Ashley’s May Wrap Up

05.31.2019 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

May was a bit of an interesting reading month for me.  I started out with these really good intentions to read a lot of fantasy books and then I kind of started to feel somewhat burnt out on it, and hit a book I didn’t really want to continue with it.  I was talking to my friend Cheyenne, and mentioned wanting to throw my TBR out the window and just read whatever I wanted.  She encouraged me to do what was best for my reading, and so I did.  That’s not to say I didn’t read any fantasy this month, because I did get to a couple which was nice.  I think because of this I will probably be a bit more loosey goosey on my TBR in June, which will be more forgiving to me as I move into the end of the school year.

Ashley’s May Haul

05.30.2019 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

I am a bit embarrassed about how big my May haul is.  I promise that I didn’t really do all that much book shopping this month except for one or two things, but so many things that I had ordered in previous month came in and so it makes it look like I went absolutely crazy with my shopping.  So I guess, technically, I did go crazy in the past months.  Just know that I was actually pretty reasonable this month, it’s just that all of my previous crazy ended up coming to my mail box in various shipments this month.  Pretend that I’ve inserted the See No Evil Monkey emoji here, because I’m definitely a little bit embarrassed.

Review | Please Send Help by Alison Raskin and Gaby Dunn

05.26.2019 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

**Disclaimer: I received a free copy of Please Send Help for review purposes from NetGalley.  Thank you to the publishers for this opportunity.

Please Send Help by Alison Raskin and Gaby Dunn is the follow up novel to I Hate Everyone But You.  It takes place three or four years after the initial story, and continues to tell us Gen and Ava’s story.  Gen and Ava are best friends and have been since high school. They went to different colleges and so their friendship became long distance and both books are told through text messages and emails.  The first is their first year of separation, and Please Send Help is the story of them being fresh out of college and working their first jobs.  The girls are older and wiser, sort of, and navigating the world of adulthood.

Review | Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston

Red, White & Royal Blue***Disclaimer: I received a free early access copy of Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston from NetGalley through St. Martin’s Press for review purposes. Thank you so much for opportunity.

Politics? Royalty? Enemies to friends? Forbidden romance? Well, that’s one of the ways to gain my attention.

Ashley’s May TBR

05.02.2019 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

I’ve decided to do something a little different with my reading plans in May.  I’ve just come off of April where I completed two different readathons, during which I read some books which have been sitting on my TBR for a rather long time.  It felt really good to check those off of my list, so I decided to dedicate May to knocking some of the books I have been putting off, off my list. However, I decided I am going to focus a little bit on fantasy books in particular.

A: When I was little I was obsessed with Nancy Drew books.  I’d take two out of the library each week and read them.  One year I joined this club at the local library and part of it was doing this newsletter thing that included an author profile.  I suggested Carolyn Keene because Nancy Drew was amazing so obviously so was the author.  Then the librarian told me that Carolyn Keene wasn’t real and it broke my little reader heart.

Hi friends 💙 So we all know Geralt is from the Hi friends 💙

So we all know Geralt is from the school of the Wolf. However, there’s also the Cat (also known to produce “evil”), Bear, Griffin, Viper, Manticore, and Crane. I think I’d like to be part of the Wolf or the Bear or Viper schools to be honest!

That being said, what are some of your favorite books with animals in them?

Hope your Sunday is going well. I just finished by case brief and compare and contrast for my class, so I’m feeling rather accomplished right now.

What are you currently reading?

Right now I’m reading A Song of Wraiths and Ruins. It’s so good!

I’m excited to pick up this badass lady series as well.
