The Raven King (The Raven Cycle #4) Maggie Stiefvater April 26th 2016 Scholastic ******Will probably contain spoilers for this book and the whole series just as a heads up****** I'm not going to try and write a normal review for The Raven King, because quite frankly I don't even know if I'm capable of doing proper reviews any more, and this is not the book or the series where I want to figure that out. That, and my love for this series transcends that of something which I can properly review, as I am completely biased and I *will* fight people about these books. On that note, this is also won't even entirely be about The Raven King on its own. Rather, it's a chance for me to go on and on and on and on and on about how much I love these books and Blue and those darn boys. My biggest fear about The Raven King, as is always the case with final books in a beloved series, was that it wouldn't be a good or fitting ending. I did not need to be worried. Rather than reac...
I officially graduated with my Master's degree (woo-hoo), so that meant this was a quieter year in terms of reviews.
I reviewed 37 different books, many of them fabulous. The ratings breakdown as follows:
8 Five Heart/A
18 Four Heart/B
11 Three Heart/C
I hit 200,000 views according to blogger (since my Google Analytics code stopped gathering data before my blogging hiatus). Woop!
I was lucky enough to work with some great authors and publishers this year. Thanks to Bridget from Bloomsbury, Abbie from Sourcebooks, Michelle from EgmontUSA, and the MacTeenBooks blog! Thanks to all the authors who took the time to be interviewed/guest post for me: Lisa and Laura Roecker, L.T. Getty, Lois Metzger, Janeal Falor, Jenny E. Miller, Stephanie Wardrop, Tracy Deebs, and Kim Askew and Amy Helmes! Woo, what a great year :)
2014 - I'll be reviewing some great books in January, including Cress by Marissa Meyer (look for a contest giving away all three books in the series so far), Going Rogue by Robin Benway (and another awesome contest).
Monthly Comment Contest - This is a new change for me, but I think it's a great way to give back to my readers. Each month, every time you comment on a review or non-meme post you will be entered into a contest for one of the books that I've reviewed. So, if you comment on four different reviews, that's four entries to win one of the books featured on my blog that month/year. This is going to be open internationally, too. As long as The Book Depository ships to you, you can win!
Here's to a fabulous and book-filled 2014 :)
