my short reading update

I have once again neglected my blog. I keep meaning to make consistent posts about my writing and reading progress but I never get around to actually doing it. So, let's see, in terms of reading, I have read several series:

"The Last Kingdom" by Bernard Cornwell - LOVED IT! I started with watching the show, which I fell in love with, and then I devoured twelve books in a row, both as ebooks and as audibooks. I haven't read the last book yet, simply because it's hard for me to say good-bye to this series, but I'll get there eventually.

"The Last Hours" by Cassandra Clare - not too bad at all. I actually liked it much better than I expected, considering that I had trouble getting into it, but the third book is so very long and convoluted that I'm struggling to even start reading it. Or, maybe, once again, I don't want to start because it's the last book in the series...

"A Court of Thorns and Roses" by Sarah J. Maas - SO VERY BAD. Dear God, I can't believe just how many people love this series. It makes me wonder why I even bother writing anything at all if that's what readers need. I read only the first book and that was torture enough. I kept wondering if it was some sick publishing joke. I'm team Tamlin, by the way. Feyre and Rhysand can burn in hell.

"All For The Game" by Nora Sakavic - LOVED IT! LOVED IT! LOVED IT! Really, what's more there to say? I love exy! I love Foxes! Go Foxes! I love their messed-up relationships as a team and as a family. I like that they are complicated and problematic. I love how they finally became the team that went on to win the championship.

OMG! I can't believe that it took me ages to get through "All For The Game" trilogy. I downloaded the first book some years ago but never read it. But I listened to the audiobooks now and I loved these books so very much! So I listened again - and again - and again. Probably my new favourite series. I just can't get enough of it and I hear that there's a new book coming soon...
