March 2017 Highlights

March was a super busy month for me personally. But a very slow reading month. I spent a lot of my free time doing some Spring Cleaning around my entire house. 

February 2017 Highlights

February started off as a strong and quick reading month for me. But by the middle of the month I slowed down a lot. Then I think I hit a bit of a reading slump. I did a lot of fun non-reading activities during February though! 

January 2017 Monthly Highlights

January was a pretty good reading month for me. I finally read a series that I have been meaning to read for years. (Plus the new novella and book that came out last year, so in the end I am kind of glad I ended up waiting.)

Seventeen-year-old Ruby is a fireblood who must hide her powers of heat and flame from the cruel frostblood ruling class that wants to destroy all that are left of her kind. So when her mother is killed for protecting her and rebel frostbloods demand her help to kill their rampaging king, she agrees. But Ruby's powers are unpredictable, and she's not sure she's willing to let the rebels and an infuriating (yet irresistible) young man called Arcus use her as their weapon.
All she wants is revenge, but before they can take action, Ruby is captured and forced to take part in the king's tournaments that pit fireblood prisoners against frostblood champions. Now she has only one chance to destroy the maniacal ruler who has taken everything from her and from the icy young man she has come to love.
Fast-paced and compelling, Frostblood is the first in a page-turning new young adult three-book series about a world where flame and ice are mortal enemies—but together create a power that could change everything.

My 2017 Reading Challenges Sign-Up Post

I can't believe it is already 2017! Last year I didn't fully participate in the reading challenges as much as I wanted to. (In fact, I didn't blog as much as I wanted to either.) So I have decided to only participate in a couple official 2017 reading challenges and instead focus more on reading books that I already have on my shelves. In fact, I have decided to make a list of 17 Books I Will Finally Read in 2017!
