@Catsandbooks and @TheBookHippie thank y‘all for your review of this one! I had initially planned to skip September #RiseUpReads book as it didn‘t initially grip me (I‘m rarely a pirate person) but it was so so much more! 🩷🩷🩷🩷

This was laugh out loud hilarious fun fantasy read with demons and omens and evil under lords.

I loved to hate and laugh at Laszlo an 800yr old demon more interested in martinis than mayhem.

And I definitely fell in love with Maggie, a fiercely determined kickass woman that has no time for the chaos that is Laszlo.

I loved it! It was a little too long but still a fun ride.

5feet.of.fury It was so good! I found the ending a bit too chaotic. But Lazlo & Maggie‘s dynamic was wonderful. 1w

#RiseUpReads September

I loved The Wicked Bargain so much that it will be one of my favorite books of the year. I even read the sequel set in the same universe that happens after the first book but focuses on Dami.

What did y'all think?

peanutnine I loved it!!! Definitely a new favorite. The historical setting was so detailed and the world building around demons and magic so interesting! I loved the found family vibes. And I really liked Dami's character so I'm excited to read their book soon 3w
Jari-chan Totally agree! 💖💖 3w
ElizaMarie I couldn't get into this one when I first tried. But hearing y'all's reviews makes me want to see if I could do another attempt. Did y'all do audio or physical? Did that make a difference? 3w
IriDas We were moving last month so I only just started it today. Audiobook. My youngest and I had to go to his doctor who is about 1.5 hrs away so we read it there and back. So far, it‘s very enjoyable. We both like it. Can‘t wait to see where the story takes us. 3w
peanutnine @ElizaMarie I did audio and thought it really brought the story to life! 3w
TheBookHippie Oh I liked this one!! I loved the found family! I would have never read this so thank you!!! 3w

Wow! I haven‘t read a book like this…ever! It takes place in a world that, at first, seems normal, but as time passes becomes more and more strange. I LOVED the twist that dawned on me only immediately before it was revealed, and found the adventure extremely entertaining! I‘ll be thinking about Kess and her Museum of Unnatural History for a long, long time.

I listened to the audio of this book but had to show off my pretty special edition! 😍 I LOVED the story!! Give me pirates and demons and untapped magical potential, yes please! The found family aspect was especially lovely, as Mar struggles to trust in their relationships with others
I'm so glad #riseupreads gave me an excuse to finally read this one! @Catsandbooks

I went to the farmer's market and picked up some bacon quesitos and spicy gummies today. They are the perfect treat to have while reading 📚 😍

AmyG Oh yum to the spicy gummies. 1mo
InkedBookworm13 @AmyG yes! They were Tajin covered gushers. My kiddo got the taking covered needs clusters. Both were really good. 👌 1mo
InkedBookworm13 Wow. I need a spellchecker before posting comments. I meant to say she got the Tajin covered nerd clusters 1mo

This intergenerational story about family secrets, sisterhood, the masks people wear/the roles they play, reputation, & family honor never quite came together for me. In Korea, 105 year-old Hak Jeonga receives news that has her, & much to her dismay her sisters, rushing to America to deal with some family problems. At stake is the revelation of long held secrets that could shake the family. A low pick for me—I just wanted more from the story.
