When the Moon Hatched | 
pickAn excellent read! A meticulously crafted, immersive world, with vital and engaging characters. The dual timeline was subtle enough to work well without being confusing, and the romance was compelling in a believable way. I loved the different dragon types and how they seemed to mirror the elemental powers ingrained in the world. Sort of felt like a mix between an intimate story and a sweeping epic, if that makes sense. I really enjoyed it!

I just finished the entire Lux series, it‘s probably my favorite by the author Jennifer Armentrout. 💫
When The Moon 🌙 Hatched was also really good. I had to actually read it twice because it‘s a lot of world & character building. But it‘s a unique story which I always love a unique story. 🥰🩵 Happy Reading! 😃
pickLoved this read. A romantasy that has a world filled with dragons and moons. Great characters and each chapter is needed. I love Raeve and Kaan. If you like Court of Thorns and Roses this one is a must to read. 🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉
pickNewest finished book vs newest edition to my library
Had to drag myself through the first 20% but well worth the pay off. I saw so many complaints about the writing style of this. Growing up reading Tolkien, the writing style wasn‘t difficult to get through. 4✨ & I can‘t wait to get my hands on the next installation in October.
@TheAromaofBooks updated #BookspinBingo for #February hopefully can start tagged today for #goodreads since im snowed in 💖

#ValloweenSwap @WildAlaskaBibliophile @TieDyeDude everything is wrapped up & ready to go. Will take photo & drop off at the post tomorrow 🖤
I've been under the weather the last few days, so no coffee but flavored water instead.
Fun memory about this tumbler. My dad and my stepmom came to visit in June of '22 for my daughter's graduation. They went to their very first Pride to show support for her and had any amazing time. They bought a ton of stuff including this tumble for me. Everytime I use it, I think of that day and smile. 😃

A little late and not really the first line but this is a beautiful dedication. 😍
Saw this in a kindle group I‘m in - grabbed it for $0 after using my digital rewards but it was only $1.99 for kindle today!
#LCS @BookmarkTavern Your letter means a lot to me. Yes I have no self control around dark chocolate & it‘s absolutely delicious. I‘ve been dying to read this. Also that gift wrapping was too adorable not to include. Thank you so much! 💕 now off to the dentist 😅
& thank you @bookish_wookish for hosting. Happy reading everyone! #LittleChristmasSwap Viva viva la Befana!
Starting the new year off right! Spent the day cozy in bed with some popcorn, a fantasy book, and Rumpel! 😻📖 #catsoflitsy #rumpel
bailedI‘m so glad this was a kindle freebie because this is one of the worst books Iv read this year , it starts well but then disappears down the boring hole I found the world building tedious and at 259 odd pages still nothing has happened , I started to skim read it. I think romantasy books are either jam or marmite some are great some are truly awful and publishers are just desperate to publish more due to the current trend.not for me sorry
My #2024readingbracket is filling up fast! My fav this month was for sure When the Moon Hatched with Songbird and the Heart Stone filling in my last bonus spot! Can‘t wait to decide my top favorite of the year!
This book was a bit disappointing. I may have had higher expectations but still. It was good but not great. I do look forward to the sequel and did enjoy this one after a bit past the halfway point. The audio was good. It just had way to much going on in the descriptions. It could have been much shorter. The female, Raeve, used to many descriptions and was childish in parts. I loved the narrators.
so-soTook me way too long to read this book compared to others … had high hopes since everyone hyped this book up
It was okey don‘t get me wrong but a lot happens for nothing happening at all at the same time (hope you get what I mean) 🐉
pickI loved this epic fantasy chunkster. Our tough female assassin is so bent on revenge she has no interest in recovering the past. She does not see that love could be better than vengeance. The world building was great and reminded me of Priory of the Orange Tree- so if you loved that one you should def read this! I can‘t wait for book 2 next year! #serieslove2024 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickThis book is a 🌶️ fantasy romance (I didn‘t realize just how spicy when I bought it, but I‘m not mad about it lol). There‘s a trigger warning in the beginning with the full list of triggers in the back. There‘s a lot of cuss words, detailed descriptions of gorey fight/torture scenes, and a few 🔥🔥🔥 love scenes. So a bit of thick skin is required for this one. But if you‘re able to stomach all that, then quite the adventure is waiting… ⬇️
pickRaeve works as an assassin to the revolutionary group against the current king. When she gets caught she is sent to be executed only to find herself being whisked away in the mouth of a dragon. She only has vengeance on her mind after losing one close to her but her savior is determined to bring up past memories she‘s buried deep within herself. Such an amazing book! If you like big books and the genre just do yourself a favor k?😉
That‘s it. Kaan has stolen my heart. I don‘t care what anyone says. Lol. #bookboyfriend #dontjudgeme
Love the hand drawn dragon used for the chapter headers in this book. And I‘m loving the story so far, I hate when I have to put it down to be an adult lol.
In the mood for a chunky, epic fantasy so this one‘s up next 😊
pickI absolutely loved this book that is the first of a series and now am anxiously searching for book two‘s release date (which I can‘t locate) bc I must know what happens next and need to know how long I have to wait. I was lucky enough to snag a Waterstones special edition. It‘s with my recently finished Kaida Wooble dragon. ❤️🐉
“Sadness is like stones that stack inside you, making it harder to move.”
panI wanted to like this book. The world building was pretty cool and I liked the magical system of harnessing a god‘s power. But the characters drove me nuts. Mainly Raeve. Also, so many side quests kept occurring. I finished the book because I did (mostly) enjoy the main storyline. I felt like there were a lot of pages for very little story movement.
panThis novel might be the prettiest book of the year (looks really nice inside too). The mythology lesson at the beginning is quite interesting as well. Sadly, I‘ve got nothing more positive to say. The writing is supposed to be poetical, but it‘s just sentence after sentence shredded through a thesaurus. The FMC is annoying and overuses the word “c*ck” a lot. Romance goes from Enemies to Lovers in 5 pages.
Rating: ⭐️⭐️/5
#romantasy
pickI'm a huge sucker for a fantasy story involving magic and dragons, so I obviously gave this 5 stars.
This story has everything. Magic, dragons, mystery, plot twists, love, heartaches etc, etc.
Of course, it ends with a cliffhanger, I hope book two is just as good!
He grips both sides of my face, another flash of lightning filing the room with white light, his eyes volcanic as he says, “This truth is going to hurt, and you're going to hate me for it. But there's someone out there who needs you, and you're going to change their life even more than you changed mine.”
pickI loved this book. The world building is insane and the characters are expansive. I wish we knew more about the magic system, though, with the elemental songs element. Kaan is DEFINITELY a mix of Cassian and Rowan because they take no prisoners to getting their woman to take responsibility and be better. I had to take back a star because that ending tried hard to set up a Devastating cliffhanger and just missed the mark. I‘m invested either way
Visited Barnes & Noble today!🥰
pickWow this book was a wild ride over 700 pages and I read it in 17 days a book this thick normally takes me over a month , I just couldn‘t stop reading it if your a fantasy junky like me pick this one up , some trigger warnings, but I really enjoyed it and will definitely read the next one
