Love love love this book. The fantasy aspects are amazing and the character development is on point.

#LittensLoveRomance #ACOTAR Testing the waters: if I were to host a buddy read for book 2 after we finish this one, separate from our regular #LittensLoveRomance read, would there be any interest in that? Let me know 🤷♀️ Ch.28,29,30: Feyre is returned home - but it‘s a much different home than she remembers. Tamlin‘s generosity has elevated her family so that they are better off than they were 8 years before. ⬇️
I had heard so many things about this series so was keen to read the first book as part of #litsylovesromance.
Magical lands, violence, adventure, beasts, faerie‘s - there was so much going on and that doesn‘t include the romance. The relationship between Tamlin and Feyre was swoon worthy .
A seductive, adventure that the author detailed perfectly. I can‘t wait to read the next one.
“We need hope, or else we cannot endure”
#LittensLoveRomance #ACOTAR Ch.25,26,27: A lot happened in these chapters but mainly we‘ll focus on Rhysand, the dark High Lord linked to the *she* we‘ve been afraid of. Yeah, he seems like a jerk but he knows what‘s going on. Tamlin is still keeping things from Feyre - to protect her or himself and his realm? Can he really send her home? Will she leave her newfound home now that she finally feels comfortable there? She might not have a choice. ⬇️
#LittensLoveRomance #ACOTAR Ch.22,23,24: Feyre is definitely liking and trusting Tamlin more - enough to show him her paintings, and to dress to impress. And he shows her what his world is really like. I feel better knowing that his court is not completely abandoned as it appeared to be. There are many more fairies there than Feyre could see. ⬇️
Getting my Buddy reads read for tomorrow- The Bell Jar and ACOTAR are really engaging me, I‘m having a hard time with my other reads 🤷🏻♀️ there are worst problems to have on a snowy long weekend when the whole night can be #hyggehour
#LittensLoveRomance #ACOTAR Ch.19,20,21: We learn more about the Faerie world and about the concept of Mates. Could Tamlin and Feyre be destined or is it not in the cards? But things are starting to go well between Feyre and Tamlin, that is until Feyre goes against his orders and sneaks out to the Fire Njght. Feyre and her curiosity! She lands in such dangerous situations. ⬇️
I picked up this book for a Litsy read along and it was so good I couldn‘t just read 2 chapters a day. I now know why Romantasy is such a popular new genre. It‘s romance with a thrilling, action packed B-storyline. This story felt like a beauty and the beast spin off, which made me enjoy it more. It also had a little Psyche trials of proving her love of Eros to Aphrodite spin too. I love that particular Greek myth. So, all in all I‘d recommend it!
#LittensLoveRomance #ACOTAR Ch.16,17,18: Feyre is starting to care for and understand more about these faeries. They aren‘t all the vicious creatures she was warned about - although there do seem to be a lot of dangers in The Spring Court. And who is this terrible lady faerie we keep hearing whispers about? Tamlin seems to be trying more with Feyre. ⬇️
#LittensLoveRomance #ACOTAR Ch: 13,14,15: Oy, Feyre does a good job of getting into trouble, doesn‘t she? If this were my book, I‘d be luxuriating in baths, food and the library and just avoiding all that danger- it‘d be very boring haha. But that‘s not who Feyre is. She likes to test boundaries. She‘s still working for her family even when she‘s away from them. ⬇️
I did NOT want to like this book but gots say I am hooked! #acotar #sarahjmaas #fantasy
#LittensLoveRomance #ACOTAR Ch.10,11,12: we learn more about Tamlin-that he‘s a great warrior-and Prythian, and catch glimpses of conversations that tell us things are not great in Fae-land. Tamlin and Lucien are worried and Feyre hates being in the dark. She‘s brave for digging and asking the questions she does. I wouldn‘t have the guts. But where does she fit in? Is there another reason Tamlin brought her there? Why is he running out of time?
#LittensLoveRomance #ACOTAR Ch.7-9: Mmm Feyre gets to eat. I‘m here for it - let‘s fatten this poor girl up. Feyre tries to plan a way to escape. She disses Tamlin when he offers her a tour (brave or dumb) and seeks out the foxy Lucien to get him to plead her case with Tamlin. She should have just played nice with Tamlin in hopes of doing it herself - but what do I know. But Lucien sees right through her plan and basically puts a stop to it. ⬇️
And so I have begun the ACOTAR series I keep being told about. Am I going to like it?
#acotar #fantasy #romantasy
#LittensLoveRomance #ACOTAR Ch.4-6: definite Beauty & the beast vibes now, as Feyre is forced to go to the Faerie land as prisoner/guest - her punishment for killing a faerie wolf. Of course, she‘s desperate to escape and return to her family - who, let‘s face it, don‘t stand a chance without her. I‘d be soaking in this vacation if I were her…⬇️
#LittensLoveRomance #ACOTAR Ch.1-3: what an interesting beginning! A lot of information but it was delivered in a blunt, easy way so it was easy to follow. I hate her family - I feel bad that Feyre (pronounced Fair-ruh) is taking care of them and feels bound to them and bound to her terrible existence. They‘re useless. I said it. But A promise is a promise and Feyre made a serious one to her mother - ⬇️

I love the names of these countries. Enjoying the book so far 📖👍🏻
Finally starting this tonight. Looking forward to sharing my thoughts with the other #litsylovesromance readers 📖
Repost for @StayCurious
#LittensLoveRomance Our next book is definitely one of the most hyped out there. The ACOTAR fanbase can be rabid haha. Let‘s see if it‘s worth all the fuss. This is considered “romantsy”. We‘ll star Feb 10 and read 3 chapters a day. I believe it is available on Everand for those that subscribe or hopefully your library has copies. Please let @StayCurious know if you want to be tagged in her daily posts.
Late to the party! 😬
I didn't find this the addictive, compulsive page turner everyone said it was. I found it VERY tedious in the middle but it picked up when Rhysand was introduced. I hope the rest of the series picks up as this was just a Beauty and the Beast retelling 🤣
I am, however, getting strange vibes from Tamlin... so I will finish the series and hope it grips me!

#25Alive! Day 26: My #GuiltyPleasure that I have not even started reading yet since practically all of the young people I know have been raving about #Acotar. Is it really worth all the hype, fellow readers?
Great read! Very well-written and fast paced. Not the usual genre I'd go for, but I still enjoyed it very much! #BookOneOf2025
“That‘s what happens when you‘re responsible for lives other than your own, isn‘t it? You do what you have to do.”
Book one of 2025 is a Christmas gift from my best friend. Not usually a genre I read but I've seen high reviews for this book, so I will give it a shot! #tbr #WhatIRead #BookOneOf2025

Last book of 2024! I did like it, but didn‘t love it. I‘ve heard the second one is amazing so I‘ll give it a go! I did enjoy the last 100 pages or so the most!
Did anyone else notice how many times she vomited?? Or was it just me?! 😂

I haven‘t had much reading time, but I am enjoying this one while I wait on the books of The Crowns of Nyaxia series by Carissa Broadbent to arrive! So excited! It‘s the little things ❤️
Have you read the tagged? Are you a fan?!
#LitsyLove
Merry Christmas 🎄
Kinda slow but overall good. I‘m interested enough to keep going in the series thanks to everyone saying the next books are better.
Can‘t believe I waited so long to read this!!! I haven‘t read a book this fast in a looonnngggg time and now I must have the second one!! If you love fantasy, this is a must read. It‘s been around for a long time but if you have been putting it off, don‘t wait! As I wait for book two to arrive I‘m trying to choose one of the books in the background. My reading bug is back! 📚
⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
I started this on my Kindle awhile ago, and for some reason, it just didn‘t grab me right away - I must not have been in the mood for it. I know it‘s such a beloved series, so I thought I would give it another try with the dramatized adaptation audiobooks. I can understand the appeal and the potential - I imagine the rest of the books in the series will only get better now that the story is set up. 🎧
I finally jumped on the bandwagon and started this series. Full of tropes - unreasonably feisty heroine, good at hunting with a bow, pretty enough but fairly ordinary except for her feistiness, is sentenced to fairyland a la Beauty and the Beast. Incredibly hot male fairies find her irresistibly attractive. She has to save the fairy realm against impossible odds using cunning and bravery. The fresh writing made it all enjoyable. On to book 2!
Let‘s see if anyone can guess the book!
Feyre and Tamlin
Returned the #audiobooks via #hoopla
This was an enjoyable book! Totally loved the “Beauty and the Beast” vibes.
The romance was heartwarming 💘
Believable characters, liked their flaws, and how they still had hope
A lot of tragedy is experienced by the characters, yet they still live with the pain and seek justice
I‘ll continue the series. I hear book two is the best of them.
1. A rainy or snowy day with blankets and candles
2. Well I had a bunch of nonfiction lined up but after today I started tagged to escape reality
Thanks @peaKnit @Eggs #wondrouswednesday
Started this #audiobook and got through three hours in my first sitting. Seems very Beauty and the Beast so far. I like it, waiting for some action to start soon.
I have this book on kindle, IRL and audio- and with my brain fog lifting (thanks to HRT) I decided to reread and see if i still enjoyed it - and I did. I love a Beauty and The Beast type story and really enjoyed the Fae and storyline. It made a huge difference having all three formats available.
I went in with low expectations because it is so popular. I was delightfully surprised by this book and I enjoyed the story and love interest. My only complaint would be the slower pacing in the beginning.
I finally got around to reading this. While the book was really fun and I still am curious as to what happens next, I just felt like some things were ridiculous. The twist/big reveal was pretty obvious and a little bit too manipulated for the sake of making it make sense with everything that‘s happened. I did enjoy the second half a lot though, and I love how dark and gory it is. It‘s not a cute story, it‘s ugly in a good way. Also Nesta>>>>>>>
Margot Robbie has hinted that there might be a screen adaption of 'A Court of Thorns and Roses' coming our way.
Last year, she was spotted with the author of the series Sarah J. Maas after news of a previous TV series with Hulu fell through.
When asked if her production company is creating a series on the hugely popular books, Margot replied: "We all need that - the world needs that. I'll see what I can do."
#ACourtOfThornsAndRoses #bookvsmovie
Great read. Not my typical read. Bought entire series.looking forward to next book. 4 of 5 stars
"Be glad of your human heart, Feyre. Pity those who don't feel anything at all.”
While I loved the character building during this book, and how the actual story went, I liked the rest of the books in this series more. The first book felt, to me, more like a setup for the real story, than the actual story. On that note, I couldn't put this (or any other of this series) book down!
