OWls Update #2 (Obsidio, ACOTAR, Throne of Glass)

Dear Reader,
I have 3 and 1/2 days to finish Empire of Storms and read the entire Serpent & Dove.
Hahahaha, ha.

Hey, hi, how ya doing ;)
I am slowly going insane. But, it's okay because I have books and I have food. As for progress. I'll tell you what I've done these last (almost) 2 weeks.

So I finished City of ashes (whoop whoop) and finished that about 8 days ago. Then I started A court of thorns and roses on that same day. I finished that around 5 days later and then started Obsidio. I finished that yesterday and now I am 629 pages into Empire of Storms. So, I'm doing good, but I still have so much to read and I don't know If I'll reach this goal.
One thing about Empire of Storms- why is the term, 'with feline grace' used about a billion times for every single character. I am enjoying it but it is definitely not my favourite of the throne of Glass series but i've really enjoyed all my ships coming together. I'm hoping to finish this book today and start serpent and dove tomorrow. For that, I'm going to read the physical copy and the audiobook to speed along the progress. This was just a quick update I'll go into detail about the books in my next summary post. Thank you so much for following this journey with me :) I'd love to hear about what you're reading this last week of OWLs and in general. drop we an email!
Love,
Issy xx

7 Songs that...

snow-dance-alana-tousignant.jpg (900×675) (fineartamerica.com) Dear Reader,  This is a book blog, with a strange amount of Taylor Swift references sure, but a book blog still.  Today, I choose to write about music!  These songs, the 7 favourites and 3 honourable mentions I have picked are unexplainably attached to my mind. In this blog, I try to explain.  Let's get started:  1. "Heroes" by David Bowie  Despite my adoration of Bowie, who I own 1/2 of his discography on vinyl,  several vintage collectors magazines of, and 4 thrifted posters hung up in my room of- my attachment to this song, funnily enough sprung from my love of a book- so I would say is a great number one for easing my regular readers into this change of brand (don't worry this is a one time thing). To those who have digested the novel/film: The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky, you will know the scene where these characters, some of my all time favourites, drive through a ...

Just for December by Laura Jane Williams

Just for December by Laura Jane Williams: review Dear reader,  To Start with, thank you so much for the lovely girls at Avon Harper Collins for gifting me this proof around the holidays! This book was absolutely delightful, and extremely well timed. I cracked open this book on the same day the skies decided to comply with Michael Bublé and while it might not be a white Christmas, as the rain seems to have washed it away now, it made to be pretty idyllic conditions to read this book. I went into this book feeling festive and ready for something to give me all the fuzzy Christmas feelings, which it provided along with a lot more feelings than I predicted. Williams manages to craft cliches and worn-out tropes to make them seem like nothing of the sort and in fact- revive them. Enemies to lovers has not been done so humanly in a very long time, and all you have to do to see that statement holds meaning is scroll through my other reviews and see that the enemies to lover’s trope...

Before the coffee gets cold a book talk (Non-spoiler! You're welcome)

Before the Coffee Gets Cold: Amazon.co.uk: Kawaguchi, Toshikazu, Trousselot, Geoffrey: 9781529029581: Books Dear Reader,  This review will not contain spoilers, so feel free to read if you haven't yet read the book, and with that let's begin:  These stories definitely build in intensity as you plough on, with subtly building engagement. The first two stories for me provided little interest, a point at which usually I would choose to DNF and call my loses. However, something about the writing, simple but almost translucent into the lives of these individuals, gave me the impression that it had more to give despite the seemingly stagnant story endings.  I think the best way to describe my growth to loving this book is recognising the beauty within its simplicity. As a predominantly YA reader myself, I couldn't help but expect this book to tie up in a perfect interloping knot at the end. My hope of this, I see now, may have blinded me to the crystal  humanity being bare...
