Monthly Book Challenge: April Edition
April was slow for me (again) but I did finish Daughter of Daybreak very quickly. It was just soooooo good and such an easy read. Highly recommend this one and the one that comes before it, Daughter of Lazarus, if you’re trying to get back into reading. Also the author, Juniper Arden, is a local author I found a couple months back and sonfar I love her books!!
I did get father in Brisingr but still haven’t quite finished it. Only like 200 more pages to go! 😂😭
If you're looking to reignite your love for reading, picking up a compelling series like Juniper Arden's Daughter of Lazarus and its sequel Daughter of Daybreak is a great way to start. Both novels blend mythology and fantasy with relatable characters, making them accessible and engaging. I found that the interaction between gods, goddesses, and humans added a unique depth to the story that kept me turning pages quickly. For those who enjoy epic fantasy, like me, the Eragon series is an excellent choice to dive into. Brisingr, the third book in the series, continues the hero’s journey with immersive world-building and dynamic action scenes. Even when life gets busy, reading such books in chunks can be rewarding and motivating, as the story’s momentum builds with each page. One tip I’ve learned from my challenge is to allow yourself the flexibility to read at your own pace, especially with longer books. Sometimes, a slower month doesn’t mean less progress—it just means savoring the story more deeply. Also, exploring local authors like Juniper Arden supports fresh voices and often uncovers hidden gems in the fantasy genre. If you’re interested in mixing mythology with human drama or indulging in rich fantasy worlds, these books might just be perfect additions to your reading list for the upcoming months! Happy reading and enjoy the journey.
