Unfortunately These Summer Storms was not a hit for our group. The writing felt clunky and the characters fell flat.

Currently reading too many books lol 

I’m reading These Summer Storms for book club (it was my turn to pick the book this month and sadly I am not loving the book so far 😬) AND Project Hail Mary (attempting to finish before seeing the movie on Friday) AND Throne of Glass. 

I’ve been reading a lot this week, but I’ve been in a major reading slump for close to a month now. It’s super disappointing because the first few books I read this year were so amazing. Fingers crossed it’ll pick back up soon 🤞🏻

Told through alternating POVs, The Encore follows Lottie, Anna, and Will during transformative periods in their lives. All three are wildly talented musicians on wildly different paths. Although their lives are different, they are connected in ways they could have never imagined, and the discovery of these connections leads them on quite the journey. They embark on a cross-country tour and are forced to reconcile with their past choices. 

What I loved:
•  The NYC setting 
•  The fashion designer uncle/father figure
•  I learned a LOT about music (as someone who knows next to nothing about music this was very cool to learn about)
•  I appreciated how delicately the author handled heavy topics

What I didn’t love:
•  I was not a huge fan of the big choice Anna made (this choice basically drove the plot of the whole book). I wished it had played out differently, and I had a hard time accepting why she did it. But after more was revealed about her past, I came to understand and respect her decision

Thank you so much for the ARC, @unionsqandco!
Happy Monday! I hope everyone has a great reading Happy Monday! I hope everyone has a great reading week 😇 

I’m reading Project Hail Mary (I actually started it a few months ago and paused for some reason?!) and Wuthering Heights on my kindle. I know the movie isn’t exactly like the book, but I still want to read it before going to see the new movie on 3/1 ❤️‍🔥

Book Review: A Court of Wings and Ruin

Synopsis (taken from Goodreads):

Feyre has returned to the Spring Court, determined to gather information on Tamlin’s actions and learn what she can about the invading king threatening to bring her land to its knees. But to do so she must play a deadly game of deceit. One slip could bring doom not only for Feyre, but for everything-and everyone-she holds dear.

As war bears down upon them all, Feyre endeavors to take her place amongst the High Fae of the land, balancing her struggle to master her powers-both magical and political-and her love for her court and family. Amidst these struggles, Feyre and Rhysand must decide whom to trust amongst the cunning and lethal High Lords, and hunt for allies in unexpected places.

In this thrilling third book in the #1 New York Times bestselling series from Sarah J. Maas, the fate of Feyre’s world is at stake as armies grapple for power over the one thing that could destroy it.

A Court of Wings and Ruin: 4/5

Ahhh this one was amazing! In my opinion, it started out a little slower than the first 2 books, but around chapter 60, ~200 pages towards the end, the plot reallyyy started picking up. Not my favorite of the 3; A Court of Mist and Fury still takes the cake, but I did enjoy it more than ACOTAR.

I spent longer than normal finishing this because I know I only have 2 more left in the series after (and ACOFAS is super short so I’ll prob fly through it) and I don’t want it to end….🥺 Definitely going to read Sarah J. Maas’s other books, but I’m so indecisive and can’t pick which one to start after ACOTAR!

The Cliffs: J. Courtney Sullivan is one of my favorite authors who mainly writes literary fiction, so when I heard she had a newer release I somehow missed, I knew I had to check it out!
