Welcome to 2019 everyone!
I love this January because it seems like everyone is a little more upbeat. A new year means new things to look forward to and new goals to set and achieve. My goal is to read at least 100 books this year. In 2018 I managed to get through 104 which made me super proud of myself! Some of the books I read this year will be short books like manga or middle-grade but I still count those anyway! At least I'm reading. ;)
I won it from a BookishFirst raffle in exchange for an honest review. If you haven't signed up for them I highly recommend them. You just have to read the synopsis and the first few pages then write a "first impression" and wait to see if you've been chosen. I've gotten a ton of books from them and I'm always so thankful!
This one is out on the 15th of this month, and I expect I'll finish it within a day or two. Just enough time to prepare a review on it!
Tarot was another review book that I'll be reading after The Gilded Wolves. This one isn't out until February 19th. It honestly seems so unique I got lost in the synopsis when I read it! I've included it below.
Synopsis from Goodreads:
Anna was never supposed to exist. Born of a forbidden union between the Queen and the tyrannical King’s archnemesis, Anna is forced to live out her days isolated in the Tower, with only her mentors and friends the Hermit, the Fool, and the Magician to keep her company. To pass the time, Anna imagines unique worlds populated by creatives and dreamers—the exact opposite of the King’s land of fixed fates and rigid rules—and weaves them into four glorious tapestries.
But on the eve of her sixteenth birthday and her promised release from the Tower, Anna discovers her true lineage: She’s the daughter of Marco, a powerful magician, and the King is worried that his magical gifts are starting to surface in Anna. Fearing for her life, Anna flees the Tower and finds herself in Cups, a lush, tropical land full of all the adventure, free-spiritedness, and creativity she imagined while weaving.
Anna thinks she’s found paradise in this world of beachside parties, endless food and drink, and exhilarating romance. But when the fabric of Cups begins to unravel, Anna discovers that her tapestries are more than just decoration. They’re the foundation for a new world that she is destined to create—as long as the terrors from the old world don’t catch up with her first.
Most Wanted will be the third one I pick up this month if I keep my reading streak. Sometimes I get in moods and don't pick up a book for a week or two but in order to hit 100 books I need to stay on task and keep up with books.
I receive all of Lisa's books when they come out for some reason so she's quickly became a favorite of mine. This will be the 4th or 5th one of hers I'll be reading, so it's safe to assume that she has a knack for keeping her readers engaged and coming back for more.
Thanks for reading what's on my TBR for this month! Leave a comment with some of what's on yours if you want. I love engagement and always reciprocate if possible. :)
