T5W: Gift Wrapped

 There is no gift I enjoy more than a good book, especially if it was someone's favorite book. Butttttttttt, I am far from perfect at reading said books. in fact, I have some on my TBR that have taken me a hot minute to get around to or still haven't gotten around to. 

1. The City of Brass



I've heard so many good things about this trilogy and I do truly want to read it a lot but for some reason I just haven't picked it up yet. I either received this book for Christmas last year or the year before and it is now towards the top of my list for to reads next year. 

2. Nevernight



I am pretty sure I received this the same Christmas as I received The City of Brass and the same thing applies here.
 

3. The Name of the Wind



I got this for my Birthday in 2017 and even though I really wanted to read it, its daunting size made me keep procrastinating it. I finally read it the end of last year and, of course, I loved it. I have also since read The Wise Man's Fear and The Slow Regard of Silent Things, which I also really enjoyed. 

4. Throne of Glass



I recieved this book for Christmas in probably 2016 and I only just read it the beginning of this year. Not my proudest moment. I will say, I gave this book a solid 4 stars and wish I had gotten to it years ago. 'Regerts'

5. Ready Player One



This was a gift I recieved from an ex in 2017, and only just read it last year. I am terrible. Again though, I loved this book and wish I had gotten to it sooner.

November Wrap-Up

Admittedly it wasn't my best reading month, but after I finished The Way of Kings half way through the month I needed like a week of recovery before I could get into something else. On the upside though, I am on my way to reaching my goal for the year! 50 books down and only 2 more (at least) to go.
