#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOSF Book 5: Ch.37-39: well - it‘s about damn time and also: 🪭🔥 - but I hate that Nesta is still all about holding herself back from Cassian emotionally. I felt so bad for him when he left afterwards. “Just sex” indeed. Good for Nesta finding her confidence more using a sword. She‘s getting there. The training was a good idea for her and all the girls.

#LittensLoveRomance: Ch.17-18: Evie thinks her time in the Duke‘s world is over - and to be fair he hasn‘t clarified that he intends to marry her. He kind of just sent her out into the hallway after their liaison. But I do think she has her pride and that may get in the way of their romance. And so will Rory - I know he‘s lurking around, ready to pounce and ruin things. Hopefully Evie and Max are made of stronger stuff.

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOSF Book 5: Ch.34-36: whew, these chapters were intense! And we finally see Nesta become Lady Death. I wonder if Rhys will let her keep that mask. An army of the dead may come in handy. Is Cassian ready for more of Nesta‘s dark power? Will he help her through it? Of course he will! That boy is over the moon. He was ready to jump in that bog after her. Wish we could all get us some Cassian.

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.15-16: Evie is coming out of her shell and actually doing well in the duke‘s circle. But his past with Rebecca is a sad one and no wonder he doesn‘t want to make that mistake again. That is until he finally gives in and kisses Evie in the library (every romantic bookworm‘s dream 😏). He‘s gone over her - and he knows that if he wants her, he‘ll need to be honourable and propose. At great risk to his heart.

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOSF Book 5: Ch.31-33: Eek! The end of that last chapter! Nesta had better summon her powers - and quick. Do we think that those autumn soldiers are under a spell or have they defected from Eris‘ command? Does Beron know that his son has betrayed him? And what‘s taking Cassian so long to dispatch of those soldiers and get back to Nesta? This bog is creeping me out!

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.13-14: well these two, honestly- they need to start being honest with themselves and not so damn practical. Although that was an amusingly awkward conversation after the kiss. I hope now that Delia is around, she‘ll be able to steer Evie into the right direction. Or at least glean what Evie really wants. And here‘s hoping Rory gets trapped down a well.

#LittensLoveRomance “When you smile that adorable crooked smile you‘ve got it makes me rather lose my head.” 💕

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOSF Book 5: Ch: 28-30: a lot to unpack from these chapters. First - and clearly most importantly- so glad the girls have a smutty book club. We all need one of those. Secondly, we get to see a glimpse of Nesta‘s power - and it has Rhys scared shitless - that tells you something. I loved how protective and worried Cassian was - the boy has it bad which is just what Nesta needs. ⬇️

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.11-12: So typical for Rory to show up when he thinks something might be in it for him. What a grifter! I hope Evie sees through him, before he ruins things for her. Now the duke, that‘s a nice distraction- but it‘s good she‘s trying to remain cautious in her feelings for him, & in her expectations. Cinderella stories don‘t honestly happen in the real world- HEA is a rare thing. But maybe she can allow a small amount of hope?

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOSF Book 5: Ch. 25-27: Nesta is building her own inner circle with Gwyn and Emerie. She can be Nesta with them, as Cassian noticed. It‘s a shame she can‘t act better with her sisters but maybe there‘s too much history and trauma to unpack. Been there, Nesta, been there. She‘s slowly becoming Nesta with Cassian. Physical closeness will bring them closer mentally as well I think. ⬇️

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.9-10: Well, there were tame shenanigans- touching hands without gloves, lingering glances, tripping into each other - but it did get them both hot and bothered. And then the duke avoided her all week! Boo. But I totally get why with his experiences. It‘s nice to see the attraction is on both sides though. Here‘s hoping they realize it sooner rather than later. I‘m also glad Evie is getting a bit of confidence. She needs it.

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOSF Book 5: Ch. 22-24: My My, things are getting steamy in the House of Wind. This back and forth between Cassian and Nesta is fun to read. Poor Az, he‘s not the greatest chaperone haha. I‘m sure he doesn‘t want to be pulled into their complicated mess. I‘m glad Nesta finally got someone to agree to come to training. It‘s nice that she‘s focused on this task - a win might help her move on to the next.

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.7-8: Shopping on a Duke‘s dime - must be nice (and she deserves it). But I‘m glad we established he‘s rich and not one of those aristocrats who‘s deep in debt (like so many were at the time) - Now we find that she can‘t dance - rather than having her scandalously join him at his empty house, why doesn‘t he just pay for a dance tutor? I sense some shenanigans might happen with them being alone.

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOSF Book 5: Ch.19-21: I‘m giddy with the baby announcement obviously- but it will complicate things for sure. Feyre won‘t be able to help in the war effort which will stress her out. And Nesta - sigh - she‘s the most prickly cactus. Thank goodness we can see her thoughts or we‘d still hate her. At least we know she feels bad when she says something terrible. I wish Cassian knew she cares for him and wants him. ⬇️

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.5-6: Evie certainly has rotten luck- I really hope her books will be okay.she‘s lucky more damage wasn‘t done. And Duke Max to the rescue with the insurance and with getting her a place to stay. How could she say no? I‘m also glad she realizes Rory is kind of a moron. The book he gave her - It reminded me of a gift I once got - so out of touch. I‘m glad she‘s smart enough to see that. Will he bother her at the Savoy though?

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOSF Book 5: Ch.16-18: just when we think Nesta is making progress…she picks a fight with Elain. Of all people. I love that Cassian won‘t let her back down from him and what‘s bothering her. He won‘t give up - I think that‘s what she needs. But it might put him in a bad position of fighting with Rhys, who is definitely not a Nesta fan. ⬇️

#LittensLoveRomance ch.3-4: The wager is made. At least the duke is telling Evie about it. I was worried we‘d have a “She‘s All That” scenario where the main girl is unaware of being played. At least in this way Evie gets a bit of a say - if she says yes. What could entice her to do this, I wonder? Maybe to show people she‘s capable? ⬇️

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOSF Book 5: Ch.13-15: Well, what a way to end that chapter 😅🔥I think she and Cassian both would feel a lot better if they got each other out of their systems. But I also think their attraction is so deep and their relationship so complex that there‘s no getting each other out of their systems. When it does happen though - wowza. ⬇️

#LittensLoveRomance: Ch.1-2: a refreshing start to this historical romance, set in the late 1800s. I appreciate that the duke‘s been married before (although that certainly is a sad story) and I appreciate that his cousin has a job and has been married 3(!) times. You can tell that society is not nearly as stringent as in say, an earlier regency romance. ⬇️

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOSF Book 5: Ch.10-12: finally Nesta pulls her head out of her bum. It‘s only one training session but every little bit helps. Cassian is so patient with her. I know he felt bad for saying that everyone hates her - even though Nesta provoked him. At least it seems they‘ve made their peace - for now. But what favour will she ask of him? Hopefully not something stupid like getting her wine. ⬇️

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOSF Book 5: Ch.7-9: well. I think we could all use a House that feeds us. I want to go to there. But I‘ll need to fly in - I probably couldn‘t do much more than 100 steps either. So Nesta is having decent human conversations - she meets two Fae females, Gwyn and Emerie. I think these characters will be important to her story. ⬇️

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOSF Book 5: Ch. 4-6: Poor Cassian. If he doesn‘t strangle Nesta for her behaviour, Morrigan certainly will. Someone needs to put her in her place. To humiliate him in front of the Illyrians was low. Even for her. I wonder what will finally make her decide to train and stop putting up walls to keep people (mainly Cassian) out.

#LittensLoveSJM @LitsyEvents I wanted to post this early since I‘ve seen some interest. After we finish the final instalment of #ACOTAR, I will be hosting the #TOG series by SJM. I‘d like to say that I‘ve heard great things about the series but most say it takes a couple books to really get into the world. She started writing the series as a teen so keep that in mind. Also, there are different views on how to read the series: ⬇️

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOSF Book 5: Ch.1-3: I hate Nesta. I‘ve always found her to be a miserable crone. But man, SJM really knows how to get my emotions roiling. Now I feel for Nesta, damn it. I mean, I feel for all of them, but finally getting into Nesta‘s head is so powerful. We catch a glimpse of what she‘s going through. Heavy stuff. A therapist would make a killing. ⬇️

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOSF Book 5 - a Fast turnaround time but I think we‘re all looking forward to the final (for now) instalment in this series - we‘ll start on Monday and read 3 chapters a day until done - probably by mid June. I‘m tagging those that have expressed interest but please let me know if you want to join or be removed from the tag list. @LitsyEvents

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOFAS Book 4 Ch. 28 and Review : Although not as action packed as previous instalments, I really liked this book because it gave insight into our characters and will provide a good bridge to the next book. I‘m looking forward to some more Cassian. Nesta…not so much. Who knows - maybe she‘ll change my mind. I‘ll post a reading schedule for Book 5 soon for those who want to join me.

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOFAS Book 4: Ch. 25-27: I think Feyre‘s plan to use art as therapy is a great idea and I‘m glad she got help from Ressina. I like that she‘s making future plans and is working towards things she wants. Maybe she should drag Nesta in there. Lord knows she needs some therapy.

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOFAS Book 4 Ch.22-24: Kay, SJM - where‘s my fan? You make me want to air bnb a cabin in the woods. Tamlin has really completely fallen. In a way, does the dead elk symbolize him? Doesn‘t his beast form have elk antlers? Maybe I‘m wrong. What do we think was in the woods watching Mor? Hmm, could it be Bryaxis or something entirely new?

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOFAS Book 4 Ch.19-21: Nesta Nesta Nesta. You gotta snap out of it! See what‘s offered in front of you. Cassian (in all his glory) but also family and friends and life. What do we think Feyre wished for her birthday? I have my theory - can‘t wait to see if I‘m right.🧑‍🍼

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOFAS Book 4 Ch.16-18: Feyre wants everyone to be happy and is not able to help meddling a bit. She‘s always been like this so we can‘t blame her. But I‘m sad for Lucien. Band of Exiles indeed - sounds like a children‘s club or something. Tamlin is an ass for pushing his only friend away. Speaking of friends - how great is it that the boys have an annual snowball fight? Love those characters.

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOFAS Book 4:Ch.13-15: first off, this made me laugh: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1EdHtawpBV/?mibextid=wwXIfr - Nesta is driving me a bit crazy. Poor Feyre - she‘s trying. Nesta is being so miserable and acting like a cow. Where‘s a therapist when you need one. I‘m trying to be sympathetic but she‘s making it hard. Also, I love how much Feyre wants to help those in her city.

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOFAS Book 4:Ch.10-12: Rhys goes to see Tamlin and it does not go well-no surprise there. Kind of sad to see how far he‘s fallen though. I don‘t begrudge Rhys for saying what he did-even if he feels guilty afterwards, some things had to be said. Maybe Nesta should join Tam and they can be miserable together. B/c Nesta is going through it and not accepting help from her family. I think an intervention may be in order.

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOFAS Book 4: Ch.7-9: first off - it must be so hard to be a leader when there are dissenters and grumbling amongst some of your people. How hard it will be for Rhys and Feyre to keep peace. Second, Cassian is such a great person - even though they hate him he wants to help the Illyrians who are at risk. I wonder if we‘ll learn more about Emerie. ⬇️

#LittensLoveRomance with almost half of the votes our May read has been selected! I‘ve never read this author but I‘ve seen her books around for years so I‘m looking forward to trying her. We‘ll be starting mid May and reading two chapters a day (or at your own pace). Please let me know if you want to be tagged in my daily posts. @LitsyEvents

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOFAS Book 4: Ch.4-6: I liked these chapters because we‘re getting to know our characters even more. I especially liked reading Feyre and Rhysand‘s scene because I just ❤️ them so much. I love how they take care of and respect each other. Morrigan‘s scene was sad. Her memories of the worst moments of her life brought to life was difficult to read. I still think Eris is a prick not worth trusting.

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOFAS Book 4: Ch.1-3: We have three POVs this time - Feyre, Rhysand and Cassian- which I thought was neat. It‘s clear that things are not all HEA after the fight with Hybern. I appreciate that SJM acknowledges that people suffer from emotional trauma and PTSD and it doesn‘t just go away. All of our characters are dealing with things or keeping themselves busy in order to avoid. ⬇️

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOFAS Hey guys! On to the next in the series. Some say this is book 3.5, some say 4, some say it‘s a novella - I prefer to think of it like a BBC Christmas special. Either way, it‘ll be fun to dive back into the world of the Inner Circle. It shouldn‘t take us too long and we‘ll read 3 chapters a day (or feel free to read at your own pace). Let me know if you want to be tagged on my daily posts.

#LittensLoveRomance - it‘s nearly May already and that means it‘s time to vote for our next read. https://forms.gle/B4vAedu3PSXb2iW78 As always, please let me know if you want to be removed or added to the main tag list.

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOWAR Book 3: Ch.78-end A very good wrap-up - with some things still left unsettled (those pesky mortal queens!) but progress being made. Feyre‘s trying to keep her promise to the Suriel and trying to make the world a better place. I‘m looking forward to the next book and more adventures with our friends - here‘s hoping my emotions can take it! I will post a reading schedule for Book 4 shortly.💕

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOWAR Book 3: Ch.75-77: well thank the cauldron things turned out okay. I was getting ready to riot! Why do you have to toy with my emotions SJM!? Rhys…giving everything- so like him. Such a great character. And Tamlin finally moving on - redemption there I think. We‘ll finish the book tomorrow since there‘s not much left.

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOWAR Book 3: Ch.72-74: Okay, I had to put down the book for a sec. WTF Amren!? Do we give her the benefit of the doubt? Or does she have her own motivations at this point? I was shocked but maybe I shouldn‘t have been. We can‘t forget that Amren is not like the others and never has been. Also, I‘m kinda loving Nesta now - it has come full circle and I want to see her story with Cassian. ⬇️

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOWAR Book 3: Ch.69-71: these chapters were filled with highs and lows and death blows and minor triumphs. The battle - Hybern - still feels like a foe they cannot conquer. That cauldron is brutal. They have to defeat it first. But it might fall to Feyre and Amren alone. ⬇️

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOWAR Book 3: Ch.66-68: we finally learn Mor‘s secret and the reason she plays with Azriel‘s feelings sometimes. Can Az handle the truth? Could the rest of the Inner Circle? I hope Feyre‘s excursion to get the bone carver pays off. I wonder at what all she saw in the mirror? I hope her monsters really tear into the Hybern army. And hopefully this time when she disappeared- she left a note.

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOWAR Book 3: Ch. 63-65: whoo - what another crazy few chapters! I was on the Edge of my seat while they were making their escape from the camp. At least Ianthe was finely useful - in death. I kinda wish that Feyre‘s magic was unlimited haha. She‘s always using it to the point of draining her battery. Pack a charger, girl! Also, are we shipping Az and Elain? Cuz I kinda am…⬇️

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOWAR Book 3: Ch.60-62: Ianthe gets the ending she definitely deserved. I was surprised - as a know-it-all high priestess - that she didn‘t know where she was or the danger the Weaver‘s cottage posed. But I‘m not sorry she gone. I was sad for The Suriel - a dreamer as well. A lonely dreamer who sacrificed to make the world better. Poor Feyre. ⬇️

#LittensLoveRomance A sad ending? but also one filled with hope. What do we think the three words were on the postcard? I think she finally said I love you - I think she needed time to heal and is finally ready to let him know what their connection meant to her. I wonder where her mom and siblings went. Obviously away from Ritchie and that‘s the important thing. ⬇️

#IDLR #InDeathLongReadalong book 12.5 Ch.6-10 and review: sorry for the late post. I have the world‘s worst cold right now and even reading is a challenge. I enjoyed this whirlwind novella but I found it a bit too speedy for some bits of info that were divulged - like the fact that Roarke‘s father could have known Eve‘s in Dallas. We‘ll have to spend longer on that tidbit I think. ⬇️

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOWAR Book 3: Ch. 57-59: remember when we talked about desperate times? Seeing the battle going poorly causes Feyre to look for the Suriel once more so she can get answers. And without even offering it anything in return, the Suriel is very helpful. It must respect Feyre because we learn it wasn‘t so forthcoming with Ianthe. But now it may pay with its life. ⬇️

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.50-53: In a nice twist, Park‘s father - who really is a decent guy - gives him permission to drive Eleanor to her uncle‘s. I only hope her uncle takes her in. Poor Eleanor doesn‘t have any other options. I felt bad that she had to make the decision to leave her siblings. But in the end, she‘s right in that they would have been doomed from the start if she tried to take them. We‘ll finish with the final few chapters tomorrow.

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.45-49: ugh so scary. Eleanor‘s step dad is a predator and he needs to be stopped. I really hope she can get away from him and make it ok on her own. Props to Tina for helping her - of all people. That was surprising but in a good way. Kids need to stick up for each other. Now comes the goodbye 💔
