I started this expecting it not to live up to the hype, honestly. I'm 100 pages in and so far, I'm LOVING it.

Finally finished this trilogy! It's really fantastic. I'm not sure how I feel about the ending right now and I suspect I'll be rolling it over in my brain a lot.

A mild pick. 3.5 or 3.75. I did enjoy it and it was an easy enough read. Graham Gore was a fantastic character and it had some clever writing for him. It didn't make me feel any particularly strong feelings, however. Chose it for my library's book club and can't wait to see what the other members think of it.

thegirlwiththelibrarybag I saw her at the Melbourne Writer‘s Festival earlier this month and it was a great session! Loved hearing about her writing process (this was a written during lockdown book). Not sure if the podcast link will work outside 🇦🇺 but it‘s called The Book Show by ABC Radio National - if you were interested. https://www.abc.net.au/listen/programs/the-book-show/kaliane-bradley-rumaan-alam...

CoveredInRust @thegirlwiththelibrarybag Thank you! I am able to access it. I will definitely be giving it a listen 😊 3d
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @CoveredInRust, it‘s been edited down a bit but hopefully it‘ll enhance your book club chat. I really enjoyed how far down the rabbit hole her quick Google of the tv show she was watching took her. Lockdown certainly was a time! 2d

Coming up on the end of this series. Two sections left and I've got an inkling how it'll end, but I still wouldn't put money on it. Such a good series, though.

AileenRR You‘re right! I read this in high school and it‘s time for a re-read 1w
CoveredInRust @AileenRR It's been so great! It feels to me like one of those books that has events that work well for the book and the changes they made for the movie also worked well. Kinda like a good example of how stories can need change to work well in different mediums. 7d

It was.... fine. Fun. LOVED Vintage and Tormalin. Didn't care for Noon. Almost felt like she couldn't compete in terms of character interest. Would have loved MORE done with her personality. But the plot was also just fine. So.... it was fine.

I really enjoyed the first 3 volumes but I started getting very lost in the last 3. The back end of the series got a little too off for me. A solid 3 out of 5, though.

1. Anxiety is a little high and I'm dealing with plantar fasciitis, apparently.
2. Staycation through Memorial Day. I'm a librarian and Summer Reading is coming up fast so I'm taking 10 days to stay home, breathe, read, and take a break from people.

Officially on vacation. Took a trip to Barnes and Noble and picked up some much anticipated books. Now I'm diving into the second Little Mushroom book that does seem like it's going to make me cry quite a bit. Time to do nothing but read for the next 9 days ⭐️🥰

There were virtually no people on the stairs, or perhaps there were only a handful of people rushing about--fewer than usual.

This is a duology and this review is for the first book but omg. I loved it. Beginning to end. The ethics behind how humanity continues to survive an apocalyptic event. The toll of widescale killing on those who must carry it out to keep others safe versus the image it creates for the survivors. Seeing all of it from the perspective of a character who is NOT human, but not a monster either. I just loved this. Reading the second ASAP.

10 volumes of detective mystery and a woman who can hear lies. Not my fave detective manga--that's Don't Call It Mystery-- but really solid and doesn't drag out until it's uninteresting.

Not showing the covers cause even the covers are messed up. They're just larger versions on what's on the spine. It feels weird to rate this series highly but it is a really good version of what it's meant to be. One is a stalker and the other is a serial killer who takes his own stalker prisoner. Just about every trigger imaginable shows up in here and the complete 8 vols took me a while to get through just cause of content. Not for everyone.

I first read this for a uni class and, because we we had about a week and a half to read and discuss it, didn't pay a ton of attention to ENJOYING it.

After taking a step back from analyzing everything I read for academia, I'm slowly going back to rereading some classics I read back then. Some I have hated (side eye to Moll Flanders) but this one I'm really enjoying. It's entertaining as hell and has outrageous characters. And the HAIR. GAWD.

On the one hand, I'm glad this book exists for those who've enjoyed it.

On the other hand, this is not for me. It's not even the smut this time... it's that I probably shouldn't be LAUGHING at it. Once the Christian Gray (grey?)-esque stuff started, I couldn't take it. Another one for pango.

I think I'll be giving up on this series. There are some things in the story that bug me and a particular thing that I'm finding fairly triggering as I continue on. It's otherwise cute and includes interesting recipes.

Started this one last night. Reads quickly but isn't particularly grabbing me. Seems like this Hades is going to be the Good Guy opposite to... Literally every other god (a few exceptions apply). That's a hard balance to strike.

Previously I tried another book by Robert without knowing it was a reverse harem/why choose and HEAVILY smut. I don't mind smut, but not if it's saxrificing the plot. As I understand this one is more concerned with plot.

Didn't love either of these. Seaside Stranger drags for me and I don't love that both of the men are in their 20s but look like they're in their mid teens in the drawings. Tamon's B-Side was cute for several volumes but it's getting a little TOO dramatic and repetitive. Which is fine, it's just not for me.

Going book shopping later this month and the goal is to get through 50 of my unread manga by then. Here's 1-10. It's rainy and pretty out today.

Also, has anyone read anything amazing lately (not just manga, though. ANYTHING) that you recommend I check out?

Honestly more like between pick and so so. I'm just not huge on YA anymore as personal preference, but this was pretty cute. Appreciated that the characters acted like their age group (17-18) rather than either preteens or adults who are nearing graduating from high school. It really rang true for me. Also loved that the mc was willing to change her mind about people when she was...presented with new evidence, we'll say 😆

Starting this one today. Got it as a $5 offer at BandN cafe without realizing it was YA. I'm not doing so well with YA lately but I've heard good things about Lynn Painter.

This was a hilarious romp. I love when Death is an actual character! Definitely recommend this one. Imperfect characters being human, even when they're not human.
