January 2019 Book Haul

4 Comments

As you may know, January was a slow month for me as far as reading goes. I was sick for most of the month, but it did not stop me from buying some amazing books. So, this is my January 2019 Book Haul post. I’ve been reasonable this month in comparison with December simply because my goal this year is to bring my TBR down a bit, starting with the books that I already own.

2019 Book Challenge – Pages Read 2019

2 Comments

A few days ago, I stumbled upon this book challenge, hosted by The Dragon’s Book Lair while reading other book bloggers’ posts. Pages Read 2019 sounds super fun, and I decided to give it a try. I’ve never done a collective book challenge before, so this new bookish endeavor should be interesting. My last attempt, the December book challenge, was an epic fail after getting super sick, but this one is different.

What is this book challenge about? Pages Read 2019 says it all in its title, but let’s dive into the specifics. It’s fun, I promise. 🙂

ARC Review: You’d Be Mine by Erin Hahn

I discovered Net Galley a few days ago, and I felt like a kid at Disneyland. I’ve always loved romance, whether it’s adult or YA. What can I say? I can’t resist a swoon-worthy story. So, when I stumbled upon this cute book cover, I immediately read the description. You’d Be Mine, written by Erin Hahn, seemed promising and right up my alley.

December Reading Challenge

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.

Book review: The Rule of One By Ashley Saunders and Leslie Saunders

Today, I’m reviewing a Young Adult (YA) dystopian novel, The Rule of One, written by Ashley and Leslie Saunders. I’m the first to admit that I don’t read many books by indie authors, or at least not as many as I should. It’s not that I don’t like indie books; they just don’t receive as much exposure. Going for a book published by a large publisher is easy because of all the press revolving around it.

That said, I’m glad I picked up this book, and I think it’s fantastic that Amazon is giving more and more power to indie authors. The caveat has always been the quality of the books. Often indie authors’ books are published too fast, leaving a bitter taste in the reader’s mouth, but once in a while, we stumble upon little gems like this one.
