Mehso-so

FINALLY finished this book! I kept getting bored and wandering off - I even read another (much better) book in the middle. Even when I was gripped by it, I found I wasn't really enjoying it. Annoyingly, I do still kinda want to know what happens, so I'll probably read the next one 🙄
11/20 ⭐️⭐️⭐️

And I wasn't old enough to be wise, so I loved her more, not less, because I knew she would be taken from me soon. 💔

Book shoppin'/coffee stoppin'!
I was forced, FORCED, to buy this as a buy one get one half price because my husband could only find one book he wanted ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I think I might give myself a break from Glass Sword and have a go with this instead.

FourofFiveWits I like that cover. 8y
BonusPumpkin @FourofFiveWits It's a pretty one, eh!? I was suckered by it. 8y
JPeterson Yes! I enjoyed this so much better then Glass Sword. It was cute and whimsical. Also, that cover is lovely! 8y

BonusPumpkin @JPeterson I'm already enjoying it so much more! In 13 pages, Naomi Novik has managed to completely steal my heart in a way that Victoria Aveyard didn't manage in two books! The relationships are just 💔 8y
BonusPumpkin @JPeterson And I totally fell in love with the cover! 😍 8y
LornaDH My husband and I share book deals all the time. :) Might have to try this one. 8y
Marissaleigh I have seen this book numerous times, but not that cover, it is gorgeous! 8y
Mirshad There are so many beautiful covers for this book. I read the UK hardback from the library last year and this looks like it's by the same artist. I loved the book so much that I've bought a copy for one of my best friend's birthday. Hope she loves it as much as I did. 8y
BonusPumpkin @LornaDH Yay! I love a shared book deal 😊 My husband and I have rather different taste in books though, his is about theoretical mathematics 😂 8y
BonusPumpkin @Marissaleigh I just fell in love with this cover 😍 @Mirshad I like the sound of the hardcover! I'm sure she will, it's such a good book! 8y

Struggling to get into this one so far, I keep getting distracted 🙈

Recovering from my "Stardust" book hangover, and a very busy few days, by starting in in this one. I wasn't blown away by the first book but we'll see how this goes.

Ian Looking forward to seeing what you think of this as I also wasn't impressed by the first and I've been waffling on whether I want to spend ~$5 on it. 8y
BonusPumpkin @Ian I shall let you know then! Yeah I was the same, but I struggle to leave a series! I waited until payday though 😄 I'll let you know if it was worth it 👍🏻 8y

This book felt like wrapping myself in a big cosy blanket, I loved it. I just wish it had been longer!
I now have a very over-complicated rating system, yay!
Stardust gets 15/20 which converts to 4 stars out of 5 (don't ask me how, it just does) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Varshitha I have watched the movie. Want to read the book. 8y

Really enjoying Stardust so far, I'm on chapter 9 of 10 and so sad that it's nearly over 😢
I've been loving the chapter headings, I think this one is my favourite 😂

Echo I loved this book! 🌟🌟🌟 8y
BonusPumpkin @MKWoods Me too! Suffering a bit of a book hangover now 😩 need to get my thoughts together to post the review. 8y

Bedtime reading 😊
My first Neil Gaiman! 😱 Not sure how that happened but here I am now.
The film of Stardust is a favourite of mine so I thought this would be a good place to start.
Enjoying it so far but not very far in - too tired after the wedding yesterday, I keep having impromptu naps 🙈😴

I'm a bit late for @Liberty 's Fun Friday Photo but I just got home and I wanted to join in because I have this! The v. hilarious late Louise Rennison drew a poo for me 😂 And signed my friend's book that I'd borrowed ages ago, saying I'm a terrible friend 😂 she was amazing, she'll be so missed 😔

At a wedding today down in Biggar and we had a bit of time to kill, naturally we found the bookshop! Lovely little independent, great selection of beautiful editions and the lady was really nice and helpful 😍
Got myself Stardust and The Night Circus...I now want to skip the wedding! 😜

Overall I enjoyed it, and it definitely kept me on my toes! But I didn't really feel like I connected with the characters. The twists and turns were exciting and shocking at times but didn't really have much of an emotional pull.
A good read though, I'll definitely get the next one 👍🏻

I've been in a state of "Omg, what's going to happen!??" since the moment I started this one.

I think I'll need a little while to recover from this one! It ended the way it needed to I think, a really good conclusion to the series.
I found this one took me longer to get through than the first two, possibly a slightly more thoughtful read, less gripping but still engaging 👍🏻

BonusPumpkin Time to dive in to my TBR and work out what to read next! 😃 Suggestions welcome 😬 8y
