April 2017 Wrap-Up

This month, while I didn't read a whole lot of books, was still a good reading month for me. Most of the books I read I absolutely loved. I did start a few and ended up DNF-ing them, but the ones that I finished, I absolutely loved! I have found a new favorite series and I'm super pumped for ACOWAR releasing TOMORROW!!!! Anyways, I read 7 books this month! Actually, I read 5 and listened to 2 but it still counts!

~~~

1.
Title: A Portrait of Pain
Author: Jane Washington
Rating: 5/5 stars
Review: http://laurensboookshelf.blogspot.com/2017/04/lets-talk-seraph-black-series.html
Guys...I cried a lot in this book. It was (mostly) good tears. Everything I wanted to happen in this book did happen...but then it ended. I don't want this series to be over. I'm filled with such sadness that I won't get to experience new stories with Seraph, Noah, Cabe, Miro, and Silas. But more on my feelings in my series review (link above). 

2. 
Title: The Bone Season
Author: Samantha Shannon
Rating: 5/5 stars
I loved this book so much! It was honestly so different than I expected but so much better. I had super high hopes for this book due to the hype surrounding it as well as my personal anticipation when this book was on its way in the mail, and it blew all of it out of the water. All I can say is that this book surprised me when I didn't think that I could be surprised and I loved it to no end. This is definitely one of my favorite series now and I can't wait for the next on to arrive in the mail (hopefully soon). 

3.
Title: Oscar et la dame rose
Author: Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt
Rating: 4/5 stars
I had to read this book for AP French and I enjoyed it. I wouldn't go as far to say I loved it, but it was enjoyable and sweet and heartbreaking. There were a lot of life lessons in the book and the ending just slayed me. We're currently watching the movie in class and while there are some differences, I really enjoy it (especially the wrestling matches---those are downright hilarious). 

4.
Title: When The Dead Come A Knockin'
Author: B.L. Brunnemer
Rating: 5/5 stars
I just randomly decided to start reading this one night before bed and, woh, I had it finished the next day. This world, this story, and these characters are simply amazing and I just love immersing myself in this series. This reread was everything I needed to help with the insane amount of stress on my shoulders right now. 

5. 
Title: The Boys Who Challenged Hitler: Knud Pedersen and the Churchill Club
Author: Phillip Hoose
Rating: 5/5 stars
This is a nonfiction book, for starters, which is why it took me over a month to finish reading it. But it was very interesting and I find myself wanting to know more about the Danish-occupied WWII. I have always been fascinated by WWII, especially after visiting the Normandy beaches, cliffs, and bunkers from D-Day. This book showed me a completely new part of the war that I knew absolutely nothing about. It was fascinating and I quite enjoyed the story of Knud and his friends.

6.
Title: A Court of Mist and Fury
Author: Sarah J. Maas
Rating: INFINITY stars
I listened to the audiobook for my reread before ACOWAR releases at the beginning of May (so soon!), and let me tell you guys, the audiobook is AMAZING! At first I had my reservations but then I fell in love. Hearing the story, the different voices, the emotions! I loved it so much. Hearing the different emotions and ways the characters actually were versus emotions or actions we might miss when reading was fantastic. The last few chapters absolutely destroyed me. I think that from here on out the audiobook is how I'm going to reread books before the next book in a series comes out. In other news, this book absolutely destroyed me again and I need the next one in my hands right now. It is totally not fair that there are people out there who have gotten it early, but I wish I was one of those. 

7.
Title: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
Author: J.K. Rowling
Rating: 5/5 stars
I listened to the audiobook narrated by Eddie Redmayne and it was fantastic! I really enjoyed hearing about the different creatures of the wizarding world, and listening to Eddie's perfect voice was just the icing on top of the cake.

Thanks for reading everyone!

Let's Talk: The Bone Season

Title: The Bone Season
Author: Samantha Shannon
Series: "The Bone Season" #1
Genre: Sci-Fi/Fantasy
Page Length: 466 pages
Publication Date: August 20, 2013
Date Started: April 3, 2017
Date Finished: April 6, 2017
Rating: 5/5 stars
Goodreads
Amazon

I loved this book! I had pretty high expectations going into this book for a couple reasons. One, there is a massive amount of hype on bookstagram over this series. Two, I had been steadily growing more and more excited with every day that this book was in the mail and on its way to my house. I had an idea about what I thought this book was about, and it was nothing like I expected. It was even better.

So, let's start at the very beginning with the world. This book had A LOT of world building in it. A lot of the time when there is this much world building I lose interest pretty quick (unless there's action). I'd heard from numerous sources that you just simply had to get past the main part of the world building and that's when you would get sucked into the story. This wasn't a problem for me, though, as the world building was pretty interesting. It was exciting getting to know all about this alternate history and clairvoyant types that were present in this book.

I never felt that the plot was dragging. I was worried with such a huge book and such an intricate world that I would feel like the plot was slow and that it wouldn't hold my interest. That was not the case. There was an equal balance of world building, action, and planning. I was always invested in what was going on. I loved the slow burn and I loved the time that was taken for this plot. I flew through this book despite there not being big action scenes most of the time. I thought that the plot itself was interesting and unique. I haven't read a story like this before. There was suspense around every corner and the author liked to flip things on you. I liked that I never knew just quite where things were headed.

Let's get into the characters now, shall we? I loved all the characters. Julian and Liss and Michael were fun to read about even if they weren't the main characters. I loved loved loved all the backstory with Nick and Paige and how they met. There was one scene with them that absolutely broke my heart (in a good way). I can't wait to see how their platonic relationship progresses in the next book. Jaxon was an interesting character. I think in my mind I see his personality as that of a slightly less evil Moriarty from the TV show Sherlock. I think that deep down Jaxon cares about his syndicate, and I really hope we see that come out and play in the next book.

But of course I can't leave out Warden. Ahhh Warden. I have added a new beau to my book boyfriend harem. I swear, if this harem were real I would need a freaking hotel for the insane number of book boyfriends I have. It took me a while to warm up to Warden, and I ended up really liking his character, his thoughts and actions, and him in general. I don't want to say much else for fear of spoiling the book, but I totally understand the hype and love surrounding Warden because I LOVE him.

And last but not least, Miss Paige Mahoney, the Pale Dreamer herself. Paige is a dreamwalker (a rarer type of clairvoyant). I found her clairvoyancy fascinating and I can't wait to read more about it. Her abilities were so interesting and had so many ways that a person could use (or manipulate) them. I think that we will definitely see more growth in her abilities in the next book. Her personality itself is fun and I liked reading about her as a character. She knew how to stay alive but she also knew how to make it quite clear to those around her how she felt about her situation. I wish that I had the bravery that Paige has. She's thoughtful and empathetic and genuinely cares about her friends and even people around her that she doesn't know. I loved Paige's character and I'm excited to read more about her in the next book.

There were obviously some characters I hated, but that was because they were such excellent bad guys. They are those characters that you love to hate. The ones like Voldemort or Moriarty or Loki. You don't necessarily want to be their best friend, but you enjoy reading about their sadistic, psychopathic, sociopathic, or just plain evil ways. Don't get me wrong, I really want these bad guys to die in a hole, but they are such well written bad guys.

For my summary of my thoughts: I adored this book. I knew I was going to like it but it went beyond my wildest hopes and dreams. I loved the characters, world, and plot. We get a lot of well-written books in this world, but I truly believe that this book is in the top percentage. I am so excited to read book 2 and then get on to book 3. When I heard it was a 7-book series, I almost jumped for joy. During the wait times, however, I can simply reread the series and read the two companion ebooks.

Everyone should read this book. It is unlike anything I have ever read, which is surprising considering so many books share the same tropes. I am excited for this series and will definitely be rereading favorite scenes whenever I see the books on my shelf and get the urge to revisit this world and these characters.

I loved this book so much. It will definitely be going in my top 10 books I've read this year.

Thanks for reading!

Let's Talk: The "Seraph Black" Series

It's time for another series review! This round: The Seraph Black series by Jane Washington! This is one of my all time favorite indie series and I can't wait to discuss it with y'all! (Reviews were written at the time I read each installment)

~

Book 1
Title: Charcoal Tears
Author: Jane Washington
Series: "Seraph Black" #1
Genre: RH Romance/Paranormal
Page Length: 268 pages
Publication Date: September 14, 2015
Date Started: November 12, 2016
Date Finished: November 13, 2016
Rating: 5/5 stars

I enjoyed this book from the first page. It went a completely different direction than I thought it would, but I loved it. I love all of the guys in their own way and I really hope that things turn out for the main character. There were times when my heart literally hurt from events happening in this novel and I have already bought the second one (despite my bank account dipping dangerously low). I am excited to continue with the next few books and see how everything turns out for Seph and her boys.

~

Book 2
Title: Watercolour Smile
Author: Jane Washington
Series: "Seraph Black" #2
Genre: RH Romance/Paranormal
Page Length: 286 pages
Publication Date: February 29, 2016
Date Started: November 13, 2016
Date Finished: November 14, 2016
Rating: 5/5 stars

Oh lord this book f*cked with my feelings so hard. Below is an accurate depiction of me at the end of this book (while sitting in class):
Things got bad in this book, and then they got slightly better and raised my hopes up. And then it got worse, so much worse. My hopes were shot down, trampled over by a taxi, dragged through horse manure, dropped in a fire, incinerated then drowned, and finally shoved in an iron coffin to be buried deep underground. I loved it. It was an amazing book. The ending perfectly set up the next one and I almost cried in the middle of class (that's a lie: I actually cried). I was getting weird looks and everything. I loved everything that happened with the boys and the ending just slayed me. It was a Sarah J. Maas-in-Empire of Storms level ending. I needed the next book immediately, and i bought it despite not having ANY money. And I read it in one day. It was fabulous.

~

Book 3
Title: Lead Heart 
Author: Jane Washington
Series: "Seraph Black" #3
Genre: RH Romace/Paranormal
Page Length: 284 pages
Publication Date: September 30, 2016
Date Started: November 14, 2016
Date Finished: November 14, 2016
Rating: 5/5 stars

How can a book have so many bloody plot twists and feels? Argh!!! I loved it, don't get me wrong, but I was mindf*cked at every turn. This book blew my freaking mind! I'm sure if it was possible for a book to actually kill you, this book would join the ranks of others who would have killed me previously. I loved the characters, I loved the feels, I loved everything that happened in this book. I love how there wasn't a cliffhanger to make me need the next book more than I already do (because I do need it a lot), but there were plenty of unanswered questions and unresolved issues to set up the next book quite nicely. I'm hoping it comes out super early in 2017 as I can't wait! I just want more of Seraph and these boys! Ahh so good! Definitely one of my favorite series of all time after this book.

~

Book 4
Title: A Portrait of Pain
Author: Jane Washington
Series: "Seraph Black" #4
Genre: RH Romance/Paranormal
Publication Date: March 31, 2017
Date Started: March 31, 2017
Date Finished: April 2, 2017
Rating: 5/5 stars

Staying up all night to finish this book was definitely one of the best decisions of my life, even if I was seriously sleep deprived the next day. I can't believe this series is already over...I've been obsessing over it since I found it and of course I found it right when it was ending. This final installment was amazing. Everything I wanted to happen ended up happening and it even threw in a few extra things I didn't know I needed. I devoured this book. I obsess over these characters and this book had everything I ever needed. It had the culmination of three previous books of build up and tension, and it all climaxed beautifully. I would love a sequel or a spin off, but I do know it is rare that I get an ending like that. Simply put, I loved it. This book definitely was what I needed. I can't even explain how much I loved it. I can't even express my feelings for this amazing conclusion and bittersweet goodbye.

~

Frankly, this series will always be one of my favorites. There will definitely be times that I go back and reread the entire series just because I miss it. These characters: Seraph, Silas (my fav!), Miro, Cabe, and Noah, will stick with me for years to come. I can't wait to see what else the author puts out but I will always have a special place in my heart for this series.

March 2017 Book Haul

How many books did I acquire this month? If you were to ask my mom, the answer would be too many. However...I have yet to feel an ounce of guilt for buying/receiving this many books. How many books did I get this month? I got -- physical books, 8 eBooks, 2 audiobooks, and 3 bookish merch items. There were a couple BookOutlet orders, a few Amazon purchases, and I won a giveaway (yay!). Also, if you want to purchase these books or know more about them, I will link the Amazon and Goodreads pages for all of them (I will most likely regret saying that when I have to look up all the links...). Let's just jump into this.


~~~

So we'll start with the physical books I picked up this month. I bought most of these (I think there was only one I didn't buy for myself) but I am proud to say that I didn't spend over $80 for all these books. Because who's a bargain hunting machine? I am!

~

So, first I placed a BookOutlet order. The first book I picked up was Teen Frankenstein by Chandler Baker.
I've been somewhat interested in this book for a little while now (plus the cover is so pretty and kinda spooky). I haven't read the original Frankenstein before, but I do want to read this retelling. I think it has potential to be amazing. It's about a teenage girl who accidentally hits someone with her and kills him, but being the scientifical genius that she is, she brings him back to life.
Goodreads
Amazon

~

Next I picked up The Novice and The Inquisition by Taran Matharu. 
Three reasons why I picked these up this month: 1) BookOutlet had them for super duper cheap in hardcover (yes!). 2) These are my best friend's favorite books. 3) They sound interesting. Honestly, I don't know much about this book series except that it's high fantasy, the main character is a guy, and there's supposedly an academy/school setting. But, I'm excited nonetheless and I kinda want to go in blind so that I don't have expectations that aren't met.
Book 1: Goodreads
         Amazon
Book 2: Goodreads
         Amazon

~

The last book in that BookOutlet order was Beastly Bones by William Ritter.
This one actually came signed! I was so excited because there was no indication when I bought it that this book was going to be signed. I own the first book but haven't read it yet (wow, what a surprise there). I wanted to buy this one when I bought the first one but I didn't have the funds at the time. Luckily, BookOutlet still had it available when I placed this order. I know that this series is pitched as Sherlock meets Doctor Who meets Supernatural, which sounds flipping fantastic! I'm excited to dive into it eventually, but there are so many good books I want to read!
Goodreads
Amazon 

~

Then I picked up The Book Jumper by Mechthild Gläser from Amazon. 
I had a $5 Amazon credit from when I donated blood to the Red Cross and I didn't want to put it towards a preorder (because I wanted a mostly free book now). So I picked up this beautiful book. There were a few things that drew me to it: 1) The gorgeous cover! 2) Scotland. 3) A girl who can go into books and interact with the characters (life goals!). It's all about a girl who finds out she can jump into books and interact with characters. She meets a fellow book jumper and the two have to embark on a quest through different novels in order to find someone who is stealing from books. It sounds so unique and amazing.
Goodreads
Amazon

~

Next I grabbed A Shadow Bright and Burning by Jessica Cluess.
I got a coupon from BookOutlet in my last order, so obviously I ordered a few more books, and this was the first one I grabbed. I have an ARC of this novel, but as it is going to be a series and since I loved this book, I decided I needed a finished copy as well. Honestly, it's such a visually appealing book and I couldn't not have a hardcover edition.
Goodreads
Amazon

~

I also picked up A Thousand Pieces of You by Claudia Gray.
I've been interested in this book for a few months now. What originally drew me in was the cover (because, come on, it's freaking gorgeous!). Then it just sounded super interesting. I always check BookOutlet for books in my Amazon cart before I check out just to make sure I get a good deal, and it was dumb luck that I saw BookOutlet had it when I was planning my next order.
Goodreads
Amazon

~

Then I got Walk on Earth a Stranger by Rae Carson.
This originally drew me in with its beautiful cover and then I read the synopsis. At first, I wasn't super interested in it because I'm not hugely interested in the time period this is set in, but as time has gone on, this book has appealed to me more and more. Finally, I decided to try it because it was on BookOutlet for $3. Plus, the other books in the series have gorgeous covers too.
Goodreads
Amazon

~

Next I grabbed Assassin's Heart by Sarah Ahiers.
This one has been on my radar since before its release date. However, I've heard mixed things and I never picked it over other books in my Amazon cart. Then it came on BookOutlet and I was super excited because I could get it for cheap and then form my own opinion on the book. I've been told it's a mixture of Romeo + Juliet and The Godfather, which has me intrigued.
Goodreads
Amazon

~

The last book I picked up in that BookOutlet order was Once Again by Liz Braswell and Cameron Dokey.
I didn't even know anything about this book until I saw the cover (which is stunning, by the way). After I read the synopsis, I put it in my cart so fast. It's actually a bindup of two different fairy tale retellings (hence why I have a fairy necklace in a jar). I'm so freaking excited to read these retellings of Snow White and Sleeping Beauty. I think it has the potential to be amazing and I'm excited to see how it goes.
Goodreads
Amazon

~

Then I bought The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon.
I've seen so much hype on bookstagram surrounding this book and I recently read the synopsis. It sounds so good, and it's going to be 7 books! I decided to try it and was a bargain hunting machine and got the hardcover new for $3! Whoop whoop! I also bought the audiobook (more down below). I am just really excited about this.
Goodreads
Amazon

~

Next, I received Charcoal Tears by Jane Washington.
I actually won a giveaway from this author, with the main part of the prize a signed copy of this book. To tell you I freaked out when I found out I won is an understatement. Just picture it: a book lover who woke up early looks at her phone, checks her email, and sees she's been mentioned in a comment on Facebook. She goes to Facebook and clicks the notification and it pops up that she won one of the best giveaways ever! Screaming and jumping up and down in my bed at 5:30 am. It was fantastic. The book also came with a bunch of bookish swag for this series and another series by this author, as well as some Washington Club (the Facebook group this giveaway was hosted in) swag, which you can see up in the picture above. I'm kind of in love...
Goodreads
Amazon

~~~

I decided that this month I also wanted to do a quick eBook haul as well. A lot of books I read are eBooks and I buy quite a few eBooks every month. This month I paid for 8 of them. I'm only going to talk about the books I paid for (as opposed to the books I got for free due to sales or promotions). Some I am super excited about, others I have zero idea what they're about. Let's just get into it.

~

First I grabbed The Iron King by Julie Kagwa.
I've been interested in this book and this series for about a year now. The covers drew me in and then the synopsis. When BookBub told me that it was only $2 for the eBook, I one-clicked that book so fast. I still have yet to read it, but I'm excited for when I do.
Goodreads
Amazon

~

Then I bought the Creepy Hollow series set, which included books 1-6.
If we're being honest, I have no idea what these books are about. At the time I bought them, they sounded interesting but I have completely forgotten what they're about.
Goodreads
Amazon

~

Then I picked up The Jaguar King by Anna McIlwraith.
I read a sample of this book and decided I wanted to read it. However, I haven't finished it. I'm about 30% in and there were more pressing books that I wanted to read. So, I put it aside for now. Hopefully in a little while I'll have the urge to pick it back up, but for now, I'm content reading new releases that I've been looking forward to.
Goodreads
Amazon

~

I also picked up A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness.
I've been interested in this book for a couple months now. I was originally planning on buying the hardcover used from Amazon Marketplace, but then the eBook went on sale and I decided to try it there before buying the physical book.
Goodreads
Amazon

~

Then I bought Groupie by C.M. Stunich.
This is a new RH and I've already read it. I really enjoyed it (more thoughts in my wrap-up).
Goodreads
Amazon

~

Next I grabbed Consorts by Ava Ryant.
I woke up on Sunday and checked Facebook and saw that this had released! I was so excited and I one-clicked so fast. I haven't read it yet, but I'm excited to see how the story continues. And especially excited for more smut.
Goodreads
Amazon

~

Then I got Just Married by Nikki Bolvair.
I woke up on Sunday to find an email from Amazon telling me that my preorder had been delivered. I freaked out and immediately started reading it. At the time I'm currently writing this, I'm about 20% in and LOVING it.
Goodreads
Amazon

~

Lastly, I picked up A Portrait of Pain by Jane Washington.
This released on the very last day of March and I am so freaking excited about it. I've been waiting for this book since November, and I can't wait to finally get to read more about Seraph and her guys. Hopefully we finally get some kissing or smut action because yes!
Goodreads
Amazon

~~~

I also decided to talk about the audiobooks I bought this month. I am an audible subscription holder and I do love it. I like to listen to audiobooks while I'm driving or just laying in bed. I also have a few friends logged into my account so it's even more worth it when they also get to listen to audiobooks. That being said, I did get two audiobooks this month. I used my credit on one and bought the other. I'm super excited about both of them!

~

The first audiobook I got was, of course, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them by J.K. Rowling and Newt Scamander, narrated by Eddie Redmayne.
When I found out that there was going to be an audiobook, I was excited. And then I found out Eddie Redmayne was narrating and I had to have it. I'm currently about halfway through and LOVING it. I love Eddie's voice and not only are we getting information on different magical creatures, we're also getting background on the wizarding world and beasts, which I find fascinating.
Goodreads
Amazon

~

Next I used my credit to pick up The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon.
I'm so excited to read this book and while I was waiting for it to arrive, I was looking to see what I should spend my credit on. This book popped up and I listened to the sample and decided I wanted it. So...I got it. I haven't started listening to it because I want to start reading from the actual book and then continue with audio just for that first foray into this new world.
Amazon

~~~

And finally, I just want to throw in a couple bookish merch items that I got this month. There will be links to the shops I mention :)

~

First, I bought a bookmark from HappyHelloCo.
I picked up this adorable little Aelin drinking coffee bookmark. I love everything ToG and this was just a cute little item to add to my ever-growing collection.

~

Then my school library actually gave me a bookmark from HappyHelloCo.
They let me pick between all the Lunar Chronicles characters and I decided on Captain Thorne (because yes!). He's so adorable and I love having more of these bookmarks on my shelves.

~

Then I lastly picked up a handmade book sleeve from MelvisMakes.
I've been wanting one of these for a couple months now and I finally caved and bought one. I had found a pattern I really liked from a company that had multiple to offer as well as options that were cheaper than other places and had quick shipping. I'm obsessed with it! It's large enough to comfortably fit the hardcover of The Bone Season. AND it glows in the dark! It's so freaking cool! I definitely used it to transport books when I was traveling to and from my grandma's this past weekend.

~~~

So there you have it. That's my book haul for the month of March. I'm super excited about all of these books and I can't wait until I have read them all and can talk more about them!
Thanks for reading (if you actually got to the end of this super long post).

March 2017 Wrap-Up

In the end, I only read 6 books this month. However, as I head into April, I'm currently reading 3 and listening to the audiobook of 1. So...I'm hopeful that next month's count will be higher.

1.
Title: Trickery
Authors: Jaymin Eve & Jane Washington
Rating: 5/5 stars
Review: http://laurensboookshelf.blogspot.com/2017/03/lets-talk-trickery.html
Goodreads Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1930528823
I loved this book so much. More thoughts in my reviews :)

2.
Title: Candy Ever After
Author: Jo Raven
Rating: 3.5/5 stars
I decided to read this after reading the first one last month (easy decision considering each was only a dollar), and I enjoyed it. I didn't love it, but it was a quick easy read that I enjoyed and was able to get my mind off reality for an hour or so. Again, there wasn't really much substance to this book (like the first one). I have a feeling I would have really really enjoyed this duology if there had been more substance, plot building, and character developments. Also, I am again a little annoyed that this book ended at 30% (like the first one) of the kindle copy (the rest was book 1 and another story from the author). But, I'm overlooking it as I enjoyed these books and the smut that accompanied them :)

3. 
Title: Caraval
Author: Stephanie Garber
Rating: 5/5 stars
OMG I loved this book so much. I am so freaking excited that I read this book and I can't wait for the next book! More thoughts in my reviews :)

4. 
Title: Trickery (reread)
Authors: Jaymin Eve & Jane Washington
Rating: 5/5 stars
Review: See above
Goodreads Review: See above
I loved this book so much that I randomly picked it up again and finished it in one night. I think I liked it even better the second time around. Willa is 100% me. 

5.
Title: Groupie
Author: C.M. Stunich
Rating: 3.5/5 stars
I enjoyed this book quite a bit. There was a lot of smut, which I rather enjoyed, and a lot of talk about topics such as troubled pasts, death, and coping methods. A lot of books I read don't focus as heavily on healing and coping methods as this book did, and I enjoyed seeing how the characters coped. It still breaks my heart at some of their coping methods, but I liked seeing them. I am definitely excited for book two coming out in May. So excite, much excite.

6. 
Title: Just Married
Author: Nikki Bolvair
Rating: 5/5 stars
I loved this last installment to this series. I wish there was more, but I feel like this was the perfect ending. I know for a fact that between the plot and the incredible guys and the sass and the smut that I will be rereading this series very soon!

~

And there you have it!
