Summer Wrap Up


Hi, friends! We have already found ourselves at the end of another season! This wrap up is for the summer season which are the books I read in the months of June through August. This summer I actually surprised myself and read way more books that I expected! I counted them up, and I read 12 books this summer!! I didn't think I read that much, so I was super excited when I saw this! This caught me up on my Goodreads goal, and I finished two series that I was in the middle of. Overall, I'd say I had a pretty successful summer of reading, and I'm really happy with what I read.


I ended up reading:
  1. Cress by Marissa Meyer 
    • I gave this a 4 out of 5 stars 
  2. I Have Lost My Way by Gayle Foreman
    • I gave this a 3 out of 5 stars. This was also my first audiobook!  
  3. Fairest by Marissa Meyer 
    1. I gave this a 3 out of 5 stars
  4. Winter by Marissa Meyer 
    • I gave this a 4 out of 5 stars. This was the concluding novel to the Lunar Chronicles, and it was the first series I finished up this summer! 
  5. Stars Above by Marissa Meyer 
    • I gave this a 4 out of 5 stars. Although the last short story in this one was SO GOOD. Definitely 5 out of 5 stars for that one! 
  6. Amy & Roger's Epic Detour by Morgan Matson 
    • I gave this one a 3 out of 5 stars 
  7. Ink, Iron, and Glass by Gwendolyn Clare 
    • I gave this a 3 out of 5 stars. I have a review of this book on my blog that you can read it here!
  8. A Gathering of Shadows by V.E. Schwab
    • I gave this a 4 out of 5 stars 
  9. The Lucky One by Nicholas Sparks 
    • I gave this a 3 out of 5 stars 
  10. Watership Down by Richard Adams 
    • I gave this a 3.5 out of 5 stars 
  11. Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare 
    • I gave this a 4 out of 5 stars
  12. A Conjuring of Light by V.E. Schwab 
    • I gave this a 4 out of 5 stars 

I'm really happy with how my summer reading went, and I hope that your summer reading went this well too! I'd love to hear about the books you read this summer in the comments! Did we read any of the same books? Thanks for reading!

Hi, friends! This past month I have had the pleasure of joining the Book Club along with a wonderful group of girls. I am so excited to be able to participate in this book club because it has always been a dream of mine to be in a book club! I think they are just so cool!  This month we all decided to read The Tattooist of Auschwitz by Heather Morris as our September pick, and it was so good.

Hi, friends! I can't believe the ending of another season is already here! I haven't read a ton of books this season, but the ones that I did read, I have really enjoyed! I am excited to share the books I read this fall with you! Every Heart a Doorway by Seanan McGuire ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I listened to this book on audio book, and I absolutely loved it! I have heard so much about this book for so long that I finally decided to pick it up myself, and I am so glad I did. I loved getting to see this very unique perspective on all the fairy tales we heard growing up. This story is so imaginative, and I love the world, and worlds, that Seanan McGuire brings to life in this novel.

My Favorite Books of 2017

2017 has flown by, but not without leaving behind some really awesome books. This year as a whole has been a more challenging one for me, but I did read a few books that have stuck with me along the way. In case you want to check them out yourself, I will have each one linked to where you can buy them! Here is my list of books that have stayed with me and left an impression this year: A List of Cages by Robin Roe Amazon I loved this book so much! I borrowed this book from the library, and I so wish I could have kept it! I gave this book a 4.5 out of 5 stars. The Unbound by Victoria Schwab Amazon The first book I ever read by Victoria Schwab was The Archived, and I loved it! This was the equally fantastic sequel that I read this year. I gave this book a five out of five stars. The only thing I wish is that THE PUBLISHER WOULD LET HER WRITE THE THIRD BOOK!! Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys Amazon Ruta Sepetys is one of my all time favorite authors, so all of h
