Continue reading Weekly Wrap Up – Sunday 4/7/2019On October 23rd, 2018, Sarah J. Maas released Kingdom of Ash, the eighth and final book in the Throne of Glass series. She had indicated then that she was working on a new series that will no longer be for Young Adults, but this time, her series will be an adult fiction.
As you may know, her two series, Throne of Glass and A Court of Thorns and Roses, have always been more on the adult side than YA due to her legendary sex scenes. The plot may be YA, but these specific scenes tended to push her books in the adult realm. So it’ll be interesting to see what she will do with this new series.

End of January 2019, I decided to start book blogging. IÂ had been toying with this idea for a while, but I’ve always wondered if it was for me. Blogging takes a lot of time, and consistency is very important. To be honest, I wasn’t sure I would enjoy it after a first failed attempt last year, but I do. It’s easier for me to book blog than to discuss topics I felt ill-equiped to discuss. I love book blogging so much, and today, a month and a half later, I’m celebrating a milestone with you.

I’ve said it before: this year is out of control. How are we already in December? I have no control over time, but I can control what I do with what’s left of it. As you may know, I love pushing myself, and this month, I’ve decided to challenge myself through reading goals. Each year, we begin the new year with new resolutions. Let’s face it—I’ve never stuck with them. So instead, I decided I would end the year with a reading challenge.
Maybe it’ll change my mindset.
