WWW Wednesday

Hey guys! I skipped last week’s WWW Wednesday as I hadn’t started a lot of new books. But guess what, this week I was finally able to read some new books!

What I’ve read last week:

The Twice-Drowned Prince is a short retelling of The Little Mermaid. And what an excellent one it was!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh god oh god oh god Radical was such an amazing sequel! I can’t wait to start the third book in the Clandestine Magic Trilogy!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I AM NOT OKAY WITH THIS BOOK.

What I’m currently reading:

 

 

 

 

 

 

I’m currently at about 1/3 and loving it so far! I believe the plot is starting at this point. And Sloane you are what I aspire to be.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Still at the first chapter 🙁 I REALLY want to continue but I had some catching up to do with a lot of things. Hopefully I’ll be able to finish it this week!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Started this for a blog tour organized by The Write Reads! I’m only at 8% of the book but I’m loving it so far!

What I’ll be reading next week:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Shadow Curse sounds so promising!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Can we all just talk about this STUNNING cover?!?!?! GOD I can’t wait to start!

 

What are your WWW Wednesday books? Let me know in the comments!

WWW Wednesday

What I’ve read last week:

WHAT A BOOK. I loved it. It reminded me of ACOTAR but with a sassy heroine, and sassy heroines are my favourite!

 

What I’m currently reading:

I’m still getting used to the unique setting of the book, but it’s looking good so far!

I loved the first book by J.M. Frey and I hope this one will be just as good as the first one.

I’m not sure yet if anthologies are my thing… I have a hard time starting a new story every day and it makes it even harder for me to pick up new books.

 

What I’ll be reading next week:

I really enjoyed Subversive, the first book in the Clandestine Magic trilogy and can’t wait to start the sequel, Radical!

This will be my first reread of A Court of Wings and Ruin. Rereading the series will make me enjoy A Court of Silver Flames so much more!

 

WWW Wednesday

Hey guys! It’s time for my second WWW wednesday. I’m starting to read more and more these days, and I feel like I should definitely enjoy it before I start working 36 hours a week next week! How do you combine work and reading without neglecting your other duties? Please let me know!

What I’ve read:

Wiving by Caitlin Myer is a beautifully written memoir. I will definitely be thinking about this book for a while. A review will be posted here soon!

I listened to the Audiobook of Beauty and the Beast by Vivienne Savage. The retelling is enjoyable and fine. I did however love the fact that the Beast is a dragon here!

The Chalice and the Crown by Kassandra Flamouri has an incredibly unique way of storytelling. A review will be posted tomorrow!

What I’m currently reading:

I’m currently busy with my third reread of A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah. J. Maas. Just like during my first read, I can’t put it down. I just love this series too much.

The Cousins by Karen M. McManus is the first of her books I’m reading. It’s hard to put down and if the book stays this interesting, I’ll definitely read her other books!

Why oh why didn’t I read this sooner. I’m listening to the audiobook of Rhapsodic by Laura Thalassa and IT’S AMAZING. The narrator is talented as well and I can just hear the sassiness in her voice. It reminds me so much of the ACOTAR series that I wish I read this in my ACOTAR hangover.

After finishing The Skylark’s Song, I couldn’t wait to start The Skylark’s Sacrifice by J. M. Frey. I’m currently a few chapters in but I don’t know what to think of it just yet.

Just like 2 weeks ago, I’ve only read the first chapter. I may have to reread that first chapter before I go on with the rest of the book.

What I’ll be reading next:

I can’t wait to start the following books!

What are your WWW Wednesday books?

Love,

WWW Wednesday

Hey guys! From now on, I’ll be posting a WWW Wednesday post every 2 weeks, so you’ll know what I’m up to when it comes to reading. I don’t know who created WWW Wednesday, so if you do, please let me know so I can give them credits in my following WWW Wednesday posts!

What I’ve finished reading:

I’m currently doing a re-readalong for the ACOTAR series, organized by the SJM Collectors Community on Facebook! We’re all preparing for the release of A Court of Silver Flames by rereading the whole series, and started A Court of Thorns and Roses in Oktober. It was actually my third reread of the series and now that I noticed the foreshadowing, I loved it even more. ❤

The Skylark’s Song and Subversive were both books I read to review, so you’ll see the reviews soon enough on my blog! In short: I enjoyed both books tremendously and I can’t wait to start their  sequels. I’ll leave the rest of the info for my review posts. 😉

What I’m currently reading:

I’m reading Midnight Sun together with a group of friends, but I haven’t picked it up in a while unfortunately. I’m definitely enjoying it, but I feel like I would have enjoyed it even more if I’d done a reread of the Twilight series before I started it.

Wiving is definitely not my usual genre. The author approached me and I was willing to give it a try. It’s different but I think it’s good for me to read something different for once. Unfortunately, it’s also the reason that I’ve been much slower in reading this book. It’s worth it though, so I’m taking my time to read it thoroughly.

I’ve actually only read the first chapter of How to Break an Evil Curse. I’m not sure if I’m going to keep on reading it now, or give priority to some other books I’ve been dying to read.

Beauty and the Beast is a retelling of, well, Beauty and the Beast. I bought it impulsively for my Kindle as it was on sale and The Beauty and the Beast is my favorite fairytale. I’m enjoying the audiobook, but as I started reading the reviews, I noticed that someone classified it under erotica and that the author emphasized that it was an adult retelling. I guess I won’t be listening to it in public.😂

I’ve been reading The Purple Haze for FOREVER, but I had to put it down due to exams. I’m excited to pick it up again this week, because I did really enjoy it. It’s YA fantasy, but incredibly different from other books. It’s funny and witty, whilst still being filled with adventure and mystery.

What I’ll be reading next:

For the Ultimate Blog Tour organized by The Write Reads, I’ll be reading The Cousins! It’s my first book of Karen McManus, despite seeing her books in all book stores nearby.

The Chalice and the Crown has been sitting on my Netgalley shelf for waaaaayy too long. I completely forgot about it, and I might give it priority over How to Break an Evil Curse right now.

A Court of Mist and Fury is the next book for the ACOTAR re-readalong. I’ll be reading it in November, but as it’s in my top 5 of favorite books (to be honest, I don’t even know what the order of my top 5 is), I’ll probably be finishing it before the end of November.

Why did you start blogging? & Why have you kept blogging?

I joined the Facebook group YA Book Stop – YABS to try out reviewing books on Goodreads. That’s when I found out that I really enjoy doing it. Thinking that my opinion didn’t really matter, I didn’t dare to take the plunge and start a blog. Fortunately for me, my friends convinced me otherwise! I started my blog to review books, but when I joined book Twitter, I found out that there are so many other things that I can post as well. I’m currently making a list of blog ideas to use in the future😊

The reason why I kept blogging is the community. I love seeing the support writers, bloggers, booktubers and so many others give each other. It’s a wonderful community and I’m glad to be a part of it.

What is your favorite type of blog post to write?

So far, I’ve only posted reviews and book tags. As I mentioned before, I’m currently making a list of other kinds of posts. It won’t be long before they come!

To answer the question, I’d say book tags. It’s a way to connect with the community and I love seeing what others write!

What are your top three favorite blog posts you wrote?

My three favorite blog posts are all ‘firsts’, so here they are:

What are some of your favorite things to do to relax?

  • Dancing. When I dance, I forget everything that’s on my mind.
  • Being around water. It doesn’t matter if I swim, relax on the beach, sail or go scuba diving, water relaxes me.
  • Horse riding in the forest. Just like dancing, I forget everything that’s on my mind. The forest is beautiful and the steady walk of the horse relaxes me.
  • Last but not least, reading. Do I even have to explain?

What are three of your favorite things?

  • The first snow of the year.
  • Lightning.
  • Cinnabon. I wish we had one nearby😭

What are your proudest blogging moments?

I’d say starting my blog. It took a lot of courage, but I’m glad I did it.

What are your hobbies outside of blogging?

  • Reading.
  • Ballroom and latin dancing.

Describe your personality in three words

  • Naive.
  • Forgiving.
  • Open-minded.

What are your top three pet peeves?

  • Holes in socks.
  • Being blamed when I’m not guilty.
  • People stealing my food. I get annoyed even just thinking about it.

What’s something your followers don’t know about you?

I’m a plant killer. I don’t know how to keep them alive, they just keep dying on me!😭
