“But what about the rest of us? What about the nobodies and the nothings, the invisible girls? We learn to hold our heads as if we wear crowns. We learn to wrong magic from the ordinary. That was how you survived when you weren‘t chosen, when there was no royal blood in your veins. When the world owed you nothing, you demanded something of it anyway.” Inej pg 460.

“I would come for you. And if I couldn‘t walk, I‘d crawl to you, and no matter how broken we were, we‘d fight our way out together. Knives drawn, pistols blazing. Because that‘s what we do. We never stop fighting. “ Kaz Brekkar

Grand gesture! I love this series. Cute, creative, and feel good stories that always make me smile. I‘m beyond excited to see we are getting a fourth book next year and it honestly sounds like it‘s going to be the best one yet.

Riley Sager has easily become one of my favorite authors. This is my third book by him and I can‘t get enough. This book was fast pace and kept me guessing. Perfect book for October. The twist had me like 🙀

Thank you Ruth for your courage, your relentless pursuit of justice, and for making the world a better place for women.

Couldn‘t think of a better time to start this!

So close to finishing this series! This one was way better than Glass Sword. I really was desperate to finish and can‘t wait to see how this ends. Book four arrives Thursday 🤓

I ended up loving this book and young girls everywhere should be required to read it. I was really surprised to read at the end how this was inspired by true events and goes to show why we need more books like this. The unlikely bond and friendship formed by these girls had me rooting for them til the end 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

LOVED this book and this series so far. I breezed through this in two days and honestly loved it more than the first book. Would love to see this as a movie series. Grand gesture forever. Mack is definitely my favorite 🥰

Challenge complete 🥳

Overall thoughts: Mare, you frustrate me so much! Cal, I think you‘re dreamy. The end. Excited for the next book

Almost done with this and happy to say I‘m actually loving this sequel more than the first book. Excited to see that there will be a third book in this series because I not ready to say bye to one of my new favorite detectives. I love the structure of this book and how it feels more like you‘re along side the investigation by reading the interviews, seeing pictures, and following along with the podcasts.

I can‘t recommend this book enough. I cried, I learned a lot, I remembered one of the reasons why I wanted to be a lawyer. The concept of justice feels broken, especially amongst minorities however if more of us speak out and lean on each other, justice can prevail. Keep reading, keep learning, keep listening. We all have a lot to do.

Book 17 of the year complete. I enjoyed this and already ordered the second book. Loved the spunk on the main character and her determination to follow her gut.

Quarantine 🧖🏻‍♀️🍷📚🛁

Fantastic debut novel! This really felt like a collection of short stories that revolve around a tragic event and how that event impacts the lives of these individuals. This book has it all: sexism, racism, injustice, love, rage, sexual assault, kindness, and most of all hope. I want more stories like this, especially ones that highlight women and their strength. This should be required reading.

“To be brave is to forsake all others, to be true to yourself. That is the vow of a confident girl.” Just finished this and I loved Glennon. Although I felt at times there was some repetition, I loved this book and feel like a goddamn cheetah!

Quick, cute, and just what I needed. Can‘t wait for the test of this series!

YES! Super excited to start this bad boy 😍

Listened to this after watching the movie and it was super cute 🥰

Just started this and enjoying it so far 😍

Unpopular opinion: wasn‘t a fan of this book. I was so excited to read it after seeing the trailer but I found the book often dragged. I liked the overall theme and some of the individual story lines but at times it felt choppy and not developed enough. I also felt like the ending was rushed. I‘m still going to watch the show as I love Reese and Kerry but I could have passed on this book.

“Each of us is more than the worst thing we‘ve ever done.”

What a perfect ending to a great series. I‘m so glad I picked this series up. I fell in love with the characters and this final book did a great job at tying up loose ends and giving everyone the ending they deserved. I‘m so sad it‘s over. I would love for Kevin Kwan to gift us in the future with some novellas! Now time to finally see the first movie.

I was hesitant to jump into this because I really hated ‘Bad Mommy‘ but my book club decided that we should try to give Tarryn Fisher another try. Unexpectedly, I ended up really enjoying this one. I was dying to know what was happening and was hooked until the very end. I‘m glad I gave her another try!

First read of 2020 complete! I definitely loved ‘Lock every door‘ better but this was still really good. The beginning was a little slow for me but then it picked up and I was really hooked. Pumped for his new book this summer.

Last book of 2019 was a 5 star read! I love Colleen Hoover and this did not disappoint.

LOVED THIS. It was a super fast pace read and I was quickly hooked. Another good thriller to finish off the year!

Obsessed with our book club pictures from @SheLovessToRead wedding ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

“To girls everywhere, I am with you.” I was in law school when this story broke and I will never forget the anger, the frustration, and the disappointment in our justice system. I couldn‘t wait to read this and I was impressed with Chanel‘s memoir. It was brave, raw, inspiring, and a great conversation starter. Thank you Chanel. I believe you and I support victims.

Mindhunter withdrawals 🔪🔪🔪

Love Ruth Ware! I will say that I did feel like this book was very slow at points however when it picked up, I was really into it. The ending has left me with so many questions though 😵😵😵

Favorite book of the year! I just finished this and its left me with such a book hangover. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Poolside with a book is one of my favorite places to be. This did have a slow start for me but I ended up liking it overall 🌞

Haven‘t listened to many audiobooks as I prefer to read BUT something about a thriller with a British narration hooks me every time. I‘m loving listening to this one 🔪🔪🔪

This library hold popped up today and I couldn‘t be more excited to start this. I love the podcast and have been dying to read to this 💀

“Never forget what you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness. Armor yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you.” - Tyrion Lannister wisdom 👏🏼

Had been on the fence about reading this but I caved and loved every second of it. I‘m so excited to start the second book and eventually watch the movie. I want to hear more about Astrid!!!!

Karen McManus thrills again! Really enjoyed our March pick and happy to say that I‘m definitely a fan of this author 🕵🏼‍♀️ #MarchReads #BoundByHallowsBookClub

Pleasantly surprised at how much I liked this! It‘s been awhile since I felt a thriller has really had me on the edge of my seat so I‘m pumped that this exceeded my expectations #ColleenHoover #BoundByHallowsBookClub

Last night was so cool!!!! Massive Nicholas Sparks fan so this was radical 😍

Talk spooky to me 🎃☠️📚👻 #TBR

...she opened a book and was therefore saved, discovering that a novel was as great an escape as any spell. She favored Jane Austen and the Brontes and Virginia Woolf, reading one book after another.

Finally enjoying cooler weather 🍂📖

I didn‘t love this book as much I hoped I would but I think it‘s because at times I found the timeline confusing and I knew a lot about the golden state killer from listening to podcasts. I will say that it is still worth reading and I‘m sad that Michelle McNamara didn‘t get to see the arrest of a lifetime. I believe her hard work and thoughtful research played a major part in what‘s about to happen.

SO GOOD 😍

I‘ve had this book on the shelf forever but the Netflix trailer got me to dust this gem off this weekend. I love it so far. I‘m so mad it took me this long to pick it up. All the talk about books in this perfectly describes what it‘s like to be so fond of reading ♥️📖 #AugustReads

I just hit the midway point of this book and I‘m obsessed!!!! Highly recommend! #JulyReads #TheFactOfABody #LazySunday #Bookworm

The Queen is back and better than ever! This story was gut wrenching and magnificently told. I honestly don‘t want to say much more about this except run to the store or to the library and grab this. Can‘t recommend this enough ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #AllYourPerfects #ColleenHoover #CoHorts #BoundByHallowsBookClub #Bookworm

Thank you @StMartinsPress for this #ARC! Just started this but loving it so far! #FindSadie #ReadSadie #BoundByHallowsBookClub
