pickCelaena Sardothien has survived deadly contest and shattering heartbreak, now must travel to new lands to confront her darkest truth about her heritage that could change her life and future forever. Brutal and monstrous forces are gathering. She must find strength to battle inner demons, and the evil about to be unleashed. 4/5 I really liked this one. Love how all the stories from AB are starting to twine together. Bawled for some of this one
so-soI have mixed feelings on this book. On one hand it felt like a unique magic system. On the other I feel like I‘ve seen some of the plot play out when watching the first few seasons of ‘Vikings.‘ The FMC is manipulated and treated like garbage by all except the MMC. And all she feels is guilt the whole time for being a ‘bad‘ wife/daughter/sister. For 400+ pages. It was a bit exhausting. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
so-soOdd experience for me as an adult reader. I love picture books, when you can spend a brief moment in a little story, when consuming the text arguably takes less time than admiring the illustrations.
I enjoy a lot of graphic novels, where the image vs text consumption time is about equal.
But there's something about early reader level chapter books with a smattering of illustrations - it's like the ratio is off. 1/?
pick5✨ This was not a surprise 5 Star for me because I have read it close to when it was copy written in 2003/2005. I loved it then and I love it now! It also caused me to follow the author ever since. The princess Ani is forced to become Isi and the Goose Girl for the king of her arranged marriages land. All in her company died to save her, but the villain in this story did not anticipate the talents of Ani‘s animal speak, and her determination.
pickWas hesitant to read this thinking it was like all of the rest lately in the world of Romantasy. Loved this new world that the author has set up which mixes all of those creatures that we love. Not just fae but vampires and even a splash of witchery. Chunky book but it all needed to be there. 🧚🧚♀️🧚♂️🧚♀️ 2 nd book out Fall of 2025, 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
#LittensLoveSJM #TOG Book 1 Ch.13-15: hmm a simple archery contest as the first test? I feel like they‘re lulling the competitors into a false sense of security. Or maybe going easy on them simply because one of them was just murdered. Something is going on. It has to do with the King‘s secrecy and with the dead hounds I‘ll bet. Perhaps there is a predator - man or beast - within Adarlan. ⬇️
Happy Tuesday! Pride Reading challenge update.
I'm continuing to knock off LGBTQ books from my list. I read 6 books from my list plus 3 next in series books. I just had to keep reading to see what happened. I've really liked all the books so far and found some new authors to follow. 📚 🌈
pickAbsolutely loved this book!!! So difficult to put down. Easily my favorite read of the year so far. The origin story of Morgan LeFay, infamous Arthurian sorceress. I look forward to continuing this series. Read for #literarycrew
pickI nearly stopped reading a few chapters from the end. I was displeased. But she pulled it out in the end and even ended on a vaguely ominous happy note. On to the next in the series. #28-2025
Starting Sorcery and Small Magics tonight. And it's another pretty FairyLoot naked hardcover.
