  ★★★☆☆     ★★★☆☆      ★★★☆☆       ★★☆☆☆     ★★★★☆     ★★★☆☆

• Becoming The Dark Prince [01/10/2019] – 3 ⭐ – I wish I could tell you guys that I loved this and it made my day and it was worth the however much I paid for it. But honestly, this did nothing for me.
• The Chase [07/10/2019] – 3 ⭐ – Buddy read with Rebecca – This was nothing special but it was a fun read!
• The Risk [08/10/2019] – 3 ⭐ – Buddy read with Rebecca – “If wishes were horses we’d all be equestrians.” And that about sums this book up. 🙈
• The Play [09/10/2019 – 15/10/19] – 3 ⭐ – Buddy read with Rebecca – I didn’t hate this but I didn’t love it either. I think I need to take a break from the overwhelming NA stereotypes for a few weeks.
• Clockwork Prince [01/10/19 – 20/10/19] – 3 ⭐ – I didn’t love this. I knew it was more centred around Will so I never thought it would be a 5 star read but, I thought at least I would appreciate it enough to rate it 4 stars.
• Eclipse [20/20/19 – 26/10/19] – 3 ⭐ – Buddy read with Rebecca – This could have been a lot worse but it also could have been a lot better, it was very middle of the road.

  ★★★★☆     ★★★☆☆      ★★★☆☆       ★★☆☆☆     ★★★★☆     ★★★☆☆     ★★★☆☆

• Mostly Void, Partially Stars [03/11/19 – 11/11/19] – 4 ⭐ – I cannot explain the inherent joy that reading this brought me. If you haven’t listened to or read this book series, you need to!
• The Great Glowing Coils of the Universe [11/11 – 12/11/19] – 3.5 ⭐ – This wasn’t as good as book 1, but I did really enjoy the character and world developments and I can tell that I’m quickly becoming attached to these characters (except for Steve Carslberg, duh!).

  ★★★★☆     ★★★☆☆      ★★★☆☆       ★★★★☆     ★★★☆☆     ★★★★☆     ★★☆☆☆

• The Buying of Lot 37 [12/11 – 01/12/19] – 4 ⭐ – I read this collection a lot slower than the others but I loved it just as much!
• The Magician’s Nephew [04/12/2019] – 3 ⭐ – I won’t lie, I know absolutely nothing about this world but, I did enjoy this. I won’t say it was amazing, but I’m certainly interested in continuing this series.
• The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe [05/12/2019] – 3 ⭐ – I actually enjoyed this more than I thought I would, that being said this felt almost too fast for me? Which is such a weird complaint since the main reason I read this is because of the page number. Also, the blatant sexism wasn’t fun to read.
• Scythe [8 – 12/12/19] – 4 ⭐ – This is genuinely a good book but the romance was so unbelievable and underdeveloped that it brought the whole book down.
• Sense & Sensibility [26 – 27/12/19] – 3.5 ⭐ – I’ve never read this one before but I recently saw a few scenes from the movie and was intrigued, so I decided to try reading the book. I’m not shocked that I enjoyed it because I already know I love Jane Austen’s writing but I am surprised by how much I enjoyed it. I still prefer Pride & Prejudice, but I know I will definitely return to this story in the future!
• Pride & Prejudice [27 – 28/12/19] – 4 ⭐ – I think this has been my favourite re-read so far!
• Emma [28 – 29/12/19] – 2.75 ⭐ – I am not an Emma stan and so I really really didn’t like this book.
