This book has been on my shelf for well over a year. I’d heard about it many times and only ever good reviews for the first book in this series, but starting a new high fantasy series is always a scary commitment. Finally, as I’m in a real fantasy mood lately, I picked this up to read the first book and make a decision whether to continue this series. Not going to lie I’ve not heard the best of things for this series as a whole; but I truly have loved the first book and have just had to order the second one ready to pick straight up.

Going into the new year, I was coming off from two fantastic reading months; with my new reading challenges set, my bullet journal reading tracker set up, I was hoping to kick off the year with another fabulous reading month. Well, that just didn’t happen. After just 3 weeks, I was already behind with my GoodReads goal, which nudged me to try and catch up with some quick reads. Anyway, this is what I read during January.   Continue reading “January Wrap Up”

February has to be a better month than January, I can not let it become a habit of not reading much as then I will never reach my goal. Therefore, I am going into February with one very easy, very clear cut plan, that should be easily do able for me. Hopefully it will boost the numbers up, as well as completing one of my reading goals of finishing series. So this is what I’m hoping to read.  Continue reading “February TBR”

Although I didn’t read an awful lot of books in 2017, I sure did read some really good ones. For this post, I’m going to mention both the top books in terms of ratings as well as the top ones that I remember. I feel its so important to put the best books from what has stuck with me, as that is what matters I believe. A book shouldn’t just end when you finish it, it should be able to stick with you for the year.  Continue reading “Best Books of 2017”

I’ve been enjoying setting myself goals for my reading each year for a few years now, and once again, this years has not gone too well. Feel like it started off alright, but with moving and then falling into a massive reading slump over the Summer, it just definitely didn’t go as planned. But here is how I did… Continue reading “How did 2017 Reading Goals go?”

I was so looking forward to this readathon; a full week with the excuse to read constantly. Ahead of the week I had tried to empty my week as much as possible so that I could really dedicate myself to this week of reading. However, as its past midday on day 4 that I’m even getting round to updating this says just how badly this readathon is going for me. Lets hope I can pull it back together.  Continue reading “BoutofBooks Readathon Diary”

Ah, this is just feeling so good, I am almost 100% back to my reading self. This is the second month that has gone fabulously well for reading, I’d say even more so than November! And I find that’s pretty surprising with Christmas and all the busy things that come along with that. Then again, I’m not as busy as others, and Christmas for my family involves a lot of doing what you want to do.  Continue reading “December Wrap Up”

YAY, its time for another readathon. I absolutely loved the minimoji readathon that I did the other month, so thought I might as well join in on the Bout of Books one!! I’m so excited to get started; but I have to wait till it starts on the 8th of January (the day this goes out actually). This is a week long readathon, that is very relaxed from my understanding; the only goal is to reach your own goal and read more than you normally would. Personally, I find this quite challenging as I’m terrible at setting my own goals, but going to give it a go never the less. So lets look at what I might read.  Continue reading “Bout of Books TBR”
