July Wrap Up

The flu has been coming for me hard this week, so I never got around to finishing A Court of Wings and Ruin, but I think that is a good thing because now I do not have to choose between that and A Court of Mist and Fury for my favourite book of the month. I am starting to sound like a parrot, but I am absolutely loving the A Court of Thorns and Roses series; every book so far is better than the last! I am still very much in love with Rhysand, but the way the third book is going, I think Azriel may be joining the book-boyfriend ranks.

I would be remiss not to mention how thrilled I was to have my first opportunity to ARC read for Susan Golden this month. The Lord of Mist and Mead still has a pre-order sale on Amazon (until 12th September 2023). Check out my review or Susan Golden’s page if you love Fae Romantasy.

What is the weather like where you are today? It is wonderfully overcast and rainy where I am, which is perfect weather for resting all day in bed.

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?

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?
