November To Be Read - List!



Hello, everyone! I'm back, and I'm here to list off the books that I will (hopefully) be reading this month! I've got another substantial list this month, with two books over 400 pages. I also have a book from one of my graduate classes as well as this month's Booksplosion book of the month. Well, with all of that said and done, let's get onto the list!



So I'm starting the first book of this list with the book that I am currently reading. It's The Chess Queen Enigma, third book of the Stoker and Holmes series, and it features our two heroines Evaline Stoker and Mina Holmes. I'm hoping to get a bit deeper in the overarching story, and I have to say that I really hope to get further into the back stories of all of the characters.



Up next is another book that I'm currently reading, except this one is for my America in Revolt class. It's called The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test by Tom Wolfe. What's really cool about this book is that it features the author of a previous book, Ken Kesey. So far, it's a little trippy, but you can guess that from the cover of the novel.



This next book that I'm going to talk about is a bit different from other novels. It's Life and Death: Twilight Reimagined by Stephenie Meyer, which tells the story of Bella and Edward except now they are Beau and Edythe. That's right! It's a genderbent Twilight! If you want to read more about how this version came about, check out my post here! It's safe to say that I'm pretty excited about this book.



This book is probably the most anticipated soon-to-be-released book of November. Of course, it's Winter by Marissa Meyer, the last of the epic Lunar Chronicles series. This book is a bit longer than the others at a whopping 832 pages, but I'm hoping to get it in before the month ends. Fingers crossed!



This is my last book for this month's TBR list and it's this month's Booksplosion Book of the Month! I think this is going to be an interesting read just because it's not like other books. The premise of this book is that it is a collection of hacked materials that tell an overarching story. I'm sure it will all be hashed out when the BookTalk happens, which I will also post on the blog and on twitter!

Well, that's it for this list! It's a bit of a doozy, but let's see if we can do it! Comment down below with some of the books that you're going to be reading this month!

Stories I Ate This Month: May and June 2018

Hello, my lovelies! As you've probably noticed, today's post is going to consist of the stories that I have consumed in the last two months as opposed to just last month. This is mostly because May was a world-wind for me, and I didn't really consume a lot of content. I was mostly running around, trying to get my life in order (not that it's in a particular order at the moment), and other miscellaneous duties that took up most of my time. So today, I'm going to play catch-up and tell you my thoughts on the stories that I've consumed in May and June. Let's get to the reviews! I've read two books in the past couple of months, Death on the Nile  and The A.B.C. Murders . Both are by Agatha Christie and feature Detective Hercule Poirot. Agatha Christie has a way of making a puzzling novel that keeps your attention without making things overly graphic or by adding unnecessary action scenes for the sake of drama. She's one of my favorite mystery auth

Stories I Ate This Month: February 2018

Hello, everyone! I'm back and I'm here to review all of the stories that I consumed this month. Yes, this post is over a month late, but I have plenty of excuses. One: I am exhausted. Two: being an intern is tough. Three: trying to live a normal life is much more difficult than I imagined. So, here I am. I'm late to the game. But I'm very excited to show you what I've read for the month. I hope you enjoy this post! The first two books that I finished this month are The Madness Underneath and The Shadow Cabinet by Maureen Johnson. These two books are the "final" books in the Shades of London series. I say "final" but there has been some speculation that the series has not yet been completed, which I tend to agree with. There are a lot of plot lines that haven't been concluded, and there's a new antagonist introduced in The Shadow Cabinet , and the book basically leaves off with a cliffhanger. With the recent publication of Truly Devious

Stories I Ate This Month: March 2018

So this month has been a bit of a bust. I haven’t read many book or watched that many movies, but the show must go on. Also, as a side note, I haven’t finished any season of any particular television shows this month, but I’ve started a few promising ones that will hopefully be completed in April. But anyway, here’s all the books and movies I’ve conquered this month. The first two books I read this month are The Hanging Tree and Foxglove Summer by Ben Aaronovitch. These books are the 5 th and 6 th book in his Peter Grant series which feature Detective, you guessed it, Peter Grant as he investigates criminal matters in London with a tendency for the supernatural. If you haven’t read my review about the other books of this series, I’ll reiterate. Ben Aaronovitch combines everything that I love within his novels, and does it in such a fashion that you can feel the commitment to his craft with every paragraph. His expertise with the London area and the unordinary is clearly visible
