Hey guys! So I convinced my mom to join Litsy, and now she needs some friends! I have her entirely to thank for my love of reading, so it would be awesome if you could give her a big welcome and show her just how great the Litsy community can be! (Picture is of her baby, who is sure to be featured on her profile shortly 😂) ❤️❤️❤️ #litsywelcomewagon #dogsoflitsy

Ashley_Nicoletto Followed! Welcome @candyturbo 7y

I'm a little over a fourth of the way through this one and I'm really enjoying the way Taylor writes. She just has a way of making even the most grotesque things sound wonderful. #riar

Pickpick

This audiobook is so good. So, so good.

Laini Taylor is amazing... her world building game is strong, her characters are original and engaging, and her writing is beautiful. I cannot wait for the next book!

Steve West is one of my very favorite narrators, and he is fantastic on this one.

Excellent choice for #riar this month! I'm actually sad that it is over. 🙁

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

MidnightBookGirl Laini Taylor is amazing. 7y
sprainedbrain @MidnightBookGirl I honestly didn't think she could top Daughter of Smoke and Bone series, but I think maybe she did! ❤️ 7y
Laalaleighh Oh look jenni rated a book I'm positive will be amazing as amazing. And said it topped DOSAB. I really am just gonna start a bookshelf based on your likes. 7y

I am loving this audiobook for this month's #riar selection. Laini Taylor creates such gorgeous, in-depth worlds and characters, and I never want her books to end.

Also, Steve West is definitely one of my favorite narrators and I fangirled pretty hard when he liked my tweet. 😂

(His narration is wonderful on this one, too!)

ReadingRover I just finished it and it was amazing!!! 7y
julesG He's a great narrator. 7y

The fact that someone else in my area has already reserved this book (usually the older ones aren't reserved) in audio and in print version makes me wonder if there are a couple of other #RIAR readers near me in Bucks - which would be nice 😊

booksandsympathy Or maybe because of the movie coming out. 7y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @booksandsympathy, haha - you beat me to it! I'm feeling optimistic after seeing the trailer that it could be quite good. 7y
Magpiegem Yeah @booksandsympathy and @thegirlwiththelibrarybag it could be that but a girls allowed to dream ain't she 😄I would love to meet some local littens but it just isn't as big in the UK 🇬🇧 7y

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Magpiegem, I'm in Melbourne 🇦🇺 - I know there are a few local kittens but no one seems too keen on IRL socialising 7y
TrishB I think a few of us UK ones have suggested meet ups but we haven' t got anywhere yet! Think we are quite dispersed so we would have to pick somewhere and go for it. 7y
Magpiegem @TrishB which part of the uk are you? 7y
TrishB I'm in Liverpool 😀 7y
Magpiegem Oh I went to Uni in Liverpool @TrishB (LIPA) 😊I spent the early 2000's living on Smithdown Road 7y
TrishB I know LIPA well (I work at Liverpool Uni) and I live off Allerton Rd now - but lived off Smithdown for many years! 7y
TheBookStacker Also probably reserved because the movie is coming out in the spring 7y

Next to last question! #riar

Jennifer3 @collegecatlady I would have liked to know more about where Ani was headed in life and also about Andrew. 7y
minkyb I was just glad it was over. Not my favorite book! 🙄 7y

Question 8. #riar

Jennifer3 I sort of had sympathy for him but he didn't seem to care about Ani on more than a superficial level. He still wanted to focus on his needs and goals (London) with what appeared to be just needing Ani to go along with it. 7y
whelanmaria Hmm he appeared to me to be a mediocre white man who loved the idea and physical presence of a woman more than he loved his relationship and the core of who she was. His inability to empathize, or at least sympathize on a truly deep level, with her past pain and trauma irked me and made me deeply resentful of him overall. 7y
the-flashley @jennifer3 @whelanmaria I agree with both of you. I felt like Knoll had a difficult time writing his character. While I didn't like Luke at all, I feel like his inability to sympathize with Ani would be a trait of only the worst kind of person, and he was just kind of bland and boring. I don't think he really loved Ani, but I don't think he hated her either. Which just made me dislike him even more 7y
Jennifer3 @whelanmaria @The-Flashley I agree with both of you. I saw some areas of the story and character development I wish she had chosen to take the time to do. 7y
