Cleared the #SeriesBingo for 2021 with the second volume of the Crumbley books. I managed to at continue or DNF many of my started series. Some I even got to finish! This challenge really motived me to continue reading on all my started series. Hopefully, it'll continue in 2022!

What a fantastic retelling of A Tale Of Two Cities! But don't worry, you don't have to know the origins of the story to enjoy this book. But you should be crazy enough to enjoy a crazy story. Hollywood is a mess. Bradbury just shows us how big this mess really is. I already liked the first Crumley book, but this one I loved. Most of the time I didn't know what's going on - and enjoyed the feeling of knowing where the story is going. Amazing!

TheSpineView Fabulous! I haven't read a Ray Bradbury book in years. 👍📖 2y
Jari-chan @TheSpineView Maybe you'll get to again at some point 😊 2y

The Bronzed Beasts | Roshani Chokshi

With this book, the trilogy comes to an end... And even though I'm not quite satisfied with how it ends, it was still a great book to read, and I loved diving into this magical, bewitched world. I fell even more for Zofia, she grew so much! Chokshi does have a great talent for drawing characters, but Zofia is exeptional. Her character development is astonishing. Guess I need to read more by Roshani Chokshi, right?

TheSpineView Excellant! 2y

Nope. Done. Already volume one was only a So-So, but it had some good action scenes and some nice dialogues, so I hoped I would like the second volume more. But nope. I'm done with this series, it's just not for me. The named library isn't of any importance at all, there's too much angst, too much romance, to little action, and sooo much boredom on my side.

Time of Contempt | Andrzej Sapkowski

Even though I'm very slow in reading this series, I still highly enjoy them. I love the atmosphere in the stories, and of course Geralt as a silent and sturdy hero. This volume is very political, and I admit I couldn't follow everything that was happening. But I take is as Geralt does - I keep aside, but with a watchful eye on what's going on. Maybe now I'll continue the series a bit faster, but I don't think Geralt really cares. Every book has ⬇

Jari-chan its own time and place, and maybe the Witcher series is mean to be read slowly. At least by me. It felt right reading this book now, and the next one will come along, when it's the right time.

Marissa Meyer knows what she does when creating characters. Not only does she write heroes we all would want to be friends with, but this book shows she also knows a lot about antagonists. With a lot of psychological finesse we learn how Princess Levana became Queen Levana. We go there step by step, every little crack, every tiny itch, all her thoughts...

The finale to the trilogy, and it is a very, very good ending. Loved it, actually. Again, it's a feel-good book, even though sometimes the Harry Potter vibes were a bit too strong. But I loved seeing how Elizabeth grows and matures, how her family grows, how she and Freddy solve the puzzles... A lovely series, this is, and I'm glad to have read those books ❤

It's always hard to say Goodbye, but a good final instalment makes it a lot easier. It's a good ending, very good even. Lu took a little longer for me to really get into him, but he only needed a little more time.

See you around friends, 'coz the best never rest!

Such a great story with lots of lovable characters. And good food. And magical food. Who doesn't want that? 😄 But there's also a lot to learn for the whole family, not only for Leo. We read about friendships, telling the truth, and loyalty. About fairness and grief. All that with the perfect amount of magical sprinkles 💛

Surprisingly, I enjoyed the second book a lot more than I did the first one. If it wasn't for a random pick, I might wouldn't even have continued reading the trilogy. But now I'm hooked. I was emotionally fully involved, wanted to hit Lila several times, and to hug Kell really, really tight. Well, now I'm all up for the next volume!
