I have been slacking on blogging! I don't remember what order I read these in or what month, so I'm combining the last two months together. I hope I didn't forget any... The descriptions are going to be brief because I read some of these so long ago I don't even remember that much about them. I also don't know if I have these in the correct order, but that doesn't really matter. I need to do better about writing each book down when I finish them. Also I'm back posting these because I have a lot of catching up to do and I don't know when I'll have time to sit down and do it again.... There are some really exciting posts coming up!! Not just books anymore hehe. Let's get to it.
It's been a while so you may not remember, but I read book one in July. I read the other two books at the beginning of August. I really liked this trilogy. It was different from the usual fantasy trilogy. It had a lot of things in it that were unique (as far as from what I've read anyway). I really liked the characters. They weren't perfect or without flaws. It's been so long since I've read them that I don't remember a lot of the details or the ending really, but I remember being satisfied with it. I'm pretty sure everything was resolved.
This book was creepy and weird, but I really liked it! It was so bizarre! I LOVED the dog in the book and the rest of the characters were good too hehe. It is definitely one that will creep you out... well it did me anyway.
This one was totally a waste of time. It was supposed to be a sequel to A Feral Darkness, which I enjoyed, but it's actually an extremely short (thank goodness) waste of time with no point at all.
This one is a prequel to the other Oxford mysteries by H.Y. Hanna. I really enjoyed it because it shared some back story. It was shorter than the others, but still long enough that it didn't feel like a Reader's Digest or anything. I normally don't like short stories, but I liked this one.
I read this one for a V book. It was another odd one. It really kind of reminded me of Twilight if I'm honest.... I guess that theme has just been done to death. It was okay.
I read this one because I needed a Y book. It is DEFINITELY a young adult book. I HATED her mother and was pretty much bored with everything else. The ending was also... unresolved.
This one was... odd. Certain parts of it seemed childish, but the ending was unexpected and a lot of suspense. I wouldn't call it one of my favorites, but it wasn't a waste of time either lol.
It took me a bit to get into this book, but once I did I was really enjoying it.... and then it got all weird. It was still a good book though. The first and second half just seemed so different from each other. It's been a while since I read it, so now I can't remember exactly why I felt that way.
This book was strange... and sad. I'd have to go back and skim through it to remember why I felt that way, but I did. It ended well, that I remember. It was sad though.
I actually started reading this one because I liked the cover lol. I really liked this book! It was different and interesting. The ending was great. It was another young adult book in first person, present tense which I normally don't like, but the author made it work for this one. The main character's voice is unique and fun.

So I need D, H and X before the end of the year. I read an X book, but it goes in October so it will be in the next post. For those just joining me, the goal for this year's reading challenge was to read a book for each letter of the alphabet. It's harder than you'd think! I never realized it would be so hard to find Y books.... So that's all for now.
