Hey guys!

I’m so sorry that I haven’t been posting a lot lately. I had coursework to do ,which was a pain. Now, I will have to study for exams which means I won’t be able to post much either. Hopefully, I can get back to commenting on posts from my reader,even if I can’t post.

So as the title says I’m going to be sharing with you what I read in the month of March. I managed to read 5 books,which I’m surprised by because of all the Uni work. I think it’s because of the audiobooks.

So here are the books I read :

Beneath the Sugar Sky and In an Absent Dream by Seanan Mcguire

Beneath the Sugar Sky (Wayward Children, #3)

In an Absent Dream (Wayward Children, #4)

SYNOPSIS FOR EVERY HEART A DOORWAY

Eleanor West’s Home for Wayward Children
No Solicitations
No Visitors
No Quests

Children have always disappeared under the right conditions; slipping through the shadows under a bed or at the back of a wardrobe, tumbling down rabbit holes and into old wells, and emerging somewhere… else.

But magical lands have little need for used-up miracle children.

Nancy tumbled once, but now she’s back. The things she’s experienced… they change a person. The children under Miss West’s care understand all too well. And each of them is seeking a way back to their own fantasy world.

But Nancy’s arrival marks a change at the Home. There’s a darkness just around each corner, and when tragedy strikes, it’s up to Nancy and her new-found schoolmates to get to the heart of the matter.

No matter the cost.

I really enjoyed these books like all the others in the series. I think I’ll do a series review of the books that are already out. I listened to these on audiobook like the first two and they were a quick read.

4/5

Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan

Crazy Rich Asians (Crazy Rich Asians, #1)

When Rachel Chu agrees to spend the summer in Singapore with her boyfriend, Nicholas Young, she envisions a humble family home, long drives to explore the island, and quality time with the man she might one day marry. What she doesn’t know is that Nick’s family home happens to look like a palace, that she’ll ride in more private planes than cars, and that with one of Asia’s most eligible bachelors on her arm, Rachel might as well have a target on her back. Initiated into a world of dynastic splendor beyond imagination, Rachel meets Astrid, the It Girl of Singapore society; Eddie, whose family practically lives in the pages of the Hong Kong socialite magazines; and Eleanor, Nick’s formidable mother, a woman who has very strong feelings about who her son should–and should not–marry. Uproarious, addictive, and filled with jaw-dropping opulence, Crazy Rich Asians is an insider’s look at the Asian JetSet; a perfect depiction of the clash between old money and new money; between Overseas Chinese and Mainland Chinese; and a fabulous novel about what it means to be young, in love, and gloriously, crazily rich.

I enjoyed this book although there were some things I didn’t like. It was also very confusing at the start which made it hard to get stuck into.

3.5/5

The Fever King by Victoria Lee

The Fever King (Feverwake, #1)

In the former United States, sixteen-year-old Noam Álvaro wakes up in a hospital bed, the sole survivor of the viral magic that killed his family and made him a technopath. His ability to control technology attracts the attention of the minister of defense and thrusts him into the magical elite of the nation of Carolinia.

The son of undocumented immigrants, Noam has spent his life fighting for the rights of refugees fleeing magical outbreaks—refugees Carolinia routinely deports with vicious efficiency. Sensing a way to make change, Noam accepts the minister’s offer to teach him the science behind his magic, secretly planning to use it against the government. But then he meets the minister’s son—cruel, dangerous, and achingly beautiful—and the way forward becomes less clear.

Caught between his purpose and his heart, Noam must decide who he can trust and how far he’s willing to go in pursuit of the greater good.

I was a part of the blog tour for this.I really liked this book. It was a different take on magic and very interesting. I have a full review here if you want to check it out.

Otherworlds

Otherworld

Welcome to real life 2.0. Are you ready to play?

There are no screens. There are no controls. You don’t just see and hear it – you taste, smell, and touch it too. In this new reality there are no rules to follow, no laws to break. You can live your best life.

It’s a game so addictive you’ll never want it to end. Until you realize that you’re the one being played.

Step into Otherworld. Leave your body behind.

The frightening future that Jason Segel and Kirsten Miller have imagined is not far away. Otherworld asks the question we’ll all soon be asking: if technology can deliver everything we want, how much are we willing to pay?

I won this book from a twitter giveaway forever ago and finally got to it.This book reminded me so much of Ready Player One but I’m surprised to say that I actually liked this better. I found Ready Player One to have a lot of references to 80s culture,which made it hard to get through, In contrast,this was very easy to get through,and I found myself wanting to go back to it when I put it down.

3.5-4/5

I didn’t read all the books I picked from the TBR jar,but there’s always this month! I’m still happy with what I read considering Uni.
