I WAS LITERALLY THE WORST BLOGGER IN THE WORLD THIS WEEK!
Whoops?
Currently reading
Rebel Spring (Falling Kingdoms #2) by Morgan Rhodes, Michelle Rowen
Continuing this book and series with the (really awesome) Falling Kingdoms Fantasy League group. This week we covered chapters 11 – 15. Not so much enjoying this book, but loving the group discussions! Looking forward to more fun predictions and discussions over the course of the next few weeks!
The Black Witch (The Black Witch #1) by Laurie Forest
I was able to get a few more chapters read in The Black Witch this week. This story is well written and developing nicely! I am really excited to focus more on this book this week. There has been a lot of recent controversy over this book, and so far from my own experience and research, this controversy has been completely misrepresented and unwarranted.
The Copper Promise (The Copper Cat #1) by Jen Williams
I continued reading The Copper Promise with a fellow GR friend and reviewer (Follow her Instagram @haileesbooksandstuff). I was really only able to get maybe 2 more chapter through this because Lord of Shadows monopolized my reading time this week. But still a lot of snark, a lot of brutal stuff, and I’m getting major Indiana Jones vibes … so basically ALL GREAT THINGS! I am very much looking forward to reading more of this story over the following week.
Lord of Shadows (The Dark Artifices #2) by Cassandra Clare
NO BIG DEAL … ONLY MY MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF 2017 WAS RELEASED THIS WEEK! (ok I lied, it’s totally a big deal!).
I honestly feel like the most blessed human on the earth right now to have this book in hand … and I’m already almost finished reading it. From the very beginning, it has been one of the most beautifully painful reads of the year and I love it! From the first line of the inner cover blurb, I knew this was going to be a heart shattering read.
“Would you trade your soulmate for your soul?”
I mean crap! tears already! This book is a part of my soul from the very beginning! Here are a few of my Goodreads updates on this book so you can see what I mean:
2.36% “I’ve already teared up 3 times … this is not a good sign.”
8.75% “I have already experienced ever emotion there is and I’m only on chapter 4!”
16.53% “OMG MY HEART”
27.78% “The tension in my chest … the one that feels like my heart is being ripped from it … has not relaxed at all since I started this book!
31.94% “Im going to need to lay on the floor for a week and contemplate the meaning of life after this book NO LIE”
64.58% “I think that makes 10 times I have shed tears reading this book ….
keep in mind I am an emotional wreck so it’s not that surprising.”
Yep … you get the idea! Total emotional destruction and 100% worth the pain! Unfortunately I am heading out for family vacation (where I will be shoved into a 1 bedroom mountain condo with 5 people in total) … so I don’t foresee being able to finish the last 200 pages until Monday (boo).
Finished Reading
This week was monopolized by Lord of Shadows in all honesty. But I was able to get an audio read in this week.
Any Duchess Will Do (Spindle Cove #4) by Tessa Dare
Another fantastic read in Tessa Dare’s Spindle Cove series. Regency romance is not a genre that I had given a chance until recently and I have enjoyed each and every book in this series so far! This particular book was perhaps the worst as far as inta-love I have read by Dare … but I honestly didn’t care because everything else was on point! Beautiful heartfelt story and sexy moments. I have not yet written a review for this book, but I gave it 4/5 stars.
Weekly Outlook
This next week I will be finishing up with my Currently Reading list and hopefully starting The Goblins of Bellwater by Molly Ringle. Also I will be designating a lot of time to writing and posting reviews!
Heading to the mountains for a quick family vacation this weekend … then it’s read read read for the rest of the week!
As always, I wish everyone a happy and enjoyable week!

I’m so glad you’re enjoying the Falling Kingdoms series! 🙂 I can’t wait for Immortal Reign *-*
I did see many negative reviews for The Black Witch and am happy to know they are unfounded. It would be a shame to have one more awful book looming over our community.
It does seem like some people took it the wrong way (but hey, it’s their opinion and everyone should respect it) and ten thousand others followed without actually reading it, which is a bit ridiculous. If you’re going to bash, you should first read the book and analyze it for yourself. To each his own, of course, but personally I prefer to form my own opinions beforehand.
Glad to know you feel the same way 🙂 Hopefully, it’ll be an awesome read!
