Very cute, but probably could‘ve been shorter. An enjoyable read, and I‘d be open to reading the other books in the series!

Maybe I would‘ve liked this more if it weren‘t too similar in plot & theme as a couple of other books I‘ve recently read. Nice writing, but kinda blah. In this story, estranged sisters come back together and work through grief and trauma following the discovery of their mother‘s body- 15 years after she disappeared. #bookspinbingo #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks

I really enjoyed the first volume. I've wanted to read this for ages after watching bits and pieces of the show. It is very different from the show and I think much better.

Guo Changcheng was definitely my favourite. I related to him so much.

There was mystery, mythology, pining, and longing looks, all the good stuff.

I do hope the secondary characters get some development. It was great to see more of Wang Zheng and her past. Love to see more of the others.

#weekendreads finished tagged & adored! Takes a WHILE to get into. You get the gritty arena juxtaposed by the sweet romance although insta-love tied with political commentary & magical creatures 🖤

#currentread for a fable group. Half through & at the point where its about to go from 30 to 10364849. Sooooooo… should finish in a day/two since the MCs tension is too high for me atm 😆

CloakNQuill & I finished while waiting at the doctor today 😂 @TheAromaofBooks ill add to my bingo board this week #bookspinbingo 46m

I don‘t get the big deal about this book. It started off well but then it dragged. The premise is great though, and weirdly, I wanted Raskolnikov to get away with it! 😂 I didn‘t totally hate this book but I didn‘t love it either. I am glad to say that now I‘ve read this classic!

TheAromaofBooks After reading The Brothers Karamazov last year, I'm not particularly inspired to pick up anything else by Dostoevsky! 😂 13h

This is a really well done audiobook. Even if the story itself is a bit implausible. I did not read the first book. I think they are pretty loosely tied.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The first book I read this year is The Woman in Cabin 10. I had it on my shelf for a long time and finally decided to read it. I was immediately sucked into the story. With every chapter I was more surprised. I really did not see it coming. Especially not this ending. It was really quite a surprise. However, the story is missing a little something to give it a fifth star.

maich This year I made a #bookjar. For every book I read, I will put 1€ inside. We'll see how many coins I'll save up. 1d

This book was amazing. And I read it after returning from MD so reading icky things about their history made my head explode a tiny bit. I picked this for my IRL book club NF reads (not a democracy) based on feedback from @TheBookHippie and she was right about how great this book is. Highly recommend.

Enough with nonsense word salad. Be gone! 😂

The title is the only good part of this book.

4/80

Added a few more books to my current reading list - going for the #BookSpinBingo this month! With very cold weather and holiday I think I'll have a little more reading time than usual.

Make a great day everyone 📚
