Would You Rather – Bookish Edition Tag

Book tag time! I was tagged by Leah from Leah’s Books and Cooks to do the “would you rather” tag. I glanced over the questions, and they’re actually pretty hard, so here we go… But first, here are the rules for this tag: Answer the questions given to you by your nominator Make up your own questions and tag others Would you rather have to read the last chapter of every new book first, or never read the last chapter? Okay, there we have it. I told you this was hard?! In this case I’d choose to read the last…

Fae Friday: all the sparkles!

Finally time for another Fae Friday post! It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything. It’s been a weird month. Anyway, this week’s prompt is all about sparkles!

February Wrap Up – an intense month of reading

It’s high time for a February wrap up! I did quite well this month, seven books total! Vicious – V.E. Schwab The first book on this February wrap up is Vicious. I’ve been meaning to read it forever, but as the song goes, I never got to it. Finally decided to read it quickly before classes would start. I really really enjoyed this book. It’s a not so typical superhero / villain story. I think the plot was really well executed. 5★ The Gilded Wolves – Roshani Choksi After reading Vicious, it was high time for a YA fantasy. I…

My Most Anticipated March Releases

It’s already almost March, can you believe it?! It feels like yesterday when I was complaining January lasted forever… I’m so glad it’s March though. We’ve got some awesome releases to look forward to this month! House of Earth and Blood by Sarah J. Maas – 3 March Kicking this list off with the number one of my most anticipated March releases. I am very stoked for this book, but I plan to get it when I’m back in the US. There’s a good chance I’ll go straight from the airport to Barnes & Noble, haha! Anyway, I’m super stoked…
