This month was another slow month for reading. I am finding more and more difficult to find time to read because of the added pressure with work, but any free time I do have I usually spend it with my head in a book. Some of the books this month have been chunky reads and they did take me a while to finish, so I think thats another reason why I didn’t get much read this month. Hopefully next month will be a more productive month for reading, but with it being Christmas I don’t think I will.
The books I did manage to read in November were-
Magnus Chase and the Sword of Summer by Rick Riordan
I have had the book sat on my self for a while and after being sent the third book in the series I thought it was time to finally start it. I can’t believe I left it so long before giving this series a go because I enjoyed every minute reading this book and I cannot wait to see what happens next in this series.
Magnus Chase and the Sword of Summer Review
I rated this book 4/5 stars
Magnus Chase and the Hammer of Thor by Rick Riordan
After enjoying the first book in the series I had high hopes for this book. I wouldn’t say it is better than the first book but it’s definitely not worse. I enjoyed it just as much and will continue to read the series. I did feel the characters were a little more fleshed out in this book compared to the first book.
Review coming soon
I rated this book 4/5 stars
The Last Namsara by Kristen Ciccarelli
Again this was another book that I’ve had sitting on my shelf for a while and after seeing some really positives reviews, I thought it was time to read it myself and see what all the fuss is about. I am so glad I did give it a read because I absolutely loved every minute reading it.
I rated this book 5/5 stars
Sleeping Beauties by Stephen King and Owen King
After reading IT a few weeks back I wanted to read another Stephen King book and when I read the description for this one I knew I had to give it a read. With it being a chunky book it did take me a while to finish it but I did enjoy it. I don’t think I liked it as much as IT but its still a good book to read.
Review coming soon
I rated this book 4/5 stars
The Traitor’s Crux by Jessica Prather
I read the description for the book a while back and I knew I had to read it as soon as it was released. I really enjoyed reading this book because it had everything you need for a solid young adult book. It kept me interested until the very end and it was a fast and easy read.
Review coming soon
I rated this book 4/5 stars
Book of the Month
My book of the month this month is The Last Namsara by Kristen Ciccarelli wasn’t hard to choose because I fell in love with this book straight away. The world, the characters and the storyline just grabbed me from the very first page and didn’t let me go until I read the last word. I loved how it was written and I could visualise everything so vividly in my mind while reading this book. I cannot wait to see where the series will go from here and I need to read the next book soon because I need to be part of this world again. I think this book could be one of my favourite reads of the year.
