I know I read quite some shorter books this month, but that was to compensate for some of the beasts I read (Looking at you Priory and queen of air and darkness..)! My ratings were all over the place this month haha! But I’m actually quite happy with what I read this month, backlist, new releases and arcs, also long and short books, not sure about the male/female distribution, we will see that in my stats! So here they are:
Queen of sea and stars by Anna McKerrow. Rating: 2 stars!
I really loved the idea of this book, but unfortunately I did not work for me. You can see all my thoughts here!
In an absent dream by Seanan McGuire. Rating: 5 stars! (audio)
I absolutely loved this instalment in the series, maybe not my favourite but still amazing (it is my favourite cover though!). See my review here!
I hate fairyland vol. 4 by Skottie Young. Rating: 4 stars!
I’m so sad that this was the last one 🙁 This is such an enjoyable graphic novel series. It is a bit graphic sometimes, but if you don’t mind check it out!
Thick as thieves by Megan Whalen Turner. Rating: 2 stars!
I have to say, I’m happy that I’m done reading all of these now. I enjoyed buddy reading this series, but didn’t really enjoy the actual books we were reading.
Crime and punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. Rating: 3 stars!
I liked that this one was quite different from the other classics I’ve read, but there were a bit to many unnecessary parts in my opinion. See my First impression post here!
The last magician by Lisa Maxwell. Rating: 5 stars! (audio)
NEW FAVOURITE! I loved this audiobook so much! It was just amazing, and I have to pick up the next one ASAP. See all my reasons for loving this here!
The darkest part of the forest by Holly Black. Rating: 4 stars!
I’m happy I finally picked up another Holly Black book! And also really pleased that I enjoyed it as much as I did! See my review here!
The slow regard of silent things by Patrick Rothfuss. Rating: 2 stars! (audio)
I absolutely love the name of the wind, and when starting this I knew it would be weird. So I was prepared for weirdness, but apparently that was not enough.
Queen of air and darkness by Cassandra Clare. Rating: 5 stars! (audio)
I LOVE IT. This was an amazing conclusion to the trilogy! I can’t wait for her next series to release. See my review here!
Smoke and key by Kelsey Sutton. Rating: 3 stars!
This was enjoyable, but I would have loved to have learned more about the world! See my thoughts here!
Goldie Vance vol. 2 by Hope Larson. Rating: 4 stars!
This graphic novel series is cute AF!
Royal assassin by Robin Hobb. Rating: 3.5 stars!
The overall story was good but some parts were a bit boring and there was not a lot of action. You can see my First impression post soon!
Miracle Creek by Angie Kim. Rating: 4 stars!
I actually enjoyed this more than that I expected. I really enjoy a mystery once in a while! See my review here!
Goldie Vance vol. 3 by Hope Larson. Rating: 5 stars!
Even better than volume 2! I’m sad that the next volume is not on Scribd..
The gilded wolves by Roshani Choski. Rating: 4.5 stars! (audio)
I liked this way more than that I thought I would! Both the characters and the plot are really interesting! My review will be posted soon.
Mirage by Somaiya Daud. Rating: 1 stars!
I’m honestly really disappointed in this one. As good as nothing happened.. They were mainly just discussing life in the palace and things like that.
Warcross by Marie Lu. Rating: 4 stars! (audio)
I have no idea why I waited so long before reading this.. They world Marie Lu creates in this one is so original and fun! I can’t wait to read the sequel. Review is coming!
Daisy Jones and the six by Taylor Jenkins Reid. Rating: 5 stars! (audio)
HOLY SHIT she did it again! This book was amazing, I was a bit hesitant to read this, because what can top Evelyn Hugo, well this was just as great, maybe better! Review is coming soon!
April fools by Jess Lourey. Rating: 3 stars!
The mystery part of this book was fun and interesting, but I didn’t read book 1-1, so I did not feel a connecting towards the characters, which took me a bit out of the story.
The priory of the orange tree by Samantha Shannon. Rating: 4.5 stars!
Since this book is so big it is a bit confusing at times. But boy did I love this! Review is coming really soon!
Fence vol 2 and 3 by CS Pascat. Rating: 4 stars!
I love this graphic novel series, and I hope there will be more volumes in the future!
Warrior of the wild by Tricia Levenseller. Rating: 4 stars! (audio)
This book was so action packed and enjoyable! I really liked it! Review will be posted!
The fever king by Victoria Lee. Rating: I’m actually not finished yet..
I was hoping to be finished today, but I guess that’s not happening, but I will mention it here since I don’t want it in next month’s wrap up haha.. I will post a review about it though!
My favourite read of the month was definitely the Last magician! And least favourite was mirage..
I really covet your pie charts and organization!!! I’m joining the OWL readathon and I can only hope that I am as organized as this on the other side!
Thanks! (I use canva in case you want to do it yourself ☺️)
Looks like it was really good reading month for you! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on Fever King! And I Rothfuss described Slow Regards as something like, “a book that’s not even a book” so I definitely get why people didn’t like it! And I REALLY want to give Daisy Jones a try. 🙂
I’ve written my review! It’s coming in 1 week or something . Good description haha! And I definitely recommend daisy jones!
I read the last Magician this month and loved it too!!
Yesss!
Oh my lord, I am so stuck on Priory of the Orange Tree! I was so excited about it, but it’s a monster of a thing!
I can understand haha! Honestly I read another book in between!
Wow! That’s a lot of books… some really good pics on here as well. I really need to read Gilded Wolves and Priory.
Thanks! And you should haaga
I’m reading Mirage at the minute. I’m kind of enjoying it but I am wondering where they’re actually going to go with the story…
Understandable hahah
Right there with you on The Slow Regard of Silent Things! I’d known before I started that it was going to be different from the novels, but I just didn’t expect the style was going to be so different. Needless to say, it didn’t work too well for me either.
Haha yeah, good thing that he warned us!
