I'm Just Here to Read...

There are so many series in the world that we'll never be able to get to. So many books that we won't make time for, or we'll just never know about, and it got me thinking. I've read some of the big hard hitting children's books that are out there (Harry Potter, Percy Jackson) but I haven't read them all. I've not read The Northern Lights, I haven't read Eragon, A Series of Unfortunate Events, and many more that I haven't listed, and it got me thinking, I really want to read some series that I haven't read before. So I want to try it. I want to pick up one of the books I've never read and try it out, give an opinion on it. So, I'm going to try it. So, I am going to be trying one series per month, and trying the first book from that series. If I like it, I will continue, and if I don't, I'll move onto another one. I have some pretty high hopes for this because you hear a lot of good things about these books. And here's the ...

Title: The Princess and the Fangirl Author: Ashley Poston Publisher: Quirk Books Publishing Date: April 2nd 2019 Goodreads blurb: The Prince and the Pauper gets a modern makeover in this adorable, witty, and heartwarming young adult novel set in the Geekerella universe by national bestselling author Ashley Poston. Imogen Lovelace is an ordinary fangirl on an impossible mission: save her favorite character, Princess Amara, from being killed off from her favorite franchise, Starfield. The problem is, Jessica Stone - the actress who plays Princess Amara - wants nothing more than to leave the intense scrutiny of the fandom behind. If this year's ExcelsiCon isn't her last, she'll consider her career derailed. When a case of mistaken identity throws look-a-likes Imogen and Jess together, they quickly become enemies. But when the script from the Starfield sequel leaks, and all signs point to Jess, she and Imogen must trade places to find the person responsible. That...

Title: In an Absent Dream (Book 4 in The Wayward Children Series) Author: Seanan McGuire Publisher: Tor Books Publishing Date: January 8th 2019 Goodreads blurb: This fourth entry and prequel tells the story of Lundy, a very serious young girl who would rather study and dream than become a respectable housewife and live up to the expectations of the world around her. As well she should. When she finds a doorway to a world founded on logic and reason, riddles and lies, she thinks she's found her paradise. Alas, everything costs at the goblin market, and when her time there is drawing to a close, she makes the kind of bargain that never plays out well. Review: This is technically the eighth book I've read from Seanan McGuire (four of which are under her pen name, Mira Grant) and honestly, I find it difficult to say which is my favourite series, this or the Newsflesh series. I think it's fascinating as to how Seanan McGuire is able to craft a story, especiall...

I have read 26 books so far in 2019, which is more than I usually read. Since I've already read a lot this year, I wanted to give a summary of the books that I have read so far, a mini summary of what the books are, and what I thought of them. Let's start with January! In January I read 7 books. 1. Thunderhead by Neal Shusterman I listened to Thunderhead on audiobook, and thoroughly enjoyed it, it was a fantastic sequel, it's such an interesting concept, also the writing is super well done. It had me on the edge of my seat, and I'm so glad that book three is coming out soon! 2. Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo This was a reread for me, but I really enjoyed it. I jumped between the audiobook and the physical book, and it was a joy to read. The audiobook was so great because all of the narrators were incredible, and it was just fun to know what was going to happen (for the most part, it was a book I'd read a year or two ago) but still be surpris...

There are many times that I've tried to sit down and start a book blog. This is my fourth or fifth attempt. And each and every time I do, I fail miserably because I don't have the time or the energy to keep it up, or I haven't been reading enough to warrant it, or I don't read the right books...which I know is ridiculous because we can read whatever we want...but I guess I'm just hesitant that people will judge me. Anyway, I end up saying that I'm going to write more and I end up just failing. With this in mind, a friend of mine does a book blog and for the past few months has been telling me that I should get to writing one and that because I read so much it should be something I love. And I've honestly wanted to get back into it. So, because it is my birthday tomorrow I decided to try it out again, do at least two posts a week for the next year and see how it goes. I'm not putting pressure on myself, I'm not trying to get myself to stress abou...
