Hi guys, I hope you are all well. We’re roughly half way through the year so I thought I’d share the best books I’ve read in the last six months. Since I’m writing this a few weeks before posting, I can’t tell you exactly how many books I’ve read so far but at the point of writing this I’ve read 33 book, which means I’m behind on my Goodreads reading challenge. I have eight books to share with you guys so let’s get started.

• Under Heaven / Guy Gavriel Kay / ★★★★★ / 

• The Beast Player / Nahoko Uehashi / ★★★★★

• Revelations / book 4 of the Shardlake series / C. J. Sansom / ★★★★★

• Wrath of Empire / book 2 of the God of Blood and Powder trilogy / Brian McClellan / ★★★★★

• The Bitter Twins / book 2 of the Winnowing Flame trilogy / Jen Williams / ★★★★ / review

• An Echo of Things to Come / book 2 of the Licanius trilogy / James Islington / ★★★★ / review

• Fool’s Assassin / book 1 in the Fitz and the Fool trilogy / Robin Hobb / ★★★★

• The Initiate Brother duology / Sean Russell / ★★★★ / review

Honourable mentions: The Dragon Queen by William Andrews, Heartstone by C. J. Sansom, Pachinko by Min Jin Lee, River of Stars by Guy Gavriel Kay and The Wolf by Leo Carew.

I’m having a pretty good reading year so far and found a couple new all time favourite books. Hopefully the second half of the year will be good in terms of reading too. What are your favourite books you’ve read so far this year? Have you read any of the books I mentioned. I hope you are having a wonderful day and I will see you next time.
