Hey book nerds! I wanted to check in and let you know how my second week of the N.E.W.T.S. went. My work week was insanely busy but thanks again to audio-books I was able to stay on top of my reading goals. Here are the N.E.W.T.S. challenges I have completed and the ones I’m currently working on.
Arithmacy:
- The Other Woman by Sandie Jones (ARC) – This one was a disappointment. My review will be going up soon.
- In A Dark Dark Wood by Ruth Ware (Physical Book) – I really loved this one up until the end. My review will be going up soon.
- Giant Days Vol. 4 (Hoopla) – I love this graphic novel series so much. The art work is so colorful and the story line is entertaining.
Herbology:
- Giant Days Vol. 6 (Hoopla) – Again love love love this graphic novel series.
- Giant Days Vol. 7 (Hoopla) – see above
- The Sun and Her Flowers by Rupi Kaur (eBook) – Although I connected with Kaur’s poems about introverts and depression, I found this collection very repetitive and boring. It just felt like a repeat of Milk and Honey which I was not a fan of to begin with either.
History of Magic:
- Short Stories from Hogwarts; of Power, Politics and Pesky Poltergeists by J.K. Rowling (eBook) – I enjoyed this glimpse back into the world of Hogwarts. It’s a collection of back stories into characters in the Harry Potter world. Some I enjoyed more than others, but overall it was a fun and quick read.
That’s where I ended this week as far as my N.E.W.T.S. go. I’m hoping I can keep up this momentum going into week three. Wish me luck!
Are you participating in the N.E.W.T.S.? Let me know down below in the comments section.
As always keep on reading and stay book nerdy my friends!
