We thought it was time for a fun new post every week. In the Royal Update one of us updates you about our personal life, bookish news, what we’re reading, watching and listening to and anything else that might apply to this post. We thought it would be fun to share a bit more about our personal lives and hope you think so too!

Down the TBR Hole #33
Seeing how I keep adding new books to my Goodreads TBR, I decided to did this just a little more often than I have before. It’s only been two weeks since I did my last post, but with the number of books still on that list, it’s never too soon to do this again. I’m trying to make this a regular post!
Down the TBR Hole was originally created over at Lost in a Story. It looked like a fun and productive way to finally make a dent in that Goodreads TBR. I went through my want-to-read shelf a little while ago but I think I was still to kind on a lot of books. Let’s see what I’ll make of it this time around. I decided to go with 10 books at a time so lets get started! Continue reading “Down the TBR Hole #33”
Review| Betting on Sin – Maria Ann Green
I’m always up to trying new to me to authors. Not too long ago, a few authors I like were promoting Maria Ann Green’s upcoming book Betting on Sin. The story sounded something I’d love, so I just had to sign up to review. Betting on Sin released yesterday and today I want to talk about this book.
A big thanks to the author for providing me with an ARC to read and review!
Review | Rage & Ruin – Jennifer L. Armentrout
Not too long ago, I posted my review for Storm and Fury. I really enjoyed that book and was really happy that the release of the sequel was right around the corner. Rage and Ruin was released at the beginning of July and a friend and I did a buddyread right away. Let’s say it was another wild ride. Keep on reading for my full review of this book!

I truly plan on reading them all soon haha. Let’s dive in! Continue reading “Bookish Item | Completed Series On My Shelf I Still Need to Start Part 2”
Tag | Mid Year Freak Out Tag 2020
Like we already mentioned in our most anticipated releases of July, 2020 is flying by. Half of the year is just about over, so I thought I’d do the Mid Year Freak Out Tag. Last Year Isabelle did this one and we both did it the year before. Even though a lot is going on in the world this year, I have had an amazing reading year so far. As I’m typing this I’ve read 136 books out of the 200 I have set for my Goodreads goal. So let’s talk about some of those books in this tag!
Blog Tour| The Oddmire Book 2: The Unready Queen – William Ritter
Last week I posted my review of Changeling and couldn’t wait to read the sequel. The Unready Queen released yesterday and it was another magical adventure. Today for my stop on the blog tour, I want to tell you what I thought of this book.
A big thank you to Algonquin Young Readers for providing me an e-arc on Netgalley to read and review!

Wishlist Wednesday | Anticipated Releases July 2020
How are we talking about July releases already?!? Even though a lot is going on in the world, it’s still flying by!

We did our research, but a lot of books have been delayed, so we hope we got them all right! Keep on reading for our anticipated July 2020 releases!

TTT #138 | Books On My 2020 Summer TBR Part 2
We have been having fun with Top Ten Tuesday, so we decided we will do one every week. This bookish meme was hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, and has been going since June 2010! Since January 2018 Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.
This week’s topic is a bit of a freebie one because TTT turns 10! Can you believe this bookish meme has been around for 10 years? I decided to go with a part 2 of Candyce’s TTT from last week. So we’re going to look at my 2020 Summer TBR. Let’s dive in! Continue reading “TTT #138 | Books On My 2020 Summer TBR Part 2”
Review| Spin the Dawn – Elizabeth Lim
When I read that Spin the Dawn was being pitched as Mulan meets Project Runway, I have to say that got my attention. This book came out almost a year ago, but I just haven’t had the chance to read it yet. Last month I picked it up at the bookstore to read for a group read this month. I’m so happy I finally picked this up, because Spin the Dawn was so good. Keep on reading for my full review!
