Good morning! This has felt like a long week for some reason — maybe because I have no class and not much work to have been worrying about! Fortunately, there’s always books.
Received to review:
Dragons and dragon-slayers? I’m in!
Finished this week:
Five stars to: Ancillary Sword.
Four stars to: The House of Binding Thorns, Whose Body?, Bloodshot, The City of Dreaming Books and A Closed and Common Orbit.
Yep, this has been a good reading week!
Reviews posted this week:
–The Hate U Give, by Angie Thomas. I’m definitely not best-placed to comment on the accuracy/authenticity of this book, but I think it’s a powerful and timely one. 5/5 stars
–Spaceman, by Mike Massimino. Basically Massimino’s memoir of his experiences in the space program, and how he got there. Interesting though mostly not about the science. 3/5 stars
–Nature’s Patterns: A Tapestry in Three Parts, by Philip Ball. A fascinating exploration of patterns in nature, biological, geological and chemical. 4/5 stars
–Newt’s Emerald, by Garth Nix. Basically a classic Georgette Heyer plot with a magical twist, I found this a lot of fun. 4/5 stars

What’ve you been reading? Any exciting new books in your stacks?
I’ve had a good reading week, trying a few new authors and liking some enough to read on in their series. Promising at least! What would we do with our time if there weren’t books!!!

Oh goodness knows what I’d do! I’d get bored of video games in no time…
That cover of The Last Namsara looks very cool! ♥
Happy Reading!

Doesn’t it? Soon as I saw that dragon, I was sold, haha.
I thought this week felt really long too, which is weird since it was a short week for my husband because he only had to work 4 days instead of 5. Maybe I just kept telling myself it was a short week so it made it feel longer! lol Who knows! Looks like you had a great reading week tho! Hope you have a great weekend! Happy reading!

All one of them. 🙂 The others I’ve already read, finished ’em this week — and they were all pretty darn good!
I haven’t heard of The Last Namsara, but it sounds intriguing! Happy reading!
Yep, I’m sold on that dragon on the cover, in particular!
I also have an ARC of The Last Namsara for review. It’s always nice to find a new YA epic fantasy, hope it’ll be good!

Yes, fingers crossed!
The Hate You Give has been on my list to buy. The reviews so far have been awesome. Glad that you loved it too. Anyway, enjoy your books.

It’s definitely good; I hope you appreciate it too. Thanks for dropping by!
Ooooo, I love that cover of The Last Namsara! The USA cover is okay but it seems a little MG-ish to me (not that that’s a bad thing – but the book is YA). THIS cover is awesome. 😀 I hope you enjoy all of your new books, Nikki!
Have a fabulous week. =)
Check out my STS post!

All one of them! 😉 The others I finished this week.
But yeah, the cover is pretty awesome. That dragon!
