bailedJust not in the mood for this one. I know so many love it. #hailthebail
It has been a DNF sort of month! But hey another #bookspinbingo
I got my Owlcrate box with the special edition of The Raven Boys! I LOVE it! ❤️📚❤️📚
pickThis is a qualified "pick" since it's not a standalone and so one has to read the rest of the cycle to get the whole story. My daughter has been asking me to read this for 5 years or so, and I finally picked it up. It's different than I expected, and while I am highly skeptical about rich prep school boys being so invested in a quest like this, I still found myself drawn in. I'm not sure if I'll bother reading the other books, though.
@Readergrrl it arrived today thank you I am going to try and read it after I get the boys down for bed. I really hope I like it seeing I have not been able to get into any of the other books she has written. #LMPBC #Round15 #GroupX @KateReadsYA @persephone1408 @suvata
pickI enjoyed this YA novel that follows a group of teens on their quest for answers about ley lines, Glendower, and even themselves. I liked Stiefvater‘s writing, but I can see that her writing has matured over the years: some confusing subplots and I really wanted to hear more about the villain, Barrington Whelk. Potentially such a great creepy character. Maybe next book in the series? Overall, I can see why this has been such a popular read!3.5/5⭐️
pickI re-read The Raven Boys and loved it all over again* Join LiterALLy BOOKiSh on Facebook for our discussions of the series.

This book is a treasure! I absolutely loved every single thing about it. I honestly did not expect to love this one as much as I did and I am so glad I finally read it.
pick4.4⭐️ it kept me entertained, engaged and questioning. It was not left on a cliff hanger, but with so many questions unanswered. Looking forward to reading the second book next month.
pickI don‘t know if I‘ve tried to read this before or just looked it up, but the beginning was familiar to me.
I really liked this one and plan to continue the series. I really liked Blue and all the “raven boys”.
I picked this up because it came up on a list for #foundfamily and I needed it for #pop22
@persephone1408 I just got this delivered to my door and woohoo I cannot wait to dive in 🤩
I read your about me and I love that you shared a little part of yourself, that was amazing and it's taking everything in me not to look through each page to see what you jotted down hahahah! So happy you are apart of our group. 💜
pickThis book is super good. I've got it ready to go @KateReadsYA and I'm gonna send it as soon as I have a day off. I have to for fear of forgetting lol. Super stoked to get you guy's opinion on it.
@KateReadsYA @Readergrrl @Endowarrior21
pickBlue comes from a psych family but she is not a seeker until one day she saw someone during a ritual. Behind her story there is a curse? There are family secrets she wants to know related with this unexpected visitor and the elite school near to her home. I enjoyed this YA story with all the fantasy and paranormal elements. Sometimes it was slow but once the mystery intertwine various elements and characters, the story became so interesting.

pickThe first time I read this book, it was 2016 and I‘d just finished my freshman year of college. Now it‘s 2021 and I‘m in the middle of my second year of graduate school—and I still really enjoyed this book! I completely forgot how it ended, but I did remember the mid-book twist, which made several things before it make much more sense! Glad I gave this one a reread! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
1. Tagged!
2. I love a notion setup a found last year—a really nice way to track books on my phone AND computer!
3. I actually have no idea, lol. I usually don‘t google books!

Got this collection for just £6 including P+P. Anyone read them? How are they? They've been unsure on them for a while but couldn't turn this bargain down. Happy reading and weekend everyone 📚❤📖 @CymbaX13
pickFinished this right before Station 19 & Grey‘s Anatomy today! I have been wanting to read this for a long time. It‘s about a girl whose mother and “aunts” are psychics and a boy who is looking for a long-lost Welsh King. It‘s full of interesting facts and relationships among friends. I am anxious to read the next one! #100YEARS100BOOKS #58 #BookSpinBingo #BS #13 #BFC21 #SERIES2021 #YApril #ThankfulAthon
My ever-increasing ill health has me going through a lot more audiobooks (vs print) compared to what I used to. What can people tell me about audible vs scribd vs chirp or wherever you get your audiobooks from? The six a month I can get from hoopla is just not cutting it! Thanks all!
pickI've been meaning to read this series for actual years & can't believe I am finally doing it!! I really enjoyed this one even though in many ways it feels more like a set-up for a series than its own story. The characters are engaging & I really love Stiefvater's writing.
Someone gave me this in a Litsy swap back in 2019 & I can't remember who (before I started writing these things down haha) so thank you, benefactor whose name has faded into⬇️
"There are only two reasons a non-seer would see a spirit on St. Marks Eve. Either you're his true love . . . or you killed him." I especially love this quote from the raven boys because it easily gets the reader hooked. Mentioning true loves or spirits lets us know that there is a bit of romance and fantasy in the book. @MrsBabki
My reading wrap up for February. So far 2021 has been a great year in terms of books!
This month‘s average rating:
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 1/2
I just started The Raven Boys and I am currently on page 32. The book starts off pretty slow but it looks like it's going to be a good read. The Raven Boys is a fantasy fiction novel with a bit of romance and mystery. I really like Maggie Stiefvater's writing style and have enjoyed some of her other books so I am sure this one will also be quite good. @MrsBabki
pickI don‘t know what‘s gotten into me lately but I‘ve become a serious book crier. I won‘t spoil it for anyone who hasn‘t read it yet but I just finished this book and the ending had me bawling. This book is super weird and the beginning is slow, but it‘s worth it I swear. Side note: I will personally fight anyone who tries to hurt Noah.
