Hunted across the True Sea, haunted by the lives she took on the Fold, Alina must try to make a life with Mal in an unfamiliar land. She finds starting new is not easy while keeping her identity as the Sun Summoner a secret. She can’t outrun her past or her destiny for long.

The Darkling has emerged from the Shadow Fold with a terrifying new power and a dangerous plan that will test the very boundaries of the natural world. With the help of a notorious privateer, Alina returns to the country she abandoned, determined to fight the forces gathering against Ravka. But as her power grows, Alina slips deeper into the Darkling’s game of forbidden magic, and farther away from Mal. Somehow, she will have to choose between her country, her power, and the love she always thought would guide her--or risk losing everything to the oncoming storm.

What will come of my blog? || BOOKISH TALKS

HEY all!!

So this is a message from the lovely writer of this blog...me!!! I would just like to say how sorry I am for the lack of posting, it has been so hard for me to write posts, make videos for my booktube channel, do school homework, and so forth. So I have decided I will only be posting book reviews here and maybe monthly wrap ups but that is all so however long between each book is when I will post a review! 

I wish I could post every day on different things but I just physically can't anymore, and in a way I feel like a failure for not being able to keep up with my blog and my booktube channel on youtube :(. In a way I feel like I am failing you as well. 

So like I said before I mostly will only be posting 2-3x a week with only book reviews, as this is why I started it to begin with! I won't be doing any memes or other things out of the norm! With summer now here I will be reading quite a bit so this also gives me time to figure out what I am going to do about next fall and how to keep my blog going! 


Thanks for all your patience and love!!

 Lost and broken, Celaena Sardothien’s only thought is to avenge the savage death of her dearest friend: as the King of Adarlan’s Assassin, she is bound to serve this tyrant, but he will pay for what he did. Any hope Celaena has of destroying the king lies in answers to be found in Wendlyn. Sacrificing his future, Chaol, the Captain of the King’s Guard, has sent Celaena there to protect her, but her darkest demons lay in that same place. If she can overcome them, she will be Adarlan’s biggest threat – and his own toughest enemy.

While Celaena learns of her true destiny, and the eyes of Erilea are on Wendlyn, a brutal and beastly force is preparing to take to the skies. Will Celaena find the strength not only to win her own battles, but to fight a war that could pit her loyalties to her own people against those she has grown to love?

TBR CHALLENGE...

I know! I am posting two things in a day..I am impressed with myself, I promise guys I will try to get up posts every day, I am going to try to get up at least two! Also I have a question at the bottom of this post so please answer that!!

So my friends if most of you have not heard what TBR Challenge is then let me fill you with a vast amount of knowledge. TBR = To Be Read and what many people do is they make a TBR Jar where they write the books that are on their shelves that have not been read yet or want to reread, where they then role them up and put them in a mason jar.
