[Wrap-Up] 2015 in Books: a Summary

Hello, friends!

I haven't really been posting - I'm a terrible person, there's nothing more I can really add.

So 2015 ended up being an okay reading year. It wasn't overwhelmingly good, but it wasn't bad either. I read a lot of books - well, at least to me it was a lot -, but there were a lot of books I read that I did not enjoy. I will soon be posting my favourite and least favourite books of 2015 and also my reading/bookish challenges and goals for 2016.

As for what I read in 2015, here are some numbers:

85 books read.

                          25602 pages read.

                                                             Average book length: 305 pages.

40 new-to-me authors.

                                       32 of which were females.

24 new series started.

                                     5 series finished.

I'm pretty happy with my reading year overall. It was really surprising to see that I tend to reach for female authors. I'd never noticed that before.

Anyway, keep an eye out for my 2016 reading goals - it'll be posted soon.

[Wrap-Up] July + August!

Hello friends!

I hope you had a lovely summer.

Welcome to the post where I grovel at your feet, apologising for taking so long in posting something. Anything.

It has not been easy these past couple of months - I'm afraid I've been suffering from summer laziness. You know, uni ended, I had tons of free time for the first time in months, and all I wanted to do was sleep. I didn't even read much, unfortunately.

Wow, this all sounds so lame.

Anyway, I'm not going to make excuses, as we can all see I suck at them.

I'm really sorry I've been gone this long, and I hope it won't happen again.

As I've said already, these past two months I've been mostly sleeping. And eating. And then sleeping again. And sometimes, in between, I managed to squeeze in a bit of reading time. Not as much as I wished to, and certainly not as much as my TBR pile needed me to. I can tell you, however, that uni is starting back up again, and my reading is picking up again too. I'm pathetic, I know. Who the heck waits till life starts getting incredibly busy again to get a move on their biggest time consuming hobby?

Anyway, here are the books I read during July and August:

1. A court of thorns and roses, Sarah J. Maas
2. Alienated, Melissa Landers
3. Night of cake & puppets, Laini Taylor
4. Wedding night, Sophie Kinsella
5. The heir, Kiera Cass
6. Cinder, Marissa Meyer
7. Go the f**k to sleep, Adam Mansbach
8. Deathnote Vol.1, Tsugumi Ohba & Takeshi Obata
9. Scarlet, Marissa Meyer
10. Glitches, Marissa Meyer
11. The queen's army, Marissa Meyer

There were some surprises amongst these books, and some disappointments too. I'll be posting reviews during September, so watch out for that.

Which books did you read during these months? Do you have any recommendations for me to read in September?

Let me know :)
