Book Series I’m planning to start and finish in 2020

Every book lover ends up with a bunch of uncompleted series on their shelf. Happens to me all the time and every year the list just gets longer. I’ve made a list of book series that I’m hoping to start and finish this year. Hopefully. I’ll be doing my best to update you all on the blog every few months with my progress. I have so many series on this list!

Series to finish

 

Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor

Strange the Dreamer is one of my favorite books of all time. A book dedicated to every book lover out there with beautiful writing and amazing characters. And somehow I haven’t read Muse of Nightmares yet? Absolutely unacceptable, I know. I’m determined to read this book this year. Since I can’t leave the house it’s probably about damn time.

5 Star Predictions #1 | Will these book help make my year?

A long awaited post! I’ve found some titles that have left me surprised this year. Some unexpected ones were 5 star reads which is always great. I’ve seen a lot of book bloggers do this and so I thought I would try it too. I’m going to start with a few books that I’ll be reading this month and maybe the next. Hopefully report back with how it went. I’m really hoping this isn’t a complete flop. Do you have any 5 star predictions?

5 Star Predictions

We Free the Stars by Hafsah Faizal

The sequel to the New York Times–bestselling We Hunt the Flame, Zafira and Nasir must conquer the darkness around—and inside of—them.

The captivating closing installment to the Sands of Arawiya duology!

The battle on Sharr is over. The dark forest has fallen. Altair may be captive, but Zafira, Nasir, and Kifah are bound for Sultan’s Keep, determined to finish the plan he set in motion: restoring the hearts of the Sisters of Old to the minarets of each caliphate, and finally returning magic to all of Arawiya. But they are low on resources and allies alike, and the kingdom teems with fear of the Lion of the Night’s return.

As the zumra plots to overthrow the kingdom’s darkest threat, Nasir fights to command the magic in his blood. He must learn to hone his power into a weapon, to wield not only against the Lion but against his father, trapped under the Lion’s control. Zafira battles a very different darkness festering in her through her bond with the Jawarat—a darkness that hums with voices, pushing her to the brink of her sanity and to the edge of a chaos she dare not unleash. In spite of the darkness enclosing ever faster, Nasir and Zafira find themselves falling into a love they can’t stand to lose…but time is running out to achieve their ends, and if order is to be restored, drastic sacrifices will have to be made.

I got an arc of this! This is one of my highly anticipated books of 2021. I’ve started reading it already and I’m so hoping it will be a 5 star read. I need it to be a 5 star read. I’m attached to these characters and I love that the story has a unique twist to it. (Thank you Farrar, Straus and Giroux for the gifted review copy!)

The Readathon Diaries | Team Vampire TBR

Okay, teenage me is thriving! On Twitter the other day it was announced that there would be a The Vampire Diaries themed readathon happening in June titles The Readathon Diaries (Click on that link to get all the details). I of course would never pass up a chance to join a readathon like this. There are three teams to choose from (Werewolves, Witches, and Vampires) and from the headline I think you know which team I chose. This came at the perfect time because my best friends and I decided to rewatch The Vampire Diaries together next month! Keep reading to see the book on my tbr for this readathon.

A Game of Booksathon TBR

My #AGameofBooksathon TBR is here!

This readathon (like many others) has been in my head for some time now. I’ve never watched Game of Thrones but I’ve always wanted to read the books. So I created a GoT themed readathon. There is a group book which will be A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin. I’ll be explaining more as I go along.

If you’re interested in joining the readathon you can find more info, here. As well as the sign up page, here.

DIY Painted Book Edges

As of recent, the book community has been obsessed with sprayed book edges. I am one of those people. DIY sprayed edges has also become something everyone is trying. I’ve seen so many pictures in the past week alone!

I never thought I’d try and paint my books. Like ever. I’m the kind of person who doesn’t write in her books. I can’t even break the spine! But I was tempted to try this, and surprisingly, it turned out perfectly!

I was asked to make a tutorial on how to paint book edges. So, in today’s post I’ll be showing you how to do that!

Author Interview | S.K. Ali, Author of Love From A to Z

 

Today’s interview is very very special to me.

 

Say hello to S.K. Ali, author of Saints and Misfits and Love From A to Z. I am so thrilled to be interviewing one of the most wonderful people on the planet. I read Love From A to Z this year and I can’t explain how grateful I am to have read this book. I felt represented like I’ve never felt before. I made a vow to myself to never stop hyping this book. I really can’t wait for everyone to read it.

Mini Review: Warm Up (Villains, #0.5) by V.E. Schwab

Warm Up

Author: Victoria Schwab // Publication date: August 20, 2013

★★★

It’s been 297 days since David died–and came back.

He may have survived the avalanche, but the aftermath has been far worse. His wife moved out, taking his son with her, and a devastated David hasn’t left his house since, terrified of the mysterious new power that followed him home from the ill-fated expedition.

After months in seclusion, David’s ready for a fresh start, and ventures out, determined to keep his power in check. But David’s power isn’t the one he needs to worry about.
