Back to school season is upon us, and I’ve been back to work for a week now. What’s more relevant to back to school than a tag that has to do with backpacks? Though looking at the questions, I had to admit I’m not sure what they have to do with backpacks. Oh well, let’s just get into the questions.
Book Review | Rebel Girls by Elizabeth Keenan
**Disclaimer: I received a free advanced reader copy of Rebel Girls by Elizabeth Keenan from Harlequin Teen through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to them for the opportunity!
Rebel Girls by Elizabeth Keenan is a contemporary historical fiction novel set in the early 90s in Louisiana. It comes out on September 10th, 2019. I gave it four stars on GoodReads, but it’s more of a 4.5 star read.
Writing Wednesday | A Story Set in London
This week’s prompt is ‘A Story Set in London’. It is loosely inspired by things that happened when I went to London on a school trip when I was in high school. Fortunately not all of these things happened to me.
The story is below the cut. (CW for vomit.)
Ashley’s September TBR
August was just such a rigorous reading month that I’m going to slacken the reins a bit with my September TBR. I’m not participating in any readathons, so my expectations for myself will be less limiting and I can read whatever I want. That being said, I do have some books I want to get to and you will find them below the cut!
Ashley’s August Wrap Up
This was a crazy reading month. I participated in the NEWTs Readathon hosted by Book Roast. It was a super fun reading roller coaster and I managed to get a lot of books read. I really enjoyed almost everything I read, and I loved how this readathon pushed me to get a lot of my TBR completed, even if I did change out a lot of my original TBR. In August I read 30 books, which means I read all but 6 prompts from the readathon and successfully reached my goal to be an Auror. Catch out my run down for what I read under the cut.
Ashley’s August Haul
Another month, another haul. Somehow I keep acquiring books, but I was really good about buying books this month. I only got three new books, and two were very kindly sent to me by publishers. While I haven’t read any of them yet, I am very excited about all of them. Check them out below the cut!
Top 5 Thursday | Five Random Thoughts
Sometimes when I’m not reading or doing something that is particularly mentally engaging, I find my mind drifting. I often have random thoughts that I really can’t explain. So here are five random thoughts that I’ve had recently:
Tag Tuesday | Chess and Book Tag
Chess has never been my favourite game, as I lack the strategy and planning skills for it. However, this is a pretty cool tag. Some of the questions feel pretty unique to me.
Chapter Sampler Review | Pumpkinheads by Rainbow Rowell and Faith Erin Hicks
**Disclaimer: I received a free chapter sampler of Pumpkinheads by Rainbow Rowell and Faith Erin Hicks from First Second Books through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to them.
Pumpkinheads is a YA contemporary graphic novel that is hitting shelves on August 27th. As this was a chapter sampler, I do not have a full rating for you, however, I did enjoy it.
