My Thoughts While Reading Shadow and Bone (Shadow and Bone Series #1) by Leigh Bardugo

After finishing the Six of Crows duology, I was going to stay in the Grishaverse and head over to the original series Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo. But due to the knowledge that I had gleamed from Six of Crows and TikTok, I kept getting anxious when it came to starting this book series. So, I had put it off and returned to other series I had already read. As I felt like I knew too much in a way, or had too high of expectations to enjoy reading the book. But after a month or so, I finally forced myself to get past that and start Shadow and Bone. Once I started, I couldn’t put the book down.

Books I’ve Purchased Recently that I Seriously Need to Read (aka Book Haul)

So, I got seriously into reading than after binging a lot of good series, I fell not really into a reading slump as I haven’t stopped reading but I haven’t really touched new books. I’ve just been re-reading all of my favorite series. And have way, way, way too many that I purchased but haven’t read. Nor can get myself to read as I’m too nervous to reach for them for fear they won’t live up to expectations. As a lot of these I learned through BookTok (TikTok) as being great books.

Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild – Divine Beast Vah Naboris

I’ve recently been live-streaming over on Twitch, and started playing Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild again. And it’s been nine months since the last time I played, but I finally got back to it. And have every intention of finishing the game. The other day, I just finished Divine Beast Vah Naboris. This is the last Divine Beast I had left to defeat/handle in the game. It’s also probably the hardest of the divine beasts.

My Thoughts While Reading Girl, Serpent, Thorn by Melissa Barshardoust

Within the last month or so, I’ve been heavily talking with people over on Discord and joined several different servers. One of which is a writers’ Discord by Rebecca Mix called Chaos Sprinters. I love talking with people in there about books and writing. And recently we decided to start a book club on there. The first book we decided to go with is Girl, Serpent, Thorn by Melissa Barshardoust. This book has been on my TBR for some time, so I’m glad to finally get around to reading it.

My Experience Reading Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo

Alright the time has come to finish the Six of Crows duology by Leigh Bardugo. Going into Crooked Kingdom I’m curious where this story will go after reading the first book, and everyone on BookTok says it’s heartbreaking or emotional. So, I have a feeling going into the book that a lot of the main characters are going to die. Or Kaz doesn’t manage to get his wraith (Inej) back. As I did with the first book, I’m going to be sharing my thoughts as I read the book breaking it up into the sections of the book.

7 Deadly Sins Book Tag

I don’t know who the originator of this tag is, but I wanted to do the 7 Deadly Sins Book Tag as it looked interesting. I spotted this on Berries and Books.
