This community is what keeps me going and I am really thankfull for each and every one that reads my posts and comments and stuff like that!

Finished the book: December 22st 2018
Pages: 415

Published: August 27th 2013

Synopsis
From the throne of glass rules a king with a fist of iron and a soul as black as pitch. Assassin Celaena Sardothien won a brutal contest to become his Champion. Yet Celaena is far from loyal to the crown. She hides her secret vigilantly; she knows that the man she serves is bent on evil.

Keeping up the deadly charade becomes increasingly difficult when Celaena realizes she is not the only one seeking justice. As she tries to untangle the mysteries buried deep within the glass castle, her closest relationships suffer. It seems no one is above questioning her allegiances—not the Crown Prince Dorian; not Chaol, the Captain of the Guard; not even her best friend, Nehemia, a foreign princess with a rebel heart.

Goodreads: Your Year In Books Meme 2018

I'm so excited to do this!! 
Last year I created the Your Year in Books Meme. It was a way to write a blogpost about the Goodreads Your Year in Books and share it with others.


I was hoping bloggers would participate and some did, but I do hope I can get it even bigger this year!
It's actually a yearly meme where you write your final 2018 wrap up. Instead of the usual monthly or weekly memes.



I'd love for people to participate so please share your link at the end of this post! You're free to write the blogpost in any way you like just to wrap up 2018.

I will be updating this post regularly since I'm still reading books and adding them to Goodreads until the end of the year.
