My “Most Anticipated Books of (Month/Year)” posts are a monthly post where I basically drool over, and talk a little about the books I’m excited to read that are going to be published verysoon.
As you know, March is just around the corner, so here are the titles that are being published in March that I’m most anticipating to read!
Hello friends! It’s that time of the month again where I do my monthly wrap up! Let’s se what happened this month, reading wise, and just my general monthly update.
With only having one book on my TBR this month, I kept my August TBR super short.. The book on my TBR for this August was Heir of Fire (Throne of Glass, #3) by Sarah J. Maas. I’m trying to read at least one Throne of Glass book a month until Kingdom of Ash is published, in October. And I’m fallin’ behind!
**Disclaimer: I received an Advanced Reader Copy from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This in no way impacted my review.**
A Wolf Apart is the second book in The Legend of All Wolves series by Maria Vale.
Can a human truly make room in her heart for the Wild?
Thea Villalobos has long since given up trying to be what others expect of her. So in Elijah Sorensson she can see through the man of the world to a man who is passionate to the point of heartbreak. But something inside him is dying…
Elijah Sorensson has all kinds of outward success: bespoke suits, designer New York City apartment, women clamoring for his attention. Except Elijah despises the human life he’s forced to endure. He’s Alpha of his generation of the Great North Pack, and the wolf inside him will no longer be restrained…
Publication Date: August 07, 2018.
I was genuinely looking forward to reading A Wolf Apart. I enjoyed reading The Last Wolf so I had high hopes for this second book in the series.
The beginning of this book had a rough start, for me personally. I knew right away that something was up with Elijah and it’s not until a later that you find out what’s been on his mind. I could tell that something was up with Elijah because he didn’t care about anything. Frankly his attitude was very poor and I didn’t like his character.
Somewhere along the line, Elijah meets Thea and very, very slowly, Elijah becomes Elijah again.
I thought that there’d be two points of view in A Wolf Apart. The synopsis hints at a view aside from Elijah. I would’ve enjoyed reading Thea’s view a lot. I can appreciate that we only had Elijah’s point of view though.
In the end, I liked that A Wolf Apart is Elijah and Thea’s story (mostly Elijah’s story, admittedly). Yet I can’t deny the fact that when my two favourite characters in The Legends of Wolves came around, I was super happy about that. I loved seeing Tiberious and Silver in this book. I loved that the worlds are colliding, but of course they’re colliding, because they’re in the same world. Seeing everyone together is great.
I give A Wolf Apart, 3.5 stars.
Happy Reading!

Hello friends! It’s that time of the month, where I talk about the book publishings that I’m looking forward to next month! Since it’s July this month, the books I’m going to be talking about in this post are books that are going to be published in August.
A little note as well, my genre-of-interest’s have grown from beyond Young Adult. Well, they’ve always been beyond only YA. But there are some non-YA books I’m going to be talking about in this post as well.
Without a further ado, here are the 9 books I’m looking forward to, in August.
Are there any books on this list that you’re interested in as well?
State of the ARC is a monthly meme at Avalinah’s Books meant to motivate you to finish up all your long overdue ARCs(Advanced or Early Reader Copies). You can track your reading progress and link up with your own post. Most commonly it comes out on the 30th of every month.
My goal for my June ARC’s post was to be able to say that I finished reading all the “current titles” I had. There were five titles to work through. Three of the ARCs were Fantasy, and the last two are be Mysteries. Continue reading

I told myself that I wouldn’t request any arcs this month… I already have enough to last me a long while, and believe me, I am working on it. This ARC pile I have is continuing work in progress. Yet there are too many interesting books out there! Too many! ..So I ended up requesting a few books. The ARCs I happily received this May are:
I didn’t have a set ‘To Be Read” pile/list for February, but I did want to try and read at least 10 ARC’s that I have. I’m so freakin’ happy to say that I’ve read 11 ARC’s! I DNF’d 3 of them, but I’m counting them as read, since I read enough to get a handle on the story. Continue reading

I’ve had my eye on this “State of the ARC” meme for a while now. I’ve never wanted to participate, since I myself am shamefully, incredibly behind on quite a few dozen ARC’s that I have. I cringe every time I think of them.
I found myself reading a few ARC’s I had this month, so I’m happy to say that I’m going to try and participate in these every month!
A huge Thank-You to Sourcebooks CASABLANCA via NetGalley, for allowing me to read The Last Wolf (The Legend of All Wolves, #1) by Maria Vale, in exchange for an honest review.
Trigger Warnings:
Gun Violence, Mentions of Torture, Death, Gun Violence Resulting in Death, Blood.
For three days out of thirty, when the moon is full and her law is iron, the Great North Pack must be wild.
If she returns to her Pack, the stranger will die.
But if she stays…
Silver Nilsdottir is at the bottom of her Pack’s social order, with little chance for a decent mate and a better life. Until the day a stranger stumbles into their territory, wounded and beaten, and Silver decides to risk everything on Tiberius Leveraux. But Tiberius isn’t all he seems, and in the fragile balance of the Pack and wild, he may tip the destiny of all wolves…
Publication Date: February 6, 2018.
The Last Wolf was very intriguing to me since there were two ways that I thought this story could go, according to my reading of the synopsis. On one hand I thought that The Last Wolf could be a Urban Fantasy book with a smidgen of a Dystopian type feel to the story. On the other hand I thought that The Last Wolf could be just like any other ShapeShifter Urban Fantasy book. – Continue reading
Hello lovelies! This is my final post for the first month of the new year! The older I get, the faster time seems to fly by and I have no idea how to handle that… As you can see by the title, today’s post is my January 2018 Wrap Up & Book Haul! Like last month, I seem to have gotten quite a few books. February is going to be one heck of a reading month, if I can find the time to read.
I didn’t have a set TBR this month. I wanted to keep things open and be able to Continue reading
