February Wrap-Up: Reviews, Reading Challenges, etc.

Another great reading month for me! I can’t believe I’ve started off this year doing so well with my reading. Usually I have at least hit one or two reading slumps by this time but that hasn’t been the case so far! I think it may be due to the fact that I’ve gone back to posting regularly on my bookstagram account, as well as joining a couple of Instagram groups that have helped keep me motivated. Makes me so happy to be having such a successful reading year so far!

Did you get a lot of reading done in February? Were you able to read all of the books on your TBR? Did you read any new favorites? What book did you like the least? What do you plan on reading in March?

The 2020 Bookish Academy Awards

I first saw this on PeruseProject booktube channel. She does this post every year and I always think it looks like so much fun that this year I decided I had to play along. I’m pretty bad about watching the real awards show mostly to see what everyone is wearing, as the awards tend to drag a bit and everyone feels like they need to spend 10 mins on a speech. But an awards show for books? Sign my butt up.

And just for the sake of these winners, I’m sticking to books that I have read in the last year.

Best Actor (Best Male Protagonist)

29226553._SY475_

Lysander – Dark Age (Red Rising, #5) by Pierce Brown

That’s right, I said it! I really think Lysander took over in this one. There’s something about his character that just fascinates me every time he’s on the page. I don’t really know what to expect from him in the next book.

Best Actress (Best Female Protagonist)

34219873

Morrigan – The Trials of Morrigan Crow (Nevermoor, #1) by Jessica Townsend

This little girl is who I aspire to be like. She’s feisty, sarcastic, and pretty street smart for being only 11 years old. I just love everything about her, especially that sassy personality of hers.

Best Cinematography (Best Plot Twist)

39348113

Skyward (Skyward, #1) by Brandon Sanderson

I don’t want to spoil anything for the people who haven’t read this book… but oh. my. god. That ending had me shooketh. I finally bought the sequel the other day so I get to find out what Spensa is going to do next.

Best Costume Design (Best Book Cover)

39897058

The Fever King (Feverwake, #1) by Victoria Lee

I mean, just look at that cover. It’s gorgeous. It has all of my favorite colors in it – purple, blue, violet, aqua. I just love everything about it, especially since it’s still fairly simple.

Best Supporting Actress (Best Female Sidekick)

32075853

The Sikh Widows – Erotic Stories for Punjabi Widows by Balli Kaur Jaswal

Each of these ladies in this book are so precious. They’re funny, strong, and full of wisdom. I loved the stories that they come up with and how it shows how full of life and imagination that they have. They were constantly surprising me, just like they were surprising Nikki.

Best Supporting Actor (Best Male Sidekick)

42771754

Max – Supernova (Renegades, #3) by Marissa Meyer

I love sweet Max. He tries so hard to help however he can, even though he’s kept out of harm’s way. I really loved how we finally get to see him come into his own in this finale.

Best Original Screenplay (Most Unique Plot/World)

43575115._SY475_

The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern

I can’t even begin to describe the whimsical world that Morgenstern created in this book.  It seems so real while you’re reading it. I just wanted to get lost in the library, reading all of the books and experiencing the magic myself amongst the stacks.

Best Adapted Screenplay (Best Book-to-Movie Adaptation)

MV5BY2QzYTQyYzItMzAwYi00YjZlLThjNTUtNzMyMDdkYzJiNWM4XkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyMTkxNjUyNQ@@._V1_SY1000_CR0,0,674,1000_AL_

Little Women by Greta Gerwig

I mean, obviously.

Best Animated Feature (Best Graphic Novel)

I’ve only read one graphic novel and that was a few years ago, so unfortunately I don’t have a winner for this year. Maybe next time!

Best Director (Writer You Just Discovered)

39863482

Yangsze Choo

Choo is an amazing writer. I love that she focuses on Asian historical fiction, which is something that I’ve never really read about before. After reading The Night Tiger, I definitely plan to read every book that she ever writes.

Best Visual Effects (Best Action in a Book)

30075662._SY475_

Aurora Rising (The Aurora Cycle, #1) by Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff

I found this series to be super exciting from start to finish. I love how all of the crew members play a part in the action with their different specialties. We can only expect that to continue even more in the next book.

Best Musical Score (Best Music in an Adaptation)

3606754-witcher poster

“Toss a Coin to Your Witcher”, anyone? Hells yes.

Best Short Film (Best Novella or Short Book)

And again, I didn’t read any novellas this past year. I think I’ve only ever read one in my entire life, if I’m being honest. I just prefer a full story and not something barely a 100 pages long.

Best Picture (Best Standalone)

reid_9781524798628_jkt_all_r1.indd

Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid

I don’t know if I would’ve felt the same way about this book had I read it instead of listen to the audiobook version. However, I am so glad I did. It felt like I was truly listening to a real episode of Behind the Music, especially with it being narrated by a full cast. I can’t wait for the movie adaptation.

Best Documentary (Best Historical Fiction)

7315573

Fall of Giants (The Century Trilogy, #1) by Ken Follett

This book was everything that I could ask for in a novel. It’s full of political intrigue, family dynamics, romance, and amazingly accurate historical details. I plan to pick up the sequel very soon!

Are you a fan of the Oscars? What books would you choose to be winners? Do you agree with any of my picks?

 

WWW Wednesday – February 12th, 2020

Welcome to WWW Wednesday which is currently being hosted by Sam @ Taking On A World of Words. It’s really just a place to do little update on what all you’ve been reading lately. Anyone is welcome to join, just leave a link to your post in the comments and be sure to give the appropriate credit to Sam!

The Three W’s are:

  • What are you currently reading?
  • What did you recently finish reading?
  • What do you think you’ll read next?

What are you currently reading?

  • Kingsbane (Empirium, #2) by Claire Legrand – physical book
  • The Thorn Birds by Colleen McCullough – physical book
  • The Guinevere Deception (Camelot Rising, #1) by Kiersten White – audiobook

I’m only about 50 pages into Kingsbane so I don’t really have much of an opinion so far but I expect things to start happening very soon. I’m also over halfway through The Guinevere Deception. It’s an interesting story so far but I feel like something is missing. It needs a bit more action and more interaction between Guinevere and Arthur. And I’m still slowly making my way through The Thorn Birds. The story is picking up a bit more and I feel like Meggie has finally found a purpose with her life… how long that lasts though is the real question.

What did you recently finish reading?

  • Dark Age (Red Rising, #5) by Pierce Brown – physical book
  • Suggested Reading by David Connis – audiobook

Of course I absolutely loved Dark Age. This series keeps getting more and more complicated with all of the characters trying to survive. That ending has me super freaking exited to see what Pierce has planned for the next book.

Suggested Reading was a bit of a letdown for me. I didn’t particularly care for the main character, nor did I feel very satisfied with the overall plot. I had such high hopes for this one but it just didn’t live up to them.

What do you think you’ll read next?

  • Radiance by Catherynne M. Valente – physical book
  • Before the Devil Breaks You (The Diviners, #3) by Libba Bray – physical book
  • The Vine Witch (Vine Witch, #1) by Luanne G. Smith – audiobook

What are you currently reading?

  • The Thorn Birds by Colleen McCullough – physical book
  • Dark Age (Red Rising, #5) by Pierce Brown – physical book
  • Suggested Reading by David Connis – audiobook

I did make some more progress in The Thorn Birds over the weekend. But man, that book was upsetting me so much that I decided to start on Dark Age to help break it up some. Except ever since then, I can’t put Dark Age down. This book has got hook line and sinker. Which I should have known would happen since this series is probably my all-time favorite, right up next to Harry Potter… Yes, you read that right. Seriously people, if you haven’t read it, DO IT.

I also started listening to Suggested Reading, which you can definitely tell is written by someone who loves books. It’s a really interesting story so far, though I do find the dialogue to be a little much. I think Connis is writing like he thinks high school students talk and not how they actually do. Though to be fair, that’s super normal in YA books and reminds me of another writer *cough* John Green *cough*.

What did you recently finish reading?

  • Lilac Girls by Martha Hall Kelly – physical book, buddy read
  • Furyborn (Emipirium Trilogy, #1) by Claire Legrand – audiobook, reread

I really enjoyed both of these books. I had previously read the physical book of Furyborn and really enjoyed it. It was a much different experience listening to the audio version and not sure I really liked it that way. The narrator kind of annoyed me. However, I’m super excited I decided to revisit the story so I can finally pick up the sequel this month.

I loved Lilac Girls. It was a very different kind of WWII novel and I loved that it visited it from a different perspective than the usual.  It was definitely a heavy read in some places and every chapter ends in a cliffhanger so you’re on the edge of your seat the entire time. Definitely worth the read if you enjoy historical fiction novels!

What do you think you’ll read next?

  • Kingsbane (Emipirium Trilogy, #2) by Claire Legrand – physical book
  • The Guinevere Deception by Kiersten White – audiobook
  • Radiance by Catherynne M. Valente – physical book

My February TBR

February is going to be a month where I try and focus on a bunch of sequels/series that I need to catch up on. So I plan to try and get through a few of those this month, while sticking to standalones for the most part when it comes to my audiobooks. I really want to mix up the genres too so I don’t get too bogged down on any one for too long. Let’s see if that keeps me from falling into any sort of reading slump!

February TBR

  • Suggested Reading by David Connis – audiobook
  • Kingsbane (Empirium Trilogy, #2) by Claire Legrand – physical book
  • Valiant (Modern Faerie Tales, #2) by Holly Black – physical book

  • Winter of the World (The Century Trilogy, #2) by Ken Follett – physical book
  • The Vine Witch (Vine Witch, #1) by Luanne G. Smith – audiobook
  • Dark Age (Red Rising, #5) by Pierce Brown – physical book
  • Before the Devil Breaks You (The Diviners, #3) by Libba Bray – physical book

What do you plan on reading in February? Do you have a lot of sequels or series that you haven’t caught up on yet? Have you read any of the books on my TBR? If so, what did you think of it?

January Wrap-Up: Reviews, Reading Challenges, etc.

I’m actually proud of starting off the new reading year fairly strong. My main goal this year was to not let myself get bogged down by trying to cram as many books into it as possible. I want to actually focus on what I really want to read, even if it’s a long book (which were the majority of my reads this month). And if January was any indication, I think I’m doing a pretty good job so far. Isn’t it a nice feeling when you take the pressure off yourself?

Anyone is welcome to join, just leave a link to your post in the comments and be sure to give the appropriate credit to Sam!

The Three W’s are:

  • What are you currently reading?
  • What did you recently finish reading?
  • What do you think you’ll read next?

What are you currently reading?

  • City of Lies (Poison War, #1) by Sam Hawke – physical book
  • Lilac Girls by Martha Hall Kelly – physical book, buddy read
  • Furyborn (Emipirium Trilogy, #1) by Claire Legrand – audiobook, reread

I’ve FINALLY started on my reread (or listen) to Furyborn, so I can refresh my memory on what happened in the first book before moving on to the sequel. I do remember absolutely loving it though! I’m not the biggest fan of the audio narrator so far, but I don’t think it will affect my experience too much.

I also am picking back up with City of Lies after putting it aside last week for The Starless Sea. I think I’m finally able to really buckle down and focus on this fantasy world. I’ve also started on Lilac Girls that I’m buddy reading with Britt @ Geronimo Reads. I’m fully expecting to need tissues beside me at some point. I’m a little over 100 pages into it and am already completely drawn into the lives of these three badass women.

What did you recently finish reading?

  • Iron Gold (Red Rising, #4) by Pierce Brown – audiobook
  • The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern – physical book

I absolutely freaking adored The Starless Sea! It was so much more than what I was originally expecting, as I didn’t particularly like The Night Circus. However, this book was so whimsical and basically an ode to the magic of stories, that I connected with it immediately. My full review will be posted tomorrow!

I also finally completely my reread (or listen) of Iron Gold and I’m so glad I chose the audiobook route for my reread of the entire series. The narrators are all amazing and I felt a completely different connection to the story this time around. It was truly a fantastic experience and highly recommend anyone interested to check it out. I can’t wait to dive into Dark Age next.

Side Note: I did attempt to listen to the audiobook of The Candle and the Flame by Nafiza Azad, but unfortunately I knew I wouldn’t connect with the writing style within the first 20 minutes. So I’ve decided to DNF that novel for now.

What do you think you’ll read next?

  • The Bear and the Nightingale (Winternight Trilogy, #1) by Katherine Arden – physical book
  • The Thorn Birds by Colleen McCullough – physical book
  • Suggested Reading by David Connis – audiobook

The Three W’s are:

  • What are you currently reading?
  • What did you recently finish reading?
  • What do you think you’ll read next?

What are you currently reading?

  • Iron Gold (Red Rising, #4) by Pierce Brown – audiobook
  • The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern – physical book
  • City of Lies (Poison War, #1) by Sam Hawke – physical book

I am finally making real progress with Iron Gold. This book is everything that I remember it being when I read it the first time. It’s full bitterness, action, regret, and hope. I still find Lysander’s chapters to be my favorite and not the biggest fan of Lyria’s. She’s always whining and refusing to open her mind to other viewpoints than her own.

I’m only about 75 pages into City of Lies. There’s a lot going on and it’s one of those stories that you’re just dropped in the middle of without any real background. It’s a little hard to follow and wish it came with a foreword or prologue. However, the plot is interesting so I do plan to keep with it.

I decided to pick up another book to help break up the dense City of Lies… and oh my gosh, The Starless Sea is so freaking good. I don’t want to put it down ever. It is everything that The Night Circus wasn’t (actually being interesting). Depending on how the rest of the story goes, I expect this to be a new favorite book.

What did you recently finish reading?

  • The Lioness of Morocco by Julia Drosten – audiobook, 4/5 stars
  • The Wicked City by Beatriz Williams – physical book, 3/5 stars

I enjoyed both of these books. I much preferred The Lioness of Morocco though, as it was my first translated novel ever. I also loved that the setting was unique and not some place that I had ever gotten to learn about through a novel. It definitely makes me want to visit Morocco even more now! The Wicked City was good but the writing style left a little to be desired, as I think Williams was trying to go for style over substance in her 1920’s timeline.

What do you think you’ll read next?

  • The Bear and the Nightingale (Winternight Trilogy, #1) by Katherine Arden – physical book
  • The Candle and the Flame by Nafiza Azad – audiobook
  • Lilac Girls by Martha Hall Kelly – physical book, buddy read

I’m about a third of the way through The Wicked City and the plot is starting to pick up. It’s a really interesting concept and I can’t wait to see how the two different timelines come together. I think I’m in for a wild ride, especially in Gin’s POV.

Your Blogging/Bookish Life

New favorite book blog/Bookstagram/Youtube channel you discovered in 2019?

I have done a terrible job keeping up with the bookish community this past year. Maybe that’s why I was affected by so many reading slumps – I wasn’t keeping myself hyped up.

Favorite post you wrote in 2019?

If You Liked That…Read This: Historical Fiction Edition

Favorite bookish related photo you took in 2019?

Ummm, I did not take one. Oops!

Best bookish event that you participated in (author signings, festivals, virtual events,  etc.)?

Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to make it to BookCon this past year but I was able to participate in the blog tour for Songs from the Deep!

Best moment of bookish/blogging life in 2019?

Probably when I finally reach over 1000 followers on my blog. I don’t really promote it a whole lot so it’s been nice to see it grow so much this year.

Most challenging thing about blogging or your reading life this year?

My reading life took a bit of a hit this year from going into so many random reading slumps, which has really affected my will to actually post regularly. It’s something I’m really hoping to not have an issue with this coming year.
