Books carried over from June

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 to get my act together and get to it! It is a fairly short one in a single sitting it should be done.


*The last arguments of Kings by Joe Abercrombie
Another series finale, not sure if I avoid them unconsciously because I'm not sure I will enjoy the ending this series will get XD


*Road work by Stephen King published in 1981 written initially under his Richard Bachman pseudonym. It looks like a western, but I am not sure what it is about but I did find it in Scribd.


*Post-apocalyptic books:
*Song for the unraveling earth by Brian Everson a collection of dark short stories.

*Swan song by Robert McCammon. In a wasteland born of rage and fear, populated by monstrous creatures and marauding armies, Earth’s last survivors have been drawn into a final battle between good and evil that will decide the fate of humanity. There’s Sister, who discovers a strange and transformative glass artifact in the destroyed Manhattan streets…Joshua Hutchins, the pro wrestler who takes refuge from the nuclear fallout at a Nebraska gas station…and Swan, a young girl possessing special powers, who travels alongside Josh to a Missouri town where healing and recovery can begin with her gifts.


*Latin/Spanish/Mexican authors
-Hasta que deje de llover (until it stops raining) by Javier Martinez

This is a boy meets boy love story. So yeah pretty fitting for Pride month. 

*Rereads picked for this month
-Days of Blood and Starlight by Laini Taylor. This is the second book in the trilogy, we follow Karou as she struggles in a war between Chimeras and other angels. She needs to pick her allies, make an army and get over her internal struggles her heart is causing. 


-Captive Prince by CS Pacat. This follows a man who is betrayed and sold as a slave to the enemy kingdom as he struggles to survive, he needs to hide his identity and yet find a way to escape from the place where everyone would like to see dead.

Bird Box

Author: Josh Malerman Genre: Mystery/Thriller, Horror Original publication date: March 2014 Book description:  Something is out there, something terrifying that must not be seen. One glimpse of it, and a person is driven to deadly violence. No one knows what it is or where it came from. Five years after it began, a handful of scattered survivors remains, including Malorie and her two young children. Living in an abandoned house near the river, she has dreamed of fleeing to a place where they might be safe. Now that the boy and girl are four, it's time to go, but the journey ahead will be terrifying: twenty miles downriver in a rowboat—blindfolded—with nothing to rely on but her wits and the children's trained ears. One wrong choice and they will die. Something is following them all the while, but is it man, animal, or monster? Thoughts: So this is a reread. The first time I read it was last year mainly because of booktube recommendations and the movie was released in N

Mid Month Wrap up (Hous Pocus + #AYearAThon)

For the beginning of the month, I participated in two Readathons. So I will do a wrap up of those two first ones that ended on the 13th. The first one was HOCUS POCUS READATHON. The goal was to cast a Spell to become immortal. Goal accomplished! It consisted of 7 challenges out of them, 6 were reading related. Read a total of 6 books. In those the total pages read were 2,263 In average it represented 377.67 pages per book  Not bad for the first two weeks of the month but yeah most of the book were on the shorter side. The second readathon accomplished was #AYearAThon in which we had to read a thriller. In a very good coincidence, these two overlapped allowing me to use a book from the previous challenges to cover this one as well. For this readathon only one book was finished, Misery and this one contained 370 pages.
