Ashley’s August Wrap Up

08.31.2020 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

August was a lighter reading month for me, and there really wasn’t all that much of a reason behind that.  I just didn’t read a lot, and instead did other things.  I will say that I ended up reading more physical copies that I usually do, which was neat. I also read a lot of different things at once, and didn’t finish them all. However, I did end up reading 16 books.  You’ll find everything I read below the cut.

Book Review | Harrow Lake by Kat Ellis

07.22.2020 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

**Disclaimer: I received a free advanced reader’s copy of Harrow Lake by Kat Ellis through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for this opportunity.

Harrow Lake by Kat Ellis is a stand-alone novel. It’s classified as a young adult horror novel and deals with some rather sensitive topics, so readers beware. It’s about a girl named Lola who is learning more about her family history in a rather spooky small town. Harrow Lake, according to NetGalley, is set to be published on August 25th, 2020. I gave it five stars on Goodreads.

Q: What’s on your TBR for March? . . A: These ar Q: What’s on your TBR for March?
.

A: These are my books for the March #tbrtacklechallenge prompts. I have two options for a classic because I’m not sure which I will read yet.  I also have some eARCs that I want to check out and some audiobooks signed out from the library.
.
.
I can’t believe it’s March already.  I feel like this year has been flying by.  Just two more weeks til spring break which marks a year since the start of the quarantining and locking down in my province.  We went off for spring break and didn’t come back for a few months.  It’s been a strange year but I’m ready for that time off.

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.
