And Book Of the Month:
Isabella (Chantelle Rose Series #3) by Cristina Hodgson

I really loved this last book of the series. it was hard to part with this series and I’m going to miss the main character of the book who was witty, refreshing and steadily developed in series.

6 books is way more than I read this month so well done 🙂 The cover for Salt for Air is gorgeous! Those colours! Just checked out your review and I adore retellings and love mythology so it’s pretty much everything I look for in a book 😛 Just downloaded it to my Kindle now!
