This is for the week of May 19-27.

I’m finally reading again, 2 books finished this week! Woohoo!

I read Caraval by Stephanie Garber. I highly recommend it if only for the way the author describes the character’s’ emotions in color. I loved the writing and the characters and setting were all fantastical and intriguing. Going to definitely continue this series because I’m told it only gets better.

I also read Again, But Better by Christine Riccio. This was recommended by a coworker who’s a huge fan of this booktuber author. It was a nice read at the start, I didn’t get into it right away, but I’m glad I stuck with it because the story really pulled me in and I really felt for the character and could relate to her.

I also made a small bit of progress on Assassin’s Blade by Sarah J Maas. I’m going to have to reread book 3 of her Throne of Glass series just to refresh myself on the characters.

Well I did it! I finished the books in my currently reading list 🤗
I read ‘Elites of Eden’ by Joey Graceffa, which was a slow start but I’m glad I pushed through (this time) because the ending was amazing! Can’t wait to start #3 in this series!
I read ‘Always and Forever Lara Jean’ which is the third in the to all the boys I loved before. This book was pretty good, but the ending left me wanting more and I’m still debating about how she ended a certain part. But the series was good and I highly recommend it!
I FINALLY finished ‘The Penultimate Peril’ by Lemony Snicket, and it was alright. I like the beginning of this series but the farther I get it’s kind of like okay, where is the end! Luckily ‘The End’ is next for me.
And I also finished ‘Clockwork Angel’ by Cassandra Clare. I half listened to this audio book wise while driving to universal and moving last weekend so I got about 8 hours listened to and I read the rest! I love listening to Cassandra Clare audio books for my drive, it’s the only author I’ve done it for and I’m enjoying it so far.
Whooo! Great week for me, next week is the last week of school, I’m only 2 books behind and 3 behind on popsugar so hopefully I’ll catch up more soon!

This last week had me ploughing through IT!
It is the biggest book I’ve read, ever!
I’ve had 3 days of no reading but I’m coming back with at least two books this coming week! I’m very excited for book 13 which is for subject: A book with a question as a title. For this I’ve chosen “will there really be a morning?” The Francis Farmer story! I’m absolutely fascinated with her tale!

Then I will be listening to book 14 ‘Thornwood House’ whilst I go for my walks every day and reading along also when I finish book 13. This book will be covering the subject: A book you think should be a movie

I must be honest and say I’m so pleased with myself and having read 12 books this year, so far. It is a great achievement as last year I only read roughly 4-5 books. I’m truly feeling as though I’m accomplishing something!
Best of luck!

I also just went through the books I've read so far this year and looked at all the books on this list (first time I've had time!) and was able to take 5 books I've already read and place them in a reading challenge topic putting me at 20 of 50 books and right on track!
