A Year in Review...

As per usual, I have not been the greatest at keeping this blog updated, but it's not for lack of books!
According to my 2016 Reading List, I read 151 books last year!  (Plus a few I might have forgotten to add)

  • Unfortunately, only 6 of those books have a blog post about them
  • 13 of the books on my list were e-books, read on my Kindle or using the Kindle app
  • 5 books were ones I had also read earlier in the year (mark Re-read on my list)
  • Within the list, there are at least 24 different book series
  • There are 56 different authors on the list
  • My three highest months for reading were: June with 30 books, May with 23 books, and August with 19 books
  • My three lowest months for reading were: February with 2 books, January with 3, and March with 5
Overall, although I only posted 10 posts in 2016, and a mere 4 of them focused solely on books, I feel like 2016 was a good year for the blog!  I started a Pinterest for BookWormin', which you can check out here.  I also tried out my new idea to travel the world through books, which can be found here.  I hope to keep these things going through 2017 and hopefully I will be able to blog more as well.  Thanks to those of you who keep checking in!
Happy reading through the next year!

Reluctantly Yours by Erin Hawkins

 Thank you to Social Butterfly PR and Erin Hawkins for sending me an e-ARC of this book to read and review!  As always, this review is my honest opinion and can be found on my Goodreads profile as well as this blog. This story is great and the chemistry between Barrett and Chloe is a delight!  Enemies-to-lovers and fake dating are always a great combination of tropes and Erin Hawkins writes them very well. Even when we as readers have an inkling or two of how this is going to turn out in the end (it is a romance, after all), it feels fresh and exciting as we get to know the characters, their motivations, and the personalities that make them click so well.   I am a big character-driven reader and I really enjoyed reading both Chloe and Barrett's perspectives.  These character have dimensions that lend more  to  the story than just the romance, while also being delightfully attracted to each other and keeping the romance part of the book  adequately  spiced. Don’t let the adorable c

Bravely by Maggie Stiefvater

Disney, bold & brave, magical 5 stars As a huge fan of Maggie Stiefvater’s, I was to excited to receive an ARC of Bravely from Disney Books on NetGalley. After reading it I can confidently say I cannot imagine another author who would have done justice to the continuation of Merida’s story.   “Red hair, keen eyes, quick brain, built to start fires but not to put them out.” - Prologue, p. xiii Stiefvater writes in such a way that magic is an intrinsic part of every story, even when it is not fully present.  The imagery is vivid, the emotions are strong, the plot is easy to follow yet hard to predict. As Merida makes a bet with gods of old and takes on the challenge of changing her family before destruction comes for DunBroch, readers get sucked into a story about family and nature, growth and magic.  This story is also an amazing continuation of the Disney/Pixar film Brave. The wild triplets are grown boys now, with their personalities expanded and separate from each other. Fergus
