June Wrap Up

June has had me firmly seated at what I have been calling ‘Procrastination Station’. With bouts of feeling ill, I have struggled with motivation. I have been procrastinating my writing by reading and then procrastinating my reading by writing, making minimal headway with either. I managed to think of a new book, WIP number four, instead of finishing the last four chapters of the one I need to finish before the end of July. I am hoping that by giving myself a deadline, I might finish it.

My favourite book of the month was A Court of Thorns and Roses, and not just because it was the only book I finished this month. It is currently my favourite book of the year, but I have a feeling A Court of Mist and Fury is quickly coming for that title. I love Feyre, and I am invested in her! I am still reading A Court of Mist and Fury and loving every second of it. I do not want it to end, but I am also really looking forward to what could be coming next in this series. I do not often pick a favourite book boyfriend; there are many, and I love them all. But Rhysand has changed that rule and has not only created a hierarchy but is now crowned King.

Do you have a favourite book boyfriend? Or what has been your favourite book of the year so far?

REVIEW: A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas

Rating: 5 out of 5.

A Court of Thorns and Roses is a High Fantasy Novel by Sarah J. Maas and the first book in the A Court of Thorns and Roses series. Feyre is only nineteen, and yet her family’s lives rest on her shoulders. Her world is bleak and cold, and everything is a fight to survive. Until one choice, one arrow changes everything, an action to feed the ones she has sworn to protect means she is ripped from the world she has known, a world where she has fought tooth and nail to survive and dropped into a world that seems anything but hard—peaceful, perhaps. Finding her footing, finding where she stands now, will be challenging, but with creatures, she knows only tales about surrounding her and secrets, so many secrets, being kept from her, this colourful land may be harder than the one she came from. What would you do for love? Just how far would you go to protect the ones you love? Which lines would you cross?

May Wrap Up

I have mentioned this before on Instagram, but I have had a difficult time this month with feeling unwell and have therefore found it very hard to stay focused enough to read, but I am proud of managing three books. To perk myself up, I did order eight new books. I have no idea where I am putting them, but they are very pretty, and I am excited to get started on them!

I also joined the #EightBookBash challenge, which is where you choose eight books off of your physical TBR (To Be Read) to read before the end of the year, and I am so happy with being able to fit If I Stay in before the end of this month.

None of the books this month really stood out to me, but I think my favourite would have to be The Pleasures of Autumn, purely for the growth of Sinead, and I look forward to her short story that I will read in the upcoming months.

I still have not decided yet, but what will be your first book for June?
