Does anyone else have a problem with follow through? I do. I fall in love with these series and then I need to have their sequels in my life and then I put off reading them. I don’t know why I do this, but it just seems to be something that happens. That being said, I did try my best to finish up some series I was reading and to continue one with some of the series I was reading. This post is a highlight reel of my top 5 best sequels I read in 2019.
Misc Monday | 27th Year Wrap Up
When I turned 27 at the end of 2018, I wrote a post featuring 27 books I wanted to read. That post can be found here. On my half-birthday, I did an update, which you can find here. This is my final update, because tomorrow I turn 28 and my 27th year has come to and end. So let’s see how I did. Which of the books that I hadn’t yet read at 27 and a half, have I now read? You’ll find out below the cut.
Ashley’s November Wrap Up
I had a rather interesting reading month this month! I thought I was having a bad one where I hadn’t read very many books, but I ended up reading 16, which is pretty good in my opinion. I also read my longest book of the year this month, and did okay at catching up on some series that I had been procrastinating on. Find out what I read below the cut!
Book Review | The Girl The Sea Gave Back by Adrienne Young
***Disclaimer: I received a free early access copy of The Girl the Sea Gave Back by Adrienne Young from NetGalley through Wednesday Books for review purposes. Thank you to Wednesday Books for sending me a gifted copy of the finished product!
When I heard that Adrienne Young was coming out with a book similar to her debut, Sky in the Deep, I knew I absolutely needed to read it! It was one of my most anticipated releases of 2019. After a bit of a hiccup in my reading, I was finally able to devour it in a short time.
Book Review | When Paris was Dark by YM Masson
**Disclaimer: I was kindly sent a free copy of When Paris Was Dark by Y.M. Masson in exchange for an honest review.
When Paris Was Dark by Y.M. Masson is a historical fiction account of the life of a young boy named Alain who lives in Paris during the German occupation in World War 2. It is inspired by events from the author’s own life. It was published on April 29th, 2019. I gave it three stars on Goodreads.
Ashley’s October Wrap Up
I love reading in October. As silly as it might sound, it gives me a good excuse to read spooky and creepy books and I am entirely here for it. They’re not always ones that I will pick up in the rest of the year, but I definitely indulged this month! I have to admit that I wasn’t amazing at sticking to my TBR for the month but I did end up reading 20 books and finally breaking 200 books read this month!
Book Review | The Family Upstairs by Lisa Jewell
**Disclaimer: I received an advanced reader’s copy of The Family Upstairs from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
The Family Upstairs by Lisa Jewell is an adult mystery thriller set in London. It is about a young woman named Libby who comes into an unexpected inheritance and an unexpected family history. The book is set to be published on November 5th. I gave it five stars on Goodreads.
Book Review | Love, Heather by Laurie Petrou
**Disclaimer: I received a free early access copy of Love, Heather from Crooked Lane Books and NetGalley for review purposes. Thank you to them for this opportunity.
Love, Heather by Laurie Petrou is a YA contemporary, with some mystery/thriller aspects, that draws inspiration from classic 80s revenge flicks. It is set in Canada and primarily revolves around a girl named Stevie who is a freshman in high school and struggling with certain social dynamics. I gave this book 4 stars on Goodreads. It publishes on October 8th.
Ashley’s September Wrap Up
September was a bad reading month for me if I compare it to the previous month. In August I read so many books, and I felt like I did a really good job. However, my circumstances changed a little as we moved into September, so I didn’t get nearly as much read. I suppose that’s what happens when you go back to work and there are lots of other commitments on my plate then I had in August. However, I have to remind myself that ## is still a good amount of books to read and that 30 in one month is pretty abnormal unless one is reading purely graphic novels. Anyways, lets jump into what I read under the cut.
Book Review: Aphrodite Made Me Do It by Trista Mateer
**Disclaimer: I received a free advanced reader copy of Aphrodite Made Me Do It by Trista Mateer from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to them for this opportunity.
Aphrodite Made Me Do It by Trista Mateer is a short poetry collection taking on the dual points of view of Aphrodite and the poet herself. It releases on October 1st. I gave it 4.5/5 stars, which I had to put down as a 4 on Goodreads.
