Project TBR - Wrap-Up

Well. That crashed and burned.

I most certainly read. I finished a book. But holy macaroni, pitiful amounts.

The Book of Three
By Lloyd Alexander
Status: Completed!!

Challenges achieved: Under 250 pages, cover with green on it



Mini-Review:
Last summer, I read book 2 of this series. Loved it! Not sure I liked this one as much. Of course, it is a book 1 so there is needed world building and character introductions. The Horned-King is terrifying, as are the cauldron-born.
My anger for the movie adaptation carried over to this book. Basically, Disney merged book 1 and 2 (badly). I sincerely hope that when I read the 3rd book, it will be all new story and no relation to the botched movie.
I still think you can read book 2 without reading 1. The Black Cauldron was crafted better.
3/5 STARS

Song of the Wanderer
By Bruce Coville

Status: Almost finished. Disc 6 of 6 (audiobook).

This series is underrated. It's a fantastic story. I have fallen back in love with this world and cannot wait for the next book, Dark Whispers.

Challenges: could've been the underrated novel

Status: Not finished.

I'm spending lots of time on this one as I'm editing. Glad I got started though. Can't wait to finish. The author is a great storyteller.




Never Fade
By Alexandra Bracken
Status: Barely started.

I'm somewhere in chapter one. Tried to get a good start on this one last night, but my brain went NOPE, YOU'RE TIRED! So, that didn't happen. I am looking foward to reading this one this week though.

Project TBR - Day 7

Hello fellow readers!

The final day!!! Sadly, I did not succeed as much as I wanted to. However, I'm surprised at how much I accomplished considering I've been thrown into the deep end at work. Flailing about like a squid out of water.

Project TBR - Day 6

Hello fellow readers!

Free time Saturday? Yes, but doing other things. Meeting with friends. Being social. Buying new books, of course. Drinking too strong coffee and still feeling the effects of it 8 hours later....

Because this is a Beta Read, it is taking me longer. I am trying to read it critically, while still enjoying the story (which I am). Rereading parts and stopping to edit sentences does delay the reading process. But supporting fellow readers is incredible important, so I need to give my critical and honest opinions. It needs to be done right.

Project TBR - Day 5

Hello fellow readers!

Friday wasn't in the cards. Meetings and workshops all day long meant an exhausted me by the end of the day. Worst reading week yet in 2015. I'm glad I went with a short book though. Definitely not reading that 500 page book by the end of the week. But, I'll have completed at least three of the challenges.

Currently, I am a beta reader for a writer. I am counting the novel work as reading, however, with respect I will not disclose any information of the novel. I will say it's about cats and it's fantasy. That's about it.
For a cover, here's a cool picture of a fantasy cat, found via pintrest. It leads to this page, which isn't directly the artist who is Vasylina Holodilina.
