Continue reading “Book Review: Serpent & Dove”Another Sunday and another weekend closer to Christmas! This was a pretty busy, yet enjoyable week, but I’m definitely getting into my pre-holiday scramble mode. This is why I shouldn’t wait til the last minute to get all my Christmas stuff done…
But, before my brain is consumed by all the things I still need to get done, let’s get to this wrap-up!
Through various methods, I have picked up quite a few books recently. I figured it was about time to talk about them! As we get close to the end of year and I realize that my upcoming 2020 book buying ban is fast approaching, I find myself buying ALL THE BOOKS!
Because I have a problem, y’all.
So I’ve got quite a list! I’ll break it down by where I acquired said books.
Alright! That’s all my new books and, man, it is a stack. This is why my TBR will never shrink. Though I will be working on that next year! I’m really curious to see how well I manage to stick to my buying ban… I just want all the books, y’all.
So, have you read any of these books? Are there any I should prioritize in 2020? Let me know in the comments!
And, as always, happy reading!

Genre: YA Horror
CW: Gore
Rating: ★★★★
A strange disease has hit the Raxter School for Girls but, when Hettie’s best friend goes missing, the main thing she cares about is finding out where she’s gone.
“Some days it’s fine. Others it nearly breaks me. The emptiness of the horizon, and the hunger in my body, and how will we ever survive this if we can’t survive each other?”
Continue reading “Book Review: Wilder Girls”It’s time for another WWW Wednesday! This is a bookish meme hosted by Taking on a World of Words where bloggers answer the 3 Ws:
Leviathan Wakes by James S.A. Corey
I’ve been slowly getting through this chonky boy. I probably would have been farther along by now, but a certain book sucked all my energy and made it hard for me to pick up anything else. We’ll talk about that book next…
I’ve also just downloaded Scarlet by Marissa Meyer from my library, so I’ll be picking that up soon!
Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo
…Sigh. This book. This book was so underwhelming. I know three stars isn’t a bad rating. It’s middle of the road, it’s nothing terrible. But I was honestly expecting to be blown away by this book! It was less of a tempest and more of a light, spring breeze and that fact just sucked all my energy.
Cinder by Marissa Meyer
This, however, was a delight! I only picked this book up because I hear about it everywhere. I finally decided to see what all the hype was about. I’m happy to say that I fell for it hard! So hard, in fact, that I put a hold on the second book as soon as I was done with the first.
The Deep by Rivers Solomon
I meant to start this last week, I truly did, but, as I said, my book reading energy was being sapped. But I’m done with Ninth House now and I’m ready to dig into this.
Alright, time to get some more reading done before bed time. I’m coming for ya, Leviathan Wakes!
Have you read any of these books? Loved/hated any in particular? Let me know in the comments!
And, as always, happy reading!
Top Ten Tuesday
Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish back in June 2010. It is currently hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl and, as is stated on the blog, it was “born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.”
Another TTT and it’s a freebie! Since we get to choose our topic this week, I figured I would use this Top Ten Tuesday to talk about the books I am most looking forward to in 2020. I’ll make sure that there is a link to all their Goodreads pages so that, if they sound interesting to you, it’ll be easy to add them to your TBR!
on to my top ten most anticipated 2020 reads
