Bout of Books Day Two

Day 2 of Bout of Books 24 is in the books! If you want to know what I was planning to read, check out my tbr here. My day 1 update can be found here.

The challenge for Day 2 was Character Dinner Party. I am really bad at things like this, so first of all, I would like to apologize in advance. I just am not good at narrowing things done. But I finally decided that I would invite Annabeth from PJO, Poppy from Princesses of Westfalin, Rose from Vampire Academy, Sabrina from Sisters Grimm, and Amani from Rebel of the Sands. Literally, these are just awesome female characters found in books I have read in 2019 and on my favorite goodreads shelf. All of these characters are witty and I think a dinner party with them would be a lot of fun and get into a lot of trouble.

The Instagram photo challenge for yesterday was recent 5 star read. I don't have an Instagram, but here is my picture for this challenge. I loved Meet the Sky and you can check out my review for it here.

Today I managed to listen to 1 hour 5 minutes of The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan. I wanted to get another hour listened to today, so I'm definitely okay with that. I actually have a drive that's over 5 hours tomorrow, so I'll probably finish this audiobook tomorrow, and potentially get started on something else. I am thinking starting the Princess Diaries series, which has awesome audiobooks if you've never listened to them before

I read 222 pages of Princess of the Midnight Ball to finish the book. I honestly love this trilogy so much, especially Galen and a few of the princesses (still salty that there is not a book with Pansy as a main character). I managed to read 144 pages of the sequel, Princess of Glass, which focuses on Poppy, who is probably my favorite princess out of the twelve of them. Fairytale retellings are one of my favorite things to read.

My goals for today are to finish Princess of Glass. In an ideal world, I would also finish Princess of the Silver Woods, but I doubt that it's going to happen, since it's a library book and I can't take library books back to school with me. I hope to finish my audiobook as well.

And that was my ~~surprisingly okay~~ Day 2! How did your day end up going? What characters would you invite to your Character Dinner Party?

Thanks for reading!

August Six Degrees

I recently discovered the Six Degrees of Separation meme for book blogs, and it looks like a lot of fun, so I decided to start this month, and see how it goes! This month's prompt is a wild card. Since I didn't do this last month, I'm starting with the book that I'm currently in the middle of- The Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan. First Link: The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan These books are both by the same author, but also they are both the books that got me into that specific type of mythology in the first place, both Greek and Egyptian. I've learned so much after becoming interested based on these books in the first place. Second Link: Pandora Gets Jealous by Carolyn Hennesy Both of these books are takes on Greek mythology. Percy Jackson is modern day, but Pandora is set back then. Still, the main characters are both awesome and their interactions with the Greek gods and other Greek mythical beings are just amazing. Third Link: The Frog Princess ...

Unique Settings

Last week, I ran out of time to do my Top Ten Tuesday post, but I still loved the prompt of settings that I'd like to see more of. Since this week was a freebie, I decided to go ahead and do this prompt. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. The books I have read from these books have been absolutely amazing in the majority of circumstances, but there needs to be so much more, especially in traditional publishing for a wide range of audiences, though some of these are best suited to YA or NA. So, let's get started! 4H- I spent twelve years as a member of local 4H, and I have only read one book that ever had showing livestock at a county fair as a plotline. It was amazing, but I haven't seen this aspect of my life in any other book. I have a few ideas based on my experiences...

Anticipated Releases

Welcome back to another week of Top Ten Tuesday! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl with prompts every week! This one was surprisingly hard for me, maybe because I'm not really in the middle of any great series right now and all of the authors I read a lot aren't releasing this fall. I did include multiple books that I already got from Netgalley but they have not yet come out and I am behind but I still want to read them because I'm excited about their potential and hope that they are as amazing as I wish. So let's get started! Of Ice and Shadows by Audrey Coulthurst- Mare and Denna are an amazing sapp hic couple. I loved Of Ice and Shadows, and I absolutely cannot wait to read the sequel, but I have to. I am really excited for this book. Girls of Storm and Shadow by Natasha Ngan- I got my sister the first book for Christmas and still haven't read it, but this is another amazing sapphic series that I need to read. My sister loved...
