Currently Reading

  • The Reading List by Sara Nisha Adams – audiobook
  • Jade Legacy (Green Bone Saga, #3) by Fonda Lee – physical book

I’m less than halfway through The Reading List and I’m already in love. Books about books are always good, but something about this one actually evokes the emotions and connections you make as a reader. I can’t explain it. I haven’t even finished this one yet and I already want to recommend it to anyone and everyone.

Jade Legacy is obviously the best. At this point, I truly think Fonda Lee can do no wrong. This series is so unique and interesting and I love every second of it. My only regret is that I hadn’t done a re-read before diving into this finale. There’s so much I’ve forgotten!

What did you recently finish reading?

  • House of Sky and Breath (Crescent City, #2)  by Sarah J. Maas – physical book
  • Firekeeper’s Daughter  by Angeline Boulley – audiobook, buddy read
  • The Luxe (Luxe, #1)  by Anna Godbersen – physical book, buddy read, re-read
  • Steelheart (The Reckoners, #1) by Brandon Sanderson – audiobook

I’ve had a really great reading month in March so far. We can say that I’ve been too busy reading and that’s why I haven’t been posting lately, HAHA! But it’s been a bit of a mixed bag in the books I’ve picked up. I was really disappointed by House of Hollow and Stalking Jack the Ripper. I have THOUGHTS about Sky and Breath (probably unpopular ones honestly), but I did enjoy Firekeeper’s Daughter and Luxe. 

What do you think you’ll read next?

  • Daughters of a Dead Empire  by Carolyn Tara O’Neil – ebook, ARC
  • Court (Crave, #4) by Tracy Wolff – physical book
  • A Tale of Magic (A Tale of Magic, #1) by Chris Colfer- physical book

  • Firekeeper’s Daughter  by Angeline Boulley – audiobook, buddy read
  • The Luxe (Luxe, #1)  by Anna Godbersen – physical book, buddy read

Still slowly making my way through Sky and Breath. I can’t speed read through this series, as they tend to be very dense with so much going on at once. Definitely the type of book to slowly savor, at least for me. I just started Firekeeper last night and am barely a couple of chapters into it, so not much of an opinion just yet on it. I have also started rereading Luxe. I first read this trilogy back during my freshman year of college and loved it. I don’t remember a whole lot about it, so it’ll be interesting to see how goes this time around!

What did you recently finish reading?

  • Our American Friend  by Anna Pitoniak – ebook, ARC
  • The Age of Witches  by Louisa Morgan – audiobook

I really enjoyed Our American Friend! I haven’t read any Cold War-centered fiction before (at least that I can recall), and so this was a unique perspective that I really enjoyed. I loved seeing how life could have been for those living under the Soviet regime. I definitely recommend this one if you’re in the mood for a different kind of historical fiction read.

Sadly, I cannot say I recommend Age of Witches. The story felt unnecessarily long with very slow pacing. The conflict wasn’t interesting, though I did like the characters.

Currently Reading

  • The Merciful Crow (Merciful Crow, #1) by Margaret Owen – ebook
  • Daughter of the King (Defying the Crown, #1) by Kerry Chaput – ARC, physical book
  • House of Earth and Blood (Crescent City, #1) by Sarah J. Maas – audiobook, reread

I’m in the middle of rereading (or listening to this time) Crescent City, so I’ll be ready for the sequel when it comes out later this month. I’m so glad I decided to reread because I had forgotten sooo much that had happened!

I’m also close to finishing up Daughter of the King.  While it’s a very well-researched book, the writing seems a bit dense and it’s taking me longer to finish than I thought it would. I also am pretty early on in The Merciful Crow but I’m loving it so far. It’s very interesting and after reading Owen’s latest book last fall, I know I’m in for a good time.

What did you recently finish reading?

  • A History of Wild Places by Shea Ernshaw – eARC
  • The Sandman, Part 1 by Neil Gaiman – full production audiobook, comic

I finished these two over the weekend and really enjoyed both of them. Wild Places was very intriguing and had me guessing what was going to happen next, thanks to all of the twists it kept throwing at me. I definitely recommend it! I’ll be posting a full review soon on it.

Gaiman is basically a writing god, so no surprise that his foray into DC comics was amazing. I loved all of the little details tying Morpheus’ story to the rest of the Justice League. If anything, this has only made me even more excited for the show adaptation coming to Netflix this year. It’ll be interesting to see if DC lets them keep all of the tie-ins to the greater JL universe.

What do you think you’ll read next?

  • Court (Crave, #4) by Tracy Wolff – physical book
  • Empire of the Vampire (Empire of the Vampire, #1) by Jay Kristoff – physical book
