Hello everyone!
Wow, it’s the end of March already!? And it is almost April!? What is this!!!?
Seriously, March flew by for me. Before I know it, I’ll be seventy years old and rocking on a chair, shaking my head and mumbling, “It was like yesterday when I was just twenty-seven and typing my blog posts at the kitchen table…”
^That’ll be me, fifty years later :”)
Am I the only one who feels this way!? It terrifies me how quickly time passes and I just want to hang on to every single minute of it! Anyway, before we sink into philosophy territory, let’s get on with it 🙂
How is it that I read 9 books in February (which has 28 days) and only 4 books in March (which has 31 days!?)
I have no clue. :’) Though to cut myself some slack: 3 of these are pretty darn long, and most of these are also audiobooks, which take longer to read. (Yes, self, you are forgiven.)
Yes!! The long awaited Obsidio (The Illuminae Files #3) is FINALLY out! And it is such an AWESOME conclusion to the series. In this book, we are reunited with the old casts from Illuminae and Gemina, and introduced to some new characters as well. I love how the third book is just as packed with action and plot twists as its predecessors. I listened to the audiobook version, which is amazing! Review coming up!
Days of Blood and Starlight (Daughter of Smoke and Bone #2) is a stunning sequel for those who enjoyed the first book in the series! Check out my review here.
Though I enjoyed Everything Everything, The Sun is Also A Star was a disappointment for me. I liked the characters and the chemistry between them, but the plot points strike me as too unrealistic. Check out my review here.
Rebecca is a book that I’ve been wanting to read for a long, long time… And I finally did! I loved it so, SO much. It is truly a classic for a good reason: A romance, thriller, and commentary on gender norms all rolled up into one. I am always a bit intimidated by classics, but this one was quite easy to get into. Check out my review here.
