It's been some time since my last reading wrap up here on the blog. The reason is simple. I spend my summer in Greece with my family, away from my books and my routine. That had an impact on my reading too and that is why I don't have monthly wrap ups but a summer one.
The Assassin's Blade (Throne of Glass #0.1 - 0.5) - Sarah J Maas
This is the first time I read anything from Sarah J. Maas and after reading The Assassin's Blade, I think I should have done it earlier. I really enjoyed reading the backstory of Celaena and I cannot wait to read more.

Or What You Will - Jo Walton
I don't know how to describe the plot of this book but the one thing I can say is that I really liked it.
I really enjoyed reading The Lost City. It's the first time I read a book with trolls as main characters and I liked it. The book is fast-paced and the writing style suits me perfectly.

The Magic Of Terry Pratchett is the first full biography of Sir Terry Pratchett ever written. In this book Marc Burrows does a brief analysis and description of the books while giving background information on them, which is very interesting and informative at the same time. I also learned many things about his personal life that made Terry Pratchett even more interesting than before.

This book was marketed as a vampire book. Thankfully , for me, it wasn't one, at least not all of it. I really enjoyed the writing and the setting of the story.
Review to come soon

This is a small non-fiction book about children's books and how they constantly ignite our imagination and create new perspectives. It points out that we should read children's books without feeling any shame. I really enjoyed reading it.

Where Dreams Descend is full of magic!
I really enjoyed reading this book and I practically devoured it. It is well-written fast-paced and the action starts from the beginning.
It's a fun and at the same time dark story with some mysterious characters.

I didn't expect to like this one, but I really did like it. It's kind of a retelling of a Persian myth and it reads like a real fairytale. The story is perfectly structured and well-paced.
Review to come soon.

It's a book about the filmmaking secrets behind the HP films regarding the wizarding homes and the Hogsmeade Village. It's the 10th volume out of 12 in total and I am intrigued to get them all. I really enjoyed it and I highly recommend it for any Harry Potter fan.
