I was able to finish 4 books this week. I read Gemina and The Darkest Legacy for Tome Topple. Gemina was a reread so of course I loved that one otherwise I wouldn’t have reread it. The Darkest Legacy is another story. I really did not like this book and that’s all I’m going to say right now because I don’t want to start ranting about this book. The Stephen King Readalong pick this month was Carrie and I thought this one was ok. Last up I read the poetry collection Salt because I knew it would be a quick read and unfortunately I didn’t like this one either.
I almost didn’t start reading this one. I picked this up on the 27th and I am really hoping I will be able to finish it by the end of the month. As of last night I have read 163/422 pages. To finish it by the end of the month I need to read at least 130 pages today and tomorrow. Fingers crossed can do it.
I have no clue what I am going to read next. I just want to focus on finishing Daughter of Smoke and Bone. I doubt I will pick anything else up before May and as of right now I’m not 100% sure about what I plan to read in May.
Credit as always to The Book Date. Have you read any of the books I mentioned? What did you think of them if you have? What have you been reading lately? What are your reading plans for the week?
even I need to read this 💕

Which one??

I decided that I hate myself and started reading both A Queen of Air and Darkness by Cassandra Clare, and A Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon. Both books are 800+ pages so I’m assuming I will be reading them for quite some time and with many, many tissues.

Thank you!! I probably shouldn’t have started another book this close to the end of the month but I wanted to read something so I picked up the one I was supposed to read a month ago. Good luck. It’s ok I had a mixture of a month reading wise this month some I really enjoyed and some not so much which is bound to happen every now and again.

How are you liking Daughter of Smoke and Bone so far? I’ve heard great things about that one! I’m currently reading Words in Deep Blue, and though I’m not very far into it, I am enjoying it, for the most part! 🙂

I’m enjoying it. I’m completely clueless as to what’s going on but things are getting revealed as I read. It’s very interesting so far. I don’t think I’ve ever read anything with these types of creatures before.

Historical tends to be hit or miss for me so I don’t end up reading a lot of it.
