Crooked Kingdom | 
pickThere are not enough stars or words for how much I loved Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom ❤️❤️❤️❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This book made me feel everything under the sun and delivered a satisfying ending.
Loving all the fanart and this scene Kaz now lives rent free in my head 😱
I need a moment because I just finished reading this scene and my heart ❤️🔥💔❤️🔥💔❤️🩹 Kaz and Inej😭😭 I‘m terrified to finish this book because I need a happy ending!
pickIt took me a bit longer to finish, but I was not disappointed. I wish there had been a little more romance between some of the characters, but it was a great read. The plot and the heists were so well planned that it left me speechless. I loved just as much as it‘s prequel. I can‘t wait to read more by Leigh Bardugo.
You're not weak because you can't read. You're weak because you're afraid of people seeing your weakness. You're letting shame decide who you are.

Two tops favorite "C" books are:
Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo
The Calculating Stars by Mary Robinette Kowal
I loved both and I couldn't decide between the two.
pickPerfect. Loved it. Mischief, fisticuffs and mayhem. Everything my readers heart desires.
pickWhat a ride - I loved this one the whole way through but the ending disappointed me. I‘m conflicted because some of the threads were tied up beautifully while others felt abrupt. It also really feels like there‘s more to explore with these characters and the storyline; I hope the rumors of a third book are true!
Reading with kittens. 😻 We‘ve named this one Kuromi for the 4 days she is in our house, since our tuxedo is #HelloKitty (who absolutely hates the intrusion into her home 😂)

💎 wish I could read more, but I also have some cute little distractions in the house over the next couple days which will make an appearance in my next post!
💎 physical book
💎 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
💎 Some books, yes! I love to annotate.

panI don't know why I bother with the grishaverse. I keep thinking okay this is gonna be the book that I can join the hype. When will I give up on it? 😢
pickI've been slightly behind with posting, I finished this over a week ago. This book was a fun ride and I deeply miss all the characters! 4.5⭐️
pickA great sequel to Six of Crows. I love the gang and was happy to be back with them for another heist. Most characters got a good ending, but there are enough dangling threads that I could see there being a third book!
pickCrows remember human faces. They remember the people who feed them, who are kind to them. And the people who wrong them too. They don‘t forget. They tell each other who to look after and who to watch out for.
So I finished the second book a few days ago. I still prefer the first book because I enjoyed learning about their past. I did like that in this book Kaz did open up a bit more than the first book. I just wanted more. I didn't want to end.
What were your thoughts on the ending? Also, do you think Van Eck and Pekka Rollins got what they deserved?
⭐⭐⭐⭐/5

pickSince I re-read the first book in the duology, it seemed only right that I re-read the second book as well. Reading it for the second time didn‘t make the book any less amazing, awe inspiring or painful for that matter. I enjoyed re-living the adventures with the characters and loved the ending (even if I cried…) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Rapid Fire reading wrap up for December! I, somehow, completed 11 books. Great way to end a year!

so-soI find Kaz insufferable, but I do enjoy how consistent Bardugo is with her characters. They are distinct and their choices make sense for that individual.
pickI have only one word to describe this book- 'AMAZING!' Absolute genius! Plot twists when you least expect it. If you love fiction, action and have nothing interesting to read, you HAVE TO read this book!
pick⭐⭐⭐⭐1/2
OMG!!! Can't believe all that's happened in this book.. i laughed, i was anxious, i cried, i was always on the edge of my seat while i was reading/listening (the audiobook is perfect! Loved all the readers 🖤🎧)
pickWow! This one was my favorite. I still think this duology is better that the trilogy. These characters are unique, a lot of action and twists. For a YA fantasy, I found it fantastic it really worked for me. It was discussed in The Unforgotten Book Club only with 3 members The three of us loved it. 4.5⭐️
I used one of the @LibrarianRyan book huggers to carry this big book, it was perfect.
panWhen I finished the first book, it was a duology. And I thought, I might give the second book a try, I might like it better later. Since the whole world loves those books, there must be something wrong with me for disliking it so much, right?
Now a third book is announced, I read volume two, and still can't get it what everyone sees in that Kaz guy... So I'm giving up. The series and Leigh Bardugo. They're just not meant for me. Or vice versa.
pickI liked this better than Six of Crows, I think mostly because I felt like I‘d become invested in the characters and wanted to know how things would resolve and where they would each end up. The book was a little long, but I was sad to have to say goodbye to Kaz and Company.
pickI love this world so much!! And this book did not disappoint. Though nothing with Kaz in it would disappoint (I hope). Does anyone pretend they‘re not so young, that they‘re really maybe mid-twenties?? Because that makes me feel better about having a crush on Kaz.
We don't have wifi yet so my teen has been forced to read. Meanwhile Wallace is making himself comfortable.
pickUpdated my blog with this book and the Netflix series.

pickThis book gave me solace through my covid quarantine. ICYMI; I contracted covid and was (still am) under quarantine since the beginning of August. Not fun 😷🤒
This book though has been my go-to ever since I got sick….it‘s everything!
Another impossible heist with a great set of characters. Be prepared for the ending, it‘s not a perfect happily ever after. But what else would you expect from Leigh Bardugo?
Rating: 4.5/5
Finally settling down to start the sequel. Felt like I was slipping into a reading slump but tried to at least keep listening to audiobooks on my daily commute. I think it helped!
What do you do to motivate yourself when you find yourself entering a reading slump?
My next reread! Sitting down to write down my TBR for August later tonight and I‘m hoping to finish the Grisha universe this month. This is my favorite series in the universe though, so I‘m worried I‘ll struggle to read the King Of Scars duology 😅
Finished Crooked Kingdom 24 hours ago but wasn't able to post... The book is absolutely A-MAZING! I love every single character and LITERALLY CRIED while reading the ending. I love how everyone ended up, it was beautiful! I don't know if I've ever read a series so beautifully complex, where I love every single character! Kaz and Inej, of course, remains my favourite! Not gonna get the King of Scars series till one month, though! Very excited!!!
Almost finished the book! I'm in LOVE with every single character! Now that I know everyone's backstory, I understand the way they act in certain situations. I hope at the end, everyone gets a good ending!
Had finished chapter 11 before going to bed and now I'm super excited to read chapter 12 because it's by Kaz's point of view. I won't be able to read it till 4 hours later :( I hope the hours of my school goes fast.
Can anyone please give a spoiler free review of Crooked Kingdom. I want to start reading but assignments are overflowing and I have to video chat with my best friend to complete it :(
pickSo many chapters left me gripping the cover because I thought the characters were done for. the story looks through multiple perspectives so you always see limited knowledge of the job and events going on before jumping to someone with the other puzzle piece. The characters‘ banter with each other was on par. But don‘t get me wrong–I also cried at the book.
pickI do believe it was better than the first...🖤 9/10 I will forever be a crow.
