Why I Haven’t Been Reading

Time for the classic excuse of ‘I haven’t been reading because I have school/work’. This, of course is true, but I still feel bad about my lack of reading. However, I have been able to check out some shows and movies on Netflix. I’ll get to reviewing some of these shows later this week so I can, hopefully, get back into reviewing things. For anyone who is curious, I’m currently reading A Conjuring of Light by V E Schwab and I can’t wait to finish it!

See you in an upcoming review,
Elise

Hello fellow readers and in lieu of my usual Goodreads Monday post I’m here to discuss a book by one of my favorite authors that will be coming within the next year— This Savage Song by Victoria Schwab.

The examples are endless from Rick Riordan being one of the first I noticed doing this, to Cassandra Clare, and more recently Leigh Bardugo. I was a big fan of Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson and the Olympians series back in middle school! I’ve read most of those books multiple times, but when I was reading The Mark of Athena , I just found myself no longer caring about these characters. I stopped halfway through the novel, and it was the last Rick Riordan novel I’ve attempted to read. I still see all of the different mythology series that he is releasing but I just can’t bring myself to care. All I can think about is how it feels like Rick Riordan is just trying to get every last penny out of these books and characters while he can. Now let me back up and say, I h...
