August review roundup

Hello dear reader(s) and welcome back to another episode of Nessa reads and reviews! It’s been a while since I last posted and the non-activity is mostly due to the combination of work, having family over and very little free time. Sadly (well at least for me it’s sad, I don’t know about you guys) the only reading I managed to in August was during Dewey’s Reverse Readathon that was held on the 2^nd of August. However, even that was disrupted by my job and life in general. But at least I managed to read 3 books on the Kindle app on my mobile phone during that weekend so I’ll take my victories where I can get them. 😀

 

April’s Readathon and reviews

Hello dear reader(s) and welcome back to the blog! I mentioned at the end of my last review that I’ll be participating in Dewey’s Readathon that would be held on Saturday April 6^th. The official start time was on Saturday at 8:00 EDT, or 14:00 CEST for Croatian readers. April’s Readathon ended a couple of hours ago and since it’s raining this afternoon in Split I decided to write down some musings about the event and review my to-read pile in one go. Two birds, one blog post. 😀

 

Review: Rivers of London series

Hello dear reader(s) and welcome back to another edition of Nessa reads and reviews! In today’s review I’m going to write about Ben Aaronovitch’s ongoing series – Rivers of London. Since January is generally considered to be a depressing month, I decided that I’m going to start 2019 right and read something fast paced, page turning and incredibly fun(ny)! Hence the rereading of all the books in this series, including the newest book that was published a few months ago. However, the ongoing nature of the series caused a reviewing conundrum: should I review this as a series, despite being aware that more content is coming, or should I review each book on its own? After thinking about it, I’ve decided to review the books that have been published so far as a series, and review forthcoming books/novels/comics separately as they come. Essentially, I’m going to decide about the forthcoming content on a case by case basis. 🙂
