Hello everyone! Today, I'm sharing my wrap up and mini reviews for  Mythothon  which ran for the entire month of April and was hosted by  Louise @ Foxes and Fairy Tales .  This round was based on Arthurian mythology and I was part of Team Merlin where I completed 11 of 15 books. You can see my original TBR here .  I think I did a pretty great job and read some good books along the way.  Keep reading to see my thoughts on the books I completed for this readathon: Team Merlin Prompt - Read a book with a witch or wizard. ❋  ❋  ❋   ❋  Hollow Empire  ( Poison Wars  #2) by Sam Hawke  is a great wrap up to a wonderful fantasy duology. It was so great to be back in this world and see these characters again.  As with its predecessor, Hawke's world-building is absolutely outstanding. I can't wait to see whatever Sam Hawke decides to do next because I can just about guarantee it will be fantastic. My review is also on Goodreads . Quest Prompts: Sir Lancelot (Arthur’s greatest companio

On Friday's I take part in three weekly link ups - The Friday 56, hosted by  Freda's Voice , and Book Beginnings, hosted by  Rose City Reader .  For The Friday 56, you choose a book, a book you have just finished, a book you are about to start, your current read, and share a line or a few lines that grab you (but don't spoil anything) from page 56 or 56% of the way through the ebook. Post it and share your post's url on Freda's most recent Friday 56 post. As for Book Beginnings, you share the first sentence or so and your initial thoughts, impressions, or whatever else it inspires, and then link up your post's url with Rose City Reader.  Happy Friday everyone!  This week I'm spotlighting the  May The Force Read With You Readathon books that I've just finished, Thieftaker ( Thieftaker Chronicles #1) by D.B. Jackson .  So far this sounds like it's going to be a really cool historical fantasy novel set pre-American Revolution.  Plus, just look at that
