Dance of Thieves

img_2764I wasn’t the biggest fan of the Remnant Chronicles as I gave all of the books 3 stars. There wasn’t really anything wrong with them, I just didn’t connect with the characters or the plot all that well. I did really enjoy how much the world expanded over the course of the series and the political intrigue was very interesting to read which is predominately why I decided to pick up Dance of Thieves. I think having a different set of characters with a new fresh plot has intrigued me enough that I want to read it. I also really like the premise of having a reformed master thief, it really keeps the stakes high and makes for more of a fast paced book which is more my style. Also this cover is absolutely beautiful, one of the prettiest on my shelves that’s for sure.

Wundersmith

img_2796I was actually really surprised how much I enjoyed Nevermoor. I had a feeling going into it that it might be a bit too juvenile for my taste but that wasn’t the case at all! It reminded me kind of as a mix between Harry Potter and Percy Jackson but also it was very distinct and unique as well, especially since out main protagonist is a female. I really contemplated giving it a 5/5 but it just fell short of that for me, so I’m thinking Wundersmith might just do it! I believe we follow Morrigan as she enters school in this book and school settings are always one of my favourite story-lines to read from. I”m excited to get into Wundersmith and I hope it’s as good as what I think it will be. I’ve heard great things!

2019 Reading/Blogging Goals

I wanted to start off my year right and set a few goals for myself for 2019!

I want to continue blogging every weekday! I have been really enjoying my blogging journey and reading, writing and posting have become the norm for me now. In a way it’s helped me put a lot more structure into my time and sort of forced me to be more productive. I would like to grow my blog a bit more and produce even more fun, detailed, bookish content that you all will enjoy!

I would like to read more books that I actually interest me. I’ve made a bit of a habit of just buying and reading books because they are super hyped and popular even though the actual book doesn’t interest me. I could be a genre that I don’t usually read from or the premise doesn’t intrigue me but because everyone is talking/raving about it I still pick it up and read it anyway and I usually don’t enjoy it. I just think it’s a waste of time and I could be reading a book that I actually want to read.

I’ve set my Goodreads goal for 2019 at 100 books. Last year my goal was 70 books and I surpassed that with a few months left over so I thought I would extend it a little and see how I go. I usually read around 9-10 books every month so if I continue my progress throughout the year I should make it!

Find a balance between reading/blogging and life. I find that currently my life isn’t as balanced as what it should be. I tend to sacrifice my health and fitness to kind of sit around and read and blog. So for 2019 I would really like to find a way to balance out my life in a way that ensures I am healthy and happy.

The last goal I wish to set for myself this year is to just be happy. I think if I accomplish the rest of my goals it will make for a great year and that will definitely make me happy!

⚡️Harry Potter Update⚡️

img_2565So I couldn’t help myself and finished The Philosopher’s Stone and continued straight onto my other illustrated edition of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets that I also got for Christmas. I finished it in one sitting and can I just say how incredibly beautiful these editions are, the illustrations just enhanced the experience sooo much and I am loving my rereads so far! I am itching to continue on with The Prisoner of Azkaban but I want to get my hands on the third illustrated edition first. I was really hoping to drag my readings out and maybe do one a month and that way it was take up most of the year, but I really can’t see that happening. I am loving diving into this world again so much that I think I will be bingeing the series and finishing quite soon! I won’t be doing reviews on the books, I want to stick to reviewing what’s on my TBR’s every month, I think I will just continue to give updates!
