pickThis was a really good read for me. Almost too slow for me at the start. But picked up nicely. Completely that "I'm missing something..." feeling. Because if the pacing it would give this book a 3.75/5 stars???⭐
I'm almost half way through the book and I am so happy that it got a turn it needed to keep me reading the story. I might be able to finish the book tonight!! Will decide once done if I'm going to pick up the next book really soon or some time next year.
pickI‘m giving this a pick, even though my enthusiasm is a bit lacking. I‘m into the concept: meta fairy tale, a la a dark Neverending Story. But it did feel very YA (read: angry and angsty), which I think I could‘ve tolerated/overlooked more if I had read the book. The narrator for the audiobook had teen angst dripping from every sentence, whether or not it was warranted. That made this book difficult for me to enjoy; not the story itself.
Reached Chapter 4 of the book. This is actually the first book where it feels good to take my time reading it
Enjoying this book very much. This is going to be one of the books I read or finish reading for the 24hr #readathon this weekend!!!
pickThis was an interesting and creepy take on fairytales and the intersection between worlds. It has a beautiful cover and is appropriate reading for October!
pickMUST READ!!
I loved this story so much!! There is fantastically creepy magic and good writing. I was sucked in pretty much immediately and I just can't get enough of The Hinterland. This reads fast and easy, but feels super complex and heavy in the best of ways. The world building is sly and super, with magical pieces dripping in here and there through the pages. This is a seriously hugable book and I CAN NOT WAIT to get my hands on the sequel!!
Holy crap I am LOVING this book. I can‘t get enough and I both want to know the end and never want to finish. Sooooo good!!
Listening to this creepy bit of fantastic was the BEST idea for a spooky October read! I am LOVING The Hazel Wood by Melissa Albert!!
Starting this book tonight. I hope it‘s at least a slightly creepy read. 🕷 🎃 👻
When I come home again, my eyes are brown, and faultless, and you could almost, almost say they looked like my mother‘s. Ella Proserpine‘s.

pickI‘m a sucker for stories based on fairytales, so this was an enjoyable listen.

I nominate @Lovesbooks87
I have been admiring this cover for a while now so I was excited to see it for less than $2 today. Snatched it up without a thought!
Y‘all gonna have to bear with me. I just had the most exciting book haul. I found books I‘ve been looking for already, memoirs (my obsession), additions to series I‘ve started, and even a HP coloring book. All together 27 books for $26.something only! I‘ll be posting some pictures of my favorite finds! #goodwill
I‘m going to put this down for now. I don‘t feel like I‘m reading it at the right time in my life. Maybe I‘ll come back to it in the future
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I finished it! I spent all my break at work reading this, and I‘m so glad to have it done, though now I need the next one immediately. I absolutely loved this! #summersendreadathon @Clwojick
pickI was drawn in from the beginning and couldn‘t put the book down; but like...shit got dark real fast. I kind of feel like she threw me a curve ball that I didn‘t see coming and she threw it with seriously the turn of the page. So alright, I can handle that but now where are we going? Oh somewhere darker still. Cool cool.
I‘m conflicted and I don‘t know how I should feel! What am I supposed to do with these feelings? Feelings are yucky!
so-soHmmm. Loved the concept and ideas in this creepy take on fairy tales. Also enjoyed the twist and some of the writing was evocative. However, I felt the execution was lacking, and at times the story seemed to rush past plot points and suddenly I was reading a very different story. Didn‘t like the end at all but I see there is a sequel. Not sure I‘d bother reading it. Only okay for me overall #kittensoflitsy #klausthekitty #readingwithcats
I wanted to read 100 pages of The Hazel Wood today, and I‘ve hit that goal! I‘m loving it so far, it just sucked me right in! #summersendreadathon
Quick read & so much fun! Already pre-ordering the next one! #TheHazelWood
Started reading an ebook from the library of the Hazel Wood during my break at work to keep going with the #summersendreadathon! I got through 65 pages of it already, which isn‘t half bad!
pickFinished this morning but then had to run errands. Really good! A teeny bit creepier than I normally read (and I know for most of you this is not creepy at all 😂) I enjoyed the characters and the New York setting and well as the other settings. I was hooked and interested almost the whole time. Melancholy ending... to find out another in the series is coming out in January! Makes sense 😏
Ending the day with a cup of tea and my MOMS Club Book Club read. I just took over as Book Club Coordinator and for the month of August I had them vote on genre (they chose YA) and then the book. And The Hazel Wood is the winner! Which is great because I bought it several months ago and haven't gotten around to it until now. Ha!!
pickI DEVOURED this book. Cannot wait for the sequel next year.
Do flowers grow in The Hazel Wood? I‘m about to find out.
pickCreepy, poetic, good!
I decided to make a summer TBR of “fun” titles - celebrity memoirs, childhood favorite re-reads, etc. - since we still have 2 months of the season left, back-to-school merchandise displays be damned. Even I was impressed when I saw my list had ballooned to 805 titles. (I‘m not delusional, I realize I‘ll probably only get through about 20 of them if I‘m lucky). #booknerdproblems
pickAudiobook. Well narrated story of a girl, a boy and a series of fairy tales. Interesting concept and not my normal thing to read. Heard about this from @annebogel on her podcast that I love so much.
“We‘re all from different worlds, sometimes we‘re just not born in the right one...”
Next up audiobook because @AnneBogel suggested it on her podcast #whatshouldireadnext.
pickVery good book! It needs a part 2!
pickA solid fairytale. I enjoyed it even when I didn‘t understand it.
pickMy other airplane treat book - I had been wanting to read this one for a while based on some trustworthy recommendations, and it did not disappoint. Deliciously dark, it uses and bends fairy tale tropes without relying on them too heavily.
