#reading slump
I don’t know if I’m burnt out on reading or if I’m just really not into the few books in trying to get through.
The Bone Witch has a beautiful cover, great things said about it and one of the coolest screen themes I’ve seen on Libby, but I feel like it’s much more juvenile than it’s advertised. Like, all the flashbacks I’ve gotten to do far (I’m 50%+ through it) she’s 13. And the wizened future her that’s in the “present” is 17. I want to like it. I really do but it’s so boring and young.
And I DNF'ed The Only Good Indians, Milk Fed, and never even opened The Troop or The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo despite having them checked out of the library for 6 weeks.
I got a stack of comics to help with burn out, but haven’t touched them since bringing them home.
What am I going to do?
booktok either hypes the most mediocre ass books or introduces me to my new obsessions it’s like book russian roulette lmfao
March Wrap Up!
Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard 4/5 stars
Started this book in February but finished it in the first week of March. I have a book review up if you want to check it out! Currently reading Cruel Crown the novella bind up. I’m into the characters, but I still found this novel not very original, but it was well written.
Ruby Red by Kerstin Gier 4/5 stars
A great start to a trilogy! It’s about time travel. Loved it! It’s just pretty young, because the main character is 16 and being an adult some of the references were lost on me.
Saga Volume 4 by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples 5/5 stars
It’s Saga, enough said.
I’m at 8 books read this year!
Current reads are:
Cruel Crown by Victoria Aveyard
DEATHNOTE volume 2
A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness

JANUARY WRAP UP!!!!
So this month started off the year pretty poorly!
I only read 2 graphic novels this month!
I’m on page 295 of “Heir of Fire” by Sarah J Maas, but it seems to have put me in a reading slump, so I need to move on and maybe come back to it later!
*Saga Volume 2 by Brian K Vaughan & Fiona Staples*
I gave this book 5/5 stars and reviewed it here on my blog.
DEATHNOTE Volume 1 by Tsugumi Ohba & Takeshi Obata
I gave this book a 4/5 stars and did not review because I have already watched the anime and I think that taints any review I could do of it. However I did really enjoy re-entering the story.
So far in my 2016 reading goals I have succeeded in adding more graphic novels and am 28 books away from my goal of 30 books this year!
See you soon with my February TBR

the sexual tension between me and unread books on my bookshelf
you know when you really want to read a new book but you also want it to be JUST LIKE this other book you finished but not exactly the same but similar but still different but with the same vibes but completely new? yeah.
teenage boys in young adult novels: greed bows to me. it is my servant and my lever. there was no part of him that was not broken, that had not healed wrong, and there was no part of him that was not stronger for having been broken. it’s shame that eats men whole.
teenage boys in real life: i bet you can’t eat that entire pizza by yourself-
teenage boys in real life: oh yEAH? WATCH ME-
we’ve got friends to lovers and friends with benefits and enemies to lovers, so when are we gonna get enemies with benefits?
People who say “don’t you already have that book” need to understand that different book editions equals a new book it has a different feeling and smell and texture yes it’s the same story but IT’S A DIFFERENT BOOK
Why can’t we just experience the things we absloutly love and adore all over again. I get that feeling every time i’m rereading my favorite book or rewatching my favorite movie like i want to experiance these intense feelings for the first time again because no matter how many time you return tou your favorite book or movie it will never be like the first time.
