I‘m keeping these by my bed as remainders to read them. It doesn‘t always work out. But I‘ve made this year the year to read pirate and nautical books, so I should succeed, at least with These Rebel Waves! 🏴‍☠️

This book ends strong, very strong, enough that I did reserve the sequel, but the lead up was too variable for me to endorse full-on. The worldbuilding is both inventive and incomplete, the characters both engaging and unpredictable (not necessarily in a good way), and the plot is by turns satisfying and exciting, and shark-jumping. The aesthetic is 💯💯 very #pirates , much #queerbooks , but it was a mixed bag. Audio performance was good.

ssleif As an example I'm not sure the history of the world holds up very well. What people know, why they know it, why groups are motivated certain ways, etc. Explained heavily, but I think the amount of explanation necessary betrays the fact that there don't seem to be good organic mechanisms driving the roots of the world. That all contributes to things being unpredictable in a a bad way-- 3y
ssleif a character could do nearly anything and it would be equally as justified in the text up to that point as anything else the character could do. It's possible that there will be a good explanation in a future book that justifies the arbitrary feeling of a lot of elements in the world and the characters, but that's a decent sized gamble to make. XD 3y

Bit torn on this one-- the world/background/motivation is... Inconsistent. Parts of the world building I find really interesting, and parts of it I find really patchy and under constructed. The places where the world does not feel believable take away from the character motivations, which is a shame because I think I could really love these characters. I'm sticking with it though, especially now that the plot has really gotten going. 👌👌

#AVeryAustenHoliday (2 of 2)

@LeahBergen I knew you‘d find a copy of P&P I didn‘t have for the collection (189)! 😍

Thanks for sending your personal Jane Austen mystery book; it has found an appropriate new home 🥰

Thank you for the book sleeve, chocolate, cookies, hot chocolate, tea and bookmarks, notebooks, lip balm, tabbies, socks, keychain, and the CAT Austen card-cute; I love it all!

And I can‘t wait to read These Rebel Waves 🏴‍☠️

Gissy What a beautiful package!😱❤️❤️❤️So many curious items, those post sticks are sooo cute!!! 3y
catiewithac Wow! 3y
MsMelissa Awesome haul!! You and @LeahBergen both did a great job on your packages. 3y

LeahBergen 😂 I just loved looking through all your P&P covers to find one you didn‘t have! I‘m so glad you like the stuff; I had a ton o‘ fun shopping for you! 😘😘 3y
LeahBergen @Book_Fiend_Melissa We‘re good little Janeites. 😆 3y

CrowCAH @Gissy I know aren‘t they?! I have the P&P tabbies, so now I have Austen to go with them - a full set! 3y
CrowCAH @catiewithac couldn‘t agree more; I‘m totally spoiled with this package! 3y
CrowCAH @Book_Fiend_Melissa thanks! ☺️ It helps to know one‘s audience- a lover of Jane Austen! 3y
CrowCAH @LeahBergen the collection sure is growing! Yes, most definitely once the number reaches 200, we will host another challenge or swap, something to celebrate the achievement! Your card was super touching, what kind words you wrote 😘 3y
CrowCAH @Chrissyreadit most certainly! You and Jenni knew what you were about when making matches! Thanks for hosting this swap! ❤️ 3y
CrowCAH @erzascarletbookgasm I agree! Now I have lots of fun drinks to sip while cozying you‘re with great books! 3y
CrowCAH @batsy gosh, aren‘t they?! So appropriate and unique. It seems for every item (like lip balm) manufacturers have created something Jane Austen themed! 3y
DebinHawaii Wow! What wonderful picks! 💙I am amazed @LeahBergen found an edition you don‘t have. That is some very thorough stalking! 🤣 3y
CrowCAH @DebinHawaii I know! There are plenty editions I don‘t have; they keep publishing more! 3y

Book 5 in O.W.L.s readathon-prompt was Transfiguration=read a book with sprayed pages or red cover-this one has green sprayed pages.YA fantasy where some colonies want to live independent others want the power.War will be with the use of magic plants that can cause permanent illness making armies week.It was from ok to so-so.Sometimes confused, other boring, other slow other full of adventure.2.85⭐️Lets see the sequel b/c I liked some characters

I finished this sometime last week, but grad school has been eating my life! Which is why it's probably been a month since I have been on Litsy. Anyway, this book was decent, though I can't believe the cliffhanger that it was left at! Interesting enough plot about a rebellious new government and a cool magic system! Listened to this one on #audio via #scribd

Wow, it took me a long time to read this book. But I finally finished it and I've liked it so much! I was going to rate it with 3 stars but those final chapters were amazing so it's a solid 4!!! Anyway, it's true that the worldbuilding could be better, but I loved the characters and the plot and this time that's enough for me ✌🏼

Such a gorgeous edition of These Rebel Waves by Sara Raasch.Not only is there these stunning green sprayed edges, it‘s also not just signed, but also has a little message from her (Make Waves!)as well! Very very happy with this box & my #owlcrate this month too(except for the double book which unfortunately looks like is happening again next month😔)Still, even with a book double,both editions are so different it doesn‘t matter so much.🧚🏼‍♂️💚💚

LibrarianRyan This wasn‘t this months owlcrate. And I don‘t think it‘s next months either. 6y
Lizpixie @LibrarianRyan no, this months owl crate book is the same as July‘s fairyloot book. And I‘m pretty sure that the September version of both boxes will have the same book too.🤷🏻‍♀️ 6y
LibrarianRyan @Lizpixie ah. Okay. I want this book and just hadn‘t bought it yet but I was pretty sure it was not next mo the book. 6y

This cover could go one if two ways. Flat like in this picture is okay, but if the add some embossing in the right places, and either metallic one play with matte and slick, it could be amazing.
