God, the twists and turns in this are just phenomenal. Love Shazi & Khalid, love how they eventually get their hearts' desires, and love this journey for Despina and Yasmine. #reread #yafantasy

While the end of this duology was satisfying and fun, I found it paced a lot slower at first. I also feel like there were more unanswered questions than in the first one - like why didn't Shazi tell everyone the truth about the curse? Still, the characters were just as engaging as in the first one and the ending just what it should have been. I'll definitely try more from Ahdieh.

I own all these books but have not read them yet. I have so many books on my TBR!

My daughter made the giant macaroons out of foam board. They turned out pretty good!

#musicalmayhem #readathon is number 3 for August! These are all month-long except for the last one I'll post about. There are a few books overlapping between TBRs, but honestly I had hoped to do a better job with that...

Kenyazero I just started this book, did you read it? After starting, I noticed that it's the second in a series, which isn't indicated on the book. Do you feel a person should read the first book before reading this one? 3y
VioletMoonBooks @Kenyazero definitely read the first book first 3y
Kenyazero @VioletMoonBooks Thanks, glad I asked! Sometimes if a book 2 doesn't say it's book 2, it can also be a standalone, but not always. 3y

Today I am favored by the book gods. My package arrived a day early. Less than 24 hours after I reached the cliffhanger ending of the first book. #blessed 😆

I loved this book. I love the characters, the beautiful writing, The world building, the pace and excitement of the storyline, and I love love love that the author stopped at two books and didn‘t stretch this out unnecessarily. Not without it‘s heartbreaking and what-the-🤬 moments, but with a satisfying ending that I really needed right now.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Kenyazero I just started reading this today and noticed that it's the second in a series, which isn't noted on the book. Would you recommend starting with book 1, or is this a case where it doesn't matter? 3y
sprainedbrain @Kenyazero I would definitely recommend reading the first book before this one. It‘s really just one stretched out story! 3y
Kenyazero @sprainedbrain Glad I asked, thanks for the info! 3y

I couldn't put this book down. I was on the edge of my seat to find out how Shazi and Khalid's story would end. I will just say this...I was not disappointed. I thoroughly enjoyed this series. I would love more of this incredible duo.

I was on the fence initially, but found myself reacting emotionally- so clearly became engaged. This was a satisfying sequel and fun retelling of Arabian Nights.

I‘m so happy I read this book. I‘ve been wanting to know how the story end for a while. When I got to the end of the story my heart was racing. This is one of the most exciting stories I‘ve ever read. It had me hooked from beginning to end. This was such a wonderful book.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This turned out to be such a cute read! I'm normally not about love stories, but this one was really nice and wholesome to me, with the added magic and amazing settings. I'm really glad this got me out of a streak of less than amazing books.

I was able to get one more book read in February. This is definitely my favorite series of the year that I‘ve read!

This is a duology, so only 2 books to read, which I think is my new favorite way to read series! But it also means there are no more books in this world. Apparently there are 3 short stories that I need to find!

I loved Shazi and Khalid‘s journey, their story and their love for each other. 💚💚💚

My latest library book haul. My husband judges me every time I walk out of the library and he‘s sitting in the car. He just doesn‘t understand and says I have plenty of books at home.

I already started reading the tagged book, even though I should be reading Into the Night or The Kingdom of Copper because they are both due 3/12. 🤦‍♀️😬🤦‍♀️😬

I‘m glad I continued with this series, because I truly enjoyed this 2nd book, and the ending to the story. I felt Renée Ahdieh did a fantastic job keeping the feel of the original Arabian Nights while making the story her own.

Wow! I could not put this book down. It‘s been awhile since I enjoyed a YA fantasy love story. This duology didn‘t over do the love and make it cheesy. I loved the magic and setting of it and the characters written.

Such a great end to a magical story.

I saw this tag earlier and couldn't help myself from posting on it! #PetsAndPaperbacks

1. Minion (aka The Destroyer of Book Covers)
2. He turns 5 this summer!
3. Whenever he is in a playful mood, you get to see him literally running through the walls in the house and it is both: the funniest and the weirdest thing ever! 😂
4. I don't know who to tag, but feel free to do your own and share your beautiful pets!

HotMessJess Uh oh, how many books has this minion destroyed?! 6y
leevereads @HotMessJess So far, my Minion of darkness has only destroyed the cover of "Now I Rise" by Kiersten White—but that's just because I have managed to snatch away the other ones in time before destruction ? 6y
