Anticipated Book Releases | April – June

The Reading Hobbit

We're already three months into this year and I really just can't believe it. It shouldn't already be almost April. It really shouldn't. But it is anyway! It's ridiculous. 24 years on this planet and I still cannot grasp the concept of time. Anyway, enough existential contemplation, it's also time for another anticipated book releases post, for the second quarter of the year.

Some Books You May Not Have Heard of That Definitely Deserve More Hype

The Reading Hobbit

Sometimes we encounter books and read them and love them then draw a deep breath to shout about them into the void that is the internet only to realize that.. no one has heard of these books. Or at least not so many as you think should! Because the book is amazing! Why is no one talking about it!? I have a bunch of these books, so today I'm talking about all of them 🙂 These are some books from my book shelf that I haven't seen anyone talk about recently and I think need a little more hype.

The Reading Hobbit

This post may contain spoilers, for both the movie and the book! Be warned! (By the way, this is not really a review post, but more my rambling thoughts on the adaptation.)

Some Short Books For A Short Attention Span

The Reading Hobbit

These past few weeks I've been reading lots of short books, mostly because I've been reading so many longer and more difficult books this winter and I wanted to read things that didn't take so long. Then I thought, others probably have that same problem, too, sometimes, so I made a list of shorter books that I really enjoyed at some point! The books on this list are between 185 and 250 pages long, but they vary in font size and how much white there is on the page, so some might be shorter than they seem!
