Shatter Me | 
So I did a thing and ended up ordering this box set! I remember reading the first few books when they first came out and loved them! Now that a new book in the series is coming out next month I decided that it might be a fun time to revisit the series! 💕📚
#bannedbooksunday book(s) #2 is the Shatter Me series. Another part of the school ban from post#1 this week, this is also being banned due to "sexual excitement, sexual conduct and lewd exhibition of nudity".
This book was the definition of creative writing running amuck. Did it drive me insane? Yes. Am I going to keep reading? Also yes. I gotta see how the baddie becomes the love interest.
I just hope the author reins in the metaphors and ridiculous turns of phrase and just tells the story. I'm fully convinced that the FMC is actually insane because of the way her mind works.

1) stripes!
2) I recently started the tagged book. But it's a bit too dark for me just now. Going to the library tomorrow to look for a new read.
pickI have a gift.
I'm more than human.
My touch is power.
I will fight back.
pickListening to Shatter Me 24/7 as an audiobook on Spotify, and let me just say; It‘s amazing. The writing, the character development, the dialogue, it‘s one of the best books I have ever read.
pickI enjoyed reading this book. It is interesting, I will continue the series. Checked it out from the library on Libby. I might end up getting physical copies of the books later on. I rated this book a 3 out of 5 stars.
#ShatterMe series⚡ Legit the Best book series I've ever read!! This book is a mixture of genres, you can experience anything in this book. Breathtaking with a beautiful writing ❤Tahereh Mafi i can't thank you enough !!

pickHere I am, reading another YA fantasy novel. I would have steered clear a few years ago but I guess I‘m broadening my horizons. Even though I‘m a post menopausal 59 year old woman, I really enjoyed it. It took me back to my teen years when falling in love felt like it could literally crush you. It‘s a great storyline and I can‘t wait to read book 2. #SeriesLove2024 @Andrew65 @TheSpineView
“One touch is all it takes..Juliette Ferrars can leave a fully grown man gasping for air..and she can kill. No one knows why she has this power. It feels like a curse, a burden that one person alone could never bear. The Reestablishment sees it as a gift..an opportunity..for a deadly weapon. She has never fought for herself before, but when she‘s reunited with the one person who ever cared about her, she finds a strength she never knew she had.”

I feel soooo spoiled!!!! I can't believe you gifted me all this and the wrapping was super cute as well. I tried the Coffee Rio candy as where have those been all my life?!?!?! The tote.....just WOW! I needed one for my book shopping outings and it's perfect! I'm just obsessed. Thank you so much and I'm really grateful that I'm getting to know you. I had such a blast hosting this swap! 🥰
panI HATED IT.

Shattered 😲
This bad boy lasted me over a decade. It's been dropped more times than I can remember but it never cracked or scratched. It still worked perfect after all these years and I joked that it was the nokia brick phone of tablets/ereaders.
so- i‘m in a dilemma. kent vs. warner. I CAN‘T CHOOSE. currently i‘m choosing warner because like- you can‘t go wrong with a power hungry way too mature for his age dude?? like seriously. BUT THIS WAS A SUCH A GOOD BOOK
Heh, hai, hot take. Not my faaaavourite, purely for the fact that I didn‘t like the main character **ducks from flaming projectile thrown** I‘m sorry, she irritated me-
I liked it enough, to keep on reading the series, though.
This is your sign to make your own reading journal. It‘s so fun and you can get so creative!! All you need is a notebook/sketchbook/ journal. I used a printer and some colored pens and some scissors and glue!
I just finished the #ShatterMe series & it was awesome! I highly recommend. Plus the book covers are absolutely stunning!

Can anyone suggest me some more books like the Shatter me books? I read this a long time back but still can't get over it..and the other series just aren't doing it for me?
So I love a lot of quotes from a lot of books!!! so I‘m going to to start doing a daily quote!! my first couple are gonna be from Shatter Me!!
“Can you hear my heart? I want you to make a list of all your favorite things, and I want to be on it”. !!!!!!!! Ignite me!!!
OMG the way he called her love!!!!!!
Team Warner >>> Team Adam
pickI burned through this series at a ridiculous rate and thoroughly enjoyed it. I will say I didn‘t really see the point in the last novella, although I guess the assurance of a happy ending is always nice. Juliette is a compelling heroine, and I found the portrayal of mental illness and manipulation sensitive and compassionate. Nicely worked romance angle, too, well told with just enough angst and delicately phrases spice to make it interesting.
I haven‘t been on in a while! After a bit of a slump where I couldn‘t get into anything I tried to read, I was cured with The Lost Storyteller by Amanda Block. Am now ripping through Tahereh Mafi‘s Shatter Me series on Kindle in a tandem read with a friend, and reading Olivie Blake‘s The Atlas Six in paper. Loving both of them! Let the fantasy kick continue…
So I finished my TBR for the month already... Decided to make another one. I am almost done Shatter Me (a little under 3 hrs left) and then I can start one of these gems.
Has anyone read any of them? Any good??? Which one should I start next?
pick4⭐ it's still a pick for me even after reading it a second time and getting frustrated about the crossed out parts and the repetition and all the annoying things that I hated this time while reading it 😂
so-soThis was interesting, a YA superhero/dystopian world that I enjoyed but felt a little wanting. Maybe my expectations were too high? I‘ll give the series another go to see if it grows on me. #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks
pickAmazing, but not what I was expecting. I don‘t really know what I though this book would be, but it wasn‘t this. It was daring, dark, romantic, murderous, and thrilling. I have no clue what‘s going to happen in 10 more books but I‘m excited to see.
pickThis book has been on my to read list for a while but frankly, it intimidated me. Now, I don‘t know why I put it off for so long. I really liked the main character, which is something that doesn‘t often happen in dystopian and fantasy books for me. I thought that the relationships between characters were well-written and realistic and, of course, I felt that I couldn‘t put the book down because of its well thought out plot!
4⭐️
“Welcome,” Castle says to me, gesturing with one hand, “to Omega Point.”
His smile is laced with dynamite. “Go to sleep.”
“Go to hell.”
He works his jaw. Walks to the door. “I‘m working on it.”
“At least I‘m honest,” he adds.
“You just agreed you‘re a liar!”
He raises his eyebrows. “At least I‘m honest about being a liar.”
pickThis book is set in a dystopian time. The world was overrun by a corrupt government and climate change, everyone is complete controlled. The movement is called the reestablishment. The main character Juliette has a special ability that whenever she touches anyone they die. When her family discovered this they sent her away to a place worse than prison. The rest of the book entails the story of what she does after she escapes.
pickI can‘t believe I waited so long to read this! Loved it!
