Overall Reflection:
This has been such a great reading month! Changeless by Gail Carriger was a delightful read. I've really come to appreciate and enjoy Carriger's voice! The Dead-Tossed Waves by Carrie Ryan was definitely the most depressing book out of the bunch, but it is a dystopian novel about zombies. :P It was definitely much better than The Forest of Hands and Teeth. How to Ditch Your Fairy by Justine Larbalestier was a fun, light read, which was perfect after reading The Dead-Tossed Waves. I look forward to reading Liar, which also by Larbalestier, in the near future. Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins was a delicious surprise. Paranormal mystery with some humor and romance thrown in for good measure! :P Gentlemen Prefer Succubi and Succubi Like It Hot by Jill Myles came highly recommended, and did not disappoint! I look forward to the third book in the series, which should come out this year! For Keeps by Natasha Friend took me by surprise. I can not state how much I enjoyed this book. I am stiiiill thinking about it. I will definitely be re-reading it in the future! :) The Unwritten Rule by Elizabeth Scott was a bit sad, but had a great ending. I highly enjoyed reading it, and will be reading more of Scott's books in the future. Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver was another amazing book, and a perfect way to finish out the month! Overall, a wonderful reading month. :) I had bit of a dry patch last month, so it was good to get back to my reading roots! Also, as of this month, I have decided that I am going to try and read 75 books this year. I may not make it, but I am sure going to try!
Good job Lily...:D
ReplyDeleteI need to read Before I fall....
I definitely loved Before I Fall -- one of my favorites now. I want to get into The Dead-Tossed Waves!
ReplyDeleteThis seems like a great reading month for you, Lily. That's always awesome to hear :)
9 books - wow, that is quite impressive! Sounds like you had a good month too, with only and 4 and 5 butterfly ratings. I'm glad to see you really liked For Keeps too. I loved that one.
