August Wrap Up

Sep 5, 2015

So August has been a slow month for me I haven’t read many books and like last month university is taking over my life. I am loving uni but it’s hard and takes up a lot of my time. I also can’t believe I’ve nearly finished my first year, it’s crazy. Nothing else, really has happened this month. Pretty slow month all round.

–Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K Rowling: Just as good as before | 4 Stars
– Adrift by Paul Griffin: I liked it but didn’t love it. | 3.5 Stars |Review
– Magnus Chase and the Sword of Summer by Rick Riordan: Holy Crap. It would so good! I can’t say much more, but read it when it comes out. | 5 Stars
– Paperweight by Meg Haston: beautiful, heartbreaking, eye-opening. | 4 Stars | Review
– The Coldest Girl in Coldtown by Holly Black: slow starting but in the end I really enjoyed it. | 3.5 Stars
– Gambit by C.L Denault: I adore this book, it was such a good read. | 4 Stars |Review
– An Inheritance of Ashes by Leah Bobet: A slow burning but really interesting read | 3.5 Stars

So I as you know, I’m still at university and it’s going okay. I am currently sort of looking for a part-time job (something that will hopefully help me get into publishing in the future) but it’s not going that great.

I am also starting to get things ready for my first trip overseas next month. I am so excited I cannot hold anything in at all. I am not buying too much because I am hoping to buy heaps while away.

How is everything going for you guys?

This month was okayish with post. Hoping to get a few more in September

July Wrap Up

Jul 31, 2015

Hi all! Sorry that I haven’t been around this month, but I am back at university this month and I am trying to get back into the kick of things. Also my first assessments are due in the next couple of week so trying to get all them done. But after next weekend I should be back to my old self.

So July has been sort of, a down month for me. So because of that I haven’t read many books or posted any reviews or posts this month.

But I did buy and borrow quite a couple of books this month. I also received some books this month.

– What I Thought Was True by Huntley Fitzpatrick: I really didn’t like it as much when I started to read it; but after about 80 or so pages I was really enjoying it | 3.5 Stars
– Lorali by Laura Dockrill: I really, really enjoyed this book. It was different, unique and beautiful | 4 Stars | Review
– Scarlet by Marissa Meyer: I loved Cinder, I though it was amazing and I loved Scarlet just as much. I cannot explain how much I love Wolf and Scarlet. Just my heart | 4.5 Stars.
– Cress by Marissa Meyer: I think that Cress, might be my favourite of the three so far. The thing that I love about Marissa Meyer is that all her female protagonist and their men are all amazing | 4.5 Stars.
– Sea Hearts by Margo Lanagan: The writing is beautiful, gorgeous; I can’t explain it. But I had a hard time wrapping my head around what was going on and the world | 3 Stars

I love posting photos of my books on Instagram. I may not be a fantastic photographer but it’s fun to take these photos. Here are some that I posted in June. You can follow me at angelreads.

Like I said at the start, I am back at university after my mid-year break. And while I am trying to get back into it all, I am loving it. I am a full time student so I take 4 courses (classes) so I am quite busy.

I am also back into writing; I had a bit of a slump last month but I am writing more and loving it. I also started or have an idea of a new manuscript and I really like the idea so I am really excited.

This month has been very slow. But I hope that you enjoyed this two reviews.

June Wrap Up

Jul 4, 2015

I haven’t done this in a while but as I love reading everyone else’s wrap up’s I thought I would start doing my wrap ups again. June has been quite a good month; no uni, lots of reading and some tattoos!!

On the Reading Front, I read 10 books in June. I am pretty proud that I read that many books but when I don’t have any classes and all I am doing is sitting at home for a month.

I have also been going to the library a lot the past couple of months which is helping me read books that I have wanted to read for ages.

– 13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher: It made my cry but it was also really beautiful. 4 Stars.
– What Lies Within by James Morris: A interesting YA thriller. 3.5 Stars | Review
– Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover: Not my favourite Colleen Hoover but I still really enjoyed it. 4 Stars
– Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell: I liked it but didn’t love it. 3.5 Stars
– Anya and the Shy Guy by Suzi Winegarnder: My favourite from the series, and I really enjoyed the writing style of Suzi Winegarnder. 3.5 Stars

So as I said before I was on break from uni. It’s been so good, I was so exhausted from my first semester and it was so good to have a break. So yes I have finished my first semester of uni and I loved it so much. I love my course so much, I learnt so much and cannot wait to learn more.

I also did some brave at the end of the month, something that I have wanted to do since I was 12 years old and I am so glad that I did it. If you follow me on social media you know what I am talking about. I got two tattoos!! I am in love with them so much and they are healing up nicely.
