Monthly Wrap-Up: February 2018

 February 2018
Wrap-Up

Hey everyone! Hope you all had a good February. I didn't have the greatest reading month. I read a few really good books but I also had two 1 star books and I couldn't even finish two books as well, like Glass Sword. I officially gave up on that series. As always I really enjoyed my re-read of the next Artemis Fowl book. This time it was the second book, The Arctic Incident. I also finally managed to finish off all the books by Pepper Winters I still had to read. Final Debt was my favorite and the second (and last) 5 star read of February. I read four books by her in total in Feburary and now she is my most read female author with the same amount of books read as Eoin Colfer. I can't even believe it myself. And other than that I also really enjoyed the short in60Learning books that I received for review. Feel free to check out those reviews. ♥

 Favorite book of the month:

Final Debt by Pepper Winters
Dark Romance

The Last Book in the New York TImes Bestselling Dark Romance Series. Where love tries to triumph and darkness continues to reign....

“I’m in love with her, but it might not be enough to stop her from becoming the latest victim of the Debt Inheritance. I know who I am now. I know what I must do. We will be together—I just hope it’s on Earth rather than in heaven.”

It all comes down to this.

Love versus life.

Debts versus death.

Who will win?

Monthly Wrap-Up ► August 2017

Wrap-Up

I haven't done a monthly wrap-up since March... yikes! I guess I forgot most months and kinda lost track of it. But August seemed like a good month to start doing these wrap ups again. Hopefully I can keep it up in the next months also. 

I liked all the books I read this month so no complaints there. Most of these books I read on my vacation. And I actually have two favorites this month. A Song of War: A Novel of Troy, an anthology written by several historical fiction authors and Eagles in the Storm by Ben Kane, about Arminius and the Roman army. Both excellent reads!

Sadly enough I really disliked The Devil You Know. I just thought it was bad. But my favorite books this month were Beach Wedding and Song of Princes. <3

Favorite book of the month:

Sing Muse. Sing of the shining citadel of Troy rising from the hot sands of Asia. Sing of the Greek palaces ascending from their rocky hilltops. Sing of one woman’s dream heralding the madness of men and the murder of innocents. From bull dancing rings and wild meadows, the Forgotten Prince must choose between love and a golden crown. From seclusion and safety, the Golden Warrior must choose between his honor and his life. From behind the Great Wall, the Golden Prince must choose between his family and his city. And from a rugged realm on the far side of Greece, the Warrior King must choose between his son’s life and certain exile. Here shepherds and princes, warriors and kings, and seers and lovers seek to conquer their passions, outwit destiny or surrender to it.

PARIS, the FORGOTTEN PRINCE. Abandoned at birth and raised as a shepherd, Paris believes he is destined for a simple life. His heart belongs to the nymph, Oenone, until the beautiful Helen forces him to choose.

ACHILLES, the GOLDEN WARRIOR. Destined to live a short life, Achilles becomes the young lover of a princess who he abandons for the passions of war. He discovers that love is his only weakness.

HEKTOR, the GOLDEN PRINCE. As guardian of the citadel, Hektor must balance his heart’s desire between the beautiful Andromache and the people he’s sworn to protect.

ODYSSEUS, the WARRIOR KING. Forced into a war against his will, Odysseus leaves his young wife, Penelope, behind. Their love must stand the test of time and temptation.

The HOMERIC CHRONICLES tell the stories of Paris, Achilles, Hektor, and Odysseus in one chronological tale, beginning before the ILIAD and ending long after the ODYSSEY. Blending both history and myth, this series will satisfy your love of Greek mythology, while paying homage to the original storyteller, Homer.

HOMERIC CHRONICLES is an epic mythological trilogy about the Trojan War meant for grown-ups who like to mix a little warfare with their romance
