 I read 8 books this month to start off the year which is honestly more than I thought I was going to read. It's 2019 YAY

I just had my FIRST ever HIGH SCHOOL FINALS and it was hard to get good reading in. However, I did fine and I'm ready to start reading again!

This month was a load of GOOD books and a load of NOT SO GOOD books. I don't really know what's been happening but I've been going through a severe reading slump in which I've not been reading a lot and on top of that, the books I do read aren't the greatest. PLEASE RECOMMEND BOOKS

BOOK OF THE MONTH: Lord of Shadows
HONORABLE MENTION: Love and Gelato

 WHAT'S ON THE HORIZON:
Queen of Air and Darkness (!!!! YAYAY)
The Boy Most Likely To
Learning to Swear in America 
Fahrenheit 451 (school read)
