Weekly Wrap-Up October 10th-16th


So I managed to read five books this week. All five were physical books; two being re-reads and one an ARC.

Nash(Marked Men #4) by Jay Crownover *****(re-read)
Just needed some Nash in my life.

Rowdy(Marked Men #5)  by Jay Crownover *****(re-read)
Rereading Nash of course had to lead to rereading Rowdy.

The Sword of Summer(Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard) by Rick Riordan ****.5
God, I love Rick Riordan for giving me Magnus Chase. He is now one of absolute favourite characters. The sass and sarcasm that comes out his mouth had me laughing at least once per page. Magnus Chase is also a total throw back to the original Percy Jackson books with the first person and hilarious chapter titles. #nostalgia I also learned a good bit about Norse mythology. Which is another reason I love Riordan. He's great at incorporating learning into the adventure and action of the story. It did make me want to go out and read up more on the mythology. The cast of characters are just great. Not only is there diversity but camaraderie and banter is the best. It's really hard to pick, but I think this is my favourite of Riordan's books. Magnus just really killed it with his sassy mouth.

A Step Toward Falling by Cammie McGovern *.5
Find my full review here.


Nuts(Hudson Valley #1) by Alice Clayton ****.5
As expected Nuts is hilariously sexy. When I mention reading a real romcom, Clayton is always up top of that list. I think Nuts is now my new fave of hers. Who know farmers were so hot. I think they're the new "it" guy. Yum. Roxie is great fun. Quirky, weird and funny with a deep love and passion for food and cooking(she's a classically trained chef), Roxie really grabbed my attention and did not let go. Add in the hottness that is farmer Leo and I did not put this book down until I flipped to the last page. Cannot wait for more from this series.
