Reading

 So I really biffed my reading blog, I've read tons of books this year so I'm just going to tell you about the ones that stand out, and what I've been doing to read more.

I was lucky enough to go to my local library main branch to get a new card, and I've downloaded the app Libby so that I can take out ebooks and audiobooks from the library. It's a very good app, they are often missing books or only have the ebook version but there's still tons of books that I want to read and enjoy. Higly recommend downloading the app and supporting your wallet as well as your local library. It's really helped me with my spending.

So far my favorite books of 2021 are 

The Invisible Life of Addie Larue by Victoria Schwab

The Project by Courtney Summers

Ace of Shades by Amanda Foody

Trail of Lightening and Storm of Locusts by Rebecca Roanhorse

The Gilded Ones by Namina Forna

Lovesickness by Junji Ito

Survive the Night and Lock Every Door by Riley Sager

Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow by Jessica Townsend

Firekeeper's Daughter by Angeline Bouilley

Docile by K. M. Szpara

The Space Between Worlds by Macaiah Johnson

Don't Call it a Cult by Sarah Berman

Dark Horses by Susan Mihalic

Better Than the Movies by Lynn Painter

Arsenic and Adobo by Mia P. Manansala

Hot Under His Collar by Andie J. Christopher

Six Crimson Cranes by Elizabeth Lim

It's been a lot but I've had a great reading year so far and I'm looking forward to reading even more 💕

Recent Reads

 Since I'm atrociously bad at consistency, probably due to poor mental health here are a few books I've read recently and either loved, enjoyed or felt quite blah about.

First my 5 star reads

In The Dream House by Carmen Maria Machado

The Gilded Ones by Namina Forna

Nevermoor: the Trials of Morrigan Crow by Jessica Townsend

and

Firekeeper's Daughter by Angeline Boulley


My four star reads were 

The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove by Christopher Moore

The Lesson by Cadwell Turnbull

The Liar's Daughter by Megan Cooley Peterson

Survive the Night by Riley Sager


and finally books I could live without

all those damn Bridgerton books that I binged because of poor mental health.... but also ... I was obssessed, I'm happy I left that phase behind me. It only took like 14 something books that were pretty much all the same for me to get over it, but I came out on the other side, I've read some great books these last two months.
