Currently Reading

Hey everyone Steph here and today I am going to talk about the books I am currently reading.  It's not a December TBR because I have been reading most of them of months now. My end of the year goal is to finish all of these.

Hiddensee by Gregory Maguire


This is the only book I have not started yet. It is a retelling of The Nutcracker. I have read Maguire's Wicked series and loved that. I picked this month to read this book because it is perfect for the Holiday season.

The Romanov Sisters: The Lost Lives of the Daughters of Nicholas and Alexandra by Helen Rapaport



Now, this is not my usual genre of reading. I love History and Anastasia so this is a combination of both. This is a book about what happened to Olga, Tatiana, Maria, and Anastasia Romanov. It talks about their lives and I love it.

I am on page 206 of the story,  but I am reading the notes in the back of the book as I read. I have about 9 chapters of this book left

The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy by Mackenzi Lee

This is a sequel to a Historical Fiction I read last year. I loved because it was different from any other Historical I've read. I love following Felicity on her journey and seeing the world from her perspective.

I am 32% done this book. I daresay that this has been one of my favorite books of the year.

Dear Evan Hansen by Val Emmich


Being a fan of the musical, I knew that I would need to check out this book. I love the book so far. I feel it has the moments of the musical while still telling a story of its own. I might not love a certain plot point, but that does not mean I do not enjoy this story as a whole.

I am 46% done so in a few weeks I should finish this book.

War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy



I have been reading this for going on two years March. I need to read it in chunks because otherwise, it is just a lot. I love most of the story and the characters, I just feel like the war sections go on forever and are much longer than needed to make the point.

I am 47% done so maybe I can finish it by the two-year mark.

P.S. I Still Love You by Jenny Han

This is an ebook I started back in the summer. I do love it, so frankly I am not sure why it is taking me so long to finish it. I hope to finish this book by the end of the month as well. 

I am 62%  done this book.

Thanks for reading.

Top Ten Tuesday- Holiday / Seasonal Freebie- Memorable characters of 2020

  Hi! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana  @thatartsyreadergirl . This meme was born out of a love of lists and bringing the book blogging community together. Every week, Jana will post a topic, and we book bloggers will post a reply to the topic. This week, it's a seasonal / winter freebie. I kind of went rogue in a way. In the winter you see the end of the year best-of lists, and that's exactly what I did with this post. You will find subsections to indicate the genre each book is in.  YA Contemporary 1- Pepper from Tweet Cute by Emma Lord Tweet Cute was a novel I read in September. I fell hard for the major character, Pepper. She was so sweet, and she wanted so much to lice her own life.  As a bonus, she baked, and I seem to really love characters who bake. Pepper made this list because she wanted to live her own life for her, and I really admire that quality in a person. 2- Sophie from 10 Blind Dates by Ashley Elston I’m in the middle of this book right now, but I ...

Top Ten Tuesday- characters that remind me of myself

Welcome back to Top Ten Tuesday! This is a weekly meme where readers discuss ten or whatever number you would like to have based on a prompt. Our host is Jana at  thatartsyreadergirl . Our topic this week is Characters Like Myself. I am going to take a two words that each character has in in my opinion,  and discuss how that relates to me  as well. 1- Cather Avery from Fangirl Writer- At her core, Cath is a writer, and she loves her stories. I am a writer of both Fan Fiction and original stories like Cath so this was an automatic in for this. Both of us love our work and we tend to through ourselves whole hardheartedly into our work. Sisters- I might have mentioned this on the blog before but I have a younger sister and we’re only roughly 18 months a part. Cath and her twin sister Wren are polar  opposites and this is me and my sister. My younger sister is an extrovert and into science. I on the other hand,  am an introverted creative bookworm.  ...

Top Ten Tuesday- Book characters linked to Halloween candy!!

Welcome Back! I know I’ve been saying that I will be back and blogging more. Life happened last week, I had an appointment last week, and I just got lazy after that. I’m planning to be back more this week and get posting again this week. Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana at  thatartsyreadergirl .  This was born out of a love of lists and bringing the bookish community together. This week is a Halloween Freebie. I’m not into the horror or mystery genres. I wanted to do my top 8 Halloween candies and pick a character that reminds me of them. 1- Chocolate Rhys from A Court of Thorns and Roses series by Sarah J. Maas because he is smooth. This was a no brainier for me. Rhys is smooth, and he always knows what to say. He is charming and flirtatious so he was reminds me of chocolate no question. 2- Reese’s cups Claudia from Foolish Hearts by Emma Mills because she is sweet but has the determination to get what she wants. I read this book ...
