Another week were I worked 6 days.. I´m so tired! I did maybe buy some e-books since I felt sorry for myself hahah! I mean, great reward!
My copy of A Sky Beyond the Storm was supposed to arrive on Friday, and I was planning to immediately start reading it. But it decided not to come 🙁 It seems like many shops here have problems with getting this book.. So I guess I just have to wait patiently..
So I started reading another conclusion to another amazing series instead! This month is apparently all about finishing series!
What I read this week (books with * have a review coming!):
These Violent Delights* – Chloe Gong – 3 stars! I enjoyed this one, but it was not as good as I expected it to be!
Secrets of the Starcrossed* – Clara O’Connor – 2 stars! This book felt all over the place.. Still have to gather my thoughts for my review!
Tower of Nero – Rick Riordan (audio) – stars! This series is so good! I love everything Rick Riordan writes! Also the narration of this audiobook is amazing!
What I’m currently reading:
Oathbringer – Brandon Sanderson (audio) – Over halfway through, but I needed a little break!
The Empire of Gold – SA Chakraborty – Loving this!
Supernova – Marissa Meyer – Reading this during my lunch breaks, so not going very fast haha!

What I watched:
Loads of booktube, everyone is posting so much!
Mulan – live action! It was pretty good!
Dr Strange – I think this might be my favourite Marvel that I’ve watched so far! (Although Spiderman and Black Panther are coming, and I know I love those haha!)
I would say those book were well earned–treat yourself! Hope you have a fantastic week, Evelyn!
I would say so too hahah!
I’m hoping to read These Violent Delights soon! I’ll be sure to keep my expectations tempered 🙂
I think that is a good idea haha! I hope you will enjoy it!
These Violent Delights was also 3 stars for me too!! It fell a bit short and I had such high expectations 🙁
Maura @ A Bookish Star (abookishstar.com)
Yeah I definitely yhink my expectations were too high!
It’s great to see that you’re enjoying Empire of Gold! That makes me even more excited to hopefully finally read it next week 🙂 And I hope your weeks become less stressful soon! I’ve also been extremely busy these past few days and have been staying up super late to compensate for all the work I neglected while going on a hiking trip with my best friend this Sunday… So unfortunately, I very much relate to the tiredness haha
It is so good! I cannot put it down!
Hopefully we can but rest a bit soon!
I just finished Rent A Boyfriend and currently starting Legendborn!
Never heard about Rent A Boyfriend! Was it good?
I really want to read Legendborn soon!
I watched the live action Mulan as well! I thought it was pretty good. I still personally like the animated version better but it was cool seeing how they wove classic aspects of the original version into the live action movie. My sister was telling me that she wished you could see Mulan’s thought process — her creativity — more in the live action like you could in the animated! But overall, it was entertaining and enjoyable to watch.
I might actually like the live-action more! But I only watched the animated version for the first time a couple of weeks ago haha!
