One of my goals for this year was to read more, especially in the genre that I write, which, as you know by now, is Adult Fantasy/Romance. Therefore, most of the books are romantasy or an adjacent category.

Book I am putting off reading: The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah (because it’s long and I’m not really into WWII, but I am curious about what all the fuss is about.)
Most shocking DNF: Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson – I really struggled to connect with the characters.
A book I thought I’d hate but ended up loving: The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
My next book: The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss
I will do a full write-up of all the books I have read this year in my December end-of-year posts.
To follow my reading journey, find me on Goodreads as Part-Time Dragon.
