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!
Wrap Up | February 2020
Yesterday we talked about the books we bought or received in February and today it’s time to talk about what we read. What did we read? How much did we read? Keep reading our February wrap up to find out!
Buddy Review | Sorcery of Thorns – Margaret Rogerson
Sorcery of Thorns is a book we both got as e-arc from Netgalley before released and just haven’t gotten around to. And not for lack of trying, haha. There are so many books, too little time! But there was a readalong on Instragram last month and we decided to join! So today can finally tell you what we thought about Sorcery of Thorns.
A big thanks to Netgalley and Simon & Schuster for giving us access to an e-arc of this book!

Bookhaul | February 2020
Yet again another month has passed and that means it’s time to wrap up our month. As usual, we’re going to start out with what books we added to our collections this month! Were we good? Or did we end up adding too much to our shelves once again? Find out in our February bookhaul!
Review | The Other Side – Sarah Hocut
I have started to make my way through my eARC backlist haha. One of the first books I read was The Other Side. I was hoping for a cute and fluffy summer romance. The book is less than 300 pages so it’s a pretty quick read. Let’s see if I got what I was hoping for. Continue reading “Review | The Other Side – Sarah Hocut”
Review| Brix – Brooke O’Brien
Today is release day for Brix by Brooke O’Brien. She isn’t a new to me author and I was really excited for this release. Last year I read Where I Found You, Until I Found You and Now That I Found You and I fell in love with her characters and stories. Her Tattered Heart duet is also amazing (my review will be up soon), so I was all ready for Brix.
I had the honor of being a beta readers for this book and when I read it a second time to write this review, I may have even loved it more than the first time. As you can tell, I’m excited about this book. Keep on reading for my full review!
Bookish Item | Netgalley Backlist Part 4
When I was looking through previous posts to find some inspiration for my next bookish item, I stumbled upon my Netgalley Backlist Part 3. I wrote that at the end of October when my feedback ratio was 62%. It’s been four months and my ratio decreased (oops!), haha. I’m now at 56% and really need to increase this.
Out of the 141 books I’ve been approved for, I’ve written reviews for 80 of these books. That means I still have 61 books to go! Today I’ll talk about six more books on my backlist to motivate myself to get to read them. Let’s take a look at my Netgalley Backlist Part 4!
Bookish Item | Top 30 YA Books of the Decade: Did I Read Them?
Last week Candyce looked at the top 100 romance books to see how many she read. And I thought that was a great idea! Of course I don’t read that much romance so I decided to look at a different list. And in December, Buzzfeed posted a list of the 30 best YA books of the decade. It’s been about a decade that I’m reading YA books so I thought it would be the perfect list for me to take a look at. How many of these top YA books did I read? Let’s get in to it! Continue reading “Bookish Item | Top 30 YA Books of the Decade: Did I Read Them?”
Wishlist Wednesday | Anticipated Releases March 2020
We’re becoming a broken record, but another month has just gone by way too fast! How are we already looking at March releases? March tends to be a pretty big release month, so let’s take a look at our anticipated releases for March 2020!

Review Blast| Great and Precious Things – Rebecca Yarros
So far I’ve loved every book Rebecca Yarros has written! I don’t think I have to tell you that I was really excited when she announced her next book, Great and Precious Things. Part of me was scared though, because The Last Letter was ugly cry material. Today is release day and I want to tell you what I thought of this new book.
A big thanks to Netgalley, the publisher, Wildfire Marketing Solutions and the author for providing me with an ARC to read and review!
