My goal this week was to catch up on some ARCs that are releasing later this month or that I have to post a blog tour post for! Luckily most of the ARCs were pretty short, so I got through quite some π
What I read this week (books with * have a review coming!):




The city of brass* β SA Chakraborty β 5 stars! New favourite! I loved all of this!
Battle born β Amie Kaufman (Audio) β 3 stars! This was such MG series to listen to!
The oddmire: the unready queen* β William Ritter β 3 stars! Fun read, I did like book one a bit better!
Rebel spy* β Veronica Rossi – 3 stars! I really liked the writing, generally not a big fan of history though!
A duke, the lady and a baby* β Vanessa Riley β 2 stars! This really was not what I had expected from it.. Quite disappointing!
The witches of willow cove* β Josh Roberts β 3.5 stars! This was a very fun middle grade read!
Piecing me together β RenΓ©e Watson (audio) β 4 stars! This was such a beautiful story! Reminded me a bit of With the fire on high in the way the story was told!
The tombs of Atuan β Ursula Le Guin β 3.5 stars! This was different from what I had expected, but I still quite enjoyed it!




What Iβm currently reading:
Harry Potter and the order of the phoenix β JK Rowling (audio) β Since Iβm not going many places Iβm not listening that much, so such a long book is taking me a while!
