The Sunday Post #15
The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba from The Caffeinated Book Reviewer.
Woohoo, freedom! Boy, did I do some hardcore relaxing this week. New courses started, grades from the old ones are trickling in, and it’s one of the quietest weeks of the entire academic year.
Which means I dove back into reading with a vengeance. Because I ran out of manga, I’m reading normal books again, and I finally picked up Mistborn.
The thing I like most about this time of year and the phase in my course that I’m now in is that I can completely control my own hours. I only have four hours of classes every week, and everything else is up to me to plan. I love being able to plan my own day.
This week on Nyx Book Reviews
- Review: Plus One by Elizabeth Fama
- YA Crossover by Nick Bryan (Blog Tour)
- Review: World War Z by Max Brooks
A pretty cool guest post for a blog tour (if I say so myself), and two more reviews. I didn’t enjoy Plus One very much, especially because the worldbuilding was lacking, and World War Z was fun, but just not my kind of book.
This week on Irresponsible Cactus
It seems to be the week of critical reviews! Escape Velocity had an interesting concept, but I had some issues with how the story telling was handled.
Read this week
- Danny the Champion of the World by Roald Dahl – 4☆
- I, Robot by Isaac Asimov – 3.5☆
- Hell’s Heroes by Darren Shan – 2☆
Easing back into reading after my stressful period with a Roald Dahl, I got ready for some old-school science-fiction with Isaac Asimov. Hell’s Heroes is the last book in the Demonata series, which means I finished my first series of my series challenge! On Thursday I started reading Mistborn, which is a pretty big book, so it’ll probably keep me busy for a bit longer.
Also, a quick reminder that I have a giveaway going on at the moment!
