Weekly Wrap-up: July 14-20

I'm sure you guys can tell what I was obsessed with this week! this next week will be pretty busy with lots of work and lots of books on my tbr!

Completed:
Shadow and Bone (The Grisha #1) - Leigh Bardugo: 5 stars! Why didn't anyone recommend this to me directly?! It was fantastic! Good thing I already have a copy of Siege and Storm or I'd be moved to violence.
"The Tailor" (The Grisha #1.5) - Leigh Bardugo: 5 stars. A good background story about Genya, who is my favorite secondary character in the series.
The Grass is Always Greener (Belles #3) - Jen Calonita: 3 stars. As many people have said, this feels more like a middle book than the final book of a trilogy. I enjoyed it, but I wish Jen would write a fourth book. The series doesn't quite feel complete. Another would wrap everything up a bit more, I think.
"The With of Duva" (The Grisha #0.5) - Leigh Bardugo: 5 stars. Sooo creepy, and with a great twist ending!
"The Too-Clever Fox" (The Grisha #2.5) - Leigh Bardugo: 5 stars.

Currently Reading:
Gameboard of the Gods (Age of X #1) - Richelle Mead. Another solid adult series for Richelle. Really good so far!
Transparent - Natalie Whipple.

New to my bookshelf this week:
For Darkness Shows the Stars - Diana Peterfreund (library)
The Sea of Monsters graphic novel - Rick Riordan (library)

    1. YES. I totally loved Gameboard. I know it's getting some rotten reviews from people who are expecting it to be more Vampire Academy, but it's new and exciting. I like seeing a futuristic society that *gasp* isn't dystopian for once. Another win for Mead!
