Adult Fiction Books For Young Adult Fans

If you love reading YA books, but you’re also looking to expand your reading tastes, you are just in the right place! Or you might feel like you have outgrown the YA genre somewhat, but you don’t really know where to start when it comes to adult books. Either way, I understand you perfectly and that’s why I came up with this list of adult fiction books that can appeal to readers that aren’t quite familiar to the genre and they can also ease your transition from young adult books to adult books if that’s what you want. There is no better time to get into a new genre than right now as we have more time to read due to the current state of our world. Hopefully, you will be able to do just that with the books that I’m recommending right now!

Book Review: If We Were Villains

Oliver Marks has just served ten years in jail – for a murder he may or may not have committed. On the day he’s released, he’s greeted by the man who put him in prison. Detective Colborne is retiring, but before he does, he wants to know what really happened a decade ago. As one of seven young actors studying Shakespeare at an elite arts college, Oliver and his friends play the same roles onstage and off: hero, villain, tyrant, temptress, ingenue, extra. But when the casting changes, and the secondary characters usurp the stars, the plays spill dangerously over into life, and one of them is found dead. The rest face their greatest acting challenge yet: convincing the police, and themselves, that they are blameless.

10 Books To Read If You Like Mythology

This has been previously posted on The Nerd Daily.

Hi, everyone! Long time no see! I’ve been so busy lately with uni and beta reading that I have ended up neglecting the blog and writing in general. But no matter how long my hiatus is, I always come back one way or another – this time it has been so long since I’ve put down my bookish thoughts somewhere that it started feeling like a void, I missed doing something that I loved so much! I don’t know how often I’m going to post, but I know that I want to write more often than I’ve been doing lately!

My first post coming back is going to be focused on mythology retellings – I’m going to give you some recommendations that I hope you will enjoy! Without much further ado…

Women’s Fiction Prize Challenge (Part 1)

Hello, darlings! It’s Marta and I’m back with the post I’ve promised you about Women’s Prize for Fiction. I’ve been oblivious about this award for a huge part of my life (I’m ashamed of it, really), but I thought I’d make up for this by trying to read most of the books on the longlist before the results come up in June.

I’ll update you while I make progress on my TBR – I hope to write a review for each book or at least some mini reviews if I’m going to binge-read them.

There are 16 books on that list, I’ve already read one – Circe by Madeline Miller – you can find my review here. It’s one of my favorite books of all the time, so if the other books on the list are on that level, well… I’m going to be very happy.

I’m going to tell you a little bit about what I’ve gathered from the blurbs of those books, what my expectations are and maybe I’ll persuade you to read some of the books on the list as well!

Let’s get right into it!

Most Anticipated Books of 2019

Hello, lovelies! I’m back with a post where I tell you about my most anticipated books, I’ll organize them on months exactly like I’ve done last year. I hope I’ll help you find some new books to add on your TBR pile as well and maybe you’ll suggest some that aren’t on this list to me as well!

I hope you had a great beginning of the year! Was I the only one surprised by the color of the Goodreads challenge? Because I surely didn’t expect it to be that dark purple, almost black, but it looks quite interesting, to be honest. I pledged to read 50 books because I want to be relaxed and complete it quite easily. Let me know in the comments how many books you want to read this year!

Now let’s get right into the post!

10 Books To Read If You’re Behind On Your Goodreads Challenge

Hello, lovelies! I’m Marta and I’m back with a post for those who haven’t completed their Goodreads Challenge for this year yet. If you’re like me, you’re looking for some quick, maybe short (sometimes this backfires for me) reads that you can finish in those few days that remained. And I’ve got your back, I’m going to give ten suggestions and then show you a few books that I hope will help me on my challenge.

Without further ado, let’s get into the list!

Fall Wrap-Up

Hi, lovelies! I’m Marta and I’m back with my fall wrap-up, which should have gone up a long time ago, but I’ve been lazy and in a blogging slump. I’ve promised you that I’ll do a seasonal wrap-up from now on and I’m trying to keep my promise intact. I’ve read a total of 18 books in the previous months, September hasn’t been the best for me, but I’ve went back to my habits of reading 6-7 books per month during October and November. I’m still a bit behind with my Goodreads challenge, but I’m sure my winter break will help me complete it.

Keep your fingers crossed for me! And with this in mind, let’s get into the actual wrap-up!

Books I Want To Read Before 2019

Hello, lovelies! I’m Marta and this blog post is dedicated to the books I want to read before this year comes to an end. Many people have done this post on blogosphere and on Booktube as well, I think it was a theme for Top 5 Wednesday, but I’m not sure, don’t take my word for that.

As always, this is a tentative TBR list. You know me, I’m the moodiest reader out there, it will be a miracle if I read three books I mention in this post.

I still like doing posts dedicated to the books I have to read even if I fail at them because it makes me aware of what I have on my TBR shelf, what I’ve ignored for way too long, it kind of motivates me. So, I’m going to keep doing them because even if I manage to read a book from this post, I’m going to be satisfied. Don’t judge me!

Now, let’s get into the books I’d love to read before 2018 ends!

Sexist Tropes and Books That Smashed Them

Hello, everyone! I’m Marta and today I’m going to talk about tropes that are the absolute bane of my existence – sexist tropes. As the title suggests, I’m also going to attempt to find books that smashed those tropes and recommend them to you.

I’m mostly going to focus on female characters because in my opinion, most harmful tropes are about them, but it’s worth mentioning that there are obviously sexist tropes when it comes to male characters as well (toxic masculinity has a lot to do with it).

Now that we’ve settled everything, let’s get into the actual post!

Matching Books (Friendships) with my Blogging Friends

Hey, lovelies! So, this post is inspired by Malanie‘s tag (such a great idea, Mal, you rock!), on which I was tagged by Marie, thank you again!!! I’m going to be a bit more free with this post and just choose some blogging friends and match them with books and bookish stuff as well. 

So, without further ado… Let’s get into the post!
