Hi everyone! I’m back with another Top Ten Tuesday post and this week’s prompt is to list the The Ten Most Recent Additions to My Bookshelf.
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme that was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
I love doing these type of posts. I’ve never written blog posts about book hauls, mostly photographed them and posted them on IG. Today I’m listing some of the latest additions to my shelf, most of these books I’ve listed below are gifted or received for review.
Hi everyone! Happy Wednesday(again!) and welcome to my weekly reading update post or the WWW Wednesdays. I’m also hosting an international giveaway for Beasts of the Frozen Sun! Here’s the link if you haven’t entered yet.
What are you currently reading or have finished reading? Have you read any of the titles I’ve listed? If not, do you want to read any of them? Let me know in the comments below!
Hi everyone! Happy Wednesday(again!) and welcome to my weekly reading update post or the WWW Wednesdays. Hopefully, this will go live in time unlike last time..
WWW Wednesday takes place every Wednesday, where bloggers discuss their 3 Ws:
What are you currently reading?
What did you recently finish reading?
What do you think you’ll read next?
I’m currently reading The Rest of the Story by Sarah Dessen and I’m loving it so far!
Beasts of the Frozen Sun by Jill Criswell was the last book I finished and it was a beautifully written fantasy inspired by Celtic mythology. I’ll share my thoughts soon. I also finished reading Brazen and the Beast by Sarah MacLean and it was so amazing!!
Christina Lauren are one of my favourite authors and The Unhoneymooners has been on the list of my most anticipated books of 2019, but it appears that I completely forgot to read it pre-publication….. SO, my next read will be The Unhoneymooners and after that it’ll be How the Light Gets In by Katy Upperman.

I’ve managed to read about 72 books according to Goodreads, which also tells me I’m 17 books ahead of schedule! I’ve set my goal to 100 books but I think I’ll pass that goal soon enough. I don’t always update my reading progress on Goodreads so I’ve already missed adding a couple of books. I’ve participated in two readathons so far and that’s exactly why I managed to read more than I usually would’ve.
2.Which is the best book you’ve read so far in 2019?
3. Which is the best sequel you’ve read so far in 2019?
Soul of the Swordis the best sequel I’ve read so far this year. Also, I want to mention The Winter of the Witch -which is a sequel of sorts(I guess- which I LOVED so much and bawled because I realized that the Winternight trilogy is over.
4. Which new release you haven’t read yet, but want to?
As a newly minted Brigid Kemmerer fan, I want to read more of her books and this newly released YA contemporary sounds like something I’d tremendously enjoy 😀
5. Which is your most anticipated release for the second half of the year?
I’ve written a separate post about some of my most anticipated books of the second half of 2019 and they’re listed here
6. Which book has been the biggest disappointment so far in 2019?
*Sighs* I’ve dnf’d many books, gave some one stars, but what hurts is giving one star to a book I genuinely thought I’d love because it was by one of my favourite authors. Also, included in this list would be The Beholder.
7. Which book has been the biggest surprise so far in 2019?
Emily Eternal by M.G. Wheaton is one of the best books I’ve read this year. It surprised me because I don’t usually find sci-fi books enjoyable but I HIGHLY recommend you read this one! It’s about Emily who’s an Artifical Consciousness( not an A.I.), designed to save humanity from extinction.
8. Who is your new favourite author (debut or new to you)?
Beth O’Leary, author of The Flatshare, is my new favourite author. There’s also Danielle Jensen, who wrote Dark Shores, Delia Owen of Where the Crawdads Sing, Brigid Kemmerer and Joan He (Descendant of the Crane)
9. Who is your newest favorite character(and literary crush)?
Harper and Mia from A Curse so Dark and Lonely and Where the Crawdads Sing respectively! One of my favourite literary crushes is Reid Diggory from Serpent and Dove 😍😍
There are many books that made me laugh- sometimes so violently that everyone would stare at me- but I can only remember Serious Moonlight by Jenn Bennett which brought a smile to my face at almost every chapter.
12. Which is the most beautiful book you’ve bought so far in 2019 (or received)?
14. What books you you need to read by the end of the year?
Along with some other books in my ever-increasing TBR pile, I need to finish reading these two which I’ve been putting off for two long.
I tag:
Anyone who’s reading this and hasn’t done this tag yet!

Hi everyone! Happy Wednesday Thursday and welcome to my weekly reading update post or the WWW Wednesdays. This was supposed to post yesterday but my dumbass forgot to schedule it. Moving on…
Without any further ado, here’s my weekly reading update post ….
WWW Wednesday takes place every Wednesday, where bloggers discuss their 3 Ws:
What are you currently reading?
What did you recently finish reading?
What do you think you’ll read next?
I am a huge fan of Jennifer Armentrout’s books and when I was offered an ARC of this novella The King , I had to start reading it immediately! I’m also listening to The Bookish Life of Nina Hill, which I’ve been seeing on bookstagram a lot.
Spin the Dawn by Elizabeth Lim was the last book I finished. It was on the list of my most anticipated books for the first half of 2019 and it wasn’t spectacular nor was it disappointing. I’ll share my thoughts soon. I also finished reading Patron Saints of Nothing, another anticipated read of mine, and I loved it so much.
All the books except The Bookish Life of Nina Hill are ARCs provided in exchange for honest reviews.
What are you currently reading or have finished reading? Have you read any of the titles I’ve listed? If not, do you want to read any of them? Let me know in the comments below!
