The End of the Year Book Tag

Hello book friends and other readers! I thought it was time for another tag. A bookish one! I will try my hand at the end of year book tag today. If you’re going to use this tag as well, don’t forget to link back to the original creator! The end of the year book tag was made by Drizzle and Hurricane, but I found it over on Jenn’s blog, Jenniely! Are there any book you started this year that you need to finish? Oh yes. I’ve been a little bad at actually finishing books lately. The ones I started this…

So in this post I’ll try to give some pointers on how to read, stress free! Remember who you’re reading for… … It’s you! You like books, so you read them for yourself!

The Queen of Nothing Review

The Queen of Nothing was one of my most anticipated releases for this year, so as soon as I got my hands on a copy I sped through it. That ending in The Wicked King really left us with questions, and I needed them answered ASAP! This review will contain some spoilers, so best not read it if you haven’t finished the book yet!
