Where January felt like a whole year in itself, I barely registered February. It’s always so short to begin with, but somehow it felt even shorter now. Nevertheless, I actually managed to read a decent amount of books, even if you probably wouldn’t have been able to tell from the lack of reviews I wrote. I just found for myself that I don’t want to review every book I finish, so I’m gonna give you a brief summary of my thoughts in the wrap-up instead.
- Always and Forever, Lara Jean by Jenny Han (4 stars)
I don’t think I properly reviewed any of the books in the To All the Boys series, so I didn’t want to do the final book either. I enjoyed it, just as I did the others. Some parts felt a bit rushed, but I liked the main conflict, because making decisions about your future is hard, but it’s sweet to think that some things might last. - S. by J.J. Abrams/Doug Dorst (3 stars)
Reading S. is an experience and a challenge. The different timelines, meanings and stories are a lot and not all of them are really exciting. I enjoyed that this was a love letter to so many things, but the main storyline was still a bit lackluster. - Soulswift by Megan Bannen (5 stars)
- Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo (4 stars)
Now that the teaser for the upcoming Netflix adaptation is out, I could not resist finally picking up the books. I finished Shadow and Bone in half a day and I haven’t read anything this quick in YEARS. I agree with the people who say that Six of Crows is better, Bardugo improved her craft in since her first books, but I still loved it. I just don’t get where this incessant Darklina shipping comes from, but I do get loving the Darkling?
As per usual, click on the covers to get re-directed to Goodreads, where you are always welcome to add me as a reading buddy! My own reviews (where there is one) you’re able to find by clicking on the titles in the list above if there are posts for them.
So, I was scheduled to get my two remaining wisdom teeth removed in February and due to some annoying stuff, I ended up only getting one out and it’s still in the healing phase and that really knocked me out for a while there. I’m really not even that huge on food usually, but I was craving the most ridiculous things and I still haven’t been able to eat everything I wanted, but I WILL!
The health aspect being really draining, I wasn’t very motivated to do anything creatively. I didn’t write. I didn’t really draw, but I did try and keep up with my blogging. I think I chucked out a decent amount of posts and I hope you enjoyed them.
MY FAVOURITE THINGS
I have rarely been as excited for anything as I have for Shadow and Bone. I’ve watched the IGN Fan Fest exclusive trailer premiere and the cast q&a afterwards and I was in heaven. I don’t know what it is about all of it, because we got like 5 seconds of my baby crows, but I was beyond hyped. The sound design, the effects, the casting – all of it looks perfect! They put so much love into this show and I want to see it succeed.
