365 Days of Reading Lite
Eep. Sorry, Tumblr. I keep neglecting you.
But I just finished reading a really good book, so I thought I’d tell you about it. Remember Anna Dressed in Blood? Its sequel is being published this August (pictured above), and my goodness it’s great. It’s more character-focused than Anna, which I liked because the characters are one of the best parts of these books. Because of this focus, Girl of Nightmares isn’t as gory or horror-filled as its predecessor. It still manages to pack a punch, though. There’s a scene towards the end in a forest that made it difficult for me to sleep last night.
My next read is The Treachery of Beautiful Things, which looks promising. I’ll let you know my thoughts—if I remember. You know how I am.
I’ve been neglecting you, Tumblr followers! Here are the last few books I read, and what I thought of them (briefly):
- Unbreak My Heart by Melissa C. Walker: fun, hilarious, and sweet. I loved that the protagonist’s family was involved in the story. If you like adorable romance, you MUST buy this one in May.
- Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo: fantasy done right. Great world building on this one. Really looking forward to the next installment.
- For Darkness Shows the Stars by Diana Peterfreund: a retelling of Persuasion that goes above and beyond the label of “retelling”. I was seriously wowed by this one. So much love.
All of these were 5-star reads for me. Hopefully my current read doesn’t break the good-book streak!
Hope that makes up for my negligence! I’ll try to do more book instagramming soon. ;)
You know what’s awesome? Marissa Meyer’s Cinder. It completely knocked my socks off. Read my review here! (Or click the image above)
It’s in stores now, so you should definitely pick up a copy if you like the sound of cyborgs, Asian-influenced settings, and evil moon people.
