September proved to be a busy little beaver of a month. October is looking much the same. I did manage to squeeze in 2 books for September. (I probably could have fit another in but with a planned trip in our near future, I didn’t want to start anything quite yet.)
4 out of 5 stars – I FINALLY caught up on this duology thanks to my BFF. I thoroughly enjoyed myself until the end, in which they had to do something to royally piss me off. Not in a bad ending way, just something I did NOT want to happen. This didn’t quite feel like an ending to me though. I feel like the author could easily pick up the story again and add onto it as she felt necessary.
3 out of 5 stars – The world building and even some of the characters were actually very promising and could have possibly kept me going with the series. However, this is one of those series where each book is based on a different couple and those just tend to lose me. LOTS of cheesy sex descriptions in this one. Throbbing members and molten cores and what not.
Books Purchased:
Trail of Lightning by Rebecca Roanhorse – $1.99
TOTAL: $1.99
I’m hoping to post more in October. It’s my favorite month of the year and I had fun posting weekly updates last year. The intention is there to do this, now hopefully will power follows through. It’s 2020, I just can’t promise anything. 😛
We’re off to spend a few days for bow season with my dad. I’m so excited to get away I can barely flocus at work. :3
What are your plans for October??
My plans for October? Survive. We’re having unseasonably warm weather (85 today, sigh) and I was really looking forward to the fall coolness. It better not stay like this.
Have fun bow hunting. What kind do you use?
I don’t hunt. I couldn’t possibly kill anything unless my life depended on it. But my husband hunts with a crossbow.
If you have read and liked the Bone and Shadow books by Leigh Bardugo as well , try her King of Scars I think you might like it , It has a mix of some characters from both series 😉
I actually have it sitting on my shelf! I almost jumped right into it but decided it’s time for spooky books first. :3
I can understand that 🙂 I been like that with books I have right now 🙂
Okay, mentions of bow season took me right back to Michigan, lol. Thank you for that. I miss the place!
I hope you do the weekly updates! If they include movies, that would be awesome. I’m always looking for new horror film recs.
It will include movies because Mr. C&M and I made lists of horror movies we haven’t seen or haven’t seen in a long time to revisit. Hopefully will also include food. 😀
Glad you enjoyed Crooked Kingdom–I really loved that one. Hope you have a great October (even if it’s busy).
Thank you! I hope your October is fabulous. 🙂
Thank you! ❤
I totally agree with you on Crooked Kingdom’s ending! Why did the author have to do that?!
It was like she decided that not everyone could make it out alive and I did not approve. D:
I just bought Trail of Lightning, too! Read the demo, liked it, and figured $1.99 was too cheap to pass up.
Yay! I have a hard time passing anything up when it’s $1.99. 🙂
Same! Anything under $5 is like an insta-sell for me if it’s something I want.
