Happy weekend, everyone! I got my second vaccine yesterday, and despite a headache this morning, I’m feeling pretty good! That means that I get this weekend off, though, which doesn’t happen too often. Also, it looks like I didn’t do much reading for the Week of 3/20, but I read a very, very long book. Took me all week. However, I’ve got a bunch of graphic novels to read for the coming week, and I’m actually really excited bout it!
For the Week of 3/20, I only finished 4 books. But one of them was A Court of Silver Flames, which is almost 800 pages long. So all in all, a good reading week for me!
Bite Size Reviews: Week of 3/20
Haikyu!! Vol. 6 by Haruichi Furudate (3/20)
We’re continuing the saga of the Karasuno volleyball team, and I just really love reading about them! Each book brings something different about the characters and they work together so well. Plus, I’ve just started playing volleyball this year and it’s fun to see their plays! It brings something new when I’m on the court for volleyball and it’s just great all around (4 stars).
What Beauty There Is by Cory Anderson (3/23)
I already reviewed this on my blog this week, so just a few thoughts here! This book was fast-paced and emotional and dark, and an excellent debut. Everything in this book works together so effortlessly to create a strong story, from the characters to the plot to the setting. A great exploration of grief and addiction and the ways that this can effect families (4.5 stars).
Midnight Sun by Stephenie Meyer (3/26)
This is a re-telling of Twilight from Edward’s point of view. It got a lot of hype when it came out last summer, and I kind of get it. I enjoyed reading Edward’s point of view more than Bella’s, even though he is a bit dramatic. But, we got some more background from the vampires point of view, and it’s fascinating. Plus, seeing Bella through Edward’s eyes makes her a bit more likable. Honestly, I would read the rest of the series of Edward’s point of view (3 stars).
A Court of Silver Flames by Sarah J. Maas (3/26)
After the events in A Court of Wings and Ruin, Nesta is struggling to deal with her trauma. So, her family intervenes: she’s forced to train with Cassian. But trouble is once again brewing, and Nesta might be the only one who can stop it. This is definitely a really steamy book, so you’ve been warned! But also very, very character driven. There were some points that didn’t really sit right with me, but Nesta does create strong connections with some of the women in the library. And her relationship evolution with Cassian works so well in this book.
