Released 3 February 2015 | GR
In love we find out who we want to be. In war we find out who we are.
France, 1939 In the quiet village of Carriveau, Vianne Mauriac says goodbye to her husband, Antoine, as he heads for the Front. She doesn’t believe that the Nazis will invade France…but invade they do, in droves of marching soldiers, in caravans of trucks and tanks, in planes that fill the skies and drop bombs upon the innocent. When France is overrun, Vianne is forced to take an enemy into her house, and suddenly her every move is watched; her life and her child’s life is at constant risk. Without food or money or hope, as danger escalates around her, she must make one terrible choice after another.
Vianne’s sister, Isabelle, is a rebellious eighteen-year-old girl, searching for purpose with all the reckless passion of youth. While thousands of Parisians march into the unknown terrors of war, she meets the compelling and mysterious Gäetan, a partisan who believes the French can fight the Nazis from within France, and she falls in love as only the young can…completely. When he betrays her, Isabelle races headlong into danger and joins the Resistance, never looking back or giving a thought to the real–and deadly–consequences.
Kristin Hannah’s books all have amazingly high ratings on Goodreads, and I have had a few of them on my TBR for a couple of years ago. I had planned on finally picking one up this year and seeing what all of the hype was about but unfortunately I didn’t quite manage to get around to it.
3. I Am the Messenger by Markus Zusak | Released 10 January 2002 | GR
protect the diamonds survive the clubs dig deep through the spades feel the hearts
Ed Kennedy is an underage cabdriver without much of a future. He’s pathetic at playing cards, hopelessly in love with his best friend, Audrey, and utterly devoted to his coffee-drinking dog, the Doorman. His life is one of peaceful routine and incompetence until he inadvertently stops a bank robbery.
That’s when the first ace arrives in the mail.
That’s when Ed becomes the messenger.
Chosen to care, he makes his way through town helping and hurting (when necessary) until only one question remains: Who’s behind Ed’s mission?
Markus Zusak is the author of ‘The Book Thief’, which I read a few years ago and absolutely loved. ‘I Am the Messenger’ doesn’t sound similar in any way, but from the summary it sounds like it would be a very interesting read and it has been on my TBR for a while now.
4. Rock Chick by Kristen Ashley | Released 1 December 2008 | GR
Indy Savage, cop’s daughter, rock chick and used bookstore owner, has been in love with Lee Nightingale, once bad boy, now the man behind Nightingale Investigations, since she was five years old. No matter what ingenious schemes Indy used to capture his attention, Lee never showed an interest and Indy finally gave up. Now Indy’s employee, Rosie, has lost a bag of diamonds and bad guys are shooting at him. When Indy gets involved, Lee is forced to help. Complicating matters, Lee has decided he’s interested, Indy’s decided she’s not. But she can’t seem to keep Lee out of her life when she’s repeatedly stun gunned, kidnapped and there are car bombs exploding (not to mention she’s finding dead bodies).
Indy’s best bet is to solve the mystery of the diamonds before Lee. Lee’s challenge is to keep Indy alive and, at the same time, win back her heart.
This is another author who always seems to get high ratings for her books on Goodreads, and so I’ve been meaning to pick one up for a while. One day it will happen!
5. The Deal by Elle Kennedy | Released 24 February 2015 | GR
She’s about to make a deal with the college bad boy…
Hannah Wells has finally found someone who turns her on. But while she might be confident in every other area of her life, she’s carting around a full set of baggage when it comes to sex and seduction. If she wants to get her crush’s attention, she’ll have to step out of her comfort zone and make him take notice…even if it means tutoring the annoying, childish, cockycaptain of the hockey team in exchange for a pretend date.
…and it’s going to be oh so good
All Garrett Graham has ever wanted is to play professional hockey after graduation, but his plummeting GPA is threatening everything he’s worked so hard for. If helping a sarcastic brunette make another guy jealous will help him secure his position on the team, he’s all for it. But when one unexpected kiss leads to the wildest sex of both their lives, it doesn’t take long for Garrett to realize that pretend isn’t going to cut it. Now he just has to convince Hannah that the man she wants looks a lot like him.
New adult books are my guilty pleasure and this one looks right up my alley! I remember all of the hype surrounding it when it came out which made me really eager to start reading it, but for some reason I just never managed to get around to it.
Have you read any of these books? Which books didn’t you get to in 2018? Let me know in the comments!

Everything’s science fiction until someone makes it science fact.
Overview
Warcross: ★★★★★ Author: Marie Lu Published: September 12th 2017 Book #: 1
Wildcard: ★★★★ Author: Marie Lu Published: September 18th 2018 Book #: 2
Summary
For the millions who log in every day, Warcross isn’t just a game—it’s a way of life. The obsession started ten years ago and its fan base now spans the globe, some eager to escape from reality and others hoping to make a profit. Struggling to make ends meet, teenage hacker Emika Chen works as a bounty hunter, tracking down players who bet on the game illegally. But the bounty hunting world is a competitive one, and survival has not been easy. Needing to make some quick cash, Emika takes a risk and hacks into the opening game of the international Warcross Championships—only to accidentally glitch herself into the action and become an overnight sensation. Convinced she’s going to be arrested, Emika is shocked when instead she gets a call from the game’s creator, the elusive young billionaire Hideo Tanaka, with an irresistible offer. He needs a spy on the inside of this year’s tournament in order to uncover a security problem . . . and he wants Emika for the job. With no time to lose, Emika’s whisked off to Tokyo and thrust into a world of fame and fortune that she’s only dreamed of. But soon her investigation uncovers a sinister plot, with major consequences for the entire Warcross empire.
General Thoughts
I loved this series so much!
This duo-logy wrapped up in September when Lu brought out Wildcard, the second book, and so I decided to finally give it a read. Despite enjoying Lu’s previous series – Legend and The Young Elites – I wasn’t expecting much from this series, probably because I’m not a massive reader of science fiction. However, once I started reading, I couldn’t put it down, and I devoured both books in the space of a few days! I preferred the first book by far, but the second was also an exciting read. This series is definitely one of my top reads of 2018.
Plot
Every locked door has a key. Every problem has a solution.
Emika is struggling to get by, relying on her skills as a bounty hunter to pay for rent and food. But when a hack into the Warcross world goes wrong, she suddenly finds herself being offered a place in the Warcross Championships, and is brought into a world of luxury and riches. However, it all comes with a catch – she has to find the mysterious Zero who has been expertly hacking into the Warcross universe. But the job may be a lot more dangerous than she initially thought.
The plot of the first book is relatively straightforward, but what makes it so amazing is all of the twists and turns that you just don’t see coming. It ended on such a cliffhanger that I knew I had to move onto reading Wildcard straight away, eager to see how the series was going to end. And I was not disappointed.
The ending of the series was left kind of open-ended, but it was a satisfying conclusion nonetheless. However, I am curious as to what happens to the characters after the series ends!
World
The world-building was definitely my favourite aspect of this series. I’ve always been fascinated by Virtual Reality, and this series implemented it perfectly. It was everything that I hoped Ready Player One would be when I read it a few years back.
Lu creates the world fantastically, and it makes me wish that Hideo’s Virtual Reality creation existed in our world!
Characters
That’s the difference between the real and the virtual. Reality is where you can lose the ones you love. Reality is the place where you can feel the cracks in your heart.
I don’t necessarily have any complaints when it comes to the characters of this series, however I also wouldn’t say that I cared deeply for any of them.
The main characters of the series are Emika Chen and Hideo Tanaka. The latter is arguably the most interesting character. He’s deeply flawed and this makes him even more fun to read about.
There is also a wide array of side characters that support Emika while she completes her job, and they made a great addition to the series.
Conclusion
Overall, this series was an amazing read that I highly recommend. Although the second book wasn’t as captivating as the first, it still provided a nice end to the series. I’m now excited to see what Marie Lu comes up with next!
Have you also read Warcross? What did you think? Or is it on your TBR? Let me know in the comments!
Happy Top 5 Wednesday! This weeks topic is most anticipated 2019 releases. There any many books coming out in 2019 that I’m desperate to get my hands on, but somehow I managed to narrow it down to my top five.
1. Chain of Gold by Cassandra Clare | Released 19 November 2019 | GR
Welcome to Edwardian London, a time of electric lights and long shadows, the celebration of artistic beauty and the wild pursuit of pleasure, with demons waiting in the dark. For years there has been peace in the Shadowhunter world. James and Lucie Herondale, children of the famous Will and Tessa, have grown up in an idyll with their loving friends and family, listening to stories of good defeating evil and love conquering all. But everything changes when the Blackthorn and Carstairs families come to London…and so does a remorseless and inescapable plague.
James Herondale longs for a great love, and thinks he has found it in the beautiful, mysterious Grace Blackthorn. Cordelia Carstairs is desperate to become a hero, save her family from ruin, and keep her secret love for James hidden. When disaster strikes the Shadowhunters, James, Cordelia and their friends are plunged into a wild adventure which will reveal dark and incredible powers, and the true cruel price of being a hero…and falling in love.
This will be the first book in Cassandra Clare’s new Shadowhunter series – The Last Hours – and it is by far my most anticipated read of 2019! Also, look at how gorgeous that cover is! This will be a sequel series to her The Infernal Devices series, and it will also be the fourth series to be set in the Shadowhunter world. I am currently reading A Queen of Air and Darkness – the last book in The Dark Artifices series – and it’s making me even more hyped for the release of Chain of Gold. If only the release date wasn’t so far away!
2. Daisy Jones and the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid | Released 5 March 2019 | GR
In 1979, Daisy Jones and The Six split up. Together, they had redefined the 70’s music scene, creating an iconic sound that rocked the world. Apart, they baffled a world that had hung on their every verse.
This book is an attempt to piece together a clear portrait of the band’s rise to fame and their abrupt and infamous split. The following oral history is a compilation of interviews, emails, transcripts, and lyrics, all pertaining to the personal and professional lives of the members of the band The Six and singer Daisy Jones.
While I have aimed for a comprehensive and exhaustive approach, I must acknowledge that full and complete accounts from all parties involved has proved impossible. Some people were easier to track down than others, some were more willing to talk than others, and some, unfortunately, have passed on.
All of which is to say that while this is the first and only authorised account from all represented perspectives, it should be noted that, in matters both big and small, reasonable people disagree.
The truth often lies, unclaimed, in the middle.
Taylor Jenkins Reid is one of my favourite contemporary authors. I have read all of her books and loved every single one of them, especially her last release The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, which was an amazing and emotional read. Therefore, I can’t wait to dig into this new book!
3. Sorcery of Thorns by Margaret Rogerson | Released 4 June 2019 | GR
All sorcerers are evil. Elisabeth has known that as long as she has known anything. Raised as a foundling in one of Austermeer’s Great Libraries, Elisabeth has grown up among the tools of sorcery—magical grimoires that whisper on shelves and rattle beneath iron chains. If provoked, they transform into grotesque monsters of ink and leather. She hopes to become a warden, charged with protecting the kingdom from their power.
Then an act of sabotage releases the library’s most dangerous grimoire. Elisabeth’s desperate intervention implicates her in the crime, and she is torn from her home to face justice in the capital. With no one to turn to but her sworn enemy, the sorcerer Nathaniel Thorn, and his mysterious demonic servant, she finds herself entangled in a centuries-old conspiracy. Not only could the Great Libraries go up in flames, but the world along with them.
As her alliance with Nathaniel grows stronger, Elisabeth starts to question everything she’s been taught—about sorcerers, about the libraries she loves, even about herself. For Elisabeth has a power she has never guessed, and a future she could never have imagined.
Libraries and magic? I’ve never read anything by this author before but from the summary this book looks right up my alley! Some people have already received ARCs of this book and loved it so it’s definitely going on my pre-order list.
4. King of Scars by Leigh Bardugo | Released 29 January 2019 | GR
Nikolai Lantsov has always had a gift for the impossible. No one knows what he endured in his country’s bloody civil war—and he intends to keep it that way. Now, as enemies gather at his weakened borders, the young king must find a way to refill Ravka’s coffers, forge new alliances, and stop a rising threat to the once-great Grisha Army.
Yet with every day a dark magic within him grows stronger, threatening to destroy all he has built. With the help of a young monk and a legendary Grisha Squaller, Nikolai will journey to the places in Ravka where the deepest magic survives to vanquish the terrible legacy inside him. He will risk everything to save his country and himself. But some secrets aren’t meant to stay buried—and some wounds aren’t meant to heal.
This is a sequel series to Leigh Bardugo’s Grisha Verse series. Although that series wasn’t my favourite, I did enjoy it, and the summary for this new series has piqued my interest. Furthermore, her Six of Crows duo-logy, which is also set in the Grisha universe, is one of my all-time favourite series, and so I’m excited to see what she has in store for us next!
5. Tangled Like Us by Krista and Becca Ritchie | Released 17 January 2019 | GR
How to protect your heart: Let your bodyguard have it.
Jane Cobalt is an American princess. The loyal and painfully curious twenty-three-year-old has inherited immense pressure to preserve the Cobalt legacy. But for Jane — sex, love, and life have been a series of royal failures.
After a friends-with-benefits ended in disaster, she’s sworn to a “no sex” hiatus for, well, eternity — and she has no intention of letting anyone in her bed and definitely not her heart.
Twenty-eight-year-old Thatcher Moretti is painfully professional. As the stern 24/7 bodyguard to Jane, thinking about unbridled sex with his sweet client is a sin. One that he keeps committing.
But the real act is a hard line he’d never cross.
When a family member betrays Jane’s trust, the media becomes obsessed with matchmaking the perpetually “single” Jane Cobalt and unwanted attention suddenly compromises her safety.
Thatcher would do anything to protect her, and one solution may level the threats:
Become the fake boyfriend to an American princess.
Entwined together with boiling chemistry, new “professional” parameters, and an oath, unsaid feelings threaten to rise and change everything.
This is the fourth book in Krista and Becca Ritchie’s Like Us series, which focuses on the children of the characters from their Addicted series. Although I’m not enjoying the Like Us series as much I enjoyed Addicted, these books are still fun reads, and I’m very invested in the wide array of characters that feature in these books!
Have you also made an anticipated releases of 2019 post? Leave your link in the comments and I’ll check it out! If not, which books are you most excited for in 2019? Are any of mine on your TBR too? Let’s discuss it in the comments!
“If you are going to get anywhere in life you have to read a lot of books.” – Roald Dahl
Ever since I was a small child, reading has always been my favourite activity. I’ve always loved being dragged away from reality and into a completely different world. I typically read one to two books a week, and an activity that I enjoy almost as much as reading is getting to share my thoughts and ideas about the books that I have read.
So what is the perfect way to do this? Starting a book blog!
My favourite genres are fantasy (everything from high fantasy to urban fantasy) and young adult contemporary, but I do read a little bit of everything. You can check out which books that I read over on my Goodreads page (find the link here).
On this blog I will be discussing my thoughts on the books that I read, as well as sharing my book hauls, reading recommendations and anticipated reads.
You can expect to see new posts from me on Wednesday’s, Friday’s and Sunday’s. I look forward to sharing all of my book thoughts with you (and hearing your own!).
