Ruin and Rising

*All reviews I write are spoiler free*

Since Emmi @ Books With Ems started up her blogger book club, January’s challenge was to finish a series. My choice of book for this was Ruin and Rising. This book was also a buddy-read with Olivia @ Heir of Glitter!

And so here’s my review! At long last I finally read The Grisha Trilogy! *audience applauds*

As I’ve said countless times before, all my reviews are spoiler free – but since this is the last book in a trilogy, if you haven’t read the previous book you might want to avoid reading the synopsis and skip ahead to my review.

Previous books:

Shadow and Bone

Siege and Storm

Let’s talk about Ruin and Rising!

December Book Haul

Posted on December 26, 2015 by Ashleigh

So it’s just been Christmas!

I hope everyone had a really lovely day yesterday ❤ I know I did – mine was amazing actually, I got so many surprises that just blew my mind! The main one being…A LAPTOP!!!! I asked for one for my 18th birthday in February but my dad decided to surprise me by giving me one yesterday! Now it will be easier for me to blog since I won’t have to use my dad’s computer on the rare occasions he’s not on it to schedule loads of posts ahead of time 😀

~~Anyway – back to the post.~~

Instead of this being just a Christmas haul, I decided to make it my December Haul, because I bought a few books before Christmas. All together there are 17 BOOKS! (EEEEEEKKKK!)

*side note: I apologize for the low quality photographs. I took them late at night on my phone camera so they aren’t as good as I’d have hoped*

So without further ado, I’ll get on with the haul!
