March ’19 Wrap-up & Book Haul!

With April here (already mid-way through), I feel like spring is officially here. Now what this means for my reading, I have no idea. But what it does for my mental health is really amazing. I feel more motivated to do stuff during the weekdays and even during the weekends. But that also means nicer weather to do more social activities which can be mentally and emotionally draining for me.

Hence why it’s taken me so long to post my wrap-up and book haul for March! I mean, it’s really become classic Nicole to post these things mid-way through the month, right? Haha. This also means I did not take a “wrap-up” photo for the month so this will be a little different, too. I promise to do better next month.

ARC Review: “Courting Darkness” by Robin LaFevers

His Fair Assassin trilogy is a series that got better with each book. I can’t help but scream “Assassin nuns!” when people say they want to read something “different.” When the author announced there would be two more books in the series, I was excited. While Courting Darkness was good, there were a variety of things I didn’t care for in the book, which left me wondering if I should pretend the series is really just a trilogy.

I picked up this ARC from my local indie bookstore, where they have a “buy a book, get a book” (normally an ARC) thing going on. I had hoped to review it before its release date but unfortunately, time slipped away from me.

WWW Wednesday #12

WWW Wednesday is a weekly blog meme hosted by Taking on a World of Words. In this post I will answer the following questions:

• What are you currently reading?
• What did you recently finish reading?
• What do you think you’ll read next?

This is me when I realized I have a lot of ARCs (digital and physical) that I need to read:

But really, what’s new? HAHA. But I’ve learned not to feel bad about it, so at least that’s an improvement?

‘Waiting on’ Wednesday: February ’19 Releases!

‘Waiting on’ Wednesday (WoW) is a book blog meme hosted by Breaking the Spine. It’s really easy to participate: all you have to do is feature upcoming books you’re excited about! It doesn’t necessarily have to be for the next month–it can be any book–but I try to keep it simple because… You know, there are just so many books that release even in a single month. And to think I just feature some of my favorite YA ones…
