January Wrap up!

It's a new month, so I thought I should wrap up the books I read, or finished in the first month of 2020!

Number of books completed

4/40 (10% done) 1 book ahead of schedule.

Leftover from December 

 Cinder by Marissa Meyer 

*****( 5 stars)

Read from 12/29/19-01/15/2020

I loved this series starter so much and I can't believe it took me this long to read this book. I love the characters in the story, and I love the world. A review will come soon.

Marvel: Powers of a Girl by Lorraine Click with art by Alice X. Zhang

****(4 stars)

Read from 12/20/19-01/16/2020

This was a gift as part of Secret Santa and it was very good. I loved reading about all the characters in the Marvel Universe. The biggest issue for me was some characters had large 3 or 4 pages with information, and others just had a small section in a group. I thought it could have been more balanced. Also, I thought we could have seen more characters represented.

First books of 2020

 Libra: The Art of Living Well and Finding Happiness According to Your Star Sign by Sally Kirkman

****(4 stars)

Read from 01/15/2020-01/22/2020

If you want to read about your star sign and learn how you could live better based on your star sign, this is the book for you. I enjoyed learning about my sign and how I could live, and my personality based on the sign. This book was repetitive, and that might turn people off, or cause them to DNF the book. 

Build Your Best Writing Life: Essential Strategies for Personal Writing Success by Kristen Kieffer

***** (5 stars)

Read from 01/1/2020-01/29/2020

I'm a writer of stories as well as a blogger, and this was such a fantastic resource. I highlighted all over the Ebook so I could use them as I needed them. The tone is casual, yet very informative for anyone trying to expand their writing life.  This book details everything for dealing with resistance to publishing. The added bonus is there are activities for the writer to put the tips into practice. I would recommend this book even if you're just a blogger, as there are chapters that would be relevant for crossover.

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 ...
