Happy Monday everyone! I hope you guys had a good weekend and that your new week has been off to a good start! I do think this past week (reading wise) has been better than the first week of the month. Here’s my reading!
Currently Reading/Listening
I got approved for Last of Her Name on Edelweiss last week and it was a nice surprise! Even though it’s already published, I’m about 23% in as of this morning and so far it’s good. This is a sci-fi retelling of Anastasia! So far, there’s been some good action and it feels a little Star Wars-esque. While I’m not in love with it, I still have plenty to go. I’m also NEARLY done with the audio book of The Glass Sentence! I think my audio book slump is starting to improve. I’ll have this audio done this week.
Reading/Listening to Next
After I finish Last of Her Name, it’ll be time for another ARC approval which is the upcoming Romanov! Since I’ll be reading two Anastasia retellings back to back, it’ll be fun to see how that experience goes. Romanov is a historical fantasy instead of a sci-fi retelling and I’ve seen good reviews. Then I really hope to get to Echo North before its due back to the library. (Wish me luck!) Then, for the audio books, my library has another app like Overdrive that has a decent audio book selection and I got The Sacred Lies of Minnow Bly. I’ve heard this a dark but awesome story about a girl who escapes a cult. Fingers crossed for all of these!
What did you recently finish? What are you currently reading? Let me know in the comments!
I’ve been seeing a lot of buzz about Romanov and it has a killer cover. Can’t wait to see what you think of it. I got declined for an ARC, dang it!

Dang it 😦 I do hope it is good, since I haven’t read her other book.

I’m currently listening to queen of air and darkness, and I’m reading Royal assassin!

Romanov! I was declined for that one. I’m working on Storm and Fury by Jennifer L. Armentrout, which I’m loving.

How are you enjoying Last of Her Name? and I can’t WAIT to see what you think of Romanov. Kinda worried that going from one Anastasia retelling to another might snatch the shine from Romanov but I know the two are totally different. I mean … space. Hist fict.

So far it’s fun and that’s about it for the 19% I have read. I hope to read some more today and maybe I’ll have more thoughts on it 🙂 I am wondering how reading two retellings of the same story will be next to each other. It’ll be a first lol

Reading two re-tellings back-to-back does give you the opportunity for discussion posts like “how do you compare retellings” or something. I’d love your take on it. (Especially since there are so many coming out!)
Oooh, I’m excited that you like so far!!

There have been several Anastasia retellings lately and although I was never really into them, I now have the urge to read them all! And how are you liking The Glass Sentence? That one has been on my TBR since forever and I still haven’t gotten to it yet. Should I bump it up on my TBR?

Yeah I do recommend it. The whole map making stuff, the world and the mystery is very different from what I’ve read. While it is a bit too long, I would give it a go 🙂

What are your thoughts on the Glass Sentence? I’ve had that one sitting on my shelf for years, but haven’t gotten around to it. lol!

I think the world building is so original and has a cool mystery which had me interested. It is longer than it should be and the characters were a tiny bit bland but I still recommend it 🙂
