Misc Monday | Six Month 28th Year Reading Update

06.01.2020 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

My half birthday is on Wednesday so I thought we were about due for an update on the books I was planning on reading this year.  I haven’t done as well with this as I was hoping to, but at least there are still another six months until my birthday to attempt to finish it all up.

Writing Wednesday | Things I Learned from #YALLSTAYHOME

05.20.2020 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

There was one good thing that came out of this pandemic for me, and that was the fact that I was able to attend webinars for #YALLSTAYHOME.  YALLWEST/YALLFEST are events that I’ve always thought it would be fun to attend.  However, due to the nature of my job and the timing of the events, I have known that I will never be able to actually attend them.  Fortunately for me, the regular event was cancelled and then reformed as a virtual event where participants could tune in from the comfort of their own couches.  I was so excited to get the chance to hear some of my favourite writers speak.

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. 🙂

Book Review | You Let Me In by Camilla Bruce

04.18.2020 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

45046574**Disclaimer: I received a free early access reader’s copy of You Let Me In by Camilla Bruce in exchange for an honest review from NetGalley.  Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for this opportunity.

You Let Me In by Camilla Bruce is an adult novel that falls in sort of the mystery thriller genre.  However, it has some fantasy and horror elements as well.  It tells the story of Cassandra Tipp as she writes about her life before she mysteriously disappeared.  I gave it 4 stars on Goodreads.  You Let Me In releases on April 21st.

33643994._SY475_

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.

Wasn’t March just the longest month ever? I kept looking at the date on the calendar and being like how are we still in March?  However, it’s finally over and hopefully April will bring better things.  I read 19 books in March, which I feel pretty good about because I was somewhat slumpy for a good part of it.  You’ll find my thoughts below the cut.

Book Review | #bestiemademe | American Royals by Katharine McGee

Here is my March read for the #bestiemademe challenge: American Royals by Katharine McGee. Kari has been bugging me to read it for forever, as she read it super early on.  You can find her review here.  I genuinely don’t know why it took me so long to get to it, but it was a perfect read for me this month.  Again, it was another wonderful recommendation and one that I absolutely loved.  I gave it five stars as well.

Book Review | #bestiemademe | Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo

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.
