About

Hi! I’m Simone and this blog is about me and my books. I hope you enjoy yourself and don’t forget to follow me for almost-daily updates!

Happy Sunday! I’m spending my day reading and eating but what else is new. What are your plans for this weekend? . I’m totally sucked into DARK MATTER by @blakecrouch1 and I’ll probably be spending the rest of the day reading. I can’t wait to find out more about this intriguing book. You can find updates on my stories. #TheBacklistBookClub
Taking a break from Black Leopard, Red Wolf to read DARK MATTER by @blakecrouch1. Is it weird that I read edgy science fiction in between heavy fantasy novels? I’m not complaining. . Will you be joining me for the readalong today? I know I did a pretty bad job of hyping this up, but this month hasn’t been the best start to a new year. I’ll be sharing some more folks who’ve been reading this one and getting it off their shelf! #TheBacklistBookClub
Happy Friday. Three guesses on what I’m still reading. . Okay, so I really like BLRW. It’s compelling and complex and dives into a lot of African history and mythology. I’m totally living for that. However, Marlon James is one thorough writer. The reason why this story moves so slow (I think) is because he’s so thorough. Every single move the characters make is described in detail. It makes for really great writing but also extremely dense. . Another thing is the writing style. The book seems to be intentionally written in broken English so sentence structures are off and makes it tougher to read. But it’s a choice the author made so you have to respect that. I’m just feeling really off my reading game and this book will challenge you. I’m going to keep making progress because I have to see how this ends but I’ll prob give myself the weekend to read something else.
[Thanks to all the publishers tagged for the complimentary reads] Happy Thursday! It’s yet another rainy day in LA and I’m trying to get all my work done so I can focus on my book. I didn’t get to make as much progress this week and I want to change that over the next couple of days. . Since I’m still reading BLACK LEOPARD, RED WOLF, I thought I would share some book mail I’ve recently received. I’m so excited about these titles and I really can’t wait to get to them all. Probably over the year, though lol. Do you see any titles you’re excited about?
[Thanks @riverheadbooks for the complimentary read!] I’ve got a fresh cup of coffee, water, my reading journal, book darts, a pen, and the best seat in the house. Today is a supremely rainy day, so I’ll be staying home and reading BLACK LEOPARD, RED WOLF. . I was making some progress last night and OMG this book!!!! If things keep going the way they are, this might be one of my favorite fantasy stories ever. I’ll let you know when I’m done.
Happy Tuesday everyone! I’m running a little behind with so much work I have to do. But once I’m done I plan on dedicating the rest of the week reading BLACK LEOPARD, RED WOLF. How are you doing? . So I had to restart this one because the first two chapters were confusing. I wanted to make sure I completely understood what was going on before I moved ahead. Now I’m at a better place. Does anyone else restart novels?
