While I have not read all Cassandra Clare’s books on the Shadowhunters world, I remember reading a few books from The Mortal Instruments series when I was in secondary school. For me, reading this book was a way to reconnect with my younger self to see if what I enjoy reading has changed.

HOUSE OF EARTH AND BLOOD by Sarah J. Maas
Props to Sarah J. Maas for trying something new, but… This was such a let down! The storyline starts off a little slow and generally remains that way for most of the book as the main characters face a series of dead ends. Things finally pick up towards the ends as we are hit with several twists that I really did not see coming.

AN AMERICAN MARRIAGE by Tayari Jones
On the surface, this book appears to be a book about race – A young, newly-wed black man is wrongfully convicted of a crime we know he did not commit (not a spoiler, the blurb gives this away) or so it seems.

CIRCE by Madeline Miller
Circe, pronounced – Sur-see; Not circ or circle! Now that I have gotten my pettiness out of the way, let’s talk about the book. I bought this book because of all the hype surrounding it and its long residence on the Goodreads’ Most Read This Week list. This book also had so many positive reviews, so of course I was really excited to start reading.
