Jade City

⭐️5 Star Predictions⭐️

February 15, 2024February 16, 2024by amyleighreads1 Comment

This time last year I made a post about some 5 star predictions. I went back and had a look I’ve read 6 of the 10 books on my list and I feel like it’s been pretty successful so far… Hopefully I can get around to reading the other 4 sometime this year, but we shall see!

Honey and Spice by Bolu Babalola – ⭐️5/5 stars

I LOVED this!

The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood – ⭐️5/5 stars

This was fresh, dramatic and Adam was everything!

The Writing Retreat by Julia Bartz – ⭐️4/5 stars

The ending was WILD!

The Burning Girls by C.J. Tudor – ⭐️4/5 stars

I was on the edge of my seat throughout this!

Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree – ⭐️4/5 stars

The coziest fantasy you will ever read!

Chain of Gold by Cassandra Clare – ⭐️3/5 stars

Exactly what you expect from a Shadowhunter book!

I’ve made a couple 5 star prediction posts in the last couple years and I feel like my reading has evolved since then so I figured I would come out with a nice fresh new list of 10 books I think I will love and give 5 stars to. Hopefully this prompts me to pick these books up a little faster than I am otherwise intending (fingers crossed)!

House of Sky and Breath by Sarah J Maas

Honey and Spice by Bolu Babalola

A Day of Fallen Night by Samantha Shannon

Jade City by Fonda Lee

The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood

The Writing Retreat by Julia Bartz

The Burning Girls by C.J. Tudor

Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree

Dark Matter by Blake Crouch

Finley Donovan is Killing It by Elle Casimano

The Sword of Kaigen by M.L. Wang

End of Year Book Tag

November 17, 2022November 3, 2022by amyleighreads4 Comments

I did this tag at the end of last year and I felt like this is a fun tag that I’m going to do around this time every year!

I did start Jade City by Fonda Lee but never finished it but I definitely want to!

I don’t really have seasonal books that I read every year, but since we are going into Summer here in Australia one book I think will give me summery vibes is Carrie Soto is Back by Taylor Jenkins Reid

No all my anticipated releases have come out already but one I haven’t picked up yet is House of Sky and Breath by Sarah J Maas

Near the Bone by Christina Henry and His & Hers by Alice Feeney and All of Our Demise by Amanda Foody & Christine Lynn Herman

54735151._SY475_ 55384600._SY475_ 55337054._SY475_

I just have a feeling I’m going to love this!

No… I did struggle with reading slumps throughout this year so my only plan for 2023 is to fall back in love with reading again!
