But so many obstacles stand in her way. Res excels at his training, until he loses control of his magic, harming Thia in the process. She is also pursued by Prince Ericen, heir to the Illucian throne and the one person she can’t trust but can’t seem to stay away from.

As the rebel group prepares for war, Res’ magic grows more unstable. Thia has to decide if she can rely on herself and their bond enough to lead the rebellion and become the crow rider she was meant to be.

My August TBR

Hey guys! I can’t believe I am already sharing my August TBR with you all. This year has flown by but also felt so slow. Since I had such a good reading month in July I decided I would set a TBR for myself. The books on this list are the main ones I want to get to. I do have some books on hold at the library that might come in, so might squeeze those in too. Right now these are the main ones I would really like to get to. I actually already finished one before even posting this. Let’s dive in to see what I’d like to read in August.

July Wrap-up

Hey guys! In the last couple of months I feel that I ended up hitting a bit of a slump. I am thankful that during June I ended up coming out of that slump. I felt like I ended up reading quite a lot of books in July. In the last couple of months I found myself wanting to only listen to audiobooks. I couldn’t really focus on actually reading. I finally have gotten back into my groove. Let’s dive in and see what I ended up reading in July!

Mid-Year Book Freak Out Tag #3

Hey guys!  I am so excited to be bringing you another Mid-Year Book Freak Out Tag. I was recently reminded of this tag by seeing some people on Youtube talk about. I haven’t been blogging as of late so figured this would be a good way to catch you guys up. So let’s dive in!

What I’ve Read In The Last Couple Of Months

Hey guys! So I have slowly been getting back into blogging. I have posted two reviews after being gone for a couple of months. I was originally thinking maybe I would do indiviual wrap-ups for those months. Then I saw Dora @Berries and Books do just a quick wrap-up of the books she has read since she’s been gone. I thought that would be fun. Thank you so much for the idea! Anyway, the last couple of months my reading has been very up and down. I finally have gotten back into reading which I’m super happy about. So July will have it’s own wrap-up at the end of the month. So let’s dive in and see what I read in the last couple of months!

Update on The 25 Reads Of December

Hey guys! So I am late with this post. I don’t know if you guys saw but in December I posted about Riveted and how they do the 25 Reads Of December. You can find the post HERE. They had a different book free each day in December leading up to Christmas. I discovered this 3 years ago. I love this idea because even if you can’t read the whole book in a day you can sample it and see if it’s worth picking up. I also love that a good amount of the books are releases from that year. So people who weren’t able to buy these books or get them from the library have a chance to access them. It’s just a really wonderful thing.

Last year I kept my list short because I knew it was going to be a busy month. It ended up being really busy and I only ended up picking up one of the books I wanted to read. So let’s dive in and see what I read, attempted to read and missed out on!

January Wrap-up

Hey guys I am excited to share with you the books I read in January. I feel I ended up reading a lot of books that gave me mixed feelings. My ratings were kind of all over the place for this month. One of the books I ended up reading was a huge disappoint. I also ended up reading a book that I absolutely loved. I was a bit bummed about this but hope February ends up being a better reading month. So let’s dive in and see what I read.

Blogmas Day 1: 25 Reads Of December

Hey guys! So I have decided once again that I will be partaking in Blogmas. I took part in it last year even though I started a couple of days late. This year I am aiming to start on time. I will be blogging up until Christmas. I don’t know if I will do anything longer than that but decided this would be fun to do.

So I was originally going to make today’s post a TBR. This is kinda a TBR in a way. I will have a different TBR up tomorrow. I just wanted to post this first because this is something I find really cool. So I don’t know how long this has been going on for, but Riveted is doing the 25 Reads of Christmas. So this means everyday leading up to Christmas a different book will be free to read for one day. I really love this idea so much. They always include so many amazing books that are in different genres. Also they have a good amount of books that have just recently come out this year. So I really would like to read some of the books.

So I’m going to post about which books I’d like to read. Then I will update you when it is over and tell you if I actually ended up reading those books or not. I might even try some of the others books if there are ones here you think I should read. So let’s dive in!

Comic Review: Pumpkinheads By Rainbow Rowell & Faith Erin Hicks

Pages: 209 pages
Published: August 27th 2019
Publisher: First Second
My Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars

Synopsis: Deja and Josiah are seasonal best friends.

Every autumn, all through high school, they’ve worked together at the best pumpkin patch in the whole wide world. (Not many people know that the best pumpkin patch in the whole wide world is in Omaha, Nebraska, but it definitely is.) They say good-bye every Halloween, and they’re reunited every September 1.

But this Halloween is different—Josiah and Deja are finally seniors, and this is their last season at the pumpkin patch. Their last shift together. Their last good-bye.

Josiah’s ready to spend the whole night feeling melancholy about it. Deja isn’t ready to let him. She’s got a plan: What if—instead of moping and the usual slinging lima beans down at the Succotash Hut—they went out with a bang? They could see all the sights! Taste all the snacks! And Josiah could finally talk to that cute girl he’s been mooning over for three years . . .

What if their last shift was an adventure?

October Wrap-up

Hey guys! I am so excited to share with you my October Wrap-up! I actually read books a good amount of books this month. I have been in a bit of a slump/not wanting to read mood so I was happy to breeze through so many books. I feel like overall I enjoyed the books I read this month. I think only one really stood out to me. That was a book I wasn’t really planning on picking up either. So let’s dive in and see what I read last month!
