Hour 5 Getting a slow start and not much reading has happened so far. I got out of bed a little past the start of the readathon and started listening to Assassin’s Apprentice by Robin Hobb. We’ve been out and about though for a few hours and haven’t done much reading since my earbuds cord…
In 2019 there were a few books I picked up, and while I had no intention of DNF’ing them, I failed to finish before putting them down for an extended time. I haven’t had much of this issue come up in my reading life until now; and it seems to be coming on strong.
The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimberly over on the Caffeinated Reviewer.
Queen Evie has been playing the long game with the King’s sister, a sister who he doesn’t acknowledge and isn’t even really considered a royal because she is a bastard. The conclusion to this long game, is one I saw as a possibility and I think Evie even mentions it a few times in the books, but the way it played out was, mwah, fantisimo!
This will be my first time participating in the O.W.Ls in April, part of the Magical Readathon created by G from the YouTube channel Book Roast. You can see her announcement video which also contains all the links needed to participate in this month long readathon.
Hour 9 Getting a late start to the day. It is storming and raining hard this morning. So it’s dreariness on top of dreariness, and the bed was just so comfy and warm…I stayed wrapped in it’s comfort and fell back asleep. I’m currently sitting at my kitchen table, having some breakfast and updating here.…
After a while, this book totally had my attention. After listening to Lirael, I had to wonder if she would accept she was the Abhorsen. This curiosity kept me reading, but additionally wondering if the attack would be stopped.
I am sitting here, on a Saturday night, being unproductive, so I’m making myself write this post. I’ve just been watching YouTube videos for the last probably 3 hours. Not reading, not writing the reviews I’m behind on, not editing my Bout of Books vlog – yes I recorded myself, but I’ve done this several times and never edited and put together the video, which is why I haven’t been posting on YouTube. This is more or less how this week has gone.
This is the first book of Riyria Revelations and contains two stories to this great series. I loved the action, the writing, the character development, everything about this book is glorious. I totally see myself re-reading this in the future; multiple times.
I very much enjoyed this story. I was just swept away by what was happening to Evie and those around her, while also at key times was very much worried for her. Even though she’s the main character and we know she will survive, the fact of her survival being very likely completely left my mind.
