Monthly Wrap Up

Hello everyone. Welcome back to Bibliophilia Book Reviews. In this post, I will be doing a wrap up of all the books I read in September. This month I read five books. It was a rather slow reading month I’ll admit, and unfortunately I did not like two of those five books. Here are my thoughts on all of them: 1. NONFICTION: Unmasked by Paul Holes This book is the memoir of the retired cold case investigator Paul Holes and his relentless search for the Golden State Killer. I enjoyed this book, and the chapters in which the author relates…

Hello everyone. Welcome back to Bibliophilia Book Reviews. In this post, I will be doing a wrap up of all the books I read in August. This month is probably the one in which I read the least amount of books that fulfill my monthly reading challenge. I only completed three prompts, and two books of the six that I read this month were rereads. Also, this is the only month of the year thus far in which I read more nonfiction books than fiction. 1. NONFICTION: The Plantagenets: The Warrior Kings and Queens Who Made England by Dan Jones…

Hello everyone. Welcome back to Bibliophilia Book Reviews. In this post, I will be doing a wrap up of all the books I read in July. This month I read 8 books and DNF’d 1. This month I started to read books that I usually don’t read very much in the first place giving my reading tastes a little bit more diversity. One of these types of books is reading a book in Spanish. The books I choose for this prompt are originally published in this language (no translations here, but there’s an idea for a new prompt), but the…

Hello everyone. Welcome back to Bibliophilia Book Reviews. In this post, I will be doing a wrap up of all the books I read in June. As a friendly reminder, every month I try to read at least one book that fits into one of the following prompts: Library Book, Nonfiction, Book of the Month (BOTM), Classic, A Requested Review, a book that Starts a Series and one that Finishes a Series. And in April, I added New Release. I am realistic and know that I will not complete all of these prompts every month. But I do try. And…

Hello everyone. Welcome back to Bibliophilia Book Reviews. In this post, I will be doing a wrap up of all the books I read in May. This month was a rather slow reading month for me, and unfortunately I didn’t get to read as many books as I was hoping. It is going to be, then, a rather short wrap up this time around. But I did complete a series and read a couple of books that I really liked. Let’s begin: 1. Ravencaller  by David Dalglish This book is the second installment of The Keepers trilogy by this author,…

Hello everyone. Welcome back to Bibliophilia Book Reviews. In this post, I will be doing a wrap up of all the books I read in April. This month I completed more prompts for my reading challenge than last month, however I still didn’t finish it. No matter. The point with this reading challenge is to read books that I wouldn’t have read otherwise, not to finish all eight prompts before the end of the month, and I’m accomplishing that. I read some really good books this month, and I am looking forward to talking about each one. I read 10…

Hello everyone. Welcome back to Bibliophilia Book Reviews. In this post, I will be doing a wrap up of all the books I read in March. This month I read 6 books and I DNF’d 1. In a way, I feel like I did rather poorly this month (I obviously did not complete my reading challenge) but I also think that I did pretty well if that is even possible. And this is because I completed The Faithful And The Fallen series by John Gwynne and these books are monumental. I feel pretty accomplished by that. The prompts that I…

Hello everyone. Welcome back to Bibliophilia Book Reviews. In this post, I will be doing a wrap up of all the books I read in February. This month I read 8 books. It was definitely a slower reading month for me, and I did not complete my reading challenge this time. Some books were also longer than the ones I read last month, while others were not all that to my liking. In fact, I am going to start with a book I didn’t like and which I DNF’d at 60%. These reviews have spoilers. 1. BOTM: Half Sick of…

Hello everyone. Welcome back to Bibliophilia Book Reviews. In this post, I will be doing a wrap up of all the books I read in January. This new year though I want to try something a little different with my wrap ups. I am still going to list how many books I read in the month I am wrapping up and provide a synopsis for each one of them, but this time I want some of those books to be part of a reading challenge I set up for myself this year so that my reading includes various types of…

Hello everyone. Welcome back to Bibliophilia Book Reviews. In this post, I will be doing a wrap up of all the books I read in December 2021. These reviews have minor spoilers. 1. The Woman In The White Kimono by Ana Johns I Really Liked this book, but there were a few things that affected my overall experience reading it. First off, the narrator of the audiobook is the same one that read The Oyster Thief by Sonia Faruqi and we all know how much I loved that (read my review here). I do not mean to say that this…
