Night of the Dragon: ARC Review/Blog Tour

A perfect ending to a wonderful trilogy. Kagawa consistently proves herself to be a fantastic writer with a dramatic flair all her own. Nothing compares to the Shadow of the Fox trilogy, and I doubt anything ever will.
Rating: 5 Stars

What was your favorite read of the month? So I read 13 books this month and I think my favorite was Night of the Dragon by Julie Kagawa (which also came out today and y'all need to go buy it!). Honorable mentions would also be Lobizona by Romina Garber, The Pioneer by Bridget Tyler, and Light at the Bottom of the Ocean by London Shah. With how this month has gone, I'm surprised I read as much as I did. And I've got to say, my decision to read mostly science fiction was poorly timed. Half of my reads had virus/plague subplots *facepalm forever* ↡ ↡ ↡ #bookreadhappyhour | ...and I feel fine | #wrapup #thefellowshipofthereader | Here at the end of all things | Wrap Up #bookishcoven | All we are is dust in the wind, dude | Wrap Up #booksofmar20 | Favorite book of the month #allthebooksmarch20 | March Wrap Up #gothandliterature | Wrap Up #wildadventuresMar20 | March Wrap Up ↡ ↡ ↡ ↡↡Tags #allthebooks #bookstagram #bookphotography #bookrecommendation #bookish #bookishflatlay #prettybooks #cozy #homedecor #bookaesthetic #bibliophile #books #reader #bookstagrammer #bookcommunity #cozyvibes #booktography #bookaddict #bookdragon #bookstack #BooksConnectUs #bookstacks

How do you treat yourself when you finish a project? Today I am reorganizing my bookshelves (I know, I just did this...) and since that's basically a day long workout, I'll be treating myself to some cookies and the upcoming DC YA graphic novel, Gotham High! Check out the link in my bio for the trailer for novel! I am hugely thankful to DC for sending me this free graphic novel! I'm trying to read more graphic novels this year and after seeing the line up DC is putting out through the year I know I won't be short on options. You can check out the full slate of graphic novels through the link in my bio! New young adult graphic novel by New York Times Bestselling Author Melissa de la Cruz and Artist Thomas Pitilli hits stores everywhere books are sold April 7! ↡ ↡ ↡ #letsgetlitbabes | Anticipated Reads ↡ ↡ ↡ ↡↡Tags #allthebooks #bookstagram #bookphotography #bookrecommendation #bookish #bookishflatlay #prettybooks #cozy #homedecor #bookaesthetic #bibliophile #books #reader #bookstagrammer #bookcommunity #cozyvibes #booktography #bookaddict #bookdragon #readersofinstagram #BooksConnectUs #DCPartner #melissadelacuz #ThomasPitilli

Book Review Unearthed and Undying by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner Rating: 3 and 2 stars, respectively Full version of these reviews can be found at somethingofthebook.com Unearthed - On the surface, Unearthed has it all: a scrappy scavenger girl with a secret, a nerdy scholar boy WITH A SECRET, and archeology...IN SPACE! It should have sent me all a flutter as I dove into it’s pages (metaphorically, cause I read it via audiobook), but even through the adventure and wickedly cool premise I couldn’t help feeling completely disconnected from the story. Due to the dual POVs, a lot of information was given to us twice, which made it more difficult to follow because I kept thinking my audiobook app was glitching. The characters were just fine, but I wasn't particularly enamored any of them. The planet of Gaia is really interesting and I love the adventure of the story, but overall it was hard to get into this one. Undying - Oh wow, was this just not the right time to be reading this book. Between a virus subplot and my complete lack of focus due to the emerging pandemic, I could not hold any threads of this story. Now, some of that is me, but some of it lands on the story too. I didn't feel any growth from the characters and I just didn't care for the romance. And since the story is based on Earth this time, the intriguing world building from Unearthed is gone. The sad thing about the Undying was it was pretty forgettable for me. I honestly couldn’t tell you how it ended. But the fact of the matter is, if you finish Unearthed, there is a good chance you’ll want to pick up Undying. And I certainly hope it works better for you than it did for me. ↡ ↡ ↡ ↡ ↡ ↡ ↡↡Tags #bookreview #bookreviewer #bookblog #bookblogger #bookrecommendation #bookrecs #booklove #bookaddict #bookworm #bookcollection #booktography #bookphotography #booklover #books #bookaesthetic #booksbooksbooks #aesthetic #bookstagram #instareads #intsabooks #vsco #vscoreads #igreads #prettybooks #unearthed #undying #amiekaufman #meaganspooner #yalit #yafiction

Yep, my bitch ass is undoing the rainbow! ↡ ↡ ↡ #bookreadhappyhour | It's the end of the world as we know it... | Okay, now I'm gonna have that song stuck in my head. #tumblesoverbooks | Relatable Characters #booksofmar20 | March haul #allthebooksmarch20 | March book Haul #gothandliterature | Opposites Attract #wildadventuresMar20 | March #bookhaul ↡ ↡ ↡ ↡↡Tags #bookstagram #bookaesthetic #bookaddict #booklove #booktography #bookphotography #vscobook #booksofinstagram #cozyvibes #bookspine #igreads #instareads #bookgram #bookdragon #booknerd #bookcollection #shelfie #bookshelf #bookshelves #books #homedecor #shelfiesunday #BooksConnectUs
