5 Books I Want to Read Update
Back in January I posted about 5 books I really wanted to read in 2021 and now that we are halfway through the year I thought I would post an update! At this stage I’ve only read 1 out of 5 of the books so I really have to get cracking if I want to complete them all.
The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin
This was a wonderful introduction to this trilogy and I can see now why so many people love this book. The writing was descriptive and the world building was immaculate. All of the characters were distinctive and diverse and the way the storylines merged was masterful. I am kicking myself for putting off reading this book for so long and I am happy to have finally completed it. I have a feeling I am going to be continuing on very soon!
My Rating: ⭐️4/5 stars
The other four books I still need to read are:
My Ten Most Recent Reads
This week’s Top Ten Tuesday prompt is my ten most recent books I have read and my thoughts on each book!
The Girl and the Stars by Mark Lawrence – Underwhelming unfortunately
These Violent Delights by Chloe Gong – Just ok, will definitely be continuing on
Catherine House by Elisabeth Thomas – This was strange
When the Tiger Came Down the Mountain by Nghi Vo – I was invested, definitely unlike anything I’ve read before
The Midnight Library by Matt Haig – Poignant, relevant & impactful
Across the Green Grass Fields by Seanan McGuire – I really enjoyed this
Come Tumbling Down by Seanan McGuire – the series is slowly getting better as I read through
Well Played by Jen DeLuca – was an enjoyable, romantic, fun read
The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin – lived up to the hype
In an Absent Dream by Seanan McGuire – Just an ok one for me
Library Update
I figured it was time for another Library Update! I haven’t been utilising my Library as much this year. I have really just been trying to focus on my owned TBR which is creeping up there. However, there are still a few books that I am interested in but don’t want to commit to purchasing so I am still going to be borrowing books throughout the year! I currently only have two books on loan from the Library: The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin which I loved (see my review HERE) and These Violent Delights by Chloe Gong which I have heard great things about but haven’t read yet.

This month I actually ended up reading a lot more than what I anticipated which was a nice surprise. Though I didn’t end up completing my TBR I wanted to read in February I did pick up some books that I have been wanting to read for a while now!
