Good Morning Everyone!
Another month another book haul. I have to say I had a lot more control this past month compared to previous months. But this was also the month of pre-orders.

Thank you for coming to my little spot on the internet! My name is Mary and and I’m the person behind Sophril Reads. I love to read and talk about books especially when I have a cup of tea in my hands. I started this blog back in March of 2018 so hopefully you will find something on here that you like 🙂
I began this blog as something just for me after a near death scare, and I have continued it because I love talking about books and supporting authors. How long will I continue this journey? I really don’t know but I hope you enjoy the ride with me!
All of the reviews on this page are based on my own thoughts and opinions. I have gotten really good at spotting books that I am going to enjoy so that is why there are not many unhappy reviews.
Please see below for my reading tastes and my rating system.
Reading Tastes
Since starting my blog I have learned a lot about my reading tastes. I have grown in my reading tastes over the last few years so here is an updated list of what I prefer to read:
Adult Fantasy
Steampunk
Sherlockian Mysteries
1800s Historical Fiction (Taking place in Britain)
Some Regency Romance (must have a strong female lead)
Manga (mostly taking place in Feudal Japan)
I still enjoy some YA books but not like I used to.
Rating System
5 Stars – The book blew me away
4 Stars – I loved it
3 Stars – I liked it
2 Stars – I really did not like the book.
It is rare for me to rate anything below 3 stars anymore. If I am not loving the book I usually DNF it. However, if I have read more than 70% of the book and I just can’t read any more of it I might rate it 2 stars. Otherwise, I do not rate books that I DNF.

I wanted to read Pride and Prejudice and Mistletoe last Christmas but it wasn’t out yet 😂 😂 But I still want to read it!! And the His Fair Assassin Series (Grave Mercy) is one of my favorite series!!! There was supposed to be a fourth book coming out but now it looks like it will be part of its own duology instead of the 4th book in this trilogy.

Grave Mercy is one of my favorite reads. I hope you end up loving it! I’m thinking of picking up Pride and Prejudice and Mistletoe come December. It sounds really cute and I’ve heard good things. Happy October!
