Ah, book mail always makes a day a bit brighter☀️ My next two reads are Pachinko by Min Jin Lee and Ask Again, Yes by Mary Beth Keane. I’m so excited about both of these reads; one is a new release I’ve heard a lot of great things about and the other is one that I’ve been meaning to read for the past year. Now the dreaded question: which one am I going to read first?🤔 Let me know what your decision would be in the comments!!⬇️ _________________________________________ #currentlyreading #bookstagram #reading #bookish #bibliophile #bookworm #bookblogger #amreading #bookmail #marybethkeane #minjinlee #Pachinko #AskAgainYes

Look at me, actually finishing books and stuff. Yes, you heard that right. I just finished the lovely read “Children of Blood and Bone” by Tomi Adeyemi, and boy was it quite the ride.🤧 _________________________________________ This book was recommended to me by @sannareads (ps thanks again for the rec) and as someone who doesn’t typically read fantasy genre novels, this was a pleasant surprise. The characters were genuine and the fictional world that Adeyemi created was unique but easy to follow. At plot was gripping and kept me on the edge of my seat until the last sentence. If I had my quarrels with it, I would only say that at some points it read a bit too much like a fanfic for my taste (but then again, I’ve said that about most fantasy books I’ve read, so maybe this is just a sign that the fantasy genre is just an area I should avoid🤷‍♀️). Other than that, for a book that I normally wouldn’t have been drawn to in the first place, “Children of Blood and Bone” most certainly did a great job at grabbing (and keeping) my attention, as well as achieving the equivalent of putting all my emotions in a blender and swirling them around for 525 pages. If you love a lot of magic and a bit of romance, this book is for you. _________________________________________ Normally I would direct everyone to check out my full review on my blog, but I’ve been debating on retiring it and just continuing my bookish ways here on Instagram. So, instead I’ll ask you to comment your thoughts on this book down below!!📖 _________________________________________ #currentlyreading #bookstagram #reading #bookish #bibliophile #bookworm #bookblogger #amreading #ChildrenOfBloodAndBone #TomiAdeyemi
