Welcome to Litsy!

This was between a pick and a so-so for me. I chose pick because I might read the next in the series. I liked Cinder (the character) much more than Scarlet. While I liked the story, it's at times too YA for me. The plot thickens, though...

I wasn‘t sure if I should read this after Cinder but I had to know where the story went! I‘m so glad I did. Such a great book!!!! Definitely going to move right along to the next in the series! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Loved this book.

I didn't find the politics here as exciting as I did in the first book, but I loved the introduction of completely new characters and I'm looking forward to the rest of the lunar chronicles.

Way late to the Lunar chronicles party but loved Scarlet on audio.

An excellent second installment. It took me a while to get through because I was doing it on audio and I had limited listening time, but I really enjoyed it. The new characters added quite a bit to the narrative.

nearly finished this book and can't wait to get the next one out the library such a great series

I liked this one better than the first. Actually I didn‘t not like the first one I just didn‘t know if I‘d continue the series now (because of some of you all) I am super glad I did continue this... now on to Cress

“A relieved grin filled up Thorne‘s face. ‘We‘re having another moment, aren‘t we?‘

‘If by a moment, you mean me not wanting to strangle you for the first time since we met, then I guess we are.‘”

😂😂
I am loving these! On to Cress!

Got through Cinder and I simply must find out what happens next!! Thank goodness this was available now at the library!!

The sequel to Cinder and another enjoyable read! Looking forward to picking up Cress as soon as I find a copy.

Book number 2 in the series, and I loved it so much more than the first! I‘m so glad I stuck it out and kept reading the series, because I really liked this book. A lot more action, exciting plot, interesting characters, and overall fun to read. I still don‘t like the audiobook narrator, and the characters are undoubtedly flawed, but I‘m really looking forward to the next books.

“And then I‘m going to stop hiding”. I can‘t get enough of this series! On to Cress!

Scarlet was a wonderful sequel to Cinder, adding in great new characters on top of those we‘d already met. Though I did indeed predict correctly whose side Wolf was truly on, I liked how the book keeps up the suspense through Scarlet‘s POV.

my favourite part of summer is reading outside (I know, we‘ve got a few more weeks before it‘s officially summer) and I‘m feeling super grateful that my 3 day weekend is falling on such glorious days!

🌟 🌟🌟🌟 The 2nd book in the Lunar Chronicles, and like most series, the second book isn‘t as strong as the 1st, but I enjoyed it. The story jumps back and forth from one story (Scarlet‘s) to the other (Cinder‘s), and it is honestly a little abrupt, but the reader adapts and begins to enjoy both stories. I will finish the series, but I‘m also predisposed to loving fairytale adaptations. I‘m also curious how the characters and the story develops.

This isn‘t the most effective situation for reading, but it is a good “you have to pay attention to me” strategy. 😺

After a *fabulous* Indian dinner this weekend in DC, I was craving it again, so “fast food” Indian had to suffice for today. #LunchtimeReads #NoFilter

Visited a winery in Virginia yesterday 🍇 and I asked the wine maker on our private tour if he ever reads in the cool cellar. 🍷

“I knew they would kill me when they found out, but…” He struggled for words, releasing a sharp breath. “I think I realized that I would rather die because I betrayed them, than live because I betrayed you.”

Scarlet was a really great book. I was wondering which books I was forgetting to do on my Litsy. Scarlet was really enjoyable to read. There was a lot of twists and turns in this book. Scarlet is based off of little red riding hood and is kind of based off the story but filled with more action, romance and mystery. I enjoyed this book more then I enjoyed Cinder. It really drawed me in. I rate this book a 9/10

Eeeee I have to continue at once! This is such an amazing series I can‘t believe I‘m just now reading it! #45

Scarlet is the second book in the Lunar Chronicles and while I didn‘t enjoy it as much as I did Cinder, it was still a fun read. I enjoyed the introduction of the new characters, the building on Cinder‘s story and how the author weaves several fairytale characters together in one tale. Meyer does a good job outlining the back story around Cinder, so even if you haven‘t read that, you can still enjoy this one. Great for tweens. Audio was great

Liked this one better than the first book

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
Forgot to post I had finished this one! I love how Meyer brings in new characters with a new storyline, but before you know it is seamlessly woven into the original one. Great series!
#read2019

The series isn‘t bad, with the limited time I have to read there are many other worlds I‘d rather be experiencing. Marissa Meyer did a great job world building, but it‘s not a place I want to be, I‘m sure many other people will love this book a series, it‘s just not for me.

I am really enjoying this series. Cinder is a fugitive on the run with the help of Captain Throne. She is trying to figure out what do to. What she doesn't know is that someone else may hold the key to her past. This book introduces a version of Little Red Riding Hood. Scarlett is looking for her grandmother that went missing when she meets Wolf who wants to help her. I can't wait to see where the next book takes all the characters.

Spending this rainy Friday night cuddling with my girl. Ruby is normally scared out the rain and the storms that we are supposed to get later in the night. So I am taking advantage of her love while she isn't hiding!

Finished cinder. Time for book 2. Thank you @hannah-leeloo for introducing me to these. I love you

Scarlet meets mysterious Wolf while searching for her grandmother and Cinder is still on the run from the Commonwealth when their stories intertwine.

I'm loving this series! Fast paced, humourous, and interesting. The author did a good job of keeping two story lines going, not leaving me disappointed when i switched from one to the other. On to the next!

1. Romance, historical romance, historical fiction, thriller, mystery, horror
2. Julie Garwood
3. Currently it is One of Us Is Lying or Cinder
4. Western
5. Tagged, plus I am reading The Westing Game, The House is Haunted, The Purple Rose and all the books listed under my currently reading.

I've started the second book in this series which switches between Scarlet, whose grandmother had a secret and has therefore been captured, and Cinder from the first book in the series. Eventually they will meet up and I am eager to see how their stories intertwine.

Couldn‘t help myself. Bought it on ThriftBooks so I could continue the series.

I‘ve been listening to this series on my way to and from work and I‘m loving it! I love the new characters this book brought to the series. Thorne is my favorite so far! It‘s so cool that these books are loosely based on fairytales.

📖So excited about this series.
🍀Not really.
🍀Yep. We used to find them all the time on my college campus.
🏰No, but it is on my list
🍀Good Luck to all the Littens out there!!! Hope you are having a great week!!!

#HelloThursday #StPatricksDay @wanderinglynn

Absolutely devoured these two yesterday! Easy reads with an addictive storyline and I‘m absolutely loving them so far ❤️ Actually taking a break tonight to detox a little, but keen to get to get started on ‘Cress‘ next 😊

#popsugar2019 #thelunarchronicles

I‘m more in love with The Lunar Chronicles than I ought to be. I guess I REALLY enjoy Cyber Punk when it involves creative fairytale retellings, a fascinating world, vibrant characters and is just well written in general. I already ordered “Cress”. “Scarlet” had such great action, added more to the world, & introduced great new characters. Bonus for the Flynn Ryder-based character owning a ship called “The Rampion”.

And this is why I should never start reading a book from the “Lunar Chronicles” series at 1:30 am with the plan of getting in “a chapter or two” before bedtime. ESPECIALLY during a #24B4Monday weekend.

Finished this reread 😍

Really loved this book! A lot more action and adventure! New and exciting characters! I loved how everything built on the last book. I also love all the different perspectives and it how cohesive it all is!
Loving this series so far!!

I really liked this one. Not as much as Cinder but I did love the different sides of things with all the different points if view.

Having our first winter storm! Looking at between 3-6inches possibly more! I‘ll be happy to stay here in my warm house with my book and a blanket and my new house shoes!

#SassyBookworm😏 #bookandablanket #winterreading #snowedin (yes in Kentucky we get snowed in with that small amount of snow ❄️)

Enjoyed the Lunar Chronicles series alot, but am Marie Kondoing due to lack of joy sparking.

OH. MY. STARS.

I am loving this series right now!!! Cinder is my absolute favorite character so far! I just adore the storyline and can‘t wait to continue with the next one! Must read!!!

Next up! ❤️📚🤓
