The end of this amazing read-a-thon is here! Out of the 13 ARCs I was planning to read, I only read 3. Then I DNF-ed 4. (Total of 7) The start was going so smoothly but after my third book, reading slump hit me. It didn't go away until the last week of August which was a busy week for me. So no more chance to catch up aaaaah! Fail!
Here are the books I have successfully finished and reviewed!
#ARCAugust Book 1: Lucky in Love by Kasie West. Unfortunately, I wasn't lucky enough to enjoy it 😭😭😭😭 pic.twitter.com/dLsSGt1Pv6— Kate au Barca (@BookishBlurber) August 6, 2017
Lucky in Love is such a promising novel but it lacked real feelings, it absolutely felt flat. I wished hard that I'd enjoy it but I weren't lucky this time. Too bad.
#ARCAugust Book 2: That Thing We Call a Hear by Sheba Karim. Gaaaaaaad, that ending! pic.twitter.com/OjcflxRD6T— Kate au Barca (@BookishBlurber) August 6, 2017
That Thing We Call a Heart is a story of discoveries you'll gladly follow along with. Enjoyable yet heartbreaking at times, this book knows it's ways to the heart.
#ARCAugust Book 3: The Secret History of Us by Jessi Kirby. Masakit sya. 😂😂😂 pic.twitter.com/Qh42yfKZAM— Kate au Barca (@BookishBlurber) August 9, 2017
The Secret History of Us is a story of losing and finding; of forgetting and remembering; of endings and beginnings. This one captured my heart and it is such a source of hope for those who are feeling empty and alone.
I knew from the start that I was just being ambitious but at least I know now that I would have surpassed the books I set if only I fought hard HAHA damn reading slump! I enjoyed this one so much so next year, I will join again!
How many books did you read for the challenge?
