This month wasn’t as easy as I thought. You have a short time to read, and I think I choose too many books to read. Also, 3 of them were “big” (more than 400 pages), and one was non-fiction which generally takes me more time to read than fiction. A short month (2 more days can be so helpful to read) and add all that I was kind of stress about.
On a good note: I finished the Percy Jackson series, so now I can start with The Lost Hero, the first book in the next instalment in this verse. I read the last two books of Percy Jackson this month; one was planned, the other one wasn’t. That’s also why I struggle to read this month as I absolutely wanted to read the fifth book of the series, and I couldn’t concentrate on the books that were still in my Olympus TBR. It was so frustrating as I wanted to read it, but I couldn’t as it wasn’t planned, and I had the biggest book to read still waiting to be read, and I didn’t want to use my bonus card. Nevertheless, when I saw that the book Rules of Wolves by Leigh Bardugo (the second book of the duology) was only released at the end of the month, I decided to use my bonus card. So I swapped King of Scars by Leigh Bardugo with Percy Jackson and the Last Olympian by Rick Riordan.
Here some stats:
Sadly, I don’t have a Bonus card anymore.
