My Reading Week | 29th November - 5th December | Von Armin, Roseanne A. Brown & S.T. Gibson.



In this weekly post I am also including the previous week because I only managed to finish Vera by Elizabeth Von Armin and I didn't wanna do a post to include just a couple of lines about a single book. About Vera, I'll say it was a terrifying read. Von Armin manages to depict perfectly well what phycological abuse within a relationship is. It is an incredibly readable novel despite its subject matter. The ending is feels like a nightmare. The whole story is a cautionary tale.

DEC, 4th - Finished A Song of Wraiths and Ruin by Roseanne A. Brown. I had fun with it but I struggled with the writing at the beginning as well as the obvious lack of information about the world and magic system (which was intentional for plot development). I do think it has a lot of potential and I'm intrigued to see where the story goes next.

DEC, 5th - After seeing A Dowry of Blood all over booktube and tiktok I decided to give it a go. I don't tend to have the greatest luck with hyped up books *cough* The Spanish Love Deception *cough* but I am happy to report this one did live up to the hype. The writing lured me in from page 1, it was extremely compelling. Shows very well the suffocating nature of abusive relationships.

Reading Diary | February Books | 2018

Feb, 1st - 15:15. Finished the second book in the first volume of the Riyria Revelations and I was pleasantly surprised. I still think the world building is the weakest thing about the story because it's not greatly developed but the story is well-written and entertaining. I'm planning on continuing reading the series because now I'm intrigued enough to want to know how everything will unfold. Feb, 7th - 10:33.  I'm finally prepared to go and see the movie Call Me By Your Name because I just finished reading the novel. I enjoyed it quite a bit. It is a celebration of love and an exploration of sex and identity. It's quite explicit though so if you feel uncomfortable with that keep it in mind if you're planning on reading it. My full review of the book is HERE (I also talk a little bit about the movie).
