August Wrap Up and September TBR

Hi!

August was not a great reading month for me. I still wanted to post this update so you guys can see what I'm in the middle of. I want to review the two books I read in August one will hopefully be up this week.

Books Finished

The Wall of Nova by Corrin A Hester

Rating 5 stars.

Read from July 31st-August 19th

I read this because a friend said the author was looking to get buzz about the book. I really enjoyed the story, but there are trigger warnings. I will discuss them when I do my review but over all, I really enjoyed this story.

Foolish Hearts by Emma Mills

Rating 5 stars

Read from August 13th- August 30th

It has been a while since I flew through a book as fast I flew through Foolish Hearts. I wasn't even reading the book every day but this book is that good. My favorite character was Claudia and this was my favorite read of the month. I want to do a full review but this was my first Emma Mills book and she is a fantastic write I can see why so many book bloggers read her.

Currently in the middle of  reading

Soul of Stars (Heart of Iron # 2) by Ashley Poston 62% done

This is the final book in this duology and I think I'm trying to extend it out as much as I can. I want to finish this book soon but also I want to stay in the story for as long as possible. This book is fantastic so far and I love the story.

Carry On Simon (Simon Snow # 1) 36% done

I started this in the beginning of August. This is a reread for me but I'm enjoy the story more the second time. Once this is done depending on the day, I will go right into Wayward Son. I love Baz and Simon.

Hello Girls by Brittany Cavallaro and Emily Henry 25% done

I got this book around release day when it was a First Five and I knew I wanted to buy it so I went on Amazon within the hour. I'm enjoying this story and I love the two main characters Winona and Lucy. This story is fantastic and although the first protion of the book is tough, I'm at a fun part of the book now I think.

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.  2- Miriam Kendrick from C

Top Ten Tuesday- Favorite Books of the Year Part 1 (12-21)

    Hi! Jana hosts Top Ten Tuesday @ thatartsyreadergirl . The purpose of this meme was to bring the book blogging community together and foster our love of lists. Each week, Jana posts a topic, and we readers respond based on that prompt. This week our topic is a freebie, so I decided to make my list of my top ten reads part one.   Middle Grade 12- Never After by Melissa de la Cruz I'm almost done with this book. It's a duology, and I loved the new twist on fairy tales.    YA 13- Don’t Read the Comments by Eric Smith I read this early in the year and it stuck with me. This YA Contemporary about gaming and the culture of the gaming industry was fantastic.  14- The Book Thief by Markus Zusak It took me years to read this book but I really enjoyed it. I love the unique narrator, the characters, and the story.  15- The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas This is another backlist release. I loved this book, and I knew when I read it that it had the potential to be on this list. I still thi

2019 Book Resolutions Tag!

Hey everyone! So Thursdays on the blog I am going to post a new tag. I think tags are so much fun, and I enjoy the time to reflect on what I’ve read in the past, or what I want to read. Images come from Goodreads. I grabbed the questions from  this blog 1. An author you’d like to read (that you’ve never read before). Leigh Bardugo! I have heard such great things about the Grisha verse, so I want to see if it lives up to all the hype. I have a feeling it will, and I am intrigued by the world. I got the first three books in the series as one large Ebook , so I ’m going to start that next month. I can’t wait to go on the journey and be immersed in a new series!  2. A book you’d like to read. Romanov by Nadine Brandes I love Anastasia and the Romanov family. This looks like such a fantastic retelling. I am drawn in just reading the blurb on Goodreads.  3. A classic you’d like to read. A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett. I’ve had the Barnes and Nobel edition of
