I just started listening to The Familiar today. Please tell me it gets better. I am not feeling this one at all. Reading it for #AuthorAMonth reading challenge. @Soubhiville
pickI did not expect to like this book, but it drew me in, and by the 2nd half, I couldn't put it down! The storytelling, world building, characters, and magic all hooked me! I wasn't wild about Six of Crows, the only other one of Bardugo's I have read, but I decided to give her another try since she is our March #AuthorAMonth. I'm so glad I did! I will definitely pick up the sequel and continue with this story! @Soubhiville

Finished last night for March‘s #AuthorAMonth It‘s my first Leigh Bardugo (I have Ninth House sitting around somewhere) & overall I liked it. It did take time to get into it & it drug a bit but I found the story, setting (Spain in the 1500s) & blend of historical fiction & fantasy interesting. I liked seeing Luzia‘s power & confidence grow & found the Jewish magic & mysticism during the time of the Spanish Inquisition compelling.
About half way into this book and struggling to get through it. I guess ghosts and secret societies are not my thing. I'm going to see how much I get through this weekend and then make a call on continuing. I just can't seem to get into it and couldn't care less about what happens to the characters for some reason. I think if I don't finish I might try at a later date because maybe it's just my current reading mood.
This book should be right up my alley, but for some reason I just can‘t get into it. I checked out something else for #authoramonth so I‘ll see how that goes.
pickI thought this was a really solid YA fantasy trilogy. Glad Bardugo was chosen for #AuthorAMonth, otherwise these books may have sat unread on my shelves for who knows how long! My editions also included a short story about Genya and a prelude about The Darkling as a child.
I‘m planning to keep an eye out for a used copy of the Six of Crows Duology, and I expect I‘ll like that just as much if not more. 🙂👍👍
Hi from Venkman 🐱🖤
2nd #AuthorAMonth read for March. A little darker than book one but still as much fun.

Look what arrived as I was writing my review for book one. So I‘m putting Bardugo‘s Wonder Woman book on hold so I can read this one! #authoramonth @Soubhiville
Btw, I hate this cover.
pickMagic at Yale! Alex, a druggie who barely survived a murderous rampage, is recruited to go to Yale so that during her spare time she can go undercover at the Ninth House—Lethe. Not because she‘s brilliant but because of her unique ability to see ghosts. Lethe helps the other 8 houses during their ritual magic ceremonies by keeping ghosts at bay, from interfering with the magic. But Alex is a girl from the streets so she approaches her job quite ⬇️

The books on my Kindle “shelves” with a #KeyHole on the cover. I‘ve only read the tagged book so far although I‘ll be reading The Briar Club next month for #AuthorAMonth & @JacqMac ‘s #AuldLangSpine list. The other 2 are in my #TBR
