Past Month’s Reading:
I felt rather slumpy this month, though seven titles, only two of which were audio, is not a bad effort for a month. Particularly considering I have been quite busy and reading time was hard to come by. I’m also a bit behind on my reviews! August seemed to drag on, there were times when I wasn’t well, and on top of that, I also had uni work and job applications pop up and take up a lot of time.
- Station Eleven by Emily St John Mandel (dystopia – 4 stars – review) (read July, reviewed August)
- Loch of the Dead by Oscar de Muriel (historical mystery – 3 stars – review)
- Legion by Brandon Sanderson (science fiction – 4 stars – review)
- Sleeping Giants by Sylvain Neuvel (science fiction – 4 stars – review forthcoming)
- Blackwing by Ed McDonald (fantasy – 3 stars – review forthcoming)
- All the Little Bones by Ellie Marney (contemporary/crime/romance – 5 stars – review)
- Waking Gods by Sylvain Neuvel (science fiction – 3 stars – review forthcoming)
- Legion: Skin Deep by Brandon Sanderson (science fiction – 3 stars – not planning to review)
Currently reading:
Physical book: As I just finished Skin Deep literally last night, I am currently not in the middle of anything.
Ebook: Ditto.
Audio book: I have just started Only Human by Sylvain Neuvel, the third and final book in the Themis Files. I have really enjoyed the first two so I hope this last instalment lives up to them.
Planning to read next:
Someone in a Facebook group I’m a part of suggested trying an anthology to stop feeling so slumpy. I have picked up Because You Love to Hate Me: 13 Tales of Villainy, which features 13 stories from the villain’s perspective by different popular YA authors. I’m really excited to read this one.
How is your reading going?

Sorry your struggling with the dreaded slump. It does sound like you’ve still managed to read quite a bit although I think we’re in the same boat as far as review writing goes.
I do tend to find anthologies and novellas help when I’m in a slump. They don’t require the same commitment as a whole book and you feel like you’re making progress.

I didn’t completely love the anthology I ended up with, but it helped in that it made me want to get onto the next book asap, so I guess it kind of achieved the desired result? >.<
