This week’s topic is completed series I wish had more books. I’m really bad at actually finishing series, so I decided to take a look at next week’s topic which is a school freebie. So I’m going to talk about ten books that take place at a boarding school that are on my TBR. That’s one of my favorite settings, so let’s take a look!

Review| Villainous – Art Sapphire

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

Lately I’ve been reading a lot of books outside of my comfort zone and when I saw the sign ups for Villainous I have to say I was curious. Villainous is definitely a lot darker than anything I’ve read, so please be aware of the triggers. The author lists them at the beginning of the book and on her website. Keep on reading to find out more about this book and my thoughts.

A big thanks to the authors and Peachy Keen for providing me with an e-arc to read and review.

It’s Wednesday, so time for a new WWW Wednesday to talk about my reading progress and plans. I really love these posts and talking more about what I’m reading before the monthly wrap up. Even if my reading plans change I like thinking about what I’m going to read!

  • What did you recently finish reading?
  • What are you currently reading?
  • What do you think you’ll read next?
