Wrap Up and October TBR

Hello again,

I know I have been really absent the last couple of months, but sometimes life happens…

Therefore, since a new month have just started I wanted to wrap up the reading I have been doing during the last months and setting up my TBR for this month of October.



During July I was able to read four books, most of them were really captivating and I really liked them. I read Opposition, the last book in the Lux series by Jennifer L. Armentrout, which was a really good conclusion to a good and entertaining series, however there were aspects of the book I would have changed and that made me rating it with four stars.
Then I read the first three books in the Royals series by Erin Watt, Paper Princess, Broken Prince and Twisted Palace. These books were really compelling and exactly what I was looking for when I went into them something that kept me reading. I gave all of them five stars.






And last but not least “The truth about forever” by Sarah Dessen. This is one of the most popular books from this contemporary queen. I had already read something from her and since most her books are really summery, I decided to give it a go. I really loved it, as I said with the previous ones, it was exactly what I was looking for. I also gave it five stars.







Then August came by and I was trying really hard to cope with life in general, since it was a rough month, therefore I was not able to read as much as I was hoping for. I finished three-ish books. I read Hopeless by Colleen Hoover which was a marvelous surprise, since I got into it expecting a contemporary and found a really rough and compelling story which I loved.
Then I finally got around to read “Always and forever, Lara Jean” by Jenny Han the last book in the “To all the boys I’ve loved before”. I liked this book but I did not love the ending that much and it costed me a little to read it, therefore I gave it four stars. However, I still think the series is a sweet and cute contemporary series worth reading.

At the same time, I was reading both these books I was reading “Tarnished crown” a novella inside the “Royals” series by Erin Watt, which was being published chapter by chapter on Wattpad. I liked it but it was that, a novella it did not add much to the series.

About last month, September, I completed three books. I read “Fallen Heir” the fourth book in “The Royals” series by Erin Watt with was published in August. The only thing I would say about it is that I cannot wait to the next one to be released.
Then I read “Silver Silence” by Nalini Singh, which is the first book in the new series “Psy-changeling trinity” which follows the “Psy-changeling series” I liked the book but I founded it a little slower than the previous ones.

Last but not least I finished the “Burn for Burn complete trilogy” book which I also have been reading during July and August. This series was good but the “surprise” revealed on the second book made me not like the book as much. I thought it was going in a direction I did not love. It reminded me of the “Mara Dyer” series I read years ago.


That was it for all my reading, now about my October TBR. I am a little behind on my reading challenge therefore this month I decided to go into the shorter books and I am challenging myself to finish once and for all the “Sweep/Wicca” series by Cate Tiernan, which I started years ago but only get though the five first books. I remember really liking this series and it is really Halloween-y since it is about magic and witches. Therefore, I will be reading: Spellbound, The Calling, Changeling, Strife, Seeker, Origins, Eclipse, Reckoning, Full circle and Night Child; a total of ten books. Let’s see if I’m able to make it. 





Thank you for reading,

I managed to finish the sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, and get thought half of the eleventh.

As for the November TBR, I want to still finish this series, reading the twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth and sixteenth books in the series, Eclipse, Reckoning, Full Circle and Night Child. Appart from that, I want to keep finishing s...
