TTT. Can't Wait Books of 2019

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl.

I know that I'm diverging from today's topic, but I decided to talk about all the 2019 releases I'm excited about. Well, not all of them because then this would be a never-ending-post. So, to keep it short, I decided only to mention books whose covers have already been announced (dear Juliet Marillier, I need to see the cover of The Harp of Kings) and books that aren't sequels to any on-going series (but companions novels are acceptable). Now, can we just have a long conversation about how 2019 will be the year of beautiful book covers?

Happy New Year! 🎉 Wishing to every single one of by fellow Book Dragons one more year loaded with sweet recollections and cheerful times. Thank you so much to everyone who has read my posts over the past year and supported me through some hard moments Also, good luck decreasing the never-ending TBR pile that haunts every year that goes by. 😜 The new year has just began, but I have all these books I want to read and I'm already fearing that three hundred and seventy five days won't be enough to do it. *taking a deep breath* I solemnly swear I'll not freak out about it. Much.

TTT. My Favourite Books of 2018

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! The arrival of a new year means crazy resolutions, setting your Goodreads goal and looking back at 2018 and create a thousand bookish lists rambling about the best, the good and the worst. Today, I'll be sharing with you my favourite books of 2018. I tried really hard to keep this list at ten (okay, perhaps I didn't try that hard because I really want to share with you all the books that made me cry, laugh, fall in love and be angry at the world). So, to keep this list short, I'm keeping away from mentioning any re-read such as This Savage Song and The Hunger Games trilogy (although, this time around, I loved the trilogy a lot more than I did before - especially Mockingjay).

Looking Back at 2018 & My 2019 Bookish Resolutions

I'm not sure why I keep doing this to myself since I'm awful at keeping up with my resolutions, but it seems an ending of the year tradition to talk about what I accomplished throughout the last twelve months and then write some goals for the coming year. While I was writing this end of the year recap, I was surprised with what I accomplished reading and blogging-wise but that's only because I completely forgot about my the goals I set for myself. 😋 So, let's look back at 2018 and share some goals for the new year, shall we?

ARC Review // Fire and Heist

Title: Fire and Heist

Author: Sarah Beth Durst

Publisher: Crown Books for Young Readers

Published: December 4th 2018
Pages: 304 pages

"In Sky Hawkins's family, leading your first heist is a major milestone--even more so than learning to talk, walk, or do long division. It's a chance to gain power and acceptance within your family, and within society. But stealing your first treasure can be complicated, especially when you're a wyvern--a human capable of turning into a dragon.

Embarking on a life of crime is never easy, and Sky discovers secrets about her mother, who recently went missing, the real reason her boyfriend broke up with her, and a valuable jewel that could restore her family's wealth and rank in their community.

With a handpicked crew by her side, Sky knows she has everything she needs to complete her first heist, and get her boyfriend and mother back in the process. But then she uncovers a dark truth about were-dragon society--a truth more valuable and dangerous than gold or jewels could ever be."

Reading & Blogging Challenges. Planning an Epic Reading Year

The end of the year is fast approaching (can you believe in a week we will be all living in a new year?!) which means it's time to start organizing a new reading year. I've decided to join a few reading challenges to motivate me not only to read more, but also to discover new genres. Hopefully, these challenges will be helpful in decreasing my ever growing book pile. Furthermore, I will also take part in two blogging challenges to write more discussion posts (something that has been lacking around here).

Sunday Post. All I Want For Christmas Are Books

Sunday Post is a meme hosted by Caffeinated Book Reviews.

Hello Book Dragons. How was your week? Mine? Well, my thesis is still giving me headaches, but nothing that a good book can't fix. However, there was some progress - even if was only a five hundred words progress. What have you been reading? Any recommendations that I should add to my Christmas wishlist? I confess my last readings have been a bit disappointing, but I'm still hoping to find a new five stars reading before the year ends.
