Burial Rites
By Hannah Kent
Pages: 314
Challenges: 3, 4
TBR: Yes


Not exactly a happy summer book. This follows the events of the last execution in Iceland. The character who is accused of murder is compelling and it was very VERY good.

I read this during a thunderstorm. Perfect mood weather.

A Court of Thorns and Roses
By Sarah J. Maas
Pages: 416
Challenges: 1

TBR: Not for this year, but I wanted to read it.

Yeah, remember when I talked about not following a plan. This book. I had nightmares this book would be awful. It wouldn't let me sleep. I had to read it. Thankfully, it was fantastic. Maas's writing is superb.

Review to come.

And Then There Were None
By Agatha Christie
Pages: 300

Challenges: 4, 5
TBR: Bookclub 

From a library haul (totally counts, right?). My first Agatha Christie book! What a fantastic, yet creepy, one to start with. Gripping. I hit a point where I had to finish and find out who dunnit. The creepy part of this book is that people are being murdered as the book is read. *shudders* I stayed up until 2am reading this and then couldn't fall asleep. Whoops.

5/5 STARS
