I FINALLY READ IT!!!!
I‘ve been a huge fan of Paolini‘s work since I was in middle school, so of course I had to get my hands on this book as soon as I could. It took me a year and some change to read it, but I loved every second. It felt so good to be back in this world, and following my FAVORITE character too! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Finished this yesterday—not my favorite, that‘s for sure ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Absolutely FLEW through this at work today!! First time I‘ve read a book in one day in ages ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Just finished this cute YA romance ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

THIS. WAS. AMAZING. I loved loved loved this fantasy mystery so much, and I‘m excited for the second in the series! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It was very hard to get a picture of this that didn‘t have a cat in the way lol. I really enjoyed this!! The characters were interesting, the plot was unique, and I loved the world. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Read this for Mother-Daughter Murder Mystery Book Club with @AmyK1 this month! I was completely stumped by this one, and thoroughly enjoyed it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ while this sequel had a slower beginning, it really ramped up and I was HOOKED. Ina and Skedi remain my favorites

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ really interesting and informative!

Super cute, light teen romance! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Finished at work today—I feel like I would have benefited from reading the author‘s previous work, but I did enjoy this! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I swear I keep meaning to get better about posting reviews lol! This is the most recent of the books I‘ve read so far this year (just finished it before work this morning). I give this one a solid five stars—first of the year!!

Other books I‘ve finished this year:
The Diary Keepers by Nina Siegal (4.5 ⭐️)
Fearless by Cornelia Funke (4.25⭐️)
Sad Cypress by Agatha Christie (4.25⭐️)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ while the start of this book was a little slow, once the story got going I couldn‘t put it down!

Finally got around to reading this Lisa Wingate from earlier this year, and as expected, I really enjoyed it! I did feel that some of the dialogue was a bit TOO expository, but overall I enjoyed this one ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My mom @AmyK1 and I read this for our December Mother-Daughter Murder Mystery Book Club! For once, I did suspect the right person, though the whole plot was a LOT more complex than I expected! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

While I loved the first few stories, the last half felt like it had nothing to do with the rest and was only added because Chambers had them done and wanted them published. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ photo featuring a curious Goblin #catsoflitsy

This month‘s Mother-Daughter Murder Mystery Book Club read with @AmyK1 was so different from most other books I‘ve read, and so interesting!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I have not read this author‘s first book, but i absolutely fell in love with this one. Magical and historical and so, so interesting to read! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Finished both of these in the last few days—one the October pick for the Mother-Daughter Murder Mystery Book Club me and @AmyK1 do, and the other a highly anticipated history book! I loved them both so much, to be honest. Recommend!!!

While not as much of a mystery as other books @AmyK1 and I have read for our Mother Daughter Murder Mystery Book Club, this was a lot of fun!! I really enjoyed it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book was sent to me by a wonderful friend, and i really enjoyed it!! Amazing fantasy with super cool worldbuilding. Picture includes: the kitten who really wanted my attention when I was trying to take the photo. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This month‘s read for my mother-daughter murder mystery book club with @AmyK1
This one was my pick, and it was a wild ride! Every twist caught me off guard
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was such a cute, fluffy read—just what I was looking for! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ One of the best historical books I‘ve read this year!

While not my favorite Poirot, this was really unique and I was lost as to the solution for the entire book! Picked by @AmyK1 for our mother-daughter murder mystery book club this month!
Feat. Goblin, who really wanted to be in the picture. #catsoflitsy

Mild pick for me; I loved the writing and characters, but the ending made me so mad! I don‘t think I‘ll continue the series. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Had to take a picture of this one with my albums—loved reading about the history of some of my favorite bands and the scene they grew out of! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Another book finished! I did find this one more confusing than the Earthsea books I‘ve read before, but still a great read. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Loved this one as much as the first—and was just as stumped by it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Read with @AmyK1 for this month‘s mother daughter murder mystery book club

My work received the ARC of this new sci-fi epic, and I‘ve been devouring every word! Good for fans of Iron Widow and anyone who likes space, mech battles, and revenge. This comes out later this month (the 21st!) and I am so tempted to get myself the fancy edition with sprayed edges.

Two recently finished books! I finally finished Babel, after a year, and the other is a buddy read with @AmyK1 for mother-daughter murder mystery book club! Really enjoyed both, though I don‘t remember a lot of Babel…. 😄

I really enjoyed this book, my first by any of the three authors! I‘ve been very interested in the sinking of the Lusitania since reading Dead Wake last year, and this book was like the perfect treat. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Another book in my quest to read everything Gaiman‘s written (for adults, anyway). Not everything in this was a hit for me, but I really enjoyed most of them, especially the last one, Black Dog, and one in the middle about a cave in the mountains. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I saw this book on the shelf at work, and knew I just HAD to read it with my mom, @AmyK1 We enjoy reading murder mysteries and talking about them together, and we both liked this one a lot! Now I want to go kayaking, lol. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Got this as an ARC through my job at a bookstore.
I enjoyed this book and found it quite funny. However, I did find some of the plot, especially towards the end, very confusing, which detracted from my enjoyment. I can‘t tell for sure, though, if this was a book problem or a me problem. I also disliked the fact that the MC was never given a name. I understand why Bradley chose to do this, but I felt more detached from the main character. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book is a real-talk, lighthearted yet serious letter to young black girls all over America, from someone who understands them. I‘m not the target audience, but I loved reading it and related to quite a few things! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I feel like I learned so much from reading this—I‘d recommend it to anyone! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wow. I LOVED this book. So glad I suggested it for book club!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ the author was one of my professors in college (for creative writing) and I always enjoyed his classes—glad to say I enjoyed his stories too!

I picked this one up on a whim during a slow day at work, and I absolutely loved it! I‘ll for sure be looking out for lord of Holland‘s work. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book wasn‘t at ALL what I expected. Way more philosophical and introspective than I expected, but in a way I enjoyed! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

All three books in this series have blown me out of the water completely! I feel so much for these characters, and I‘ve loved this journey so much. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

She really stumped me with this one—I had no clue who it could be till the end! Not my favorite, but very good, of course. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was a really spooky book, though some aspects were vague to the point that Jade‘s conclusions seemed to come out of nowhere to me—I don‘t know how she put it all together! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Our most recent book club read, and not a favorite. At least it‘s short and easily readable! ⭐️⭐️⭐️

I really enjoyed reading through this mythology book! I learned several stories I hadn‘t read before.

3.75 stars for this book club pick. I didn‘t really like the short chapters combined with jumping between the narrators and constant time skips, but I did enjoy learning about these two women.

Larson never fails to provide a throughly readable and informative book. This one has the double honor of pulling me out of a reading slump, as it‘s the first book I‘ve managed to finish in a month… oops!

Book club pick! I really liked this one; though I didn‘t think the ending was very satisfying. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️😭

Soft pick; the writing style didn‘t seem to gel well with the subject, especially early in the book. I did enjoy it, though! ⭐️⭐️⭐️.75
