Wide-Eyed Reader

I know I did a bit of a disappearing act in the last couple of months, apologies! I've been trying to figure out how to live in the way the world is right now, but I'm going to do my best to write reviews regularly here! So, in the month of June, I plan to read sequels and finish a few series I enjoy! First up is a book I've already started, The Ask and The Answer  by Patrick Ness. I read the first in the series, The Knife of Never Letting Go , in April and adored it, and I was lucky enough to find the second book from ThriftBooks. I've already been sucked back in, and I'm very excited to go on this journey. Second: Now I Rise and Bright We Burn  by Kiersten White. These are the two sequels to And I Darken , which I have actually read twice! I even have a signed copy of Now I Rise , so the fact that I haven't read them yet is surprising. So, I look forward to getting into them soon! Next, I plan to read The Midnight Star  by Marie Lu, the final ...

I'm very excited to share my March TBR! The Goodreads group I'm a part of, The Reading Frenzy , is running a "Travel-a-Thon" themed challenge each month this year, and for March, the "place" we are traveling to is Ireland! So all of the prompts are themed after Ireland or Irish things. I've got the prompts listed below, so you can check them out and see which books match which prompts! Brogue: read a book with a title that rhymes. For this prompt, I could only find My Plain Jane by Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows! That's just fine by me, as My Plain Jane  is a Jane Eyre retelling, and Jane Eyre is one of my all-time favorite books! Shamrock: read a book with a green cover. The first book that I found for this prompt was Splintered by A.G. Howard! I've heard lots of good things about this one, so I'm excited! Good Luck: close your eyes and randomly choose a book from your shelf. So for this one, I chose to only use my ...

For the month of July, a Goodreads group I'm a part of ( The Reading Frenzy ) is doing a TBR challenge! The theme is "Run Away With the Circus". The above are my choices, designed to match the categories as follows: Menagerie: Read a book with an animal in the title - The Bear and the Nightingale  by Katherine Arden, which I've already started and am enjoying so far! Big Top: Read a book with red and white on the cover - The Night Circus  by Erin Morgenstern. I've not yet read this novel, despite a desire to for years, so I'm very excited to get started on it! Cotton Candy: Read a light and fluffy book - Grimm's Fairy Tales . I don't have many "fluffy" books, so I thought fairy tales were a good substitute! Flyers: Read a book about/set in space - Artemis  by Andy Weir. I love Weir's first novel, The Martian , so of course I bought this one when it came out. I hope it's just as good! Grandstand: Read a hyped b...
