October Wrap-Up (2018)

Image
Hey everyone,  Victoria here! Today I'm going to be sharing with you my October wrap-up! I only read 1  book  in October, which I'm a bit disappointed with, but I was in a reading slump for most of the month. I've also been very busy and tired lately, so it's been hard to find the time and motivation to read. Anyways, let's talk about what I read this month... 1.) Heretics Anonymous by Katie Henry Rating: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️  . 5 / ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️  (3.5/5) I finished this book a while ago, so I don't remember everything that happened in this book but I'll do my best. I really enjoyed this book! I liked the storyline (since it was like nothing I've ever read before) and the characters were really relatable. Even though I've never gone to a Catholic school, I found the situations the main character was going through really interesting and relatable. The aspects of this that lowered my rating were that I thought it dragged on a bit and some of the

Hi everyone, Victoria here! Today I'm going to be doing the Fall Time, Cozy Time Book Tag! I was tagged by the wonderful Abi over at What Makes A Good Book, so be sure to check out her blog here:  https://whatmakesagoodbook.blogspot.com/2018/10/fall-time-cosy-time-book-tag.html .  I don't want to ramble too long so let's get on to the questions!  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Crunching Leaves- The world is full of color: A book with red, orange, and yellow on the cover   The perfect example of a book with these fall colors on the color is Illuminae by Amy Kauffman and Jay Kristof! Although I haven't read this book yet, I will hopefully be getting to it by the end of the year. Cozy Sweater- It's finally cold enough to wear cozy clothing- What book gives you the warm fuzzies?   The first book that popped into my head after reading this question was To All the Boys I've Loved Before by

Library Book Sale Book Haul!

Hey everyone, Victoria here! Today I wanted to do a haul of the books I got from a book sale that my library had. All of these books were super cheap (paperbacks were $1.00 and hardcovers were $1.50), so I went a bit crazy! Let's just get right into the haul! Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn I just realized that this is being adapted into a TV mini-series (I think), but when I picked this up, I thought it would be a creepy and mysterious read to explore during October! All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr Y'ALL! I FOUND THIS IN HARDCOVER FOR ONLY $1.50! WHAT A STEAL!! I've been wanting to read this book for such a long time and I've heard nothing but great things about it. So glad I was able to pick it up for such a good price! The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern I know so many Booktubers that love this book and constantly hype it up, and I want to see how I'll like it. I think this would be a good one to read in spooky month (aka October

September Wrap-Up (2018)

Hey everyone,  Victoria here! Today I'm going to be sharing with you my September wrap-up! I read 2 books  in August, which I'm a bit disappointed with, but I was in a reading slump for most of the month. Hopefully, next month I will be able to read more!  So, let's just jump right into the wrap-up... 1.) PS I Still Love You by Jenny Han Rating: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️  . 5 / ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️  (3.5/5) I finished this book on like the first day of September, so I don't really remember too too much from this one, but I did enjoy it.  I didn't enjoy PS I Still Love You quite as much as To All the Boys I've Loved Before, but I still thought it was a nice addition to the series. I can't talk about this one too much because it is the second book in the series and I don't want to spoil anything for anyone, but some of the plot points were not my favorite. The other boy that comes into Lara Jean's life and steers her thoughts away from Peter was really annoying to m

Hi everyone, Victoria here! Sorry, I didn't have a post go up last week but today I'm going to be doing the finally fall book tag!!  I'm so happy that its finally fall, as fall is my favorite season! Anyways, let's jump right into the questions!  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the fall, the air is crisp and clear: name a book with a vivid setting!  For this one, I'm gonna have to go with Sea Witch by Sarah Henning! The seaside town setting was just so eerie and enhanced the story and made it such an enjoyable read!  Nature is beautiful...but also dying: name a book that is beautifully written but also deals with a heavy topic like loss or grief  Girl Made of Stars by Ashley Henning Blake. This book talks about the main character's brother raping her best friend. Our main character, Mara, has to deal with a lot of grief and feelings surrounding the whole situation.   Fall is back to
