Trope I’m Tired of Seeing: Sacrificing Power

Trope I’m Tired of Seeing: Sacrificing Power

Sometimes I don’t mind seeing particular tropes in books. Other times, I set the book off to the side and go: “Seriously? We’re doing this again?” This is one of those tropes. I was debating on talking about multiple tropes, but honestly, I feel like this just needs a post of its own. What is that trope you might ask? The lead character losing all of their powers at the end of the book, especially if they were near god-like in the amount of power they had.

I Have No Idea Where to Start My Book TBR

I Have No Idea Where to Start My Book TBR

In a recent post, I mentioned how I did a massive book haul. That’s a bit of an understatement. So, I decided to pull every book off my shelf that I want to read. And honestly, I have no idea where I even want to start with tackling this pile. Granted, I already started it last month and have posted reviews on every book that I read. This is not even everything if I’m being 100% honest. There are some books I got last year that should be in here as well, but considering how many books this already is I didn’t go back to grab those. Maybe I’ll end up reading those before some of these, but I thought this would be a fun post to do while I debate on what to read next. Hell, you guys might help me pick which one to start with.

The 20 Question Book Tag

The 20 Question Book Tag

I saw this tag on Ellie’s blog, Read to Ramble, and she was tagged by Sabrina over at Sabrina’s Booktails, who found this tag on Prutha’s blog, The Confessions of A Music and Book Addict, and after searching through loads of other posts… I can’t find the original author of this tag nor could Ellie. If you know it, please share in the comments. But I wanted to do this tag since it looked interesting and I need something to blog about during the stretches between books. Since I don’t have time to read long books in one sitting at the moment.

The Dregs from Six of Crows Inspired Tarot Cards

The Dregs from Six of Crows Inspired Tarot Cards

Now these aren’t tarot cards completely but are inspired by that style with artwork over a specific name. I’m excited for Grishaverse to become a Netflix show though I’m still insanely curious how they are going to blend Six of Crows in with Shadow and Bone since the events happen at different times by years. And yet in the show they are going to be blended. Anyways, here are the Dregs (six main characters) from Six of Crows.

12 Days of Christmas Book Tag

12 Days of Christmas Book Tag

I wasn’t tagged to do the 12 Days of Christmas Book Tag, but I really liked the concept after seeing it on Ellie’s blog (Read to Ramble). So, I’m going to do it as well. This tag was originally created by Lizzie Loves Books.

My Thoughts While Reading Ruin and Rising (Shadow and Bone Series #3) by Leigh Bardugo

My Thoughts While Reading Ruin and Rising (Shadow and Bone Series #3) by Leigh Bardugo

Ruin and Rising by Leigh Bardugo is the conclusion of Shadow and Bone series. If you haven’t seen my posts on Shadow and Bone or Siege and Storm I would recommend checking out those first before reading my thoughts on the final book in the series. As there will be spoilers. If you want spoiler free, go to the OVERALL THOUGHTS section as I’ll be wrapping up my thoughts there without any of the plot points.
