Top Ten Tuesday: Books on My Autumn TBR

Image
1. The Deathless Girls by Kiran Millwood Hargrave I first heard about this book on bookstagram and I'm really looking forward to reading it,  I'm saving this for October for one of those kind of 'spooky' feel reads. I'm also really glad I was able to pick up a signed edition from Waterstones! 2. Wayward Son by Rainbow Rowell My feelings about this can be summarised as: I've also just started a re-read of 'Carry On' in preparation for this and I'm so excited to be back with Baz and Simon again, our two dumb gays.  3. The Folk of Air series by Holly Black No one ever shuts up about these books! So I've decided I'm gonna read them, because they hype has not died down and that's telling me something - either you're all on your twilight shit again or this actually good. Only time will tell with this one, but I am excited to dive into it and see what it's all about.  4. City of Ghosts by Victor

Smoke In The Sun by Renée Adieh Review

This was a dreadful book. I appreciate what Renée was trying to do, but it just fell really really flat for me. Unlike 'Flame In The Mist', which despite all it's flaws was a quick and enjoyable read, this unfortunately still had all the flaws but none of the fun reading! In this book Mariko is still a dry and unbuttered piece of toast - tasteless. She's so exceptionally dumb and she doesn't really do much in this book - not that I can remember anyway. At the end of the last book she decides to go with her lover to the capitol to help save him and their whole crew by working from the inside or something - honestly my memory is a little rusty because I've tried to block that book from my mind. But really, she's fucking useless again . She does absolutely nothing that furthers the plot which is weird for the main protagonist? And I feel like all she does is wallow in her own misery and then be outsmarted by everyone again, no matter that she's meant

Taylor Swift's Lover Book Tag

I have not been able to stop listen to Taylor Swift's 'Lover' since it came out, I absolutely love the album and it's one of the few that I can listen to all the way through without skipping any songs. So when I saw Mari at Musings of a Book Girl had created this tag I knew I had to do it. This tag is all hers and the graphic included in this was created by her as well The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer is a book I had... feelings about lets say. I really, really dislike this book and even after all this time after reading it my feelings towards this are still negative and very strong. I would be completely okay if this book vanished from The Earth.  Gosh there's so many books I could pick for this one but I'm going to go with a recent read with La Belle Sauavge by Phillip Pullman. The two protagonist Alice and Malcom, and their respective demons go through so much shit in this book that at times it's hard to believe they're still a
