So Many Books, So Little Time | What’s On My TBR?
There are so many books that I need to read. And being a mood reader is not helping matters when it comes to tackling the list. So, since I'm being indecisive on what I'm going to read next, I figured I would just share what I have lined up to be read next. Will I actually end up reading those next? We'll see. But this is everything I have on the docket at least for this month. These aren't in order by any means of when I'm going to be reading them and two of them I have started.…
View PostA Pseudo Tandem Reading Guide for From Blood and Ash & A Soul of Ash and Blood by Jennifer L. Armentrout
While From Blood and Ash and A Soul of Ash and Blood are essentially the same story but told from different POV, I would not recommend reading them in tandem since you will get major spoilers for the rest of the series if you read A Soul of Ash and Blood at the same time. As A Soul of Ash and Blood is told by Casteel as he recounts what happened when he first met Poppy from his perspective as he waits for her to wake up, since Nektas told him to talk to Poppy so she might remember herself. If you skipped all the present chapters, you could read them together in tandem; however, there are massive spoilers for From Blood and Ash, since Poppy had been aware of the truth regarding Casteel. So, I would more recommend this if you've already read the series and want to re-experience the first book from both sides as you read A Soul of Ash and Blood.…
View PostMy Thoughts on the Never After Series by Emily McIntire
I gave brief thoughts on each of the books during my monthly round-ups, but I thought I would discuss the four books released in the Never After Series by Emily McIntire in one post. I find these to be really interesting. Each book is standalone, so you don't have to read them in order for each of them to understand what's happening. They are fractured fairy tales, meaning they have references to the original stories but are not retellings by any means. They are also dark and feature mature and graphic content. So, there are trigger warnings (different ones) for each of the books.…
View PostLooking Back at the Books I Read in July 2023
This month felt like every book series had a release. Granted, that's not true as many more are releasing books next month that are on my TBR. Either way, there were a lot of things that I wanted to read. Some of them were definitely better than others, not to mention I also went on a massive hockey romance or rather college sport romance kick as I just couldn't commit myself to reading a new series while I was in the middle of packing up to move and arranging everything involved in that. …
View PostThoughts on A Game of Gods (Hades Saga, Book 3) by Scarlett St. Clair
A Game of Gods by Scarlett St. Clair is the final book in the Hades Sage, though it is not the final book in the Hades and Persephone series as the two series will merge in one final book. And while this book was the last from Hades side, it was not only told from his POV, we also got Theseus and Dionysius. Similar to the other books in this series, this book occurs at the same time as A Touch of Malice, see my reading guide for how to read these together.…
View PostTandem Reading Guide for A Touch of Malice and A Game of Gods by Scarlett St. Clair
Whereas, the rest of this series by Scarlett St. Clair can be broken into Persephone POV in one half and Hades in the other, A Game of Gods includes additional POVs. So, this book doesn't exactly line up perfectly, but it still does enough where a tandem reading guide could be created between this book and A Touch of Malice.…
View PostMy Thoughts on A Soul of Ash and Blood (Blood and Ash, Book 5) by Jennifer L. Armentrout
A Soul of Ash and Blood is the fifth installment of the Blood and Ash series by Jennifer L. Armentrout. However, while it might be the fifth installment, this book is basically a retelling of From Blood and Ash from Cas's POV. There are moments of the present sprinkled in, so it's not completely just a retelling, but usually those chapters are fairly short and serve as a transition when something else in From Blood and Ash didn't involve the two of them together. So, this isn't going to be a long review by any means as I don't have a lot of new things to talk about with this tale that I didn't already discuss when I reviewed From Blood and Ash.…
View PostContent Warnings in Books: When Done Right and Wrong
I've read a lot of books that had content warnings at the beginning. A content warning (also known as a trigger warning) is a notice about potentially sensitive content that allows individuals with mental health triggers or past trauma to prepare themselves or opt out if the content is too much for them. It's similar to movie ratings with a brief summary of the rating. Some individuals regard them as spoilers, while others need them for the reasons outlined before. I think they can be very helpful when done right. However, I've seen multiple instances of these being done incorrectly. So, I thought I would go through them. …
View PostMid-Year Reading Wrap Up: Best Books I’ve Read So Far
Instead of going through every book I've read so far for my mid-year reading wrap up, I decided to focus on the ones with the highest ratings. Especially since I've read so many books this year. Each of these books received four stars or above, indicating that they were among the best books I've ever read. I couldn't put any of these books down and found them to be excellent. However, because it is on a.25 increment scale, there is a range within it, with some reaching closer to five stars than others.…
View PostLooking Back at the Books I Read in June 2023
I finally feel like I'm out of my reading slump. I've been reading a ton of books over on Kindle; two of which were ARC. I don't know if it's because a bunch of books that were on my TBR or in series I had already started came out this month or if the mood finally shifted. I know I have several more coming out in July, so we'll see if that continues. But I'm also in the middle of moving, so we'll see how much reading I actually get done.…
