Sorry for the lateness that is this post. I had it written up but hadn't inserted any pictures and once I did, I was having issues with disappearing paragraphs *le sigh* but here it is:
I seem to have been somewhat absent from by blog. This was due to being SUPER busy with uni and the time I could've spent blogging, I dedicated to filming a video for YouTube instead.
I actually had started a post for my February Wrap Up & March TBR but I just never ended up getting round to finishing it and seeing as it's now April, I think it'll be best to now not worry about it. I did do a video for it so you can watch that instead if you were hanging out for it. I also did a video for this too, so click here and you can watch it.
So like I said, I had a very busy month and I only managed to read two books (sad times). One of them was fairly average and the other was AWESOME.
WRAP UP
1. Girl of Nightmares - Kendare Blake
This is the story following on from Anna Dressed in Blood which I read last month and really enjoyed however, this one I felt was boring and honestly, kind of unnecessary. It does have a story and there was definitely a valid point to it that flowed somewhat nicely, but I would have rather not read it all to be honest. The previous book didn't leave me in need of any more and the only reason I read this was because I knew there was another one. Unless you feel the need or want to read this, I wouldn't bother. It was by no means bad, I just didn't see a point really.
3/5
2. Cress - The Lunar Chronicles
I buddy-read Scarlet last month with a Bookstagram friend last month and loved the experience, so we are continuing on with the series and that lead us to book three (obviously), Cress. Cress stems from the Rapunzel story who has been locked away on a satellite in space, rude right?! Poor Cress... I really loved this story - I felt that I would given how much I liked Scarlet but it was just so damn great. I loved Cress' character and I loved the fact she spent lots of time with Thorne, whom I have found a place in my heart for. This story has multiple POV's but not too many so it's very easy to keep track of and makes for a great story. These books have been so easy to read and if you like anything of the sci-fi/dystopian/fantasy realm, I highly recommend!
5/5
TBR
I'm going to be slightly ambitious this month and aim for five books. I know it's a huge step up from reading two books last month but I am definitely determined! I've also finished the first two books already so I'm hoping to stay on this roll I'm on.
1. A Court of Thorns and Roses - Sarah J Maas
2. A Court of Mist and Fury - Sarah J Maas
With May 2nd approaching I wanted to dive back into a reread of the first two books and I really wanted to stretch them out a bit longer but when you're totally obsessed, well... it's easy to read very quickly. Okay, give me ACOWAR!
3. Defy the Stars - Claudia Gray
A sci-fi novel that follows Noemi and a mech robot thing named Abel, whom should be enemies but need to work together to save Noemi's planet. I've started reading this one and I'm enjoying it so far, it has Illuminae feels to it which makes me happy. Keep an eye out for a full review soon!
4. A Darker Shade of Magic - V.E Schwab
My first VE Schwab novel has me very excited. I've heard so many things about her writing so I'm excited to dive in. I'm also buddy reading this with a friend, Bek, so that makes me even more excited.
5. Fairest - Marissa Meyer
Continuing on with mine and Priya's Lunar Chronicles read is this novella based on the evil that is Queen Levana (dun dun dun!) I'm really looking forward to this story to see what this crazy bitch is thinking.
