Okayy, this month did actually speed by for once. That’s not happened for a while. But this time it feels like I literally only just wrote my July Wrap Up…so strange.
I had a bit of a weird reading month. I felt like I didn’t read anything? But I very obviously did. I don’t know what August did to me.

I have been saving this graphic novel for AGES.
I bought it a while ago, intending to read it when I read Dragonfly in Amber, so that when the huge book took me longer to get through, I’d have a quick one to keep me on track with my reading goal.
Well, turns out I didn’t need to do that. So this book was still waiting for me to read it. And finally, I decided to do just that.
I don’t know how long this review will be. I’m not too great at reviewing graphic novels, since they’re very much more about the art than the words…but I’ll try. It just might be a bit shorter than my usual reviews.
(Sorry for the awful photo. I didn’t plan one beforehand so the lighting was all dodgy and I had to make do with this mess)
Title: Saga Volume 2

At the start of the month I said to myself “I’m on a book buying ban for April because I’ve gotten so many books since December.”
As time went on, I realized one of my most anticipated releases came out at the end of the month. So this went from no books to “I’ll make an exception for THAT ONE BOOK.”
And then April actually started and I ended up getting 6 books. And a half. Kind of (you’ll see what I mean).

So here we are, having reached the end of another month. Which means it’s time to do one of my favourite type of blog posts…a Wrap Up!
As always, I’ll be listing all the books I’ve read this month, along with what I’m currently reading, the blog posts I wrote this month (that weren’t reviews), and a few updates about my life in general.
*All reviews I write are spoiler free*
Well.
Today’s review is going to be a graphic novel, purely because I’ve been busy most of the week and haven’t yet finished The Dream Thieves…in fact, I’m not even halfway through it yet. But since I always upload review on Fridays, I didn’t want to miss this week.
Luckily I had a graphic novel at hand that I hadn’t yet read.
Title: East of West
Author: Jonathan Hickman & Nick Dragotta

As some of you might know, I’m a member and part time host of the Blogger Bookclub, created by Emmi @ Books With Ems. I say part time because I’m not a host for every month, but I am for the majority.
And since I’m one of the hosts for this month, I get to share this giveaway!

Since it felt like it took me a while to reread A Darker Shade of Magic, I decided to pick up a graphic novel – this one being The Walking Dead.
Now, I don’t watch TV that often, so I’ve not seen the The Walking Dead TV series. All I know is that it’s quite popular, to say the least. And since I’ve been getting into graphic novels lately, I decided to go about learning the story this way.
I’m not too great at reviewing graphic novels yet, I find it quite difficult since they’re so short, so please bare with me!
Title: The Walking Dead Volume 1: Days Gone Bye
Author: Robert Kirkman & Tony Moore
Publisher: Image Comics
Series Status: The 1st in a series
Number of Pages: 134 (approximately)
My Rating:Â 3.5/5 stars!
Already this month I’ve gotten a few books, and since I doubt I’ll get any more this month, I’m here doing my January book haul!
And even if I do end up getting more books, I’ll add them to my February book haul – and there will definitely be one next month because it’s my birthday in February 😀
Once again I apologize for the photos not being great. My phone camera isn’t the best but I’m working on it.
Since Outlander is taking me a while to finish due to the sheer size of it (over 800 pages), I decided to read Nimona last night so that I would be able to upload a review this week. Since it’s a graphic novel it didn’t take me long to read at all, and I’ve been wanting to read this one for a while now. And I thought it’d be good to mix up my reading options a bit and add another graphic novel post to my blog!
This review may be slightly sorter than my usual ones, since it’s for a graphic novel.
Title: Nimona
Author: Noelle Stevenson
Publisher: HarperTeen
Series Status: Standalone
Number of Pages: 256 + 8 bonus pages
My Rating: 4.5/5 stars!
When I got the Illustrated edition of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone for Christmas, I knew it was going to be the first book out of the haul I read. I finished reading it in just a couple of days, unfortunately for me (I didn’t want it to end).
I’m not entirely sure how this review will work out, as I haven’t written any notes to guide me this time. Also, it will be based more around this particular edition, so the drawings involved, rather than the story. This will probably be a shorter review than usual.
So know that’s been said…
