A Really Late February Wrap Up

First I'd like to say sorry that this is so late and that I did not put up a TBR for this month. I am also currently in a reading slump, which is really sad because I had a bunch of review books I was going to read this month. Although I am going to try to get out of it by watching way to much Netflix. :D Also I am just getting over being sick. So anyway on to the really late wrap up...

Last month I read a lot of books and I am extremely happy. :D In total, I read nine books and I enjoyed most of them. Some were not so good.

The first book I read was Chestnuts: A True Story About Being Bullied by Gilbert Ohanian. I gave this a 2.5 stars out of 5 stars. I have a more in depth review and I will leave the link below.
I picked up Einstein's Beach House by Jacob M Appel next. I really liked this book. It was quirky, entertaining, and heartbreaking all at the same time! Also I wrote a review for this and I will leave the link below as well.

Then I read The Shinning by Stephen King, which was absolutely amazing! I loved this book. The characters and plot were amazing. I would read this book over and over again and I probably will! I gave this a 5 out of 5 stars and if it was possible I would give it more and I cannot wait to read the sequel, Doctor Sleep! Next I read Bobo by Richard Schiver, which is a short story that I downloaded on my kindle. I gave this a 2 out of 5 stars. I just didn't like it.

I finished The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare by reading the last two books, which are called City of Lost Souls and City of Heavenly Fire! Oh my god, this series is freaking amazing! I can't get enough and I wish it didn't end! I gave both books 5 out of 5 stars! Ugh I can't wait to re-read the series. It also made me want to read the Infernal Devices or the Bane Chronicles. (I cannot get enough of Alec and Magnus...just saying.)

Then I started Rising Tide: Dark Innocence by Claudette Melanson, who is so sweet. I really liked this book. It was really good and it put me in the mood to read more vampire books. I gave this book a 4 stars out of 5 stars. :D Also I did a review for this one and I will leave the link below. :D

The Patmos Deception by Davis Bunn was the next book I read. I thought this was good and I gave it a 3 out of 5 stars. I posted a review for this book and I will leave it below if you'd like to know more about how I felt.

Lastly, I finished my TBR jar pick for February, which was The Warrior Heir by Cinda Williams Chima. I highly enjoyed this book. I really liked the main character and the plot. I will definitely go on to read the sequel, which I believe is the Wizard Heir. I could be wrong. Haha

That is all I read in the month of February. Leave a comment telling me what you read in February. Happy Reading

Biannual Bibliothon TBR!

Once again it's time for the summer part of the Biannual Bibliothon! This portion of the read-a-thon runs from July 3rd to July 9th. I can't wait for this week long read-a-thon to binge read some great books! Also it might help my annoyingly long reading slump to end. The hosts of this read-a-thon came up with several reading and video challenges and I will link their youtube videos about both below. While I will not be doing the video challenges, however, I will be participating in a couple of the reading challenges. The Reading Challenges include:   1. Read the group book- The Unexpected Everything by Morgan Matson   2. Free Choice/Wild Card Book   3. Read a Book Off of the Host's List of Recommendations   4. Read a Book With Your Favorite Mythical Creature   5. Read a book You've Been Putting off Picking Up   6. Read a Book from an Author You've Never Read Before   7. Read a Book in a Different Formant than You Usually Read I will not ...

DAY ONE! Reading Cram 2.0: Chills and Thrills Readathon! TBR Challenge!

"Oct 24-- TBR challenge- -List what books you are planning to read for the read-a-thon, on your blog, YouTube, etc. You don't have to stick to the list FYI :)"- Juliababyjen These are not in any particular order and I may or may not read these. This is a rough idea of the books I'll be reading or trying to read. Three of the six books were recommended to me by MonsterMen13 on YouTube...well not exactly to me but in general.  Also just because I wrote down six books does not mean I'll get to them or that I will read six books.  **The themes are based off of the summary and friends** Stardust by Neil Gaiman ; started Spooky Theme: Witches... I started this during the Octobathon and did not finish. Horns by Joe Hill Spooky Theme: Thriller, Mystery... I heard about this book from padfootandprangs07 a while back. Then my friend recommended it to me. Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children  By Ransom R...

Late Read-A-Thon TBRs! #ProjectTBR #TBRLove

Hi guys, girls, and everyone in between, I hope you had a wonderful Valentine's Day. So it is kind of late to do a TBR for the TBR Love read-a-thon that runs from Valentine's day to the 20th and the Project TBR read-a-thon that runs from the 16th to the 22nd, but I'm going to do it anyway! So I am currently reading The Patmos Deception by Davis Bunn (...yes I know... I am still reading it) and Rising Tide: Dark Innocence by Claudette Melanson and Daniel Chon. If I finish these then I am going to move onto the Warrior Heir by Cinda Williams Chima. Then if I finish that I am going to start Novelty by Shann Hurst. So yeah, that is what I am going to read for those read-a-thons and I am not doing any challenges for the Project TBR read-a-thon. If you are participating in any of these read-a-thons, then good luck and I wish everyone a good end to the month of February! Also I will be posting a mid-February update if anyone is interest!  -Ashley <3
