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?

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?
