Queen of Shadows (Miniature Character Collection) | 
My pumpkins have sprouted (two of four). And my tomatoes have settled in nicely. Now all I have to do is monitor my empty garden patch until I can get some high strength acetic acid to kill off the last of the thistle.
Edit: all four pumpkins have now sprouted!!!!

pickI feel like this series just gets better with each instalment. The tension in this one was peak, with so many secrets and mysteries coming to fruition and being uncovered. Celaena/Aelin really comes into her own and claims the power meant to be hers; Manon struggles to find her true path; NOTHING is how it seemed at all. An excellent read , and SJM always ramps it up so much at the end so that you can‘t wait to get to the next book.
I am in Rifthold (QoS) and LA/New York (funny thing happened on the way to the future). #whereareyoumonday
pickThis series keeps getting better with each book. I loved the growth of the characters and the continuing of the series. I rated the book a 4 out of 5 stars.
pick5/5 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕

I crochet, watch movies and shows, I have great set up on blue sky for interest based feeds. Right now I'm keeping up with American Idol.
I recommend reading something fluffy.

pick🔥 best book in the TOG series so far! “You make me want to live, Rowan. Not survive; not exist. Live.”
pickDid i stay entirely way too late to finish this? Yes. Was it worth it? Yes. Those last 100 pages again. Up and down with my emotions.
I have been listening to this series on libby. Well my library doesnt have all of them. So i guess i will read it. Lol
So, again, the french edition is two books for the 4th in the series... But the cover is gorgeous :)
Finally…silence.
I loved this book. To me it's the best in this series so far and they are all good.

I know this is a constant subject…..but abraxos IS Toothless. I can‘t get over it 😂😂 also queen of shadows is utter chaos.
pickAbsolutely loving reading this series. I got very grumpy with anything which took me away from reading this. Manon is probably one of the highlights of this book - such a great character with amazing development. Need the next one ASAP!
pickThis book is pretty much an adrenaline rush from beginning to end. So much action, so many reveals, some unexpected turns. I find myself drawn to so many of the characters, even some of the less sympathetic ones. This does not stand on its own; it won‘t make sense if you‘re not reading the series in order. And oh, am I looking forward to the next book!
There are about a hundred other books I SHOULD be reading today - but all I've wanted to do was finish my reread of this book! 🤭💕📚 #catsoflitsy #rumpel #littenkitten
I spend a lot of time sitting in doctor‘s offices with my hubby these days, but at least I‘m getting a lot of reading done. I am so hooked on this series. Trying not to binge read—I‘ve made a deal with myself to read at least one other book before I start the next in the series.
One of the most frustrating things about the early parts of this series is how often the young women dismiss each other as shallow, vapid bimbos who automatically qualify as The Enemy.
One of the best things about its later parts is how they realize this is bullshit and they team up to support each other and maybehopefully save the world.
I finally finished all the novels I had out from the library (and, sadly, bounced off a thriller I purchased a couple months back and really looked forward to), so it‘s on to QUEEN OF SHADOWS! Jade‘s sister, Ivy, is a solid reading buddy for this one, since she avoids household sunbeams at all costs. Give her a shadowy napping nook and she‘s a happy, happy girl.
pickHave been waiting for all that goes on in this book for a long, long time, and SJM delivered!!! This is the best one yet from the TOG series. More there is to come and cannot wait to see how it develops. Again I must say Aelin is one of my role models, my hero.
pickSo intense!
FULL REVIEW: https://abookandateacup.blogspot.com/2018/11/review-queen-of-shadows.html
Chugging along and now starting the 4th book in the Throne of Glass series. I'm really getting into it now.
pickHoly frick. I‘m at a loss of words. So much happened and I soaked it all up. The last books were incredible world building for this one to go full blast the whole time without any real confusion or hiccup. Usual Maas manner, built up to final 100 pages. Though here, it was earlier. I adore Rowan and am glad Chaol is over himself. Did not expect this glorious book to be so GOOD. Still not sure on Manon. I love Lysandra. #sjm
THAT ENDING TWIST 😱
so-soAelin and her court are desperate to bring back magic to the realm to overthrow the king and his demonic army. Book hashes out many plans to obtain certain objects to help in their endeavor. Still having a hard time being excited about this series but it‘s going somewhere… just not in this book 🐌😴
pickI love when an entire series is out in paperback and I don‘t have to wait for the next book. Love this series so far..”Let‘s go rattle the stars”. Love Rowan and Manon the witch. Every character in this story has a place. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ How is every series by this author this good?!😁💪🏽🌞
I literally want to gag every time I read a Chaol POV. Like babe. Can we move past all of the murder already? What a self righteous a-hole.
pickMy fave in this series so far! I am feeling much warmer towards these characters and am beginning to understand the love people have for it . .. although, it's still no ACOTAR!
As I am currently working my way through this series I definitely think this shirt applies. Then again, it could probably apply to most things I read 🤔😂😜
“‘What if we go on,‘ he said, ‘only to more pain and despair? What if we go on, only to find a horrible end waiting for us?‘
Aelin looked northward, as if she could see all the way to Terrasen. ‘Then it is not the end.‘”

pickCeleana Sardothien, assassin, banished to Wendlyn for safety discovers that she's been withholding her true identity from even herself. She meets Rowan a fierce Fae Warrior who is tasked with training her once again. She hates Rowan, and the feeling is mutual. All she needs to do is train so she can get more answers to Elena's mysterious clues. This series is good enough that I forgot to write my review and went straight to the next book.
pickI felt like this one brought together so many storylines that have been building in the first few books. I loved seeing the different characters finally meeting & all the major shifts in their world. It‘s such a band of misfits, and I love that they all still have a sense of humor despite the war they are fighting. Manon‘s plot might have been my favorite in this book. She‘s learning how to question commands and make her own decisions as a leader.
As I finish the one book, I absolutely have to start the next book. This series is just that good 😊
