Bookish Wanderess: January 2016 Wrap Up

I always have a hard time with books that have essays and short stories, because I like some of them, but I never like all of them. That was the case with this book, I only liked half of the essays and stories. Nonetheless, while I was reading this book and after I finished it, I felt this incredible desire and inspiration to write more, and I feel that just because of that, reading this book was a great experience. (Full Review)

I read this as part of the Flights of Fantasy book club. I liked the main character and I really liked the fact that there were dragons in this story, I had never read a book with dragons. There were a few things in the second part of the book that I would change, plotwise, but overall it was a good book.

Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard (3,7 Stars)

I read this as part of a buddy read for the RockMyTBR. This book lacked originality both in characters and plot, but it was really entertaining and the writing was really good.

I read the first 3 books of the series: Darkfever, Bloodfever, and Faefever. I'm really liking the series so far. My favorite part was the slow-burn romance, the setting of the book: Irland, and all the mitology involved. (I talk more about the series here)

I loved the characters, the writing, the world, the magic system, the action... basically everything. I wish there was a little more explanation about how the world and magic system worked, at the beggining of the book. But everything else was amazing!

I though this books was cute and entertaining. The main characters was well developed and the writing went well with the book. I liked the relationship between the main characters, even if the transition into a romances could have been done better. (Full Review)

The three reviews that are missing will be posted soon!

3 Books I Couldn't Finish I talk about the 3 books I couldn't finish that I remember the most: the third book in a popular series (a lot of people agree with me on this one), a book by an author everyone loves (including me!), and a 2015 release (that most people loved)

Good Books / Bad Covers #1 it's a new feature/weekly meme here at Bookish Wanderess. The idea behind it is to say "Hey, I know this book has a really bad cover, but the book itself is really good. You should read it!" In the first post, I talk about Richelle mead's books.

Disappointing Books I talk about books that, at one point in my life, I had huge expectations for and that I ended up not enjoying as much as I thought I would.

Good Books/ Bad Covers #2 I talk about the Fever series by Karen Marie Moning.
