Authors A-Z: K-L-M-N-O // Top 5 Tuesday

Hi, hey, hello and happy Tuesday!

So today we’re back for another round of Authors A-Z 🙂 But first … Lockdown Update. Feel free to skip to the good bits but I think it would be pretty cool to have this documented because everything that’s going on right now is crazy.

• Today is day 2 or day 3 of lockdown? I don’t actually know when it officially began but no family arguments have kicked off yet.
• Online classes are … great? Yesterday morning I woke up at 8. Stayed in bed to check my french class at 8:30. Showered super chill before doing my Latin homework for that day then did Latin & Greek class over WhatsApp for 2 hours. Fun.
• I’m sending TikToks to anyone and everyone. I may be addicted.
• I finished an ARC and I’m watching the last episode of Elite season 2 as I type.
• We played Monopoly. I won. Nobody cried. A miracle!
• And a super sweet thing everyone is doing is at 8pm we all go out on our balconies and give a huge, well deserved round of applause to the medical personal.

But anyways, moving on from that. Let’s jump into authors K-O

Did I Read my Most Anticipated Reads of 2019?

Hi, hey, hello and welcome to my blog 🙂

So today I thought we’d take a walk down memory lane and have a look to see if I read my Most Anticipated 2019 releases and my Intriguing Releases of 2019 which was a list of books I knew next to nothing about but the covers or a quick glance over the synopsis had me interested.

I’m looking forward to seeing what I thought and if I even still want to read some of them.

Instant Buy Authors

Hello and welcome to my blog 🙂

Today I’m going to be talking about a few of my Instant Buy Authors. I will be leaving out the more obvious ones like Rick Riordan and Cassandra Clare. I sold my soul to these two authors years ago and it doesn’t need to be mentioned again.

But joining the ranks of “people who own my soul” are:

June Wrap Up

Hey. Hi. Hello! Welcome to my blog and happy July!

Like wow isn’t that crazy? I’m planning on reading a whole lot this July and taking full advantage of my time off but before I get ahead of myself I’m going to be talking about the 11 books I read this month.

Yeah I finished a whole 11 books this month. I don’t exactly know how since June was a month filled with exams but I’m not complaining.

• Superior by Jessica Lack– I kicked off pride month with a super cute short story following a superhero’s intern and a supervillains apprentice. It was absolutely adorable and a great fast read that helped me relax through exam stress I just really wish it had been longer. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
• The Silver Mask by Holly Black and Cassandra Clare- This is book number 4 in the Magisterium trilogy and although I enjoy this series when reading I am finding that it’s a pretty average read unfortunately. Only 1 book to go though. ⭐⭐⭐
• History is All You Left Me by Adam Silvera– I’m really sad to say that me and this book just did not mesh. On one hand I love the representation and the fact that these characters do have faults and aren’t perfect but really I just didn’t connect with this book which left me really disappointed especially since this book is so hyped. ⭐⭐

The Perfect Summer Reads🍦

Hello and welcome to my blog!

I’m currently 1 week into the summer holidays and I’ve got to say that I’m having a blast. My life no longer revolves around late night studying, early morning wake ups and me drowning in exams. No, instead I can stay up all night reading or playing sims and eating my weight in ice-cream.

It’s amazing.

And so I figured I’d use my current summery mood to scour my shelfs and find some books that I think are perfect to read this summer 🙂

1- Aristotle and Dante by Benjamin Alire Saenz

I Got Stuck In England Book Haul :)

Hello and Happy Friday 🙂

So, this time last week I was freezing my arse off in my home country of England. I was meant to be there for four days but after a two hour drive to the airport it turned out my flight had been cancelled!

Although stressful, and cold I did end up having a good time and most importantly I got books! I always get a Christmas in the middle of February/March because that’s when my dad sends my gift and this year I got a few books out of it!

February TBR

I know everyone says this, every single month but seriously, how is it February!

I had a great reading month in January and I’m hoping I can continue that on this month, even with my trip to England at the end of the month.

I actually have a TBR for February, something that never happens because I never stick to them but I’m being organised for the first time in my life and I have a list of four books I want to read:

Most Anticipated 2019 Releases // Top 5 Wednesday

 

I can’t believe it’s this time already. 2019 is right around the corner and I’m stressing because time is flying by! The good thing about time going by so fast though is all the books coming out next year that I cannot wait for!

All weekly topics can be found HERE.

Also there are more then 5 on this list because like I said there are just SO many I couldn’t narrow it down.

1- A Girl Called Shameless by Laura Steven.

This is the sequel to The Exact Opposite of Okay, a book I have not shut up about at all. I am so excited about this release especially because its a perfect excuse to reread the first book too. Also look at that cover!

❄Winter Bookish Bingo❄

🎙Baby it’s cold outside … and I plan on hiding in my house with tea and books! 
(I’m living out my love for snow in this gif because I live in Spain and there’s no snow here unless I drive three hours to the mountains)

This past autemn I took part in the Fall Bookish Bingo and I loved it so much that I’m back for winter too. This is hosted by Pretty Deadly Reviews.
