Wrap Up l November 2018

It is really starting to feel like winter, and with that come the on-set of Christmas spirit. While I can see lots of movie watching and maybe a Harry Potter reread or two I am not planning on reading much through the holidays and into the New Year. 

November was a roller coaster, Elevation has been one of my most anticipated reads, and while I don't think it is Kings best novella ever (being a different genera, fantasy) it was still a great little read. I expected more from Lost Boy, Lost Girl than what I got; I had no expecations for Heartsick and I now can't wait to get my hands on the rest of the books! The Deep was my most disappointing read this month, from the creator of Jaws! Sir Peter Benchley, it was slow, boring and incredibly anticlimactic.

Wrap Up - September 2016

Starting school this month meant that I wasn't sure how my reading routine would be set up. I was kind of hoping for about 30 minutes a day, I think I ended up with closer to 60 minutes on average. Probably closer to 2-3 hours on the weekend - with the first week of September being the long weekend. I am pretty happy with how it all ended up. I have been really bad with publishing TBR's this year and didn't get one out until have the middle of the month :(  so it was a combination of September and October (link here) . While 15 books a month seemed ridiculously ambitious at the time I might get pretty close to finishing, although I doubt it will be the books I had listed. Any of the novels with a  " *** " where on my TBR. And (for once) this months list is in the order I read them!

*The links over the novels is too the full book review
