I‘ve been a fan of Critical Role for years now, and this book is basically like candy for me! The twins were spot-on in their portrayal, and I loved reading this pre-game adventure. #bookspin

Sadly, I just couldn‘t get past the glaring grammatical errors (so. many) or the fullness of the story to like this one. I wanted to! It just was too rough for me. #newyearwhodis

This was a re-read, as I read it in college, but #newyearwhodis was a very good excuse to finally get my hands on my own copy!! (Why is this book so hard to find, as a sidenote?) It‘s just as great a read as I remember, and I hope to keep reading these!

I think I‘ve found my first favorite of the year, thanks to @Read-y_Picker and #newyearwhodis! I knew I would like this book, but I wasn‘t expecting to cry over it, or to love it so, so much. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Now that my library hold came in, I‘m ready to post about my #newyearwhodis books! I‘m still waiting on one to come in the mail, but hopefully it‘ll be here soon. I‘ve already started the tagged and am loving it! @Read-y_Picker

And finally, Briar‘s Book. Definitely the most emotional of the series for me, as I‘ve gotten attached to these characters both from my original read and this time around. Now, on to something new! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Continuing the series reread! Still love this one just as much ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Last read of 2021! Ended it on a positive note, in my opinion, and I‘m super excited for next year!

I love revisiting childhood favorites, especially when they‘re written by Tamora Pierce! She‘s a master of what she does, if you ask me, and I still love this story of magic and friendship. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I‘ve got so many books I‘m excited to read, it was hard to pick just 20 for the start of next year‘s #bookspin! But I managed somehow lol

Not my favorite, but a solid fantasy! Though I‘ll say I prefer The Bear and the Nightingale, which covers similar themes, to this one. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Ahhhh!!! I‘m so, so excited about this book @ozma.of.oz !! Thank you so much for the beautiful book and delicious chocolate, and thank you for hosting @MaleficentBookDragon #jolabokaflodswap

Finally got to my yearly read of this (with a little help from Terra) and ticked another one off for #averymerrybingo! #dogsoflitsy

Not a favorite for me, but an enjoyable book. Filled the #jinglebellrock prompt for #averymerrybingo @Jadams1776

Decided to give this one a read! Super charming and easy to read

Both my #doublespin and filling the prompt #lastchristmas for #averymerrybingo! I really liked this one, one of the better Arthurian retellings I‘ve read!

Both my #bookspin this month and #ochristmastree for #averymerrybingo! Loved reading this classic fantasy adventure

Decided to go ahead and read my free space book for #averymerrybingo! Gotta love some Shakespeare every now and then @Jadams1776

Finally gave this one a re-read! I read it first when I was a kid, forgot everything that happened in it, and loved it just as much this time around! If you‘re looking for a good middle-grade fantasy, this is one to look out for. Fills the #frostythesnowman prompt for #averymerrybingo @Jadams1776

It‘s arrived safe and sound! #jolabokaflodswap @ozma.of.oz @MaleficentBookDragon

Forgot to post yesterday, but my #jolabokaflodswap package is in the mail!

Forgot to take a picture, but I finally finished this one! It‘s been a long time coming lol

It‘s time for my December #bookspin list!! It‘s been a blast doing it this year, @TheAromaofBooks

I‘m so excited about my #newyearwhodis list from @Read-y_Picker that I want to start reading immediately! This is what I‘ve picked out for January—I‘ve actually read Every Heart a Doorway, but I‘ve been wanting a personal copy, so this seems like the perfect excuse!

I‘ve never heard of Terra Nullius before now, so I‘m quite excited to give it a try, but I think I‘m most anticipating finally reading The House in the Cerulean Sea!

Sadly, I found this one to be pretty dull—I wanted to like it a lot, as it was my #doublespin for this month, but some things aren‘t meant to be.

I almost bailed on this book a couple times, but decided to stick with it—and I‘m glad I did! Omat‘s story, I think, is powerful and important. #bookspin

I‘ve just signed up for #newyearwhodis!! I‘ve never done it before but decided to give it a shot—I love discovering new favorite books! Thanks for hosting, @monalyisha

This little sweetheart is keeping me company as I read! #dogsoflitsy

Read for school—not something I would pick up on my own and not a book I enjoyed reading. ⭐️⭐️

The first time I read this book, it was 2016 and I‘d just finished my freshman year of college. Now it‘s 2021 and I‘m in the middle of my second year of graduate school—and I still really enjoyed this book! I completely forgot how it ended, but I did remember the mid-book twist, which made several things before it make much more sense! Glad I gave this one a reread! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

1. Tagged!
2. I love a notion setup a found last year—a really nice way to track books on my phone AND computer!
3. I actually have no idea, lol. I usually don‘t google books!

#weekendreads

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This book is great if you‘re interested in psychology or just people in general! I loved it

I‘m so excited for this!! I absolutely loved #jolabokaflodswap last year, and I‘m so excited to do it again! Hosted by @MaleficentBookDragon

I‘ve had this ready for days, and kept putting off posting it! But here it is, finally—my #bookspin #doublespin list

My #botm picks this month! I‘m pretty interested in both of these, hopefully they‘re as good as they look!

I‘ve never been disappointed by a Pratchett yet, and this one is no exception! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Finally read this one, and while it wasn‘t what I expected, I quite enjoyed it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

In this case, I think I‘m just the wrong person for this book! To me, it‘s kind of dull and uninteresting, but ti the right reader it‘ll be perfect! So, even though I‘m bailing, I‘ll still give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️

I love a good Poirot mystery, and as usual, this one totally shocked me! I never even guessed. Thanks for letting me borrow this one, @AmyK1

I realized about 20 pages in that I‘m far too old for this book. Sad, because it‘s my #bookspin, but that‘s all right!

Forgot to take a picture before the book went back to the library, but I finished my #doublespin! I loved this book, and I can‘t wait for more of these wacky witches

My #bookspin and #doublespin books for this month! I‘ve already started Witches Abroad and really love it so far, hopefully I‘ll feel the same about The Wind Singer!

Last minute, but here‘s my #bookspin list for October! I tried to get some good spooky/fall reads on there ☺️

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Engaging and inventive, but I felt like I didn‘t know any of the characters—also not sure the interview format really works for this story. I felt removed and distant from the events, which is not something I like in my sci-fi. I‘m not sure if I‘ll continue the series yet.

My #botm picks!! I wasn‘t thrilled by any of the add-one for this month, so decided to add a fantasy I‘ve been eyeing instead

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I read this memoir in verse for a class, and I greatly enjoyed it! Woodson has a way with words that I admire.

I‘ve always been a little obsessed with Arthurian Legend, and this book was a treat to read! I greatly enjoyed it, and look forward to reading more of the series! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Ahhh I‘m so excited about everything you sent for #fallingforfallswap #fffs, @Amiable ! Especially those cozy socks and that bookmark! I love dragons 🐉
Thank you so much, and thank you @Avanders for organizing this amazing swap!

Tried to read my #doublespin and got incredibly bored with it—just not for me!

This story was absolutely adorable! I loved all the magic and the messages about grief, and I think it‘s perfect for middle-school kids. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
