My Friday night. I was so tired all week and last night was the same. I stayed awake long enough to finish ACOTAR ahead of the #littensloveromance buddy read. I was starting to see too many spoiler reels on FB ( how does meta know what I‘m reading? 🤔) I quite like this romantasy rabbit hole I‘ve gone down and I think we are reading the second one together too ❤️❤️🎉

quietlycuriouskate @mcctrish fair point: we so rarely get snow here (SW UK) that it looks magical to me. 2h

#LittensLoveRomance #ACOTAR Ch.31-36: Sorry for the missed post - life got in the way! So now, things are getting exciting. Feyre goes back to the Spring court only to find it destroyed and empty. We finally learn what‘s actually happening in Prythian - and it all comes down to one evil lady. Who happens to have the hots for Tamlin. Feyre knows she has to try to save him, and everyone else. Or die trying. ⬇️

StayCurious When she gets to Under the Mountain it‘s like that scene in Star Wars with Jabba the Hutt. Only Tamlin is Princess Leia, bound to the side of the villain, except sans gold bikini. Feyre strikes a deadly bargain to complete 3 tasks or solve a riddle in order to save him. But will she survive long enough? 21h

StayCurious @mcctrish it had to be Rhysand right? The shit disturber haha - that‘s why she called him over. He‘d better be careful or he‘ll lose her good graces. 21h

CrowCAH It hurt to find Tamlin so submissive. Definitely betting on Rhysand! 21h

mcctrish Lucian is a possibility but I don‘t think he‘s in Amarantha‘s good graces enough to go against the grain (edited) 21h

OriginalCyn620 The Star Wars references are lost on me 😂 but I agree with @CrowCAH! I also think that perhaps Amarantha has met her match in Feyre. 21h

LiseWorks I was not happy to see Tamlin so degraded. And what is Rhysand up to? 12h

vonnie862 I'm glad Feyre killed the worm, but I feel so bad for the girl who was tortured. 5h

#LittensLoveRomance #ACOTAR Testing the waters: if I were to host a buddy read for book 2 after we finish this one, separate from our regular #LittensLoveRomance read, would there be any interest in that? Let me know 🤷‍♀️ Ch.28,29,30: Feyre is returned home - but it‘s a much different home than she remembers. Tamlin‘s generosity has elevated her family so that they are better off than they were 8 years before. ⬇️

StayCurious But not everyone is fooled: Nesta sees through the glamour. And she actually went after Feyre. deep down Feyre knows she can‘t stay there, not when her High Lord could be in danger. If Nesta was brave enough to go to Prythian, so is Feyre. 3d

mcctrish I‘m up for a Buddy read to the end of the series #littensloveacotar and I‘m pretty sure we‘re packing our bags to go after Tam once the ball is over. Maybe Nesta goes too? 3d

BarkingMadRead I am definitely in for a buddy read! I have the whole series but I‘ve only read the first one! 3d

OriginalCyn620 I am totally up for a buddy read! That would be fun. It‘s a bit surprising that Nesta went after Feyre…she was always so prickly towards her. 😂 But good for her showing some sisterly love and concern! I‘m glad to hear that the family was thriving in Feyre‘s absence, but I want her and Tamlin back together. Like right now! 3d

Read4life I‘m up for a buddy read of the series. 3d

LiseWorks Definitely a buddy read for book 2. I was so surprised as how well her family was doing. So Tamlin kept his word to look after them. 3d

vonnie862 I'm up for the buddy read! I bought the series set so it would be fun to tackle it together! 3d

vonnie862 You know, I love that we got to see that side of Nesta! As the oldest myself, I kept wondering why she was so cold to Feyre. Now I understand her better. 3d

CrowCAH The family‘s situation is so opposite of what it was, it doesn‘t seem real. I‘m glad Nesta wasn‘t glamorized. I‘m totally rooting for Feyre to go back to Faerie. 3d

Cupcake12 Definitely up for a second buddy read! 3d

TheAromaofBooks Yes!! I am in for the buddy read. I was so surprised that Nesta knew the truth! I love that Feyre had someone she can talk to about her adventures, even if it's her most unsympathetic sister 😂 It was good to see some understanding between these two. 2d

I had heard so many things about this series so was keen to read the first book as part of #litsylovesromance.
Magical lands, violence, adventure, beasts, faerie‘s - there was so much going on and that doesn‘t include the romance. The relationship between Tamlin and Feyre was swoon worthy .
A seductive, adventure that the author detailed perfectly. I can‘t wait to read the next one.

#LittensLoveRomance #ACOTAR Ch.25,26,27: A lot happened in these chapters but mainly we‘ll focus on Rhysand, the dark High Lord linked to the *she* we‘ve been afraid of. Yeah, he seems like a jerk but he knows what‘s going on. Tamlin is still keeping things from Feyre - to protect her or himself and his realm? Can he really send her home? Will she leave her newfound home now that she finally feels comfortable there? She might not have a choice. ⬇️

StayCurious It seems as though things are crumbling around Tamlin and the spring court and Feyre may be his weakness and his downfall. Unless she‘s like the key to everything. So many unanswered questions! 4d

LiseWorks This is where Beauty leaves the beast behind. Does she have a choice? I am a little heartbroken at this point 4d

OriginalCyn620 Yes, so many more questions now! And after the amorous activities, I wonder if Tamlin will actually be able to send Feyre away. It‘s hard to believe that he would send her back to the awful life she had before. But yet, he wants to keep her safe…I still feel like Feyre is the key to something. IDK how or what, though. And BTW, the graphic is so on point! 👍🏻 4d

mcctrish Didn‘t the Suriel say Feyre needs to stay close to Tamlin? I don‘t think going home is safe but I wasn‘t expecting Tam and Lucien to get down on their knees either 🤷🏻‍♀️ 4d

vonnie862 @mcctrish same! The Suriel did say to stay with Tamlin. I was shocked that both of them got on their knees. 4d

CrowCAH I agree @mcctrish @vonnie862 that was shocking that they‘d stoop so low to protect her. I knew this was a BatB type story, but I was still torn when he came to the decision to allow her to go. He finally accepted her and she him and now they‘ll be separated. 4d

maich @mcctrish and @CrowCAH I agree with you two. So many happend in these chapters and so many questions. Tamlin still don't want her to tell everything even they come close. Not sure what to think...🤔 4d

Cupcake12 I was so involved in the story - I finished it! 4d

#LittensLoveRomance #ACOTAR Ch.22,23,24: Feyre is definitely liking and trusting Tamlin more - enough to show him her paintings, and to dress to impress. And he shows her what his world is really like. I feel better knowing that his court is not completely abandoned as it appeared to be. There are many more fairies there than Feyre could see. ⬇️

StayCurious We hear about The Night Court - there‘s no love lost between Tamlin and the Night Court‘s High Lord it seems. What a strange and terrible prank? 5d

OriginalCyn620 I‘m glad the walls are slowly coming down with these two, but I wonder how much more there is that Feyre doesn‘t know yet. And it‘s getting increasingly harder for me to stay on schedule…I want to read ahead so badly! 😂 5d

#LittensLoveRomance #ACOTAR Ch.19,20,21: We learn more about the Faerie world and about the concept of Mates. Could Tamlin and Feyre be destined or is it not in the cards? But things are starting to go well between Feyre and Tamlin, that is until Feyre goes against his orders and sneaks out to the Fire Njght. Feyre and her curiosity! She lands in such dangerous situations. ⬇️

StayCurious If that handsome stranger hadn‘t been there…and who is he and where is he from? I‘m sure we haven‘t seen the end of him. And then Feyre has that run in with Tamlin after Lucien tells her what the Rite is. I got an ick feeling that he was with someone else that night and then comes to Feyre with hopes of what? I dunno. My gut isn‘t rooting for these two as much as it was. Even if Feyre is drawn to him. 6d

mcctrish Tam had to take someone else and was pissed off. He did warn her but Lucien obviously thinks Feyre should be given more information that she gets. 6d

OriginalCyn620 Maybe if Tamlin gave all the info when Feyre asks a question, then she wouldn‘t need to sneak around and find out for herself. 😂 I‘m still rooting for them, though! 6d

mcctrish @OriginalCyn620 or she‘d realize what she‘d be getting herself into if she went out and me too 6d

StayCurious @OriginalCyn620 you‘re totally right. I‘m not a brave person - I‘d be like “ok stay in the room! No problem!” 6d

LiseWorks I was so disappointed in Tamlin for not explaining why she should stay in her room. But those drums. She couldn't resist! After reading other books about Fairies I knew the drums would get her in trouble. And the most beautiful man she ever saw? Why heart went oh no! 6d

LiseWorks I meant my heart, stupid autocorrect 6d

CrowCAH Going to Fire Night was a stupid move. He gave a warning on purpose. But curiosity gets the better of us all, right? At least she knows more now. 6d

Cupcake12 So many unanswered questions! 6d

vonnie862 @CrowCAH I'm with you. It was a stupid move. 6d

vonnie862 Now that stranger...who is he? 6d

maich @LiseWorks the drums. I thought the same. I'll did the same as Ferye. We wanted to see what was going on. Lucien finally started talking. But we need more information. And that stranger. Who is he? Will probably meet him again. And that hot scene with Tamlin. So many things happen in these chapters. 6d

I picked up this book for a Litsy read along and it was so good I couldn‘t just read 2 chapters a day. I now know why Romantasy is such a popular new genre. It‘s romance with a thrilling, action packed B-storyline. This story felt like a beauty and the beast spin off, which made me enjoy it more. It also had a little Psyche trials of proving her love of Eros to Aphrodite spin too. I love that particular Greek myth. So, all in all I‘d recommend it!

#LittensLoveRomance #ACOTAR Ch: 13,14,15: Oy, Feyre does a good job of getting into trouble, doesn‘t she? If this were my book, I‘d be luxuriating in baths, food and the library and just avoiding all that danger- it‘d be very boring haha. But that‘s not who Feyre is. She likes to test boundaries. She‘s still working for her family even when she‘s away from them. ⬇️

StayCurious Hoping to save them from the blight. Will she listen to the Suriel‘s advice and stay close to Tamlin or did it perhaps mean a different High Lord? Is Tamlin her future? Will he keep her safe when he seems to be losing control of his lands? Or is she the key perhaps to changing things? So many questions. 1w

OriginalCyn620 For sure, my book would be different too! I‘d be luxuriating in zero responsibility, opulence, and lots of me time.

#LittensLoveRomance #ACOTAR Ch.4-6: definite Beauty & the beast vibes now, as Feyre is forced to go to the Faerie land as prisoner/guest - her punishment for killing a faerie wolf. Of course, she‘s desperate to escape and return to her family - who, let‘s face it, don‘t stand a chance without her. I‘d be soaking in this vacation if I were her…⬇️

StayCurious but Feyre‘s grown up on terrible tales of the High Fae and she‘s even warned by the servant Alis not to trust her senses in Prythian. She‘s terrified and hoping for a chance to flee. Can she do what she‘s told for the time being and not get herself into trouble? 2w

maich She is too strong not to eat. I would have eaten right away.😋 I find these creatures interesting. I don't think she'll be able to resist talking. Tongue will either get her into trouble or save her. Interesting that the High Fae took pity on her. I'm really curious to see how it will unravel. 2w

BarkingMadRead I would so be living it up without all of that responsibility! 2w

OriginalCyn620 I‘m wondering if the tales of the High Fae were greatly exaggerated, or maybe they once were true but aren‘t any longer? At any rate, I‘m loving the vibe of this book so far! And I understand why Feyre is wanting to flee because of said stories, but I agree with @BarkingMadRead - she should try to see it as a vacation from all her responsibilities and her horrible family. 😂 2w

vonnie862 I don't blame her for being hesitant. If I'm taken against my will, I would be on my highest alert, even if my "prison" is a nice place. My question is, why was she taken and not killed? Why was she told that she was not a prisoner? 2w

maich @vonnie862 I wanted to know that too. Why was she treated like a high Lady and not prisoner or slave. So many questions.🤔 @StayCurious yes bring the food. She'll never be hungry again. 2w

#LittensLoveRomance #ACOTAR Ch.1-3: what an interesting beginning! A lot of information but it was delivered in a blunt, easy way so it was easy to follow. I hate her family - I feel bad that Feyre (pronounced Fair-ruh) is taking care of them and feels bound to them and bound to her terrible existence. They‘re useless. I said it. But A promise is a promise and Feyre made a serious one to her mother - ⬇️

StayCurious probably because the woman realized they would die without help. I appreciated the world building the author did - I‘m interested to see where this is going, especially considering how Ch.3 ended. I think we can all agree that Feyre is meant for more than this life. 2w

LiseWorks This is the kind of book I love. I had the same vibe with Cinderella and her stepsister. Dear Lord, they're useless. I kind of wonder about that wolf. 2w

Repost for @StayCurious
#LittensLoveRomance Our next book is definitely one of the most hyped out there. The ACOTAR fanbase can be rabid haha. Let‘s see if it‘s worth all the fuss. This is considered “romantsy”. We‘ll star Feb 10 and read 3 chapters a day. I believe it is available on Everand for those that subscribe or hopefully your library has copies. Please let @StayCurious know if you want to be tagged in her daily posts.

Late to the party! 😬

I didn't find this the addictive, compulsive page turner everyone said it was. I found it VERY tedious in the middle but it picked up when Rhysand was introduced. I hope the rest of the series picks up as this was just a Beauty and the Beast retelling 🤣

I am, however, getting strange vibes from Tamlin... so I will finish the series and hope it grips me!

5feet.of.fury Yeah, Book 2 is really where the magic happens. I liked the trials in ACOTAR 1 but a lot of that book seemed like a totally different thought. 3w

jamield1911 @5feet.of.fury I'm intrigued enough to continue! 3w

#LittensLoveRomance Our February book has been selected and it is definitely one of the most hyped out there. The ACOTAR fanbase can be rabid haha. Let‘s see if it‘s worth all the fuss. This one is considered “romantasy”. We‘ll start Feb 10 and read 3 chapters a day. I believe it is available on Everand for those that subscribe or hopefully your library has plenty of copies. Please let me know if you want to be tagged in my daily posts.

#25Alive! Day 26: My #GuiltyPleasure that I have not even started reading yet since practically all of the young people I know have been raving about #Acotar. Is it really worth all the hype, fellow readers?

Eggs, Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

LMJenkins I enjoyed it! When I read it, it was not my typical genre, but it really sucked me in and what can I say? It was a pleasure to read it. Best literature, I‘ve ever read, no. But that doesn‘t matter. I had fun and it was a fantasy and I liked it. 4w

GatheringBooks @LMJenkins that is really good to know. Being lost in books is the best feeling. I enjoy fantasy and world building so i hope i can get to this series soon enough. 4w

Butterfinger I'm not one who likes graphic spicy scenes, so i usually only read YA fantasy.. There's a lot of spice, but I love the characters. I never thought I would cry while reading a fantasy, BUT I bawled during the very last book of the series. 4w

Last book of 2024! I did like it, but didn‘t love it. I‘ve heard the second one is amazing so I‘ll give it a go! I did enjoy the last 100 pages or so the most!

Can‘t believe I waited so long to read this!!! I haven‘t read a book this fast in a looonnngggg time and now I must have the second one!! If you love fantasy, this is a must read. It‘s been around for a long time but if you have been putting it off, don‘t wait! As I wait for book two to arrive I‘m trying to choose one of the books in the background. My reading bug is back! 📚

⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

I started this on my Kindle awhile ago, and for some reason, it just didn‘t grab me right away - I must not have been in the mood for it. I know it‘s such a beloved series, so I thought I would give it another try with the dramatized adaptation audiobooks. I can understand the appeal and the potential - I imagine the rest of the books in the series will only get better now that the story is set up. 🎧

I finally jumped on the bandwagon and started this series. Full of tropes - unreasonably feisty heroine, good at hunting with a bow, pretty enough but fairly ordinary except for her feistiness, is sentenced to fairyland a la Beauty and the Beast. Incredibly hot male fairies find her irresistibly attractive. She has to save the fairy realm against impossible odds using cunning and bravery. The fresh writing made it all enjoyable. On to book 2!

Returned the #audiobooks via #hoopla

This was an enjoyable book! Totally loved the “Beauty and the Beast” vibes.

The romance was heartwarming 💘
Believable characters, liked their flaws, and how they still had hope
A lot of tragedy is experienced by the characters, yet they still live with the pain and seek justice

I‘ll continue the series. I hear book two is the best of them.

Started this #audiobook and got through three hours in my first sitting. Seems very Beauty and the Beast so far. I like it, waiting for some action to start soon.

willaful I remember finding the audiobook rather repetitive in style -- a dramatized adaption sounds like a good idea. 4mo

peaKnit I enjoy the cast audio, so immersive! I‘m mid book 3 of series. 4mo

CrowCAH @willaful I like the extra sounds, helps the story a bit. 4mo

CrowCAH @peaKnit yeah, not too many do the immersive audio, so when I saw Hoopla had it, I wanted to do that version and not the regular audio. 4mo

I have this book on kindle, IRL and audio- and with my brain fog lifting (thanks to HRT) I decided to reread and see if i still enjoyed it - and I did. I love a Beauty and The Beast type story and really enjoyed the Fae and storyline. It made a huge difference having all three formats available.

Gissy I need to re-read those first 2 books and finish the series.. 4mo

I went in with low expectations because it is so popular. I was delightfully surprised by this book and I enjoyed the story and love interest. My only complaint would be the slower pacing in the beginning.

I finally got around to reading this. While the book was really fun and I still am curious as to what happens next, I just felt like some things were ridiculous. The twist/big reveal was pretty obvious and a little bit too manipulated for the sake of making it make sense with everything that‘s happened. I did enjoy the second half a lot though, and I love how dark and gory it is. It‘s not a cute story, it‘s ugly in a good way. Also Nesta>>>>>>>

Margot Robbie has hinted that there might be a screen adaption of 'A Court of Thorns and Roses' coming our way.

Last year, she was spotted with the author of the series Sarah J. Maas after news of a previous TV series with Hulu fell through.

When asked if her production company is creating a series on the hugely popular books, Margot replied: "We all need that - the world needs that. I'll see what I can do."

#ACourtOfThornsAndRoses #bookvsmovie

jeannasser Not a fan of this potential casting for Feyre at all (Feyre is supposed to be a redhead and much younger) but still hyped to see how they adapt the books. 5mo

TeamFiction @jeannasser she would act as a producer 5mo
