<span style="font-size: large;">Hello everyone!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Since I shared my favorite books of 2019, it's only fitting I share my least favorites. I know some of these books are people's favorite books of all time, but they just weren't for me. If you want to check out my least favorite books of 2018, I'll link it <a href="https://abbysreadingcorner.blogspot.com/2019/01/least-favorite-books-of-2018.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>New Moon by Mariss Meyer</b></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I liked Twilight well enough, so I thought I'd give the second book a go and absolutely hated it. I'm not going to be continuing with the series.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>A Study in Charlotte by Brittany Cavallaro</b></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This book actually kinda disgusted me. I didn't really like the themes for how young they were. I feel like if there were more to the characters and they didn't annoy me so much I would've liked the book a lot more.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>By Your Side by Kasie West</b></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I think Kasie West just isn't meant for me. I haven't fallen in love with any of the books I've read from her. They're all a bit flat for me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I had such high hopes going into this book and it just ended up disappointing me. I didn't feel attached to the story in any way which made it unenjoyable for me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This book did not live up to its hype. I was bored the entire time I read this book. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">To be honest, I don't even remember what this book is about, but I remember hating it at the time I read it. So that's that.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This book disgusted me. I don't understand how everyone loves it. The subject is so disturbing. I didn't enjoy reading this book one bit.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I really wanted to like this book because I love The Dark Crystal, but the story was very flat and it didn't even match up with the Netflix reboot which really irked me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I was intrigued with the first quarter of this book, then it started to drag for me. I lost interest about halfway through and skimmed until the end. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I really wanted to like this book so bad because 1) my friend recommended it to me and 2) I love some of Shannon Hale's other work. I just hated the pacing of the book and the main character annoyed me.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello everyone!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm always curious to see which books people loved reading during the year. So I'm here to share my top 10 favorite books of 2019 with you all. It was tough to narrow them all down, but I've done it. Not all of them were published in 2019, but they're all books I read for the first time in 2019. And I don't have to give a book 5 stars for it to be my favorite. There's one series in here that I'm counting as one book. I couldn't put them in order from of my most favorite so I'm just sharing them in the order I read them. If you want to check out my favorite books of 2018, I'll link it <a href="https://abbysreadingcorner.blogspot.com/2019/01/favorite-books-of-2018.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I read this book pretty much as soon as it came out because I loved the first book so much. It lived up to all my expectations, but gave the worst cliffhanger. I still haven't read Queen of Nothing, so please don't spoil it for me. That'll hopefully change by the end of the month.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I read this book mostly because the movie was coming out and I wanted to read the book first. Both were really cute. Plus the cover of this book is so stunning. Be prepared to cry going into this book.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I saw the movie years ago and wanted to read the book. I still think the movie is better, but this story was still so cute and sad. Needless to say, I cried reading this book too.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This book really surprised me. I liked Wonderwoman: Warbringer when I read it, but I wasn't in love with it. I thought it was going to be the same for this one, but I fell in love with the story and the characters. It was a great read.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This book was very informational and I know it's one I'll return to again and again. It has a bit of humor mixed in to make it more interesting, and she contacted other authors to help her with some of her advice.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello everyone!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I can't believe that December is already over and it's already the new year! I will be posting my favorite and least favorite books of 2019 in the very near future as well as a post about my reading stats and goals I have for the new year. Anyways, I was able to read 7 books which is pretty impressive compared to my reading the past few months. I think I'm finally coming out of my reading slump.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello everyone!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This book haul is a bit late, but I didn't get my BookOutlet box until last week. I took advantage of <a href="https://bookoutlet.com/" target="_blank">BookOutlet</a>'s big sale and got myself some books. Surprisingly, most of the box was full of books I'd already read, so I was pretty good at not buying books I haven't read yet. I also made one purchase on Amazon because they had a box set for a super sweet deal and I couldn't resist the urge to buy it. I'll start with <a href="https://bookoutlet.com/Loyalty/Referral?raf=7cEEBror&c=url" target="_blank">BookOutlet</a> and the books I haven't read previous to buying them.</span><br />

I was just so attached to the characters and I didn't want anything bad to happen to them. I'm being very vague because this is the third book in a trilogy so I don't want to spoil it for anyone.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>6. The Most Wonderful Time of Year - Your favorite book/kind of book to read during the holidays.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I really enjoy reading Christmas novels, especially if they have an element of romance. Romantic Christmas reads are my favorite.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>7. We Three Kings - Your favorite trilogy.</b></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I feel like this is such an underrated series and more people should read it. It's about angels and I really enjoyed it when I read it. I still need to reread it to see if it's still my favorite trilogy, but as of now, it is.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I was expecting this book to be as good as the movie/tv series, but it fell short for me.

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello everyone!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I've been watching booktube for years, but recently it seems to be the only thing I'm watching. (I think it's because I'm finally out of my slump and I want ALL the book recommendations and videos.) I wanted to share all of my favorite booktubers.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCitWkXMREnBFnaBYIHk9rpg" target="_blank">Brittany the Bibliophile</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Brittany always has such a high energy in her videos and I love how excited she gets when talking about books. Her annotation video is also very helpful if you're looking to start annotating your books. My reading tastes are also very similar to hers which makes her recommendations so helpful.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/CapsLock179" target="_blank">Chelsea Palmer</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I love Chelsea's personality and her videos are always so fun to watch. She also has some of the coolest shelves I've ever seen (she built them herself). She also has goats who sometimes pick her TBR for her which I think is such a unique idea. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7FW6FYqPLeQIXMSulBfOLw" target="_blank">Merphy Napier</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Merphy's videos are so well done. You can tell she puts so much thought into each video and how she talks about books is so beautiful. She's really good at giving descriptions of books and is so thorough in her reviews. I just love her videos so much.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/ThoughtsOnTomes" target="_blank">Thoughts on Tomes</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If you're looking for fantasy recommendations, Sam has all of them for you. Her reviews are so honest and I always love admiring her nails in all her videos. I love her shelf set up as well.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCW5R53ckTBE4JJtUmc64lng" target="_blank">Books With Emily Fox</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I think Emily's videos are so unique in the fact that she also shares French books since she is French Canadian. She also reads so many sci-fi fantasy books as well as thrillers, so if those are the kinds of books you love reading, I'm sure she has a recommendation for you. I've honestly gotten so many recs from her and have liked them all so far. She also has such a cute personality.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnoJo5BdCdNh7lGMytTZnzQ" target="_blank">A Dash of Ash</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ashley is honestly the cutest person I have ever seen. Her aesthetic is everything! Her energy just makes you so excited to read books. I LOVE watching her videos when I'm slumpy to try and get me back into a good reading mood.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/abookutopia" target="_blank">abookutopia</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I believe Sasha was the very first booktuber I ever watched so she had to be included in this list. She has such a funny personality and I love how she describes books. She has grown and matured so much through the years. And she is obsessed with Scotland, so if you're in need of any books set in Scotland, Sasha has some books for you.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcFDfqou7t9DpehmvPRbDSA" target="_blank">Books With Chloe</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have no idea where Chloe's from, but her accent is so relaxing. She also annotates her books, so she's another good one to watch if you're interested in that. Chloe also has really good manga recommendations that I want to check out eventually. Her makeup always looks so flawless as well.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmT3SYwGCZvzFLTo_18Cvnw" target="_blank">BooksandLala</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If you haven't heard of BooksandLala, have you been living under a rock? Just kidding. I think she's one of the most popular booktubers and I think it's because she's brutally honest about her book tastes. She doesn't pretend to like a book, if she dislikes it, she'll let you know right away. I've also never seen anyone with as specific of a reading taste as she has. I don't really share her reading tastes, but I still really enjoy her videos. I think I've watched almost all of them at this point.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/girlygirlbookworm" target="_blank">Girlygirlbookworm</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If you're in the mood for a romance, Nicole has the recommendations for you. Her videos may not be of the highest quality, but I love them. She reads so many romance, thrillers, and historical fiction novels. A lot of the books she reads I've also never heard of. She reads so many books under the radar, so if you're looking for something that's not overhyped, she has a book for you I'm sure.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Let me know who your favorite booktubers are if you have any. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful day.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hello everyone!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Today I wanted to share my review of Saint X by Alexis Schaitkin. I was kindly sent this ARC by Celadon books so a huge thank you to them. I read this book last month and figured I'd share my thoughts about it with you guys.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">Synopsis: Claire is only seven years old when her college-age sister, Alison, disappears on the last night of their family vacation at a resort on the Caribbean island of Saint X. Several days later, Alison’s body is found in a remote spot on a nearby cay, and two local men</span><b style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">–</b><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">employees at the resort</span><b style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">–</b><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">are arrested. But the evidence is slim, the timeline against it, and the men are soon released. The story turns into national tabloid news, a lurid mystery that will go unsolved. For Claire and her parents, there is only the return home to broken lives.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">Years later, Claire is living and working in New York City when a brief but fateful encounter brings her together with Clive Richardson, one of the men originally suspected of murdering her sister. It is a moment that sets Claire on an obsessive pursuit of the truth</span><b style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">–</b><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">not only to find out what happened the night of Alison’s death but also to answer the elusive question: Who exactly was her sister? At seven, Claire had been barely old enough to know her: a beautiful, changeable, provocative girl of eighteen at a turbulent moment of identity formation.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">As Claire doggedly shadows Clive, hoping to gain his trust, waiting for the slip that will reveal the truth, an unlikely attachment develops between them, two people whose lives were forever marked by the same tragedy. (<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/43782399-saint-x" target="_blank">Goodreads</a>)</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The first thing I want to say is the first quarter of this book I loved. About 150 pages in was where I started to find myself distancing myself from the plot and characters. I slowly lost interest, and to be quite honest, I think I skimmed the last half of the book. The mystery started to become quite predictable and I ended up hating the characters.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">What dragged me in initially was the authors writing style. She paints such vivid pictures with her words, but that can only carry a story so far. You have to also move your plot along. Maybe I didn't like it as much because I don't read as many mysteries. Maybe someone who loves mysteries would really like this book.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I gave this book 2 stars. ⭐⭐ The reason it got two instead of one is because I really did like the beginning. I think if it had followed Claire as a young girl, I would have liked it a lot more. I also didn't really like the added perspectives from other characters, I didn't think they were necessary.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This book will be released February 2020 if you are interested in checking it out. Just because I didn't like it doesn't mean you won't. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Thanks for stopping by. Have a fantastic day.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello everyone!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's officially the Christmas season! I thought I'd make this blog post to help anyone out who needs to buy a gift for a bookworm. These are all gifts I would love to receive as a reader so I hope you all agree.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Bookmarks</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">You can never have too many bookmarks in my opinion. I always end up losing mine and have to improvise by using random objects. My favorite bookmarks at the moment are the magnetic ones. They clip to your page and don't slide out which is super nice. Some great places to buy bookmarks are <a href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/s/bookmarks?_requestid=527702" target="_blank">Barnes and Noble</a>, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/s?k=bookmarks&ref=nb_sb_noss" target="_blank">Amazon</a>, <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/TheBookCharmShop" target="_blank">The Book Charm Shop</a>, <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/KnightmaresDaydreams?ref=simple-shop-header-name&listing_id=722390444" target="_blank">Knightmares Daydreams</a>, and <a href="https://www.bookartbookmarks.com/" target="_blank">Book Art Bookmarks</a>. Honestly, you can buy bookmarks pretty much anywhere. You can also make origami bookmarks. Link to a tutorial <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEwl0fvqo18" target="_blank">here</a>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Book Sleeves</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I personally don't own any book sleeves yet, but I'd love to get a couple. They're great to carry your books around when you're on the go so no damage can be done to your books. Some great places to buy book sleeves are <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/DriSewing?ref=simple-shop-header-name&listing_id=526587583" target="_blank">DriSewing</a> (they sell more than just book sleeves, but their fabrics are so adorable!), <a href="https://www.amazon.com/s?k=book+sleeves&gclid=CjwKCAiA5o3vBRBUEiwA9PVzaqqQkGxhPlKTuLKfqgXuR37yaPe53cbr6PMqeB1Enl3ybIyMeZ1gSxoCwtUQAvD_BwE&hvadid=241932310714&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9029855&hvnetw=g&hvpos=1t1&hvqmt=e&hvrand=4697686650784526515&hvtargid=kwd-725835231&hydadcr=24663_10400925&tag=googhydr-20&ref=pd_sl_45zf91azhk_e" target="_blank">Amazon</a>, <a href="https://www.sewhappystitchhappy.com/" target="_blank">Sew Happy Stitch Happy</a>, and <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/PowerInPages?ref=simple-shop-header-name&listing_id=589982788&ga_search_query=fabric%20book%20sleeve" target="_blank">Power In Pages</a>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Book and Fandom Swag</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Who wouldn't love to some awesome swag that represents their favorite fandom? A really good place I've found with bookish swag is <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/BookishAdventures" target="_blank">Bookish Adventures</a>. Some other great places to look are Barnes and Noble, and Amazon.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Books!!!</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">You can't go wrong with getting your bookworm a book they've been wanting for a while. <a href="https://bookoutlet.com/Loyalty/Referral?raf=7cEEBror&c=url" target="_blank">Book Outlet</a> and Amazon have some great prices on books. Barnes and Noble is always a nice place to buy books as well and sometimes they have some killer deals around the holidays. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I hope this post helped you get a few ideas for bookish gifts. What do you want this year for Christmas? I'd love to know.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello everyone!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I recently did a post about the 20 books I wanted to read next year so I thought I'd also share a post about all the books/series I'd like to reread next year.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>The Selection by Kiera Cass</b></span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">This is one of my favorite series of all time so I really want to reread it next year.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard</b></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">I really only have the first three books to reread and then I can read the final book and the newest novella collection. (I wasn't a huge fan of Cruel Crown.)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Michael Vey by Richard Paul Evans</b></span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">I always talk about how much I love this series and next year will be the first time I reread the series as a whole instead of only part of it while I'm waiting for the next installment.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">I don't think I need to explain my reasons for rereading Harry Potter. It's just an amazing series.</span></div>
<div>

<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">I haven't read this series since I was preteen so I want to see if I like it as much now as I did back then.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">My reason for rereading this book is to determine whether or not I'm going to unhaul it.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello everyone!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I was only able to get around to reading 3 books in the month of November, but I liked all but one of them which is good. I'm hoping my reading in December will increase because these past few months have been very slumpy for me. (And I'm pretty sure I'm not going to make my Goodreads goal which is sad ☹)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello everyone! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's been a while since I've posted and for that I am really sorry. At this point I'm not going to promise to try and post consistently because I don't think that's going to happen. But I can promise to post when inspiration hits and I will still do monthly wrap-ups. Anyways, I wanted to share 20 books that I want to get to in the year 2020. These will all be books that I've been highly anticipating reading for a while with a couple new releases mixed in.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I feel like I'm the last person to get around to reading this book, but I'm determined to make it happen next year. I've heard nothing but good things about this book, like seriously no bad reviews. I'm trying not to have high expectations, but it's almost inevitable with how much this book is talked about.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I've been anticipating reading this book ever since it was announced but still haven't read it. It's a Princess and the Pea retelling from what I've been told and I'm so excited. I love A.Gl Howard's writing style and her books are so whimsical. I can't wait to dive into this story.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I've been meaning to read this book since it came out last year. I think my sister is eagerly anticipating to get her book back as well. I've been holding it hostage for months on the off chance I get the urge to pick it up and that IS going to happen next year. I think I decided to get myself into the mood to read the conclusion to one of my favorite series, I just need to reread the series. It doesn't help that I also got spoiled for the ending, but it's one of those books that I just need to buckle down and read because it's been months in the making.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">So far, I've LOVED the first two books in the DC Icons series but haven't gotten around to the last two yet. I'm worried to read Catwoman because I haven't liked what I've read from Sarah J. Maas in the past (please don't hurt me) but if the story is anything like the first two books, then I have nothing to worry about. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This book might be a bit ambitious to be putting on this list since it is over 1,000 pages, but if I at least start it next year I think I'll be happy with myself. I've always loved the plot from the movie and am excited to read the book hopefully next year. (Fingers crossed)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello everyone!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So in my <a href="https://abbysreadingcorner.blogspot.com/2019/09/life-update.html" target="_blank">life update</a> post, I mentioned how I was planning on reading at least 3 books in September and I met that goal! I technically read 4 but one of them is a bind-up (meaning there's two books in one). I'm hoping to get back into the full swing of things in October since I've become more adjusted to my school and work schedule. I'm still finding a balance between social life and reading, but for now I'm proud of how much I've been reading compared to over the summer. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I think Crown of Feathers has a nice combination of all three colors, plus it's a gorgeous cover. I'm hoping that I can get to read it this fall.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I won't say too much about The One to avoid giving away spoilers, but every time I think of this book it gives me the warmest, coziest feeling. I think it was a great end to a trilogy, cuz let's be real, The Heir and The Crown are really a duology.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello everyone!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I know it's been a while since I've posted, but I'm hoping to get back into making regular posts. The main reason I haven't posted in so long is I've been in a major reading slump. I haven't felt like reading anything, and when I do try I am forcing my way through the book. I'm slowly getting out of that and will hopefully feel more inspired to make more bookish posts. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I've also recently started going to school for cosmetology and am working quite a bit, so I haven't had much downtime to make posts. I'm still trying to balance all of that, but hopefully I'll be able to make more time for books.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I thought I'd also include my August wrap-up since I only read one book. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello everyone!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">July has been a pretty slow reading month for me. I also didn't complete the Medieval-a-thon like I planned. I was able to read 4 books this month, one of which was an audiobook.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello everyone!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Today I wanted to share my favorite ships from books and add a little extra twist. I'm going to share 3 songs for each couple that I think represent their relationships. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Michael Vey and Taylor Ridley (Michael Vey series)</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">They are my #1 ship. I love them so much and I want a relationship like theirs. They've been through so much and have grown for the better from it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1 - Endless Love by Lionel Richie and Diana Ross</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">2 - If I Could Fly by One Direction</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">3 - Who Wants to Live Forever by Queen</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Sophie Foster and Keefe Sencen (Keeper of the Lost Cities series)</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If they don't end up together, I think I might scream. They are so perfect for each other. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1 - Magic by Olivia Newton-John</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">2 - Could This be Love by The Wanted</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">3 - Bleeding Love by Leona Lewis</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Elias Veturius and Laia of Serra</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">They have been a recent addition to my list, but they I couldn't not add them. If they don't end up being endgame then I will be so mad in book 4. But they are so perfect for each other and they need each other.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1 - I Don't Want to Love You by Taylor Mathews</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">2 - Burnin' Up by Jonas Brothers</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">3 - Don't Go Breaking My Heart by Backstreet Boys</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Who are your favorite ships?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful day.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello everyone!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I was catching up on some Booktube videos the other day and came across this tag that <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObpaUiiemKc" target="_blank">Books with Emily Fox</a> did and thought I would give it a try. I just want to preface by saying that these are my personal opinions. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Totally didn't need to have a sequel/sequels.</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I loved this book and the sequel was a little disappointing in my opinion. Plus it was way longer than it needed to be. I've only read it once and am planning on reading it again this year before I decide I completely hate it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I hate when authors do the first few books with one POV and then in the third book switch to two or more. It bugs me so much. If you wanted to write more than one POV, start doing it in book 1! I feel like this book would have been so much better with just one POV.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I actually really liked the covers before they did the cover switch for book 3. That's all I have to say about that.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Don't get me wrong, I adore this trilogy, but I just didn't really appreciate the love triangle that happens in this series. I feel like it wasn't really necessary.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This book was so dull in my opinion. All they did was travel and I feel like nothing important happened plot wise. It was just a really pointless sequel to Matched.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Unpopular opinion, but I hated this book. I tried reading book 2, and just didn't see the point in continuing the series. The characters got on my nerves and the plot wasn't all that interesting to me.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello everyone!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have so many books on my TBR that I'm super excited to read, but I can't read them all at once. So to help me prioritize my reading, I wanted to share my 5 star predictions. Hopefully I will be able to get to them all by the end of the year.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So far, both the books I've read by him have been 5 star reads and The Last Song is one of my favorite movies so hopefully this one will also be 5 stars for me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Catwoman: Soulstealer by Sarah J. Maas</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I've loved the previous two books in this series so I'm hoping I like Catwoman's story just as much.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Heartless by Marissa Meyer</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I didn't love the Lunar Chronicles, but I did enjoy Marissa Meyer's writing style. So I'm hoping that Heartless is 5 stars because it sounds like such a good read. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>172 Hours on the Moon by Johan Harstad</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is a sci-fi book that sounds right up my alley. I really want to pick this book up soon because I just know I'll love it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>The Kiss of Deception by Mary E. Pearson</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I've heard so many people talk about this book who have similar book tastes to me so I'm hoping that I'll also love this book.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>The Diviners by Libba Bray</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This book sounds so creepy and like something I'd really enjoy. I've heard very few bad reviews for this book which is promising.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Phantom by Susan Kay</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I love Phantom of the Opera so I don't see why I wouldn't love this book. I loved Roseblood which is a retelling so hopefully Phantom doesn't disappoint.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>The Help by Kathryn Stockett</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have already seen the movie and absolutely loved it. I'm hoping that the book is even better. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Stain by A.G. Howard</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I really enjoy her writing style and this book has such an interesting premise. I'm hoping it doesn't disappoint.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>The Passage by Justin Cronin</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I picked this book up on a whim and found the reviews on Goodreads to be quite promising. I hope I enjoy it just as much as so many other people. It sounds right up my alley and I can't wait to read it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Were any of these books 5 stars for you?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful day.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello everyone!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now that it's summer, I was able to read a few more book than I have been the past few months. A lot of the books I've been reading have been short, so in July I'm hoping to pick up some more novels and not so many poetry collections. I'll still read poetry, but I'll hopefully read more novels. I was able to read 8 books total.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello everyone!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Holly Hearts Books on Booktube created the Medieval-A-Thon and I thought it would be fun to join along. It takes place the month of July. I thought this would be a fun read-a-thon to take part of and she has put so much work into it. You can look for all the details on her <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nB-KWL9Ez04" target="_blank">YouTube video</a> or on <a href="https://twitter.com/medievalathon" target="_blank">Twitter</a>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My aim is to become a princess or queen, so I'd only need to read 5-6 books during the month. I'm going to go ahead and pick a book for all the prompts dealing with armor. I'll probably only pick one or two weapons.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Crown - A book where a character fights for the throne.</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8b8EXbAK76SNL0nljou2Jc-24_-5b4KZ0nEVth4GrDxYOauULt0oXepIoBbYYg2b-9iAX7f4yV6f3sEPHUImGHwecjNYaftac4O42A27GWEFB3r2DXdrL2B0UJOoP_WY61pA_aY55Ruy6/s1600/the+false+prince.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="499" data-original-width="344" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8b8EXbAK76SNL0nljou2Jc-24_-5b4KZ0nEVth4GrDxYOauULt0oXepIoBbYYg2b-9iAX7f4yV6f3sEPHUImGHwecjNYaftac4O42A27GWEFB3r2DXdrL2B0UJOoP_WY61pA_aY55Ruy6/s320/the+false+prince.jpg" width="220" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This will be a reread for me, but there are a few characters who not only battle for the crown but also their lives. I've been meaning to reread this trilogy for awhile so this is the perfect opportunity.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Helmet - A book with a dragon on the cover.</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">There is a dragon on this cover and I believe the story also centers around dragons. I've been wanting to read it, so maybe I'll get to it during this read-a-thon. It is pretty long so we'll see.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Breastplate - A shiny book.</b></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is another reread, but I need to reread Clockwork Angel before I can continue on with the rest of the series because I don't remember this book very well. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Leggings - Read a thick paperback.</b></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm going to go with Eragon again since it's pretty thick.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is another reread from my childhood but I remember close to nothing about this book. The pages are really yellow on my copy so it's perfect for this prompt.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I think you can tell I'm in the mood for some rereads. Recently I've just had this desire to reread the HP series, so why not start with the first book next month.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm currently reading the second book in this series so I'll probably get to this one in July so why not use it for a prompt. There are swords on this cover which is something pointy.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This might be stretching it, but there are house elves in this book. Dobby is therefore an elf so I am counting this book. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So there are 7 books that I listed. I really hope I can get to all of them. Obviously I'm in a really big rereading mood because there's only two books I haven't read before. Are you going to participate in this read-a-thon? If so, what books are you thinking of reading?</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello everyone!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If you haven't already noticed, I really like doing book tags. I have recently become obsessed with The Lord of the Rings. I've grown up watching the movies, but I didn't come to understand/appreciate them until a couple years ago. Ever since, I've been obsessed. So today I wanted to share that love with you all by doing a Fellowship of the Ring book tag created by <a href="https://unputdownablebooks.blog/2018/09/08/the-fellowship-of-the-ring-book-tag-original/" target="_blank">Unputdownable Books</a>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Gandalf - A book that taught you something.</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrmNa2nTfqSgymqq_t2ubUsgmsUUvc7sO95s13euL2IcHrSjZSZmMMIEG8YKKJaP-BGwM15Lyl26caVh7xvSAwqFowvy8E_xHlHxkY_CHtrF4X9roVDs5V0qIl3xL227R2DGfwY2qkUseM/s1600/the+screwtape+letters.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="250" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrmNa2nTfqSgymqq_t2ubUsgmsUUvc7sO95s13euL2IcHrSjZSZmMMIEG8YKKJaP-BGwM15Lyl26caVh7xvSAwqFowvy8E_xHlHxkY_CHtrF4X9roVDs5V0qIl3xL227R2DGfwY2qkUseM/s320/the+screwtape+letters.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This book caused me to learn many things about myself. The Screwtape Letters is one of those thought provoking books that causes you to look within yourself and question how you're going about life. I thoroughly enjoyed it even though I was forced to read it for class.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Women are Some Kind of Magic series I think definitely put a "mark" on me. They were thought provoking poems and caused me to think about other people differently. You never know what someone is going through just by looking at them and these collections of poems helped me realize that.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">It's very rare for me to finish a novel in one sitting, but I usually finish poetry collections in one sitting. This was the collection that helped me realize my love for poetry, so I wanted to mention it.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello everyone!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Ever since I finished this book I've been asking myself why didn't I read this sooner? I was pushing it off because of all the hype. I was worried I wouldn't like it as much as everyone else, but boy did I. I'm so bad at describing this book, but it follows Laia who is trying to save her brother who has been imprisoned for treason. It also follows Elias who is a soldier but just wants freedom. Their paths cross in an unexpected way and they become more important to each other than they could have imagined. Going into this book, I didn't know what to expect. But Sabaa Tahir wrote such a beautiful story.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">First off, the writing is so eloquent. I was hooked from page one and struggled to ever put this book down. It kept me up late at night reading because I had to know what happened next. I even cried and it's been a long time since a book has made me cry. I just got so attached to these characters and I didn't want any more pain to come upon them.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The author was so good at fooling me with her twists. There were a few times I thought so many of the characters were going to die only to have them barely survive. There is also so much betrayal and friendship being tested. This book was just so good!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I did rate this book 5/5 stars. It was that fantastic. I would definitely reread it. I had to pick up the second book as soon as I finished this one. I'm hoping it's just as good. I highly recommend you read this book if you haven't done so already.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day.</span></div>
