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 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 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…

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 October 2021. This month I read Alice Hoffman’s Practical Magic series in addition to a couple more books that I really enjoyed. These reviews have minor spoilers. 1. The Rules of Magic by Alice Hoffmann This book is the first of two prequels to Alice Hoffmann’s bestseller novel Practical Magic, first published in 1995. I read this book for the first time in January 2021, and I admit that I liked it more the second…

Hello everyone. Belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you. Welcome back to Bibliophilia Book Reviews. In this post, I will be doing a wrap up of all the books I read in September 2021. I confess I have a little catching up to do again, but September was one of my slowest reading months of last year. I think I was in a little bit of a reading slump honestly. Still, I managed to read five books that month, and some of those books are new favorites. In the next few weeks (more than a few,…
