Ashley’s May TBR

05.02.2020 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

And here we are in May, and I genuinely don’t know where the time went. April was one of those months that went incredibly quickly, but yet also seemed to drag on. I also participated in two readathons which made me have this crazy incredible reading month. I don’t think that I will have that good of a reading month this time around, and I’m definitely putting far less pressure on myself to read a ton. However, I do still have some reading plans for the month of May, and you’ll find them below the cut.

Ashley’s April Wrap Up

05.01.2020 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

This was a crazy reading month for me. I felt really slumpy back in March and then had to transition into working from home. I expected that I wouldn’t really get a lot of reading done this month despite participating in both the OWLs Magical Readathon and our Loyal Book-a-Thon. I figured I’d read those, and that would be about it. However, I ended up getting through a lot of books and finished off both readathons pretty early in the month. Working from home meant that I could listen to audiobooks while working, and it’s made me a lot more efficient reader. So I’m pretty proud of the fact that in April I read 34 books/novellas. You’ll find everything I read below the cut. 🙂

Ashley’s April Haul

04.29.2020 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

What a weird month this has been! I’ve been doing a ton of reading, but not a lot of book buying, which is probably for the best. However, I did still end up with some books this month so we’re going to do a quick and dirty haul for you today.

Book Review | #bestiemademe | Daughter of the Pirate King by Tricia Levenseller

04.13.2020 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

April’s #bestiemademe read is Daughter of the Pirate King by Tricia Levenseller! I listened to this one as an audiobook, just to switch it up from the usual style I’ve done for reading the previous #bestiemademe books. Daughter of the Pirate King is a YA fantasy novel about, you guessed it, the daughter of the pirate king, Alosa. I rated it four stars on Goodreads.

Tag Tuesday | Five Finger Tag

I love how people draw inspiration for these bookish tags from the most everyday of things. Personally there are some things I would change on this tag, but it’s not mine so I’m rolling with the punches here. Check out my answers below the cut.

Hello, friends! Kari and I are excited to introduce a new feature of our blog: The Loyal Book Club. Every couple of months, we will choose a book to feature as our book club read. We will schedule dates that parts of the book need to be read by and open up a discussion chat on instagram. This month it is going to coincide with our inaugural session of The Loyal Book-a-thon! This is our first time doing this on the blog, and our first book is The Shadowglass by Rin Chupeco.

Tag Tuesday | Books and Elements Tag

Avatar: The Last Airbender is one of my favourite shows. I know it’s technically a show for children but I really appreciated the way it dealt with serious issues. That’s why I really like the idea behind this tag. You can see my answers to the element themed questions below the cut.

Book Review | #bestiemademe | Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo

03.15.2020 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo is the second book I read for the #bestiemademe challenge that Kari and I are doing. Kari loved it, so she’s been bugging me to read it for awhile. I read this in February and finished it in early March, and I was very grateful for the recommendation because I absolutely loved this book and rated it 5 stars.

Misc Monday | Fae Crate Thorns and All Hangover Recovery Crate Unboxing

I was so excited when I found out about this box. A Court of Thorns and Roses is a really cool series and I enjoyed the world building and the characters. Lately a lot of my friends are reading this and it’s giving me a lot of need to reread it. I especially need to reread it after getting this box.
