I love how weirdly different Pessl works are. I'm always amazed with the worlds and stories she dreams up.

Neverworld Wake was no different, from the get go I was intrigued and captured by the whole idea of a space between life and death where you have to make the decision you never would want to in life.
Even the unlikable characters didn't deter me from wanting to know. And as I sit here thinking it all through, I know I'll read it again.

Almost there. With these four I have only three left!

This one dragged on and on with back story information that I really didn't care about.
The only thing I enjoyed was Lisbeth's trail and the conclusion of the series.
The suspense and mystery was what got me into these books, but it was totally lacking in this book.

I have to start by saying I LOVE Jesse Vilinsky's narration!
She truly brought the story to life. Would love to get more of her work.

As for the story...
Antsy's is a tough one to tell, but McGuire does it great justice. And as always takes us to a place so wonderfully magical that you wish you could find your door.
I can't wait to see how Antsy will fit into the future of Wayward Children.

Quite the adventure!
H.G Wells's idea of the future is dark, scary, and sad I'm glad I only got to visit it briefly. The social stratification he explores is nerve-racking and made me think just how easy it could come to pass

Fast paced and engaging with a very interesting premise.
Even if it does seem a bit too unrealistic at certain points.
The fact that Hannah seems to know exactly what everyone thought and felt worked a bit on my nerves, but I could look past that and focus on the story.

As always McGuire takes us through a door to the most magical place you can dream up. I mean who doesn't want unicorns as cattle?

I'm waiting for all theses lost girls to get to Eleanor's Home for Wayward Children, to see how many of them will make it back to their magical worlds.

Two bird-related books checked off prompts. And they‘re both chock-full of great factoids and info on all things birdish. The pandemic connected me to my backyard in new ways. I‘ve always gardened but now I‘m feeding copious numbers of birdies. And taking their pictures. So much fun!

Another February #roll100 title finished in March.

In anticipation of watching Amazon Prime‘s Daisy Jones & the Six series when it released, I wanted something to get me in the mood without expressly rereading Daisy. This was just the ticket! Some similar themes here of rock ‘n roll, dealing with fame and music and art. There‘s also drugs and addiction, along with mental health all rolled into various ways these things influence people. ⬇️

This was a February #roll100 title I finished in March and had been languishing on my TBR shelf for a few years now.

I enjoyed Uprooted: I freakin‘ LOVED Spinning Silver! I loved the strong female characters here who refused to allow their circumstances to dictate who they can be. Novik masterfully creates such unique voices that I instantly knew which POV I was reading and those threads are slowly spun together into something very special.
