June Wrap up - Book Haul & What to Expect Next Month

Welcome, welcome, thanks for visiting my blog!

June is over already... I feel like I've read NOTHING. This month was a busy one. I was busy working, but also had a lot of evening trips to concerts, and was chilling with friends a lot in the evenings.

Sadly, I've only read 3 books, and that has never happened since starting this blog.

I don't feel all that bad about it, because I did awesome things, like going to an Ed Sheeran concert, going to a Beyoncé concert, I got to meet Karin Slaughter and did something for a charity. I also had a lot of fun evenings with friends and I was working evening hours last week.

Better luck next month, right?!

Synopsis
In a land without magic, where the king rules with an iron hand, an assassin is summoned to the castle. She comes not to kill the king, but to win her freedom. If she defeats twenty-three killers, thieves, and warriors in a competition, she is released from prison to serve as the king's champion. Her name is Celaena Sardothien.

The Crown Prince will provoke her. The Captain of the Guard will protect her. But something evil dwells in the castle of glass--and it's there to kill. When her competitors start dying one by one, Celaena's fight for freedom becomes a fight for survival, and a desperate quest to root out the evil before it destroys her world.

Synopsis
Agnieszka loves her valley home, her quiet village, the forests and the bright shining river. But the corrupted Wood stands on the border, full of malevolent power, and its shadow lies over her life. Her people rely on the cold, driven wizard known only as the Dragon to keep its powers at bay. But he demands a terrible price for his help: one young woman handed over to serve him for ten years, a fate almost as terrible as falling to the Wood. The next choosing is fast approaching, and Agnieszka is afraid. She knows - everyone knows - that the Dragon will take Kasia: beautiful, graceful, brave Kasia, all the things Agnieszka isn't, and her dearest friend in the world. And there is no way to save her.

But Agnieszka fears the wrong things. For when the Dragon comes, it is not Kasia he will choose.
