#MonthlyWrapup : January 2019
Hello Readers! I wish you all had joyful January.
This month was great from the very beginning. My review was published in the 3rd issue of RAC magazine, I got 5 new author requests for review, and (even though I have written I’m not accepting requests! I guess this policy thing is not working and I feel bad turning down the requests. I try to limit them by offering promotional post in place of review.) I thought I can manage only 5 books with my now 2 and half month daughter to take care but I read 7 book. Stats is also coming to normal. I’m quite happy with New Year this time.
This month I read and reviewed
Total Books- 7
Total Pages Read- 2054
Anne of Island by L.M. Montgomery — (Review) ★★★★★
Lovely entertaining YA classic fiction with lively animated protagonist and characters, some hilarious and some sad moments that anyone can enjoy.
Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, #1) by Rick Riordan — (Review) ★★★★1/2
Slow start but entertaining opening, exciting, adventurous, action packed book full of mythology. Those who enjoys MG, YA books will definitely love to read this.

Utterly intense, poignant, soul-stirring and thought-provoking very original fiction that I highly recommend to fiction and classic lovers.

You got into the Percy Jackson series! What prompted you to start PJO now? I’m happy to hear you’re enjoying it.
It’s frustrating when you say you’re not accepting review requests and still get submissions. 1) People aren’t respecting what you said and 2) you end up feeling bad saying no. (Or is the second one just me?)

I’m re-reading PJO. I never reviewed them when I read it for first time and I was not on blog as well. Now that I’m seeing Riordan books so much on blogoshere, i thought why not to go on adventure once again.
Some request i decline or offer to post promo only but some turns out so interesting and that it’s hard to decline.
SHA @ Book Princess Reviews
Re-reading books is really fun. I’m glad you’re enjoying it the second time around. It is so hard to decline when a book is interesting, even if you have a lot on your plate!

So true!

Looks like you had a great reading month! Glad you liked kite runner and the first two percy jackson books as well 🙂 And Anne of the Island is fantastic of course!

I wish you would go into more detail about each book. There’s pros and cons to every book. But really good word choice and your writing isn’t lacking in anything but length. 🙂 love the reviews!!!
Yesha - Books Teacup and Reviews
I write pros and cons as likes and dislikes (why i cut stars), I won’t write cons if I couldn’t find one. But other readers can find cons in book i gave full stars.
I don’t go in detail with plot if it has descriptive blurb and i don’t believe in writing lengthy summery as well.
I try to go in detail as much as i can but some books increase risk of spoilers in doing so.
Thank you for honest feedback! I will improve them little more now on and I look forward to hear your thoughts on them.
Sarah Sisk
Thank you for being so professional about it!! I wasn’t try to criticize but thanks for the reply 🙂
Yesha - Books Teacup and Reviews
