Winter Bibliathon Conclusion

Ok I completely failed 

Ok maybe not exactly I managed to accomplish 6 out of 7 reading challenges of the Winter Bibliathon and with it my reading month became quiet a success. 
I only missed one challenge .... I had planned on reading some of Edgar Allan Poe's short stories maybe but didn't manage to get around to them, not exactly for lack of time but I invested my time elsewhere which became a huge problem.

 Anyhow I will pick up Allan Poe soon enough.

The Raven King

Image
Maggie Stiefvater 438 pages Genre: Magical Realism Date First Published: April 2016 Book description: Nothing living is safe.  Nothing dead is to be trusted.  For years,  Gansey has been on a quest to find a lost king.  One by one,  he's drawn others into this quest: Roman, who steals from dreams; Adam,  whose life is no longer his own; Noah,  whose life is no longer a life;  and Blue,  who loves Gansey.... And is certain she is destined to kill him.  Now the endgame has begun.  Dreams and nightmares are converging. Love and loss are inseparable. And the quest refuses to be pinned to a path. Characters: 10.0  The characters are the ones I already adore so I love them all and can't complain much. There is really no character growth throughout the series except for the Raven Boys to grow a little more mature and more sure of their friendship and more self-assured. Plot 10.0 This is the fourth book in the series ...

Books carried over from June

Image
I am sounding like a broken record by now. There were a few books I did not get to from my June TBR, not for any particular reason I do want to read them. As part of my 2020 resolutions I have to get through all my monthly TBRs I mean I can still DNF.  So that means that when I do not read a book in the set timeline (usually I only set a monthly TBR) I MUST read it in the next one in addition to the normal TBR set. So the books from June I need to get to: First off I began one and barely got 100 pages into it, that will be the first one I finish this month: *The Hero of Ages by Brandon Sanderson This is the final installment in the trilogy, I am enjoying it very much, not even sure why it's taking me this long to get through it. There were also plenty I didn't even begin so here they are, the second month they're included in a TBR this time I will read them! * The eleventh metal by Brandon Sanderson This short story I will not read until I finish the hero of ages so I need ...

Say Cheese and Die

Image
The series of Goosebumps I don't even remember the last time I had thought about it. I had read a few of the books while growing p but I don't remember much about it. So I thought it was a very good option to read during Believathon, its goal is after all to read children's books. The prompt was to read an atmospheric or spooky book , so I could not think of a better example. (Did not even try very hard, as soon as this series came into my mind I was set on reading something from it). Author: R.L. Stine Series: Goosebumps #4 Genre: Children's Horror Original Publication date: January 1992 Book Description (from GoodReads): Greg thinks there is something wrong with the old camera he found. The photos keep turning out . . . different. When Greg takes a picture of his father's brand-new car, it's wrecked in the photo. And then his dad crashes the car. It's like the camera can tell the future--or worse. Maybe it makes the future! Thoughts: We h...
