Read with Kayla - August 23rd to 29th

This week was definitely a slower reading week and I didn't finish any audiobooks, but I've still got some awesome books to share with you! Be sure to follow me on Instagram - ReadWithKaylaXO to see what I'm reading in real-time!


Physical/eBooks

1.Talon the Black by Melissa Mitchell


I absolutely love Melissa Mitchell! I received an eARC of the prequel/companion novel to this series a few weeks ago and loved it and so I found her on Instagram and not only is she an author I love, but one of my favorite bookstagram friends! This book was absolutely incredible and after reading For the Crown was a little surprised by the start, but I loved it! I cannot wait to read the sequel this week!


Rating: ★★★★


Read if you love: dragons, magic, adventure



2.The Assassin's Blade by Sarah J. Maas


This collection of stories from the Throne of Glass world are incredible. It gives you so much backstory on Celaena and was incredibly helpful to have read between Crown of Midnight and Heir of Fire. Do not miss out on this companion book!


Rating: ★★★★★


Read if you love: fantasy, adventure, badass women



3. Heir of Fire by Sarah J. Maas


This is the third book in the Throne of Glass series. The only reason this one gets four stars instead of five like the rest of this series is because there were so many new POVs introduced and so it took me a lot longer to read because I was confused. I loved all of the new characters and story lines, it just was a lot to digest!

ARCs/eARCs

(I received these eARCs from NetGalley and their respective publishers in exchange for my honest review)


1. Rival Sisters by Louise Guy (out now!)


This book was a gem! I love a good story about sisters and this one really hit home. Nat and Hannah are both incredibly relatable characters and Phyllie is everything I hope I am at 89. Though these two sisters go through a lot of ups and downs, none of it feels "too much". I thoroughly enjoyed every second!


Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for access to this eARC!


Rating: ★★★★


Read if you love: Family Dramas, real life issues



2. Gods and Lies by Elizabeth Vail (out now!)


This was a great quick read! Though it is short the world is still built up pretty well and it is easy to follow. I love a good modern story that involves mythology and the crime/mystery element made it all the better. I'd love to read more stories set in this world- involving Iris and Andy or new characters! I definitely recommend this for a good quick read!


Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for access to this eARC!

3. What Would Frida Do?: A Guide to Living Boldly by Arianna Davis (out October 20, 2020)


I was not expecting to love this book as much as I did. This modern analysis of the incredible life of Frida Kahlo through the lense of how she may handle modern times kept my attention throughout. I devoured it in one sitting. I loved the author's voice and her connection to Frida. I learned so much about Kahlo that I did not know.


This book was also a beacon of inspiration for me. I can't wait to move forward with some of the ideas that sparked from the "What Would Frida Do..." situations at the end of every chapter!


Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for granting me access to this eARC


Rating: ★★★★★


Read if you love: badass women, biographies, motivation



All in all this was a good week of books! What did you read this week?

Kayla
