So I've been eyeing these books for a while since I know a lot of people seem to like them. They are currently both $1.99 for the kindle books on Amazon so I figured it would be a great time to pick them up! I'm really excited to finally start this series! :)

This week was a good reading week. I finished Strange The Dreamer early last weekend which I updated my last StS to show. It was so good guys. A 5 Star read for me. I then started Children of Blood and Bone to go along with that Read-Along and totally failed. I read the entire book in 3 hours. Guys!!!! It was AMAZING!!!! Even James was shocked at how fast I was reading it. I just couldn't put it down. Ahhhh. And I also read The Assassin's Blade this week. Definitely a good background into how Celaena gets into the situation she's in at the start of Throne of Glass. I've now started Renegades by Marissa Meyer. So far it's ok. It's a little different with the Superheroes/villians thing, but not bad so far. I'm also trying to get into Furyborn by Claire LeGrand again. I tried before release but wasn't into it. So I'm seeing if I'm in a better mood for it now.
This was a good week. Wednesday was James birthday! He got some gift cards, and I turned in a bunch of books to the used bookstore and let him use all the credit as my gift. Cuz books duh. And he found some awesome stuff to buy with it. He found some puzzles, a few books and a Star Trek Klingon technical manual. Lots of good finds.
We also got Ana to sleep in her own room finally! She's had her bed in our room for a while now and she showed interest in having her bed in her own room finally and so far its a success! She seems to really like sleeping in her own room now! Score!
We also have been getting a lot of rain this week. It's been so nice! Sure it's humid, but it's not 110 for once. Lol. I can handle 90 and humid. LOL. Also, let it be known those idiots that say Arizona is just a "dry heat" are seriously mistaken. Come visit during monsoon season and we are just as humid as any other state. Lol.
The only downside to this week was that I had to go to Verizon and have a replacement phone ordered. My phone started giving me this error message out of the blue that wouldn't allow me to get into my contacts, make or receive calls or even reply to texts. Literally the only thing I could talk on was Facebook Messenger. Luckily the guy at Verizon was able to get me a replacement sent to me by Wednesday since even he was stumped as to how to fix it since none of the things Google suggested fixed it.

I'm a bit of a superfan of And I Darken and Now I Rise. I loved them both so much, especially the first one. I hope you'll enjoy them. :D
ReplyDeleteYeah?? :D I'm so excited that I finally have them to read! I've been eyeing them like since the beginning of the year but have just been so distracted with getting other books. Lol. I think they sound really good though so I'm really hoping I'll like them as well! :)
DeleteChildren of Blood and Bone is at the top of my tbr pile now that it has been selected for Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show Summer read. Glad to hear how much you liked it. Enjoy your latest goodies.
ReplyDeleteYes!!! It was SOOOOOO GOOD!!! :D Thanks!! :)
DeleteI love the covers of the Kristin White series 😍😍
ReplyDeleteI meant Kiersten white lol
DeleteMe 2! I think they look really great! :)
DeleteI've been meaning to start Renegades by Marissa Meyer, I love things with superheroes and villains.
ReplyDeleteSuzanne
So far its pretty good. I wasn't sure at first how I'd like it since I'm not super big on superheroes/villains, but its grown on me the further I get in it.
DeleteI started reading And I Darken, and always intend to get back to it. Hopefully you will enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteThat's how I am with a number of books. One day right??? LOL. I hope so!
DeleteLove the covers on your new books! I hope they are some amazing reads for you. Have a wonderful week ahead.
ReplyDeleteThey do look pretty amazing! I think Now I Rise is my favorite cover. I hope so too! Have a wonderful week as well!! :)
DeleteGreat haul! Are you reading with the readalong for the Thrones of glass series?
ReplyDeleteI desperately need to get my son out of my bed, congratulations for getting your lil one into her own bed. Well done!
Angelica @ Paperback Princess
Thanks! The one hosted by World of Sarah J. Maas? Yes! I am! Lol. I figure it would be a great way to get caught up with the series before Kingdom of Ash comes out!
DeleteIt took time for us. For a while she slept in our bed, then she moved to her bed, but only if it was still on our room, and now finally in her room. 3 1/2 years but she's finally in her room! Thanks! :)
Yay! Glad you had a great reading week! I really need to read Strange the Dreamer and Children of Blood and Bone soon!
ReplyDeleteHere’s my Sunday Post!
Ronyell @ Rabbit Ears Book Blog and join in this week’s Book Photo Sundays and Cover Spotlight!
Thanks! Oh you definitely do! Strange and Children were both awesome books! :)
DeleteSounds like you had an amazing week! Happy Birthday to James!
ReplyDeleteI did. Thanks!
DeleteBeautiful covers on your book purchases. I loved Children of Blood & Bone. I am tring to get to Strange the Dreamer (audio) as I have bought it already and it's Steve West!!!!!! I'm also working my way thru the Sarah J Maas books and just bought 2 more with an audible promo.
ReplyDeleteYou like lots of the same books as me. Happy Reading! Anne - Books of My Heart
Thanks! Yay! I'm so glad you liked it as well! I hope you get to Strange soon with the audio! Same with me! I've been working my way through her books as well!
DeleteYes, I do seem to!! :)
Ah man, I'd just about kill for some rain at the moment! It's SO hot. :( Nevermind... Give me a few months and I'll be complaining about the constant rain! lol
ReplyDeleteThose Kiersten White covers are so gorgeous!
LOL. I'm so glad we're getting rain. Monsoon season is like the one part of the year we know we'll get rain. Other than this its hit or miss with rain.
DeleteRight! :)
Sounds like a good series. I want to start it myself. I hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteMary my #SundayRoundup #27!
Yes! I've heard a lot of great things about it. Hope you have a great week as well! :)
DeleteYou had a great reading week. I've heard great things about And I Darken series, I'm going to have to catch up so I can pick up book three soon. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteI did! Same here! I feel like part of the reason they might have put the first 2 books on sale is so that people could buy them and catch up since book 3 just released. Have a great week as well!
DeleteStrange the Dreamer and Children of Blood and Bone are on my TBR list, so I’m glad you like them. Happy birthday to James!
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
Yes! I thoroughly enjoyed them! So good! He says thanks! :)
