November Reading List

December 1, 2019December 31, 2019by themarlenamarieLeave a Comment

I think that this is the first time since August that I finished… no not even in August did I finish my TBR. This is intense. Well, I finished it excluding Fire & Blood, but that’s like a text book and did we actually expect me to finish it? No.

The October FairyLoot Box was a book I read in October, as a note, so that didn’t end up getting read. I feel like I would have read more if I had The Blood Mirror on hand when I finished The Broken Eye. I did not. Without much more to say, let’s get into this.

November TBR

November 1, 2019December 1, 2019by themarlenamarieLeave a Comment

Alright, so this list is a bit more manageable than last month. Sort of. Kinda. I fell into a book rut, from how much work I had to do IRL. It did not leave much room for me to read, if we are being serious. As such, I will be sending those books that I didn’t finish, to January. I will also be completing all the series on my TBR shelf for next year. So instead of buying books that are higher on my want to read list, all the books that I have book 1 or book 2 or more, to on my shelf will be the series I aim to complete. I will write more about this when we get closer.

October Reading List

November 1, 2019December 30, 2019by themarlenamarieLeave a Comment

Once Again, my list for the last month was not nearly as completed as it could have been. Also, I finished quiet a few books on this list that were not on my TBR. I suppose, it was only bound to happen, that I would return to a book rut once more. Hopefully having a change of pace next month into adult books will help spring board me into the other books on my shelves again. Fingers crossed.

I got through so many series. The fact that remains hilarious is that most of these were read in August or before. October is going to be, probably 3 or more reviews a week as I try to catch back up? I’m actually not sure. I don’t like being so far behind on reviews, although I do know that it is better to have a queue. Whatever.

Until Next Time!

September Reading List

October 1, 2019December 30, 2019by themarlenamarieLeave a Comment

Hello everyone! It is officially Autumn and one year after I started this blog! This is our first September reading list, but it is not the last one. This September was all about reread/finishing the series for a bunch of books. I wasn’t able to get through all the books as I had placed on my impossible schedule. However could I really expect myself to complete all of those? No. That was almost too humorous to expect. I did get through a lot, however. So here you go!

NEWTs Reviews Update

September 4, 2019August 31, 2019by themarlenamarieLeave a Comment

Since I am only rereading or reading novels I don’t want to do reviews for, this month (September) will be the month where I put out all the reviews that I did not put out in August. This means all those books I finished in August? Their reviews are coming this month.

No worries, you will see them.

They will be The Wicked Years reviews, The Spellslinger reviews, and a few others that I’ve held on to from July as well. October we will be back to reading all these lovely books I’ve gotten in recent months from book boxes and the likes. Other new changes incoming? I’m not sure but that’s all for now.

Until Next Time,

August Reading List

September 1, 2019June 13, 2022by themarlenamarie1 Comment

Oh my goodness, I pulled it off. I actually did it! I can’t believe I did. For those of you who are new or just following for the first time, I suppose, I did the NEWTs exams for August. My goal was Auror with two additional classes, because I can’t make my life easy.

Info on the Reading Challenge or my post here

Info on my choices

This was only pretty much horrible for me for three reasons. One: I had to read an audio book (but that was a lot of fun and that review is coming tomorrow). Two: One of the series isn’t completed (thank heavens tho, because I hated The Keepers). Three: I had to pick up a series I accidentally DNFed (which I ended up loving. The Wicked series reviews will come later next month). I really pushed myself this month, to do things outside of my comfort zone. Was I rewarded? I think so. I read a lot of great books this month. I was not able to read the +3 (three books that I added because I started one series but did not finish it). Oh well no harm no foul, right?

But you aren’t here to hear me ramble. Scores for my NEWTs!
