Hey, ladies!
The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer. It’s a chance to share news. A post to recap the past week, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up on our blog for the week ahead. It's Monday, What Are You Reading is a fun weekly meme hosted by Kathryn at The Book Date where we share what we've read and reviewed over the past week and what we plan to read next.
I've said this every week, but it is so freaking hot. It reminds me of opening the door on a hot oven every time I step outside; you're just blasted by this thick wave of heat. On top of that, it's humid and so oppressive, not to mention the bugs... My legs are so covered in welts, scabs and blistered bites it's becoming a serious challenge to shave. :p
I had my first (or maybe second, can't remember for certain) did not finish of the year this week. I tried, I really did. Made it 53%+ of the way in, and just couldn't keep trudging on. The writing was awful, the plot weak and choppy, and the characters...well, I wasn't rooting for them against the bad guys. At all. The overall idea was intriguing, but the book fell flat. Then we hit a love triangle (which, according to the next two books in the series, winds up being a love square), and it was all over.
I did wind up adding it to my "read" shelf on Goodreads, after much internal struggling, haha. I wasted near 200 pages, so I deserve it. ;)

I can't believe we're in June already!
Not the best step week since I wasn't feeling too well for a few days, but overall it was okay. I'm mostly walking at night now to try and fend off the heat.

5 stars!
I absolutely adored this book, and I'm still thinking about it days after finishing. It definitely earned a spot on my "best of 2016" list. |
 |
4 stars!
Yes! Took me a month to finish, but I did it. A little longer than it should have been (and I really dislike Lissa), but overall a satisfying end to a fun series. |
 |
3 stars...?
I didn't really care for this one. I think that's just me though, because nearly all the Goodreads reviews give it 4-5 stars.

DNF, but since I went past the halfway mark, I'm jotting it down here. |
