Hello Lovelies! I saw this book tag going around and I figured that since a Leap Year only comes every four years, it would be a while before I could do it again so… Why not?! Let’s just jump right in!

This is going to seem like a really cheesy answer, but I have to go with City of Bones. This was the series that got me into reading and it has to do with that something extra that was in it. I fell in love instantly and I know I wouldn’t be the reader I am today without this book.

I was really afraid to read The Cruel Prince for SOOOOO long. It was really hyped up and a lot of people’s favorites and I was really scared that I wasn’t going to like it. I put off reading it and then I finally took the plunge in September. I ended up being partially right because, while I liked certain aspects of this book, I wasn’t as blown away as I wanted to be.
If you would like to, you can read my reviewย here where I go into further detail on my feelings on this book.

The fourth book I read this year was Stolen By Them (Between Rebels #1). I actually really enjoyed this book, a lot more than I thought I was going to. It had a spin on villains and heroes that I really liked and I encourage you to check it out if you’re into RH or sci-fi!

This question ended up really working out. The 6th book on my 3rd shelf isย Empire of Storms (Throne of Glass #5) and the 6th book after that is Illuminae (The Illuminae Files #1). Both of these belong to some of my favorite series ever so I’m glad they were the answers to this question.

- Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson : I keep saying, “I’m going to read Brandon Sanderson this year”… and it just doesn’t happen. Maybe if I give myself four years it finally will ๐คฃ
- Red Sister (Book of the Ancestor #1) : I’m hoping to read this series soon, I just keep putting it off because I feel like I haven’t been ready for it. Now that the series is complete and the spin-off is coming out, I feel like I can finally start it. I definitely think that I’ll have read this by next Leap Year.
- A Kiss of Shadows (Merry Gentry #1) : I have read Laurell K. Hamilton’s other series and I loved it. This series is more fae focused than the other one so I’m really expecting to love it. I just haven’t been in the mood to pick it up quite yet.
- And I Darken (The Conqueror’s Saga #1) : This book has been on my TBR for so long that I just hope that I will have read it within the next four years.

One of the bookish things I like to stay away from is the controversies, particularly the ones on Twitter. I feel like people get really fired up on social media and a simple argument becomes a situation where a bunch of outside people get involved and then it just turns into this giant dumpster fire. And I definitely don’t want any part of that.
