#AllergictoChunksters has inspired me to tackle The Last Magician again - I started it 2 years ago, and didn‘t make it very far. I‘m determined to get through it because, as you can see, I have slowly collected the rest of the series.

*Edited* I decided to break it up into manageable chunks bc the chapters are only about 5 pages each. I figure, if I play this right, I could spend all of 2025 with this crew - through all 4 books. #ChapterADay

This is the first in a four book series, set in different timelines. Esta can time travel using magical ability. She steals magical artifacts and brings them to the Professor. She is sent to New York in 1902 to steal a book and stop the Order, who wants to control magic and mageus. It's a good fantasy story.

And here‘s my #bookspin for the month!
This one didn‘t capture my attention like I wanted but it‘s good. I still love the cover though!
#bookspinbingo

An intriguing/ok book. Read for the July #Buzzwordathon - Last 3.5/5

I got this for Christmas and the cover is so eye catching! Now for me to get to it!
I‘m trying to reacquaint myself with my TBR while on a book buying ban for the month.

WoW!

Last book for May, finished just in time!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I really loved this book, especially the last 100 pages. I was in the edge of my seat!

I feel like I was supposed to like this book a lot more than I did. I kept seeing the comparison to Six of Crows (which I loved) and I think that was a big part of the problem, because it wasn‘t. And I just felt bored with it too often. Too many things had to happen to push the book along, instead of the characters having to actually work through the plot in an organic way. I don‘t know. I‘m mulling it over. Not sure if I‘ll do book two or not.

First book in a YA time travel trilogy.

I have lost track of who to tag. If you want to join in just post your favorite book covers for seven days and tag a friend. Easy!

I was enthralled by this book! Looking forward to the next one.

@Soubhiville You‘re so awesome! Thank you so much for all of the goodies that you added to the traveling book box! You even remembered The Weirdos! They‘ll be so excited to have a new toy to play with. I‘ll give it to them as soon as their mouths heal a bit from their dental work from yesterday. Those socks are amazing (as are the treats!), and I think I‘m one of the few on earth that hasn‘t read Simon yet! I really appreciate you! #travelingbook

I don‘t want to say too much, since this book is traveling to several more Littens before making its way back to @LibrarianRyan . I did enjoy the book enough to call it a pick, but it was close. I thought the second half was much stronger than the first.

As you can see Ryan, your book was the perfect test for my book hugger, and Froedrick And I both strongly approve! I like the soft feeling of it as I‘m holding the book.

#travelingbook

It‘s a beautiful day for reading outside! I‘m working my way through @LibrarianRyan ‘s #TravelingBook!

I started this #travelingbook this morning, and found it contains a #bookishmap! That‘s always a fun discovery 😊. #LittenLoveBingo

Oh my gosh @Avanders ! What a lovely surprise 😁📚. Thank you so much for including these gifts with the #travelingbook! Both the books are from my TBR, and I can‘t wait to devour them. I love tea, and the notecards, bunny pad, socks, and bookmarks are spot on for me. You‘re incredibly sweet. Froedrick says thank you for the box and tissue paper, which he left only for long enough to photobomb, but is back to lounging in now.
Thank you 💕📚

The #yaedition #travelingbook is back in rotation after taking a hiatus. It‘s at a restock stage where I need to send the next person in line the rest of the mailing list. But before I do that I want to check that those people still want to participate since this traveling book is a year and a half behind schedule.

If you have been tagged below it means at some point you showed interest. Would you like to stay or exit the rotation.

Yay!! A super exciting #litsymail #bookmail weekend!!

Thank you @Marmie7 for the yummy coffee, chocolate (which I‘m sharing w my chocolate-obsessed 2 yo 😄), mug and page flags, as well as this month‘s #cbbc #coffeebeanbookclub selection! ☕️📖♥️♥️

And thank you @Lizpixie for the fun book and beautiful bookmark, along with the #travelingbook , journal, and pens, all the way from Australia! So excited!! ✈️📖♥️♥️

Magic, time travel, feisty main character ... liking this so far.

Can't exactly remember whether there was #FirstSnowOnBrooklyn in this novel, but I think there was snow at some point and Brooklyn.

Gah! I'm reading too many books.

After 10 weeks of school and required reads, I can finally sit down (or work out) with a for fun read xD This book has been on my #tbrpile since it came out bc of that cover 👌👌👌 #audiobook #amreading #thelastmagician #bookstagram #magic #timetravel #fantasy #multiplepovs #thief #ya #youngadultbooks

What a great story!! Its about time travel, magic, betrayal, murder and then some! Great twists at the end that i did not see coming. A must read! I give it 4 stars.

How cool is this cover!! Pretty good so far too :)

Anyone read it? I can't wait!

Scavaging my shelves for a good escape read.

I've been reading The Great Library series, but they're making me too anxious to be enjoyable.. 📚

Almost finished, loving it 💕📚

What‘s on the top of everyone‘s TBR? I‘m curious guys. I‘m rereading my favorite series, Harry Potter!

☆☆☆☆

Well written, interesting characters and cool world, but didn't have the emotional punch I wanted

I did not finish the book even though the story has an intriguing premise. I gave up about 60% of the way through which was frustrating because I wanted to know how the story ended. However, I felt the direction the author took the MC Esta was shallow and cliched. Perhaps YA enthusiasts can overlook this, along with some of the other stunted character issues, but I couldn't.

I actually bought this book because someone posted a photo of it on Instagram and I liked the cover. It has all the right ingredients: history, magic, time travel a magician... and it turned out to be everything I expected it to be. And the plot twist was incredible! I can‘t wait for the second one to come out.

Oh look, 2 more books I haven't read yet 🙄.

Good morning.

Ready for the next day of #MountTBRReadathon.

Starting with a bit of #audiobreakfasting and #audioknitting.

Good Morning. It's 8.30-ish in my part of the world. Last day before Summer Time - Daylight Saving time.

I've already #audiobreakfasted and then did some much needed #audiocleaning (the top of the kitchen cupboards - yikes, it looked like I'd never done that before).

#MountTBRChallenge @Jess7 @Tiffy_Reads

I'm joining the #MountTBRReadathon.

Here's my #stack, should we want to call it thus. I would love to finish the books on my currently reading shelf.

Will probably do some #audioknitting along the way.

My daughter was a darling this morning. I found her reading in bed at 5.20am and she got up soon after.
We had a relaxed morning, no shoe lace trouble, and she even headed to school with the neighbours' kids. 🎉

I'm enjoying the tagged #audiobook and my tea while the dishwasher is busy.
The book is very good @kgriffith.

Yes, we coloured some eggs.

Started this to sample as an #audiobook. Magic meets 'Timeline' - can't stop. @RachelO @kgriffith

Will have to try the D.O.D.O. another day.

Cannot wait to dig into this one when I finish my current read! Thank you so much @Smashlee 💙

Does anyone else think this cover is channeling the Neverending Story? I see the Orin.

#bookandablanketswap

Came home to a box of books! 😍😍😍

#bookoutlethaul

We‘re supposed to get another 5-8 inches of snow tonight, so I‘m at my dad‘s taking full advantage of covered parking and free food 👍🏽

Who‘s ready for SPRING?!

I received the #YAFantasy #TravelingBook yesterday, thanks both to @cobwebmoth for sending it & to @LibrarianRyan for choosing this book to send. I‘ll be reading it as soon as I‘ve finished with my #PBC book & #LMPBC book👍

#Starfish was so beautiful and poetic and sad and fulfilling and just wonderful. Now I‘m snuggling up with #TheLastMagician while watching the Olympic Games!
