Monthly Wrap Up

October 2020 Monthly Wrap Up

This month has been busy! I am currently co hosting a readalong for The Empire of Gold which I have loved. I especially love seeing everyone’s reactions when reading.

I also spent a lot of this month organising my Muslim Shelf Space bookish box which are still available to buy on my etsy if you are interested!

I also read some incredible books this month! So here is what I read this month:

Kingdom of the Wicked by Kerri Maniscalco – I loved this so much! I am completely hooked and I cannot wait for the sequel. My full review is here

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Recipe for Persuasion by Sonali Dev – While I did enjoy this I didn’t love it as much as Pride, Prejudice and Other Flavours.

Rating: 3 out of 5.

The Bone Witch by Rin Chupeco – I really loved this book! It was so interesting and unique!

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Prime Deceptions by Valerie Valdes – The sequel was even better than the first book and we get more space cats! My full review is here

Legendborn by Tracy Deonn – This book was phenomenal! I havem’t stopped thinking about it since I read it. My full review is here

The Reckless Afterlife of Harriet Stoker by Lauren James – This was a really great spooky read.

Rating: 3 out of 5.

The Silvered Serpents by Roshani Chokshi – This book tore my heart to shreds.

The Heart Forger by Rin Chupeco – I devoured this book in two evenings I could not stop reading I loved it so much.

  1. Kingdom of the Wicked and Hunted by the Sky are my priority reads for the next couple of months. I liked Stalking Jack the Ripper series, mostly (the first book was my favourite). While I have some issues with the author’s pacing in her stories, I do adore her writing style. It can be pretty immersive. Hunted by the Sky just sounds so fierce and beautiful and magical. Hope you have a lovely November too!
