The Dreaded First Post

I never know how to start things like this. It’s always so awkward. But I’m awkward, so maybe that’s why. Anyways, I’m Courtney. I’m 29 years old, married, mom to an almost-two-year-old, and I’m a full time nurse. I’m the content moderator in Words & Whimsy Book Club. We do 3 club reads a month, have a ton of great recs, and have fun posts like Fan Casting and Fandom Friday. Oh, we also have live chats with best selling authors like Kendare Blake, Annie Sullivan, and Roshani Chokshi. Come check us out! I’m also a helper with Book Battle, the first game of it’s kind, where readers are sorted into teams and read books based on criteria to see who can get the most points in a month! We have bonuses and team challenges. It’s super fun and SO addicting!

Oh yeah, and I’m an avid reader.

I decided to start this blog because I have recently found out I really enjoy reviewing books. I started reviewing them when I started playing Book Battle. I could get 10 bonus points for my team by reviewing 10 different books. They didn’t have to be long reviews. Just a couple of sentences. But as time went on, I found the reviews got longer and longer. Then I found I wanted a space to really share my thoughts and feelings, not just a few sentences. So Mithah Reads was born. Well, the name came from my instagram, which came from my wow character’s name, but that’s a whole ‘nother story.

So this blog will mainly be my book reviews. I’ll review every book I read for book battle, which will be roughly 15 books a month. I also plan to feature a start of the month post, which will show my TBR for the month, and what book I plan to read for what criteria. I also participate in The Book Democracy‘s Book Bingo and The Booket List‘s TAG games, so I’ll list those as well. It’s like a puzzle trying to get a book to fit for all three games! I love it! I’ll do a monthly round up as well, showing which criteria I completed, my favorite and least favorite books read, any DNFs, and a comprehensive list of all my ratings! What fun!

One more thing I plan on showcasing are my book boxes! I am currently subscribed to Owlcrate and Lillypost. I have ordered the February and March boxes of Spellbound. I just can’t make myself subscribe to two book boxes. I’m scared of getting duplicate books! In the last half of February, I’ll be reviewing Owlcrate, Lillypost, Spellbound, and my January Shelflove that I’m waiting on. 🙂

I think that’s enough of an intro post. You know why I’m here. You know what I’m going to do. Let’s get this thing started! The first book I’ll be reviewing is an ARC I received from Netgalley – Corpse and Crown by Alisa Kwitney. I’m currently 65% in, so look for it in the next couple of days!
