Can't believe I've never read this series before. This was the best romance I've ever read. Highly recommend! If anyone has recommendations of what to read after the ACOTAR series let me know!!

I finished this one in 2 days. I absolutely love the world she built and enjoyed spending time with the characters, and it was beautifully written. I'm so glad this is the first of a series!

Best book I've read in a long time. The setting and characters drew me in so much that I devoured it in 2 days. The plot was perfectly paced so that I never wanted to put it down!

JenlovesJT47 I freaking loved this book! Probably my favorite book from 2020 ❤️ 3y

I just finished Fountains of Silence and loved it! It was beautifully written and atmospheric, and I really liked all of the characters. I found some parts to be slightly anti-climactic, but it was such an enjoyable read that I didn't mind.

I really had trouble getting into this one. The story is mostly sad for every character with (in my opinion) no real payoff at the end. It was a unique story, but I can't say I recommend it.

Just finished this (in 2 days) and I'm having trouble even finding the words to describe it. It was heartbreaking and beautiful and a story that desperately needed telling. I found myself crying and whispering "No!" into the pages, then later nodding along with the characters I was rooting for. Read this please.

atla Ooh, I have this on my nightstand TBR. You just bumped it up a few notches! 4y

Loved this book as much as the author's first, The Whisper Man. It was spooky and suspenseful and it kept me guessing. This is a great one for fans of thrillers!

Fantastic ending to this high fantasy trilogy. Made it about halfway through and then couldn't put it down so I read the last 400 pages in one night. If you haven't started the series yet go get started!

I read this in a single afternoon. The premise was unique and intriguing and I really liked the flawed main character. I would highly recommend this to anyone in the mood for a fantasy page-turner.

I enjoyed this one- it's beautifully written. It's not really a plot-driven story, more of a portrait of the women of West Texas.

It's been a long time since I read a book written so beautifully. Based on Norway's witch trials, this book is atmospheric, lyrical, and horrifying. You won't be disappointed!

The weather outside is frightful, so it's the perfect time to dig into Diane Ravitch's new book about education policy!

Best high fantasy book I've ever read, hands down. Fantastic world-building with great characters and a compelling narrative. Do yourself a favor and read it ASAP. I really hope Shannon will write more about this world!

The Chestnut Man: A Novel | Soren Sveistrup
Pickpick

This is the best book I've read in a while. I really liked the main character and the writing was really suspenseful, so I finished the one in 2 days. Perfect for fans of Jo Nesbo. Warning though- the murders are quite brutal, so this one's not for the faint of heart.

I really enjoyed this one, finished it in about 24 hours. It got off to a slightly slow start but it picked up before long and then I didn't want to stop reading. I recommend it for fans of thrillers!

Year One | Nora Roberts

This one was a page turner! It's the first in a trilogy. It has a lot of typical tropes of the post-apocalyptic fantasy genre but it's suspenseful and I liked all of the characters. The second book is just as good, and I'm reading the third now!

Ninth House | Leigh Bardugo

I absolutely loved this book! It was dark and immersive. I loved the atmosphere (perfect for Halloween season), the main character, and the mystery. Bardugo does a great job keeping us guessing and revealing little bits at a time so that you're always trying to put the pieces together. Cannot wait for the next one!

As soon as I got going with this book I couldn‘t put it down. Spent and entire Saturday in Daevabad. Cannot wait for book 3, and I can‘t recommend this series highly enough!

Finished it within 24 hours. It‘s a sequel so make sure to read Bohemian Gospel first. The main character is incredibly compelling and you never quite know where the story is headed, which is why I had to stay up most of last night and finish it!

I was not remotely ready for this to end! I wish she‘d just given us a simply happy ending instead of adding the whole Godstars and Stelians plot at the end, UNLESS she‘s planning to write another trilogy about it all. All I wanted was a few chapters of Karou and Akiva happy together!! That‘s all! If anybody knows about a follow-up trilogy, I‘m dying to know if it‘ll ever happen!

Devoured this book in just a few days. Took a little time to get used to the world and characters, but I ended up falling in love with both pretty quickly and then I couldn't put it down. Can't wait to see what the rest of the series holds, I only wish I didn't have to wait for more!

All Our Wrong Todays | Elan Mastai

I had a great time reading this over thanksgiving! The chapters are short and easy to digest, and the book's tone vacillates between insightful philosophy, fun musings on technology, and a sort of self deprecating wit. It was unlike anything I've read before, so the plot kept me guessing! This is one I'm recommending to everyone I know!

I absolutely loved this book, and the whole series! The characters are so lovable, and the author maintains a level of suspense throughout so that you can't put it down. If a rather dark and sinister trip to Victorian London appeals to you, this will not disappoint!
