It's Monday! What Are You Reading? #4

   

    Hi! Welcome to my fourth It's Monday! What Are You Reading? post, part of my ongoing Week of Book Memes events. (To check out what I've been posting during past Week of Book Memes, click HERE.) 

 

    I took a week-long hiatus from my weekly book blogging but am so happy to be back. I have been very busy reading and writing-wise, juggling several story projects at once while trying to power through a few series at the same time. We were able to get to the library because of Christmas break, which has allowed me to read more printed books. Woohoo! I also got the promise of a free book of my choice (as well as a fun bookworm T-shirt) for Christmas, which I will definitely be using soon!

    

    Scroll below to get a feel for what I've been reading...

A Book Review: A Wilted Willow (Plus EXCLUSIVE interview with the author!)

    Hi, everyone! I am super excited for this week's post, because I'm participating in my first ever blog tour! A huge thanks for the author for letting me promote her amazing writing.

    Along with the author's blog launch post (you can find her blog HERE), she and her upcoming book will be featured on the blogs of Annabeth Hazel, E.G. Bella, Raina Nightingale, and Ribbon Ash. You can click on those links to visit each site, and view the schedule for the blog tour below.

    This book review and interview contain no spoilers. Check out both of them below!

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? #3

  

    Hi! Welcome to my third It's Monday! What Are You Reading? blog post, part of my monthly Week of Book Memes event. (To check out what I posted during my last Week of Book Memes, click HERE.) I'm so excited to be able to make this a regular, monthly post on my blog. It's definitely stretched me and grown me as I've gotten used to writing these posts about what's on my bookshelf!

 

    Last time I posted about this, I mentioned that I'd been stuck on a couple of books. It's true I haven't been reading as much as I've been writing. Last week, though, I went ahead and checked out some new books and flew through them! I'm feeling newly inspired by those, and I hope that taking a break from the books I have a harder time concentrating on will give me the tenacity to go back to them.

    Well, onto the bookshelf!

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? #2

 

    Hi! Welcome to my second It's Monday! What Are You Reading? blog post, part of my monthly Week of Book Memes event. (To see what I posted during my last Week of Book Memes, click HERE.) I really enjoyed getting to do this last month, and am excited to blog about it again.

 

    This has been a bit of a slow week for me in books, partly due to my ongoing fanfiction obsession and the fact that I haven't been to the library in a couple of weeks. Hopefully during the week I'll get back into the mood and habit of finishing the books I start.

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? #1

    Hi, everyone! Welcome to my first ever try at a It's Monday! What Are You Reading? book blog event. If you're new to Stepping Stones Book Reviews, welcome. This is the first of The Week of Book Memes, a four-part series of posts I'm doing this week, all dedicated to participating in some of the most fun and popular book blog memes that the Internet has to offer. 

    I've had some rough stuff going on the past few weeks (including recovering from a huge surgery), so I got a little behind on my usually big reading list. As I've rested and gotten more strength up, I've begun to pick up more books and finish them too. I hope you'll enjoy taking a look at my bookshelf as of right now.

A Book Review: The Emerald of Wishes (Plus EXCLUSIVE interview with the author!)

    Hi, everyone. This week I got the privilege of reading and reviewing a young author's debut! It was released earlier this month, and I hope that if you check it out you'll agree that this writer shows a lot of promise. I was also able to conduct an interview with her via the web, similar to what I did with Jordyn Hadden. I hope you enjoy both my take on the book and the full interview.

    There may be minor spoilers as I try to give an accurate picture of the book.

    (The discussion questions will have spoilers, since they are supposed to be used after reading the book.)
