Have you read From Blood and Ash by Jennifer Armentrout? I waited and waited to read it, not sure why. But I loved it so much, I promptly checked out A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire from Libby. Then I loved it so much I wanted to cry that Libby didn’t offer A Crown ofContinue reading “The Maiden and her Guard”

Reading Challenges
I loved when ATY did the prompts for the Wedding theme; something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. That time I went with Pride and Prejudice (old), Pride and Prejudice and Mistletoe (borrowed), Unmarriageable (blue) and Pride (new). This year the prompts are 3 books relating to past, present and future. I played aroundContinue reading “Reading Challenges”

I just don’t see how some of these books made this list, and how other books didn’t make the list. I am also sureContinue reading “100 Book You Should Read in a Lifetime?”
What I Read in 2017
If you like to read, I highly recommend you start using Goodreads to track what you read and want to read. It gives recommendations and there are so many book giveaways also. I also recommend checking out the Popsugar reading challenge to give yourself a more vast variety of books to read. So many ofContinue reading “What I Read in 2017”
What to Read this Year
I posted previously that I was following along with Popsugar’s 2017 Reading Challenge. And with this, I learned about Goodreads. Which is a great way to keep track of what I have read, what I want to read and what I want to read again. I have learned to only go to the used bookContinue reading “What to Read this Year”
