10. A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab
I gave this 4/5 stars. I just read it and really loved it. Review to come.

Same here. I think it’s because I’m being a little more selective with my choices! When I read a lot of not so good books, it’s easy to get in a slump!

I totally understand… February was a bad slump for me and I’ve since been picking up only those which have good reviews from bloggers who share my taste…
LikeLiked by 1 person
That’s the best way to go!! I try not to read books that are all hyped. I do my research and see what those who share my taste think!

True… I try and read some negative reviews for highly hyped books to make sure it’s my kinda book …
LikeLiked by 1 person
Same here! They are usually more truthful! I always make sure it wasn’t because they got the book for free to review.
LikeLiked by 1 person
I know.. can’t imagine being biased just coz the book was free.. I end up not liking arcs so many times, but would rather not review than give a dishonest opinion…
LikeLiked by 1 person
Yeah.. I on the other hand have a harder time getting arcs because I will post a review, even if I don’t like it! I feel like they shouldn’t expect everyone to love their book. I’m never rude, just point out what didn’t work for me.

I get that.. I post on Netgalley but don’t bother putting up a negative review on my blog… it’s probably why I never get the arcs that I actually want 😜😜😜

Yup, probably the same reason for me! Honest people don’t always win! 😆😂

I ended up loving Nevernight too, although it took me a while to get into. I didn’t gel at all with the style at first! Godsgrave is wonderful too, although the plotline and setting is way different!
I wasn’t a huge fan of Warcross though, not really. I mean, it was alright, but I don’t think I’d feel the need to read it again.
Great list 🙂

I am getting that now. I’m about 160 pages in Godsgrave and it’s different but so much action! I am so sad it’s going to be until next September for the third book!
