News...

Bad news, likely. It's official: I'm taking the rest of the term off from blogging and that, to put it plainly, sucks. Sucks for you and sucks for me. I expect to be back mid-to-late November and I hope to have a bunch of reviews written in advance so I can start posting them. What it comes down to is that school has kept me too busy to really keep posting decent content. I do recommend that you follow me on Instagram (where I'll be pretty active still) and Twitter (where I'm less active but always reachable). See you all on the other side!

Can't Wait Wednesday: Sightwitch

I'm switching over from Waiting on Wednesday's to Can't Wait Wednesday, a meme hosted by Wishful Endings. The idea is basically the same, but it looks like the official hosts of Breaking the Spine have shut down the meme so it's time to move on. Description and cover image taken from Goodreads.

From the New York Times bestselling author of Windwitch, an illustrated prequel novella set in the Witchlands setting up the forthcoming hotly anticipated Bloodwitch.
Set a year before Truthwitch, Sightwitch follows Ryber Fortiza, the last Sightwitch Sister as she treks deep underground to rescue her missing best friend. While there, she encounters a young Nubrevnan named Kullen Ikray, who has no memory of who he is or how he wound up inside the mountain. As the two journey ever deeper in search of answers, and as they brave one close call after another, a tentative friendship forms between them—one that might one day grow into something more.
Sightwitch is told through Ryber’s journal entries and her sketches, as well as through supplementary materials (such as other journals, pieces of songs, clippings from history books, flashbacks, etc.). Though meant as a companion novella, this story serves as a set up to Bloodwitch as well as an expansion of the world.

Why I'm Waiting

Look another WOC on the cover! I'm so excited by all the new covers coming out with such great representation. On the book itself: I love Ryber. She's definitely one of the most enigmatic characters in the series and I can't wait to learn more about her and also how she met Kullen. This is definitely one of those series where I never expect what will happen next or how the story will unfold but I enjoy it the whole time.

October Wrap Up #1

Wait... is this real? Am I actually posting? And a wrap up? Yep, if you've been along for a while you know what this means: it means an apology.

Where have I been? School has 100% taken over my life. I haven't finished any books in like two weeks (and not for lack of trying!) and the one hour of free time I had recently (besides this) I used to catch up on my sleep. One of the reasons school has been keeping me so busy is because I've been trying to get a head start on this weekend and next weekend and also the weekend after that. In order: this weekend I celebrated (and am celebrating) my birthday and several of my friend's birthdays (go Libras!). And, yep, you heard that right, tomorrow is my 21st birthday! It probably won't be that unlike any other birthday (except that I have my fingers crossed for a new phone... we'll see if the fates align) since I don't really plan on drinking at all. I will admit I have been feeling older lately, probably because I've been spending time with freshman and as awesome as they are there's definitely a difference. Next weekend I'm heading home to work, which'll be great (slight sarcasm), and I'll be taking as much free time as I can get while I'm there and just enjoying being in a familiar place. And the weekend after that I'm heading to House on the Rock (AKA one of my favorite places ever) for a school project (I'm not mad at all it's gonna be awesome AF).

So, the rest of this wrap up may be a bit sad seeing as I haven't really been reading...

Finished

The Broken Kingdoms

Currently Reading

So I was reading Outlander but it's dragging (or maybe that's just my feet...) so I picked up The Language of Thorns. After this I think I'll get to an ARC (possibly Frankie? We'll see) and after that who knows! I threw out my TBR list because I'm trying to read more spontaneously.

Upcoming Posts

I actually don't know. I don't know at all. Expect to see a review sooner than later but honestly this month I have nearly nothing scheduled and even those few posts aren't even finished yet so it could be a while. I'm really sorry that this month is gonna be so rough but in November things should start to peek up sharply. Thanks for sticking around!
