My life has been a bit wild, so I majorly slacked off with updating my blog. My Instagram and Twitter have been updated much more often, but the blog? Not so much. That’s something that will be changing this upcoming year, because I will be queuing posts more and also have a calendar of posts. Also, you can expect a post in the next few days (it will be a tour posts!) so look out for that!
Between NaNoWriMo, a short story, and my admittedly insane reading goals, I’ve been kind of all over the place. But here’s some of the books I’ve read since the last time I posted, with ratings and whether I’d recommend them. I may write more in depth reviews, but here’s the TLDR for now.
Would not recommend. There are far better horse books out there. If you need recommendations for them, hit me up. I can provide Many.
Solid book. I enjoyed many aspects of this. I’m not sure if it’s one I’d re-read, but I would definitely recommend as either a gift, or a purchase for yourself.
I am so torn about this book. I didn’t rate it after reading it. I’m still not quite sure how I feel about it. It’s definitely not for everyone. I think it’s an important book. I’d have to re-read it to really decide how I wanted to rate it, so for now I’ll reserve judgement on the rating.
Major trigger warnings for rape (which I was not expecting from the character it happens to, and no, it’s not just from the murder victim). Also for drug abuse and quite a few other things. Aspects of this book were so good. But the ending was just. I don’t want to spoil the book but if you honestly find the premise really interesting and are concerned about triggers, I’m happy to discuss it. Because this book is a minefield. I hated the ending. It was one of the most deeply un-feminist things I’ve ever seen in a book in recent years and I just. No. I don’t know how else to phrase it. Ugh. I liked so much of this book that it pains me to have to rate it one star but the ending ruined it.
So those are the main books I’ve been consuming as of late. Right now I’m reading Immoral Code and SPELLHACKER, and a few others. Because why read one when you can read 7 or 8 books, am I right?
This is very random, but I’m going to get a new bullet journal for the new year and it’s kind of to treat myself–so any suggestions? What’s your favorite journal, pens, etcetera? I like midsize journals, not tiny ones. I used to like Moleskine but I don’t think I like them as much for bullet journals. Drop your thoughts in the comments if you want, and/or tell me what you’re reading this month! Happy holidays!
