Synopsis:

Mia Rose is back from the dead. Her memories are hazy, her body numb—but she won’t stop searching. Her only hope to save the boy she loves and the sister who destroyed her is to find the mother she can never forgive. Pilar is on a hunt of her own. Betrayed by her mother , and plagued by a painful secret, she's determined to seek out the only person who can exact revenge. All goes according to plan until she collides with Prince Quin, the boy whose sister she killed.

As Mia, Pilar, and Quin forge dangerous new alliances, they are bewitched by the snow kingdom’s promise of freedom and opportunity. But with the Winter Solstice drawing near, they must confront the truth beneath the glimmering ice, as lines between friend, foe and lover vanish like snowflakes on a flame.

Without further ado onto my TBR...

End of the Year Tag 2019

I saw this on BooksandLaLa's YouTube channel and wanted to answer the questions!

So let's get to the questions!

Are there any books you started this year that you need to finish?

Once I DNF a book I don't tend to go back and try again to be honest. So in that way no. The book I am currently reading is The Toll and I plan on finishing that in the next week.

Do you have an autumnal book to transition into the end of the year?

I have a few books in the next few weeks which have a more wintery feel to them but I think its more coincidence than planned.

Is there a new release you're still waiting for?

Yes! I have four I am highly anticipating. They are:

What are the three books you want to read before the end of the year?

Honestly it's probably those above (I know there are 4 but what can I say?)

Is there a book you think could still shock you and become your favourite book of the year?

I think there are a few that could still make my top list but I think my top 5 would be hard to knock off.

Have you already started making reading plans for 2020?

Oh yes. I love a good spreadsheet and already have one set up for 2020 releases I want to get and read :)

Synopsis:

Magic rules the city of Creije Capital and Tavia Syn knows just how many tricks she needs up her sleeve to survive. Selling dark magic on the streets for her kingpin, she keeps clear of other crooks, counting the days until her debt is paid and she can flee her criminal life.

But then, one day, with her freedom in sight, Tavia uncovers a sinister plot that threatens to destroy the realm she calls home. Desperate to put an end to her kingpin's plan, Tavia forms an unlikely alliance with three crooks even more deadly than her:

Wesley, the kingpin's prodigy and most renewed criminal in the realm

And Saxony, a Crafter in hiding who will stop at nothing to avenge her family

With the reluctant saviours assembled, they embark on a quest to put an end to the dark magic before it's too late. But even if they can take down the kingpin and save the realm, the one thing they can't do is trust each other.

September Wrap Up

In September 2019 I managed to read a total of 8 books.

It wasn't the best reading month for me at all and the first time I have been in single digits this year, but I had a lot happening so hopefully October will be better.
