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...
You may be thinking, 'What is Cicely doing, starting a new series of monthly round-up posts in March?!'. You may not be thinking anything at all. But I just wanted to start doing round ups at the end of every month because I think that I post a lot of reviews and read a lot of books that I feel sometimes don't get the attention they deserve and I want to highlight them again and also just to keep track of everything each month, you know? So hopefully I'll be doing a round up of what I've read/reviewed each month. I hope you enjoy! (Just give me a couple of months to figure out how I want to format it and what have you. Bare with me.)

Books reviewed:
I didn't really post anything of any importance that wasn't a review this month, but if I ever do then I'll be sure to mention them as well. Also, I'll try and make the next one look more visually interesting or something. I'm just kind of trying to figure out how I want to do this. If I was better at the tech-ier side of things than it'd look a lot better (then again, my whole blog would look a lot more fancypants.) So, yeah.
Also, unrelated, but who watched Doctor Who yesterday? I was surprised by how much I actually enjoyed it, but I think that that was mainly because it reminded of me the David Tennant days back when I actually genuinely loved and cared about the show. I still have a lot of issues with Moffat's writing though.
And, I think more important than Doctor Who, Game of Thrones comes back! You guys have no idea how ridiculously excited I am about this. I've been rewatching the show in preparation and boy I can't believe how much I forgot how good it is. Honestly, it's one of the best things on telly (but seriously if you're under 16 IGNORE THIS PART I do not want to be held responsible for making people curious about a show that it completely inappropriate for them)
So yes. March has been pretty good!
