TBR Check-In: Spring

It's been a busy Spring. I love it when everything turns green, the sun is out, and the weather warms up.

This week, I shared my summer TBR list, so it's time to check in and see how I did reading my Spring list.

Here's what I've read:

Review: She Knows All the Names

 

* Book 2 in the Throne of Khetara trilogy *

Book 2 continues where the first book leaves of. The Princess, the rebel, the thief, and the priestess continue their quests. They all don't know about each other, but as the danger moves towards them all, they begin to suspect there's more to the plan. They have a higher purpose...if they don't die first.

My Thoughts: I loved this sequel. I don't want to say too much because of spoilers, but I love how everything came together. There were lots of moments of danger, secrets and betrayals, and action. There were moments of friendships and alliances. And snakes. There were snakes. I am eagerly awaiting the next book!

ARC from PLA

This has been on my radar for a while as I'm a huge Jane Austen fan. Loved this book. It was funny, charming, and I loved the found family moments. If you're a Mr. Darcy or Jane Austen fan, don't miss out! 

On Your Radar: Change of Plans

 

It's been EONS since I've done one of these.

Date Published: May 5, 20206

Why It Should be On Your Radar:

It's been 7 years since the last Sarah Dessen novel and it was everything I wanted it to be!

Verdict: 5 stars. Don't sleep on this one. And if you haven't read her before, go back and read her. Start with The Truth about Forever (it's my favorite)
