Week 1 Update:
I
guess it really has been a week hasn't it, and one that has sort of
been all over the place. You know its a problem when you forget to wear
jeans on casual Friday, because it is something that you look forward to
every week.
I started this challenge out with Air
Awakens by Elise Kova, there is a very specific reason why. I think she
is one of the sweetest authors I have encounter on Twitter. I hear
bloggers rant left and right about this book, so I thought this was a
good bet. It was a fast read as well, finished it in almost one sitting,
meaning I could have sat a read it probably in a good 2 hours of no
distractions, doesn't really work that well though. My review will be
separate, but I loved the book. The premise was a familar one, meaning I
probably have picked up a another book along the same story lines. It
did actually remind me a little of Robin McKinley's Blue Sword story.
Beauty
and the Werewolf is book 6 in Mercedes Lackey's Five Hundred Kingdoms
series. They describe these books as fractured fairy tales. The little
review I wrote on Goodreads, just says I loved every one of the books
that I have read in the series. Which I think is a feat to have read
almost all of them because I am terrible about finishing things. I
haven't picked up the one about the Snow Queen, which I might in a
little while. That particular fairy tale isn't one of my favorites, so I
am a little hesitant.
I have actually just started my C
book. I am reading The Court of Thrones and Roses by Sarah J Maas. I am
liking it thus far, which doesn't surprise me because I have liked
everything I have read by this author. Sometime I am actually going to
finish the Throne of Glass series, which I do own in its entirely. I did
almost change this, I had in mind maybe I wanted to read something
different then fantasy, but I stuck with my first choice because I
really wanted to read it.
My reviews for each book will
be separate, but this update actually motivates me to write them. Happy
Reading and Writing out there.
