Well, I think this Nanowrimo has probably been one of my worst yet. I really tried to actually write the required amount every day and I tried to get the next draft of my second novel in good enough shape to give me a better idea of what the first novel should look like. I… Continue reading November Reading Corner
Well, I didn't complete any challenges this time but I think I did okay over the last two months. I DNFed quite a few books but always managed to find another to replace them (even if it did take a few tries to find the right one). Goodreads 2021 Reading Challenge 56/150 books Apparently, I'm… Continue reading 2022 Reading Challenge Check-In (2 out of 6)
It's my first reading challenge check-in of the year. I'm happy with my progress so far but I do know there are some areas for improvement. Goodreads 2021 Reading Challenge 30/150 books Not bad at all. Apparently, I'm 7 books ahead of target and I'll be fine if I keep going at this pace. 'Be… Continue reading 2022 Reading Challenge Check-In (1 out of 6)
The Last Children of Tokyo & Ash
Monstress Volume 6, China Rich Girlfriend, I Will Judge You By Your Bookshelf, Lore Olympus Volume 1 & The Guinevere Deception
I only technically started and finished two trilogies this year but, for the sake of the list, I'm going to include a series I finished this year. The Abhorsen Trilogy by Garth Nix Yes, I'm throwing this in again. It might be a re-read but reading this again reminded me how well realised and how… Continue reading Blogmas 2021 Day 24: Best Series of 2021
Time to rank the best sequels of 2021. I did finish a couple of trilogies this year so, if I've also read the next book after that sequel, I'll include it in the entry too, just to make sure there's enough variety in the list. The Tea Dragon Festival and The Tea Dragon Tapestry by… Continue reading Blogmas 2021 Day 22: Best Sequels of 2021
Today, it's time to rank my three favourite first books in a series of 2021. It turns out that I didn't start that many book series this year. A couple of them were re-reads too so it was a little easier to rank them this time. Sabriel by Garth Nix Yeah, I'm starting this list… Continue reading Blogmas 2021 Day 21: Best First Books of 2021
2021 has been a pretty good reading year for me. I'm on track to finish my reading challenges without rushing too much and I managed to read some truly great books. However, there were some books that I just didn't have time for. Here are five such books that I will make my top reading… Continue reading Blogmas 2021 Day 9: Books I Didn’t Read in 2021
What kind of a Christmas metaphor would this be if I didn't counteract the naughty list with a nice list? I must be a very kind bookish Father Christmas because lots of books were given 5 stars this year! I'm not counting re-reads but, even without taking them into account, I've found that I gave… Continue reading Blogmas 2021 Day 6: Books On the Nice List
