Hello everyone! I’m so sorry about my absence from blogging/interacting with your posts! I went on a road trip last week and I had zero time to even open my laptop! π³
It was definitely a long one, 14 hours of driving does not sound fun, but I did manage to power through some audiobooks! I haven’t been listening to audiobooks nearly as much as I used to, so it was nice to catch up on some!
I still wanted to share with you guys the books I’m planning to read throughout the rest of August, so without further ado…
WAKING GODS by Sylvain Neuvel
I’m finally continuing on with this series! I honestly have no clue what took me so long to actually consider reading the sequel, but I’m finally doing it! It’s one of the books IΒ listened to during the drive and I’m sure I’ll be able to finish it! This book is the sequel to Sleeping Giants, a science-fiction novel in which a group of scientists try to piece together the mystery and origin of a giant metal hand.
THE HEART FORGER BY RIN CHUPECO
I’ve been pretty excited to pick this one up, especially because of all the rave reviews I hear about this sequel in particular! While the first book, The Bone Witch wasn’t my favorite, I’m still invested enough in the story to want to know what happens next!
THUNDERHEAD by Neal Shusterman
Is August the month of sequels for me? Not complaining! There’s so many series that I need to catch up on/finish before school takes over my life again! I really enjoyed the first novel of this dystopian series, Scythe, and I can’t wait to jump into the sequel! The story is so unique and I’m excited to see what will go down in this book!
CRAZY RICH ASIANS BY KEVIN KWAN
With the movie coming out very soon (August 15th to be exact!) I decided that I really wanted to read the book first before I go to watch the movie. The book just has such a fun vibe to it that I’m almost positive I’ll love it!
THE RAVEN BOYS BY MAGGIE STIEFVATER
This one is a big if. I constantly see this book around and I really want to jump onto the bandwagon! I just don’t know if I’ll have enough time to read it this month, but it’s definitely something that’s top priority now! I’ve seen a bunch of reviews on what to be cautious of and what mindset to have going into the book, and I’m ready to give it another chance!
So these are all the books I’m planning to read this month…obviously I posted it pretty late π but I still wanted to get it out there! I promise I’ll be back to posting regularly now!
Thanks for reading!

I feel the same way about the Raven Boys, I guess I’ll just have to read it but there are so many others that I really want to read more than that one haha

Yeah! I always hear that you have to have a certain mindset, and that the synopsis makes it seem like a complete romance book, but it actually isn’t. IDK hopefully I’ll get through it this time around!

Although I’m not sure if I will read this book, I really want to watch the movie Crazy Rich Asians! It sounds like an interesting movie. I hope you have a good month of reading ahead! π

I’ve been meaning to reread the raven boys. I read it two years ago and never continued on with the series and honestly I can’t remember anything about it but I’m excited anyway

Ooh, road trip sounds fun! Or well, maybe the lack of internet and 14 hours is a bit exhausting, but at least you got your audiobooks in. π And I love all your picks for your TBR! Sleeping Giants is on my radar, as is Heart Forger, which I’d similarly heard is a fantastic sequel. And haha, I hope your (potential) dive into Raven Boys goes well! I’m glad you know of its pitfalls, because many people go in with wrong expectations (and hype) and come out disappointed. The characters are amazing, so go for it! β€

Sleeping Giants is on my TBR! The Heart Forger was so so amazing! I quite enjoyed Thunderhead and Crazy Rich Asians is a new addition to my TBR!
