August ’19 Wrap-up and Book Haul (+ an Unhaul)

Hello, friends! Another month has come to an end. We’re in the last stretch of 2019. The days aren’t sweltering hot anymore, I’ve already burned a pumpkin-scented candle and had my first taste of the seasonal drinks at Starbucks. I’m dreaming about autumn as I type this… *sigh*

Like last month, August was another good reading month for me. The fact that I’m not reviewing in-depth every single book I read has helped a lot. I did have a lot of ARCs and eARCS for August, so I definitely reviewed those individually (which I will link below).

Top 10 Tuesday: Books That Need a Sequel

A weekly blog meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.

Technically, the topic is standalone books that need a sequel, but gosh, there are finales of series that I think also need another book because I just want more, and sometimes an author leaves things pretty open-ended. I know most of crave for standalone books, but sometimes those books need answers! But also, this is mostly me, my wishful thinking, and just how fun it would be to have another story with these characters!

I also did a twist on the topic all the way at the bottom, so check that out too! 🙂

February ’19 Wrap-up and Book Haul!

February has come and gone and I really can’t believe it. January seemed to last forever, but February sure did pass on by quickly! But despite the shorter month, my wrap-up and book haul are both equally exciting. 🙂

Review: “Muse of Nightmares” by Laini Taylor

Wait, this can’t really be the end, can it? I’d like to personally thank the narrator for both Strange the Dreamer and Muse of Nightmares, Steve West, for providing such a great listening experience. 😉 I can’t imagine what Laini Taylor will pull from her brain next, but you bet I’m excited about it.

This review may contain spoilers for book 1, Strange the Dreamer. Read at your own risk.

Top 10 Tuesday: Winter ’18-’19 TBR

Okay, I don’t feel like it’s quite the end of the year yet… So I’m gonna squeeze the first couple months of 2019 into my TBR as well because I can! lol I’m not sure if this post should include books releasing in the winter but… I’m just gonna make it books that I really need to get to reading.

Meeting the Author: Laini Taylor || MUSE OF NIGHTMARES Tour!

Going to see Laini Taylor was a bit of a whim. I’m currently transitioning jobs (my last day is today!), and I said I wouldn’t go unless I got this new job. Laini was in the Dallas area, which is a 3.5 hour drive as well.

Needless to say, I did get the job, and I did go see Laini Taylor as part of her Muse of Nightmares book tour. 🙂 It was a lot of fun, and I met a few people there as well, which really made it well worth it.
