Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo Review

In the first 80 pages or so of this book, I really wasn't sure if 

I was enjoying it, or going to enjoy the rest of it. I found the 

 main character annoying and the world and plot a little 

 confusing. The person that I really liked and probably 

 shouldn't have was the Darkling. You couldn't help but enjoy 

 his evilness. I also enjoyed Mal a lot, and wondered why he 

 wasn't in more of the story. The idea seemed a little over-

 developed and the main character a little too 

 underdeveloped for everything that was happening in the 

 story. But I did, in 

 all, enjoy this book and I will be reading the last two books in 

 the trilogy.

 Three out of five stars

Mid-Year Book Freakout Tag

Image
Hi guys! Today I will be doing the Mid-Year Book Freakout Tag. The number of people who I have seen do this tag has been way too many before I finally got myself to do it after being tagged. Thank you to Nikki Swift Reads  for the tag and I am so glad to finally be getting to this! Go check out her tag by clicking on the hyperlink listed before. Let's get right into the tag! How much have you read? Honestly I have not been reading as much as I wanted to this year and I know my Goodreads isn't accurate because I have been doing a good amount of rereads this year and Goodreads doesn't count those. I think I've read about 15 books total this year which is a lot less than I wanted to but college got really busy and I didn't have the time or energy to read much during school. Best book you've read so far in 2020? Probably my favorite book of this year was Save the Date by Morgan Matson . It was honestly the exact book I needed at the time I rea...

Happily Ever Afters by Elise Bryant  Release Date: January 5th Summary: From what I have read from the synopsis, this book is essentially about a 16 year old girl who loves to read and write romance stories. She gets accepted to a prestigious creative writing program at an art school but finds that her mind has gone blank with ideas. This means that, with the help of her best friend, she must bring the ideas from the romance novels she loves and bring them into her real life in order to spark some ideas.  My Opinion: This sounds like such a captivating story and such a unique idea! This seems like the perfect read for me and I am so glad th...
