Wrap up #2 - February

February was the reading slump month I could say. I couldn't read more than few pages of Sherlock despite him being one of my favourites. Must be because that chunk of a book looks daunting. It has all of Doyle's works in it! Almost a 1000 paged beasts.

Then The TBR book, Pride and Prejudice, that one is slow paced and you need to read in between the text and it's tireing.

Yet I have picked up the Throne of glass again. And I'm halfway done through it so I think I'm back on the track. March should be better hopefully. Right after I go through the competition, then the leaving exam and then few days off on the other side of my country.

Soulless by Ismael Manzano ~ 1st book in a series and its coming out March 8th

~ Currently reading ~

Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas ~ a re-read
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur C. Doyle ~ compulsory read
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen ~ TBR jar

Wrap up #1 - January


So January yeah. I could say that I had more time for reading, but I think i just made myself read more. I've successfully read 3 books in a month which as of the last few years is my personal record..yay! I don't understand how I could read like 5 books in a week, but I guess it was when I had so little responsibilities that I could afford it.

The month was pretty good to be honest. I've launched up the TBR Tuesday finally. Even if it's not every week but I've decided to carry my Kindle anywhere I go and to read at school, which meant picking one of the books I had there. 
Also I've launched Wreck this Wednesday! thanks to my sister's idea (I have to give her that credit) after she gave me the book as Christmas present.


~ Reviews  ~

The Assassin's blade by Sarah J. Maas ~ Prequel to the Throne of glass
The Beholder by Ivan Amberlacke ~ 1st book in a series
Double Dare by Rhonda Nelson ~ short story

~  Currently Reading  ~

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur C. Doyle ~ compulsory read
Soulless by Ismael Manzano ~ 1st book in Soul Broker series (coming out on 8th March)
Throne of glass by Sarah J. Maas ~  a reread

November Wrap-up

Currently sitting in class so  this will be short. Xp. Don't kill me for that I have no time really. School is getting the best of me. I'm lucky that I have time to read, which isn't going as fast as i would love to.

Here we go though!

During this month I have managed to read 3 books. Woaw...new record -_-


The two books I have managed to read were the books sent in by the author. The young adult novels from miss Risseghem.

THE GUARDIAN, A SWORD AND STILETTOS by Kristin D. Van Risseghem



Format: Ebook (.mobi) | 282 pages
Size: 1281 KB
Publication date: 10 May 2015
Sold by: Amazon, co.

"Speechless. One word describing it all! The characters, the plot ...the everything!

Easy to read with not so complicated sentences. Oh! I have to say that the first few chapters got my attention completely. Couldn't put it down...The world that was created and explained was flawless. Now when I come to think of it...was there anything I didn't like? Maybe the suspended ending!!!! But I know it had to be done to keep the readers hyped up. Definitely want to read the rest of the books!"
Mimi 2015 
If you want to read full review click HERE. But let me tell you it is a hell of a good book! 5 out of 5 stars!

After that here comes the sequel to this baby:

THE MASQUERADE, AN ALTAR, AND A FAIRY


Format: Ebook (.mobi) | 142 pages
Size: 5 196 KB
Publication date: 19 August 2015
Publisher: Kasian publishing

Goodreads  |  Amazon


"I think that the book itself could be read without even reading the main book, because all of the details and even the additional info is mentioned in this small novella. The star rating says everything that needs to be done about this series. Not to mention I've noticed another book had come out recently! I think it's about the Winter fairy this time, and I took liking in that cheeky male, bring it on!" Mimi 2015

This book didn't disappoint me with the expectations I had from the first book. Yet again 5 out of 5 stars! Read the full review HERE.

The third book I've read this month is Around the world in 80 days by Jules Verne. The review on it will be soon up, I'm having just last few pages to go. It is going too slow and I can tell that  it won't be having more than 3 stars from me!
Come back and check the review it should be up on Sunday and that's the deadline I had set up for myself

October WrapUp & November BOokhaul


A month has passed and sadly I haven't read much! (damn it school, just damn it) Or maybe I shouldn't blame school for that...Yeah I shouldn't if I wanted I could surely quit reading fanfictions and get to my books OR stop playing the goddamn PC games (no they are not, pc games are amazing <3). aaaand yeah also have a roleplay blog on tumblr, taking most of my times. 

Alright  let me stop complaining and making up excuses for not reading, solemnly my fault I get it. But hei! It's hard time for me! And reading slumps are not helping it much either!



First of the Wrap-up for the month of October.

The only book I've managed to get through is Brooding city, by Tom Shutt. And I've already rated it two out of five stars, because well:



"Didn't leave a good feeling at the end, I was confused, having trouble to understand what was happening. It looks like there are two stories in one book. I also had lots of questions toward the background story which went on behind it. Would recommend to focus just on one character development." Mimi, 2015

Quoted from  review on Goodreads. (if you really want to read my full review it's HERE).

Anyway, do fanfictions count as reading? Because hell I've read tons and tons of them, mostly with Mycroft, Sherly ummm Crowley and whole supernatural people. *blushes*

Moving onto the Bookhaul of November!!

Most of my books from October moved in here, I'm currently third way through Fangirl and I'm kind of liking it. Can't say I'm in love with the book because I'm tasting new waters here. This is a kind of books I've scarcely read before and still trying to process down of what is happening. 

Then there is halfway done Verne's Around the world in eighty days which is basically a compulsory read and it goes on slowwwly. It's only that I don't like many descriptions huddled up together and this is what this book is about. Mostly descriptions and lack of dialogues. But it can do, I found love in classics lately and will be reading more of them soon.



And lastly the books I have received from author! Which came with the amazing note of being accepted as permanent reviewer so I'm utterly happy and already quarter through the first book, because hell it's amazing. Angels and demons? Finally my kind of thing out of these books. *grins widely*

I hope that this month will be far more productive than the last one. My two babies (Crown of Midnight and Heir of fire) are patiently waiting till I can get to them. Yet a thought ran through my mind to buy the rest of the books in the series and have a quick marathon through out one weekend or the best would be through the Winter holidays! Oh yes..I need that right now....gotta go  back to procrastinating..yeah, now where was I in Assassin's creed? hmmm....oh yes killing a templar agent.
