20% Complete!

As the title of this post says I have reached 20% completion for my book reading goals for the year! 

15 down, 60 more to go! Which at this point is only 10 more than last year's total. Not bad! I've still got 10 books on my bookshelf from the library waiting to be read. 

I'm going to briefly (maybe?) talk about the last 4 books I read. 

Spoilers ahead for:

Ash by Malinda Lo
Huntress by Malinda Lo
Eon and Eona by Alison Goodman

Starting with Huntress by Malinda Lo. I think I mentioned it in my first blog post. It was an awesome amazing book. Just the kind of story I love to read. A good strong main character that isn't without flaws. Though really, Huntress has two main characters. Both girls. Both of whom are inclined to like... wait for it, other girls! In a romantic sense! Which is one of the things I liked about this story the most. It was a part of the story but it wasn't the focus of the story. It didn't need to be. It wasn't shoved in your face. It was presented in a good way. A believable one too. I've felt like Taisa many a time when crushing on someone. So it gets points for being relate-able. 

Moving on to Ash, which is in a very roundabout way a sequel to Huntress. It's a Cinderella story. If Cinderella was a tomboy. Who hung out with a suspicious fey fellow. Who fell in love with the King's Huntress. It was awesome. My favorite version of Cinderella that's been redone. 

Which leaves the best for last.  Eon: The Dragoneye Reborn and it's just as amazing sequel Eona: The Last Dragoneye. I won't spoil a damn thing about either of these. They are both my #1 favorite book/series of the year at this point. I will say however that they remind me of both the Lioness Rampant series by Tamora Pierce (my favorite author EVER) and the Black Magician trilogy by Trudi Canavan (who I don't really like because of her very awful stance on fanfiction, but I enjoyed her trilogy immensely.)

All are fantastic books which you should check out if you are so inclined towards fantasy style books! =) Now I'm off! Probably to start Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr.
