31 day reading challenge.

Hi booklovers

A couple of months ago I saw a video on Little Book Owl's channel where she talked about the ’30 day reading challenge’ and I thought it was a great idea. 

August is the second month of my summer break so I should be able to read every day of the month. This might not be anything special, but I want to keep track of how much I read and which format I read the most of: physical books, e-books, audiobooks, graphic novels. I’ll try to write down how many pages I read / minutes I listen to an audiobook daily in my bullet journal and update you weekly. (I'm actually a bit late in posting this since I'm already a week into the challenge :-s I'll be posting an update for week 1 soon.)

Have you tried this challenge? Any tips on how to make sure I read daily? Let me know in the comments.

Bye for now

August 2016 Wrap-up.

Hi booklovers

School has started again, so I'm hoping to keep up my blogging regularly, fingers crossed.

Another month gone by, another wrap-up.

I read six books in August and a few of those books were huge, so yay for me :-)

A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas

I enjoyed this second book way more than ACOTAR. There were some points in the story that made me roll my eyes, but I still really liked it. Review to come.

Vampire Academy: the graphic novel

by Richelle Mead

After finishing ACOMAF I was suffering from a mild book hangover, so that's why I decided to pick this up. It was a great way to revisit the VA world. But having read the 'original' book, I missed some of the details. I did, however, enjoy the drawings very much (hmmm, Dimitri).

The Dragon Reborn by Robert Jordan

I finished listening to this and I'm still really enjoying the series and I will definitely continue with it in the future.

Illuminae by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff

This was the first time I've read anything by either authors and I have to say that once I got used to the format, I totally loved it. I even pre-ordered the special Gemina box from theyachronicles.com.au and I can't to get it in the mail :-) I'm going to write a full review.

Actually 4.75 stars

An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir

I really enjoyed this book, although it has some flaws, but it was still a pretty good debut novel. Again, review to come. (I'm so behind on reviewing books.)

Actually 3.75 stars

Long Way Down

by Krista & Becca Ritchie

This book was sooooo good. Krista & Becca Ritchie never cease to amaze me with their writing. I have one book left in this series, but I'm scared to pick it up, because I think I'm going to suffer from a major book hangover and I don't want the story to end just yet.

Which books did you read in August? Have you read any of the books I've read? Let me know in the comments.

Bye for now
