July Wrap Up

Hi all! Sorry that I haven’t been around this month, but I am back at university this month and I am trying to get back into the kick of things. Also my first assessments are due in the next couple of week so trying to get all them done. But after next weekend I should be back to my old self.

So July has been sort of, a down month for me. So because of that I haven’t read many books or posted any reviews or posts this month.

But I did buy and borrow quite a couple of books this month. I also received some books this month.

Books Read

– What I Thought Was True by Huntley Fitzpatrick:  I really didn’t like it as much when I started to read it; but after about 80 or so pages I was really enjoying it | 3.5 Stars
– Lorali by Laura Dockrill: I really, really enjoyed this book. It was different, unique and beautiful | 4 Stars | Review
– Scarlet by Marissa Meyer:  I loved Cinder, I though it was amazing and I loved Scarlet just as much. I cannot explain how much I love Wolf and Scarlet. Just my heart | 4.5 Stars.
– Cress by Marissa Meyer: I think that Cress, might be my favourite of the three so far. The thing that I love about Marissa Meyer is that all her female protagonist and their men are all amazing | 4.5 Stars.
– Sea Hearts by Margo Lanagan: The writing is beautiful, gorgeous; I can’t explain it. But I had a hard time wrapping my head around what was going on and the world | 3 Stars

Life

 

Like I said at the start, I am back at university after my mid-year break. And while I am trying to get back into it all, I am loving it. I am a full time student so I take 4 courses (classes) so I am quite busy.

I am also back into writing; I had a bit of a slump last month but I am writing more and loving it. I also started or have an idea of a new manuscript and I really like the idea so I am really excited.

This month has been very slow. But I hope that you enjoyed this two reviews.

– Book Review: Lorali by Laura Dockrill
– Book Review: Anya and the Shy Guy by Suze Winegardner

    I’m glad to hear you had a good month! You read quite a few books, too. 😛 I’m glad you’re liking The Lunar Chronicles. They’re a great series, and Marissa Meyer has done a really good job with them. I’m excited for Winter and her 2016 novel Heartless. She’s so great at retellings!

March was a better reading month than February for March was a better reading month than February for me, and while I’m still stuck in my heated rivalry fanfiction era I managed to scrap out of it a little this month. 

I reread four books from the sweet omegaverse series and honestly had the best time. I also read two of my most anticipated reads of the year and had a blast. Sadly I did also have my first dnf of the year.

What did you read this March? Any standouts? What are you looking forward to reading in April? Let’s chat!

I have a love-hate relationship with this series. I have a love-hate relationship with this series. But I ended up really enjoying this one. It’s best friends to fake dating to-lovers. It’s always been you, bad-boy/good-girl, and I loved that. While Save Your Breath has quite a few tropes, it really leads itself to it, and it works. 

Aleks and Mia have known each other for years now. Since they were teenagers, that angst has been building up this whole time. And you can tell right from the get-go, it’s fantastic. I even wanted more of it, because I love pain. When Aleks went to live with Mia’s family as a teenager, sparks flew, but for many reasons, they both put their feelings aside. And well, now they are not only going to be fake-dating, but they might as well be engaged, too. 

I really enjoyed seeing how both Aleks and Mia both tried to hide how they were feeling throughout the whole ‘fake-dating’ situation, but anyone could see it. They know each other as no one else does. Aleks has a lot going on, and while I do think this was brushed over a little too much, Mia is his centre. Mia is a massive music star and is a female in the industry, so yeah, people don’t respect her. Obvsiouly because why couldn’t a female star be badass and write about the things that she has gone through? Aleks and Mia get each other, and that is very clear from the start; they are both just trying to squash everything. We get to see them slowly start to show how they feel, and well, one night it all explodes. 

Overall, I enjoyed this one a lot; it’s not my favourite of the series, but I had a great time reading it. I liked Aleks and Mia a lot as characeters and while I think the mental health aspect could have been explored a whole lot more, I can see why it wasn’t. The romance was slow and spicy, the angst was great, and the payoff for these two was what they needed.

Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I onl Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I only ended up reading 3 books in. 3 pretty fun books but one of my slowest readings months in a while. 

And I’m going to be honest here it’s because I’ve been constantly reading Heated Rivalry fanfics. 🤷‍♀️ I’m having the best time though. 

How was your reading in February? Any 5  star reads?
