The Pre-Netflix Grishaverse Tag!

Hey everyone, welcome to Nox Reads, I'm "Nox", and  Rachel Marie Book Junkie over on YouTube  tagged me to do her  original  book tag- the Pre-Netflix Grishaverse Tag! Fair warning:  Some of these prompt titles contain spoilers for the Grishaverse (namely the  Shadow and Bone  trilogy). Let's begin! 1. Nina Better Be Plus-Sized- A book with fantastic fat rep. I'm going to be honest- I haven't read a book with any fat rep besides the  Six of Crows  duology. Therefore, my choice is going to be a book that's very high on my TBR that I've heard not only has amazing fat rep, but also Afro-Latinx rep, and as an overweight girl who is mixed race (which includes my Latina  and  my African-American sides), I really love that. Also, there's magic and (technically) zombies. What's not to love? 2. MALINA are NOT my OTP- A book where you couldn't get behind the romance. *cough*  Shadow and Bone  *cough* Okay, I know I can't use

Book Ramble - Six of Crows [SPOILER FREE]

Hello everyone! Welcome to Nox Reads, I'm "Nox", and at the end of 2018 I decided to join the Leigh Bardugo hype train and read  Six of Crows , which I've decided most definitely earns a  DESERVES ALL THE HYPE! "The heart is an arrow. It demands aim to land true."

I was a bit scared because this is a heavily hyped duology, but I am absolutely loving it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- S P O I L E R - F R E E  T A L K  What makes this book amazing is the characters.

2019 Bookish Resolutions!

Hi everyone! Welcome to Nox Reads, I'm "Nox", and I solemnly swear that I won't fail with these bookish resolutions the way I usually do! This is just a short little post, but I wanted to let everyone know what specifically bookish goals I had in mind for 2019! Since it's so short I'm posting it on the same day as my  2018 Wrap Up . Without further ado, here are my bookish resolutions! Read 36 books this year!  This is my Goodreads challenge, and while I read 35 in 2018, it was pretty tough to get to it. Read the  To All the Boys I've Loved Before  trilogy.  I've seen the movie but never read the books! Read more new releases!  I received so many new releases but never got to them! Read the  Crazy Rich Asians  trilogy.  Once again, saw the movie without reading the books! Grow my blog!  This isn't really a specific one, but I want to work on fixing it and making the blog a place where more people want to come and interact! Post at least
