So, this year I restarted by read 5, buy 1 and so far it has been going really well last month I didn’t really haul many books so I decided to combine January and February. I will say that the challenge is going really nicely. My owned TBR is currently sitting at 37 books, which I am very proud of. I am well on my way to get into the teens, which is my ultimate goal. Anyway, I am going to stop blabbing on and on and get to the book!
-Pre Read 5, Buy 1-
The Wicked King by Holly Black
So I love Holly Black and I really enjoyed reading the first book in this series, The Cruel Prince. I had this book preordered and it was placed before the new year and also because I was really excited about it I needed to preordered it. Anyway, I am really excited to get to it in the near future.

Washington Black by Esi Edugyan
I decided to pick this up for Black History Month… oops I read it in January because I could not wait and I really liked it. If you want to see my full review of it please go to my Monthly Wrap Up | January 2019 it was really enjoyable and I really do suggest it.
Assassin’s Apprentice by Robin Hobb
So, I have been eyeing starting this series for some time and I finally decided to pick it up. I have been wanting to get more into adult fantasy and right and left people have said to give Robin Hobb a try and I read the description and it sounds really interesting.
Early Riser by Jasper Fforde
So this book is from my Book of the Month | February 2019 post I did a few weeks ago. Like I said in the post, this book is a science fiction read nothing like I have read before. It reminded me of a recent movie with Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence where they wake up in space and everyone else is asleep. On top of that I would really like to hibernate sometimes so I can live through the characters lol.
Have you read any of these books? Are any of them on your TBR? Which one would you read first?

I hope you enjoy Robin Hobb’s book! This year, I bought the last two books in The Bone Witch trilogy. Already read them and just wanted to collect them haha I also bought The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath 🙂

The Bell Jar is on my bucket list, I just am not sure when I will actually get to it. lol.
I have heard the title of The Bone Witch, but I have no idea what they are about, but I am glad to hear you have liked them enough to collect them.

I love Robin Hobb. She’s one of the few authors to completely rip my heart out and stomp on it (that’s a good thing).

Wow, way to have the self-control to keep implementing read five buy one! I’ve kind of fallen away from that, but I need to get back because my unread books are getting out of control, especially since I’ve been reading more library books recently. Also, props to only having 37 physical books on your tbr, that’s so awesome!

Thanks. It is really hard sometimes that is for sure, but since doing it I have really been reading books right after I get them instead of them sitting on my shelf for who knows how long and loosing interest. Oddly, buying less books has made me more excited about them.
