I love this series. I‘m looking forward to reading them with my youngest. Short, gripping chapters. Loveable characters. Lots of action, humor and tension. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I adore these characters! They are awesome group and I loved their banter. I just would have loved to have more of those! This was so action-packed that I started to wish to get less action and more discussions.

“In a dream, Aru could show up to school wearing a grown made out of paper clips only to be supremely embarrassed that she‘d forgotten her homework.”
A day behind on this August challenge and several books behind on this really great #middlegrade series. This series is so creative and full of so many twists and turns. I am only about 4 hours into the second book‘s audiobook but it‘s great! #tropesinaugust
I'm far from the intended audience for these books, but I've enjoyed them so far. The characters are fun, and I'm enjoying learning a bit about a #mythology that I'm unfamiliar with. #fantasy #hindu #hindumythology #pandava #identity #magic #demigod
Great to see the main character grow and learn from her mistakes, but still be goofy and awkward. I wish I had a book like this when I was in my middle school years to help me feel like I wasn't alone going through all the different transitions. The world building is richly detailed.
#MordecaiReads His biggest complaint was the the color of the crab didn‘t match the color of the crab in the book. 🤔 He‘s also pretty miffed he has to wait so long for the next book. #morebookslessbulkshit2019

1/30 I'm a few days behind in this challenge but I think I can catch up by Monday.
I gave this book 3.7 🌟🌟🌟
It wasn't as great as the first one but it was still funny and the characters were still lovable. I look forward to reading the 3rd one.
Went for a short walk with my son, we skip hapkido class and went to the movies 🙃

Me: setting reading goals isn't for me.
Me 2 days later: I'm going to try and read 30 books in the month of August.
What am I the way that I am 🙈🙈
Someone has stolen Cupid's bow and arrow and is using it to create the heartless - an army of zombie-like creatures. The gods think Aru is to blame and to prove herself innocent she is set onto another quest to return the stolen items. Even more action-packed than the last, there are new allies to befriend and enemies to thwart. Lots of actual LOL moments in here to keep the mood light even through the intensity of it all. Delightful read!
If you like your Indian mythology with generous dollops of adventure, friendship, humor, and Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings references, then start reading the Aru Shah series, like, yesterday! What I love about this second book is that both the heroes and the villains have baggage, and you can‘t paint anyone as purely good or evil. The characters are real and relatable, while the magic is delightfully over the top. So much fun! And wisdom too.
This series has some great actual LOL moments in it but also some great moments of wisdom.
Still trying to figure out how to stay active for #bookfitnesschallenge with the limitations surgery threw at me, but everything's getting easier real fast, so it's progress. I'm doing a lot of random dancing for now 😂 Roamed the city for 5 hours today while my mum had surgery (we're a sorry lot tonight 😂) and got 10 km in, so a cat and a good book is order. Hope you're all having a great Thursday ❤️❤️
I liked this second book in Roshani Chokshi's middle grade Pandava series even better than the first. Aru Shah and her friend, Mini, are on another quest, this time to prove their innocence and accompanied by new friends. There are great messages throughout the book about inclusivity, empathy, and friendship, in addition to some wonderful Indian mythology. I'm looking forward to more of Aru's adventures - bonus: gorgeous covers! 😍
Giving #Bailey a break from the #coneofshame while I try to squeeze in one more book for June. ☺️ She‘s been pretty good about leaving her paw alone, but I‘ve also been watching her like a hawk. 🧐

It‘s going to be a long wait for the 3rd book in this series to come out! Perfect for fans of Percy Jackson and HP, I love how this tale of friendship is woven in so well with mythology.
And a middle grade book that adds a strong character that is bi/pan AND establishes they/them as a pronoun choice gets a big 🙌🏽🙌🏽 from me.
Aru Shah is firmly cemented as my favorite new middle grade series.
The fresh biscotti from Pgh is yummy too. 😃
I used to live near “Little India” in Edison, NJ, and while I currently have been waiting 1 hr + for lunch to arrive at my table, this chapter is killing me! Sooo hungry, and now I‘m want Indian street food! 😋
We‘ve arrived at our resort where we‘re spending a brief 24 hours! (Although I‘m tempted to add on a day, we‘re tucked in the WV mountains at a beautiful spot!)
Nothing but reading and swimming this afternoon (As soon as we eat some lunch)! #motherdaughtergetaway
Spending our last day in Pittsburgh enjoying all the benefits of staying in a walkable neighborhood. Currently at the Commonplace Coffeehouse 2 blocks away from our AirBnb, and then after packing we‘re headed to the park and playground again!
Good thing Maya has ebooks downloaded, or we‘d be fighting over who gets to read this book this morning. 😂
This is the book I didn‘t get to read today, but we saw a lot of cool stuff, and ate a lot of delicious food! Got my Pierogies fix today. 😋 Tomorrow is our last day in Pgh before heading south again.
This was supposed to be a rest day, but ended up playing the new HP game tonight and walked 15,000 steps today! #BFCR2 #bfc #bookfitnesschallenge #teamfitlit
I loved the first one so much I‘m moving straight into the second in the series! Maya and I decided to read both for #motherdaughterbookclub
I was going to sit outside to drink my tea, but it started raining before I could even post this! 😂😂
#bookandtea
I love Aru Shah. I laughed and grinned like an idiot while reading at my desk during lunch today. But more than anything, I love the nuggets of wisdom thrown in. ❤️
While shopping for a birthday present for my nephew I forgot I got my self a treat as well. Found it cleaning off the dining room table. Thank goodness. I also bought another copy.
Before I got started on the #Netgalleyreadathon I needed to finish Aru and I cannot recommend these books enough! The story that Roshani Chokshi tells is so good and she leaves me wanting more.
⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️/5
My cat is now reading Aru. The title of the chapter is perfect for her little 6lb size.
#catsoflitsy
I am enjoying this book so much! Aru is such a great character and I love the story. It‘s also nice having a relaxing evening and knowing that the day after tomorrow I get to see my nephew and sister who I haven‘t seen since September.
Me every day.
Also, does anyone else with a kindle have issues with dog hair getting stuck around the edges of the screen?
Totally forgot this one came out today! My arcs can wait cause I absolutely loved the first book in this series and I love Roshani Chokshi‘s books.

Got out of work early, but I can‘t go home because they are doing work on trees at the house and they‘ve blocked the street. So, I‘m spending the afternoon reading this new release and having a yummy treat. 🥳
Only 15 days till this beauty hits the stores. Many thanks to Disney Hyperion for the cool swag—blue tooth speaker, ear buds, pens, guitar pick key chain.
Book 2 with a long wait.
