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- 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 books/ series I would recommend to someone who says don’t like to read.

Hi! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana @ thatartsyreadergirl . This weekly meme was born out of a love of lists and bringing the book blogging community together. Each week, Jana will post a topic, and we will all make a list based on that topic. This week, the topic is Books Written Before I Was Born ( These can be books you’ve read or want to read! ) ( submitted by Davida Chazan @ The Chocolate Lady’s Book Review Blog ). I wasn’t feeling this, and so I went through and found a post from The Broke & the Bookish, and I did that. The original post can be found here . I thought I would recommend some books from some of my favorite genres. The Classics 1- Pride & Prejudice This is one of my favorite classics, and when making my list this week, I knew I needed to include it. The reason is that I think this is one of the best books by Jane Austen, and we use the story in a lot of modern media. 2- To Kill A Mocking Bird I was so surprised by how much...

Top Ten Tuesday- Fall TBR

Hi! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana @ thatartsyreadergirl . This meme was made to foster our love of lists and bring the book blogging community together. Each week, Jana will post a list, and we readers will write a response. We also have the option of doing our own thing. This week our topic is fall tbr. I’m a mood reader, and I help out with a game and take part in a game every month. Every time you see a game prompt means that I will try to find a book on my shelves once I find out what the prompts will be. I’m going to reserve two books a month for games. I plan on reading more than what is listed here. This is just a small taste of what I hope to read. September 1- On the Come Up by Angie Thomas (57%) done–I left my Ipad down the shore, luckily my mom and sister found It and they have it. I am enjoying this book. I’m not sure if I will be able to finish this by the end of this month, but I wanted to put it here anyway. 2- Barakah Beats by Maleeha Siddiqui (10% d...
