February Wrap up- new and old favorites! & VaLITines wrap up

 


Hi! It's the end of the month, so I thought I would put my wrap up today. I did VaLITines, so I thought I would copy what my tbr was for that, and then update it based on books I started later in the month and never finished.

Started

The Rule of Threes E-Arc (57% done)

This is a Middle Grade I picked up while browsing Read Now on Net Galley. I am really enjoying it, and it's my favorite ARC I've read this year. 

A Court of Sliver Flames (40% done) 

Being a fan of this series, there was no way I couldn't start this book the day it got to me.  If you've been following this blog for a while, you know that I'm one of those readers who takes time with a book, especially a Fantasy. This book is brilliant, so far!!!!! I love it and It's one of my favorites in the series.

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.

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...
