Scarlet | 
pickOne done, and many to go. A retelling of Red Riding Hood and the Wolf with added robotics and mind control for fun. A girl on the hunt of her grandmother uncovers a long forgotten story of her childhood, her place in the larger narrative and the choices she must make. Fast paced, filled with angst and adventure it was a quick read. I am excited to see where the full saga goes. #recentlyread #nospoilers #tackletheTBR #lunarchronicles 🤔😩🙃🤖
My incredibly ambitious TBR pile for the upcoming period of time. At least I have some good ones! #tbrmountain #upnext #toomanybooks #notenoughtime #sendhelp 🤩💙🥹📚
pickThis was such an exciting day. It had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. It was so amazing. I love the chemistry between Scarlet and Wolf. I can‘t wait to read what happens next. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you so much @Pageturner1 for the sweet book and gift card! This was so unexpected but so thoughtful and appreciated ❤️ and it‘s ironic because we settled on naming baby girl Scarlett 🥰 - I also keep meaning to send an email— I haven‘t gotten a box since… November I think? Did your #cbbc book get returned to you? @Mommamanzi
pickThis is the 2nd book in the Lunar Chronicles series, & I enjoyed this more than the first, Cinder. The first one had to set the scene of the futuristic interplanetary realm & dragged a bit, though Cinder herself was an intriguing character. This one was all fast-paced plot plus new characters. I think Scarlet was meant to be tough & feisty, but to me she was kinda bratty (I'm showing my age 👵🏽). But it's a fun concept & a great popcorn read.
Scarlet was descending toward the alley behind the Rieux Tavern when her portscreen chimed from the passenger seat, followed by an automated voice: “Comm received for Mademoiselle Scarlet Benoit from the Toulouse Law Enforcement Department of Missing Persons.”

pickBook 2 Scarlet of France's grandmother goes missing and it is indeed the Wolf who took her, but not like you suspect! There is an intergalactic battle about to happen as Lunar fights to conquer earthens. Cinder & Scarlet meet. This is a FUN series. Looking forward to Book 3.
so-soTo rescue her grandmother, Scarlet teams up with a street fighter named Wolf. While Cinder continues her escape from Queen Levana.
This was breakneck! No time to breathe, because everything is happening all at once. Politics, romance, betrayal, secrets, & no happy endings yet. Very clearly a middle story, so nothing really gets resolved. & a bit of instalove, which I‘m not a fan of. But a fun retelling with interesting new characters! 🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑
pickLittle Red Riding Hood flies a mean spaceship, and she‘s on the tail of her missing grandmother with the help of a mysterious street fighter named Wolf in this series of sci-fi fairy tale retellings that continues the story started (once upon a time) in Cinder. These books are so fun, action-packed, and clever.
pickReally enjoying my reread of this series. I think I found Scarlet a little more annoying this time but still loved her and Wolf. Poor Kai like this guy just can‘t catch a break. I can‘t wait for the reunion in book 3.
I‘ve decided I should finally finish the Lunar Chronicles, which means I‘m rereading the first three. It‘s been six years and I‘ve forgotten a lot, but that just means I get the fun of discovering stuff yet again. I hope CRESS comes available soon.
I finished SCARLET while I baked everything bagel buns filled with cream cheese and chives. They‘re good, but I‘ll something else to the filling next time. It‘s missing that extra oomph. #audiobaking
pickGood mix of Cinders continuing story mixed with Scarlets. Their mutual story is to find Scarlets grandmother. found myself drawn towards Wolfs nervous ticks. I have that extra energy too. This book also answered a question from the first book. It adds to the stakes. This felt more gory and dark, more mysterious. This order of the wolves is insane. Now that the setting is set, we get gritty.

pickStarted my Journey into the lunar chronicles. I‘m a sucker for a badass MC with red hair and a cinnamon roll boyfriend, so I connected quickly with the characters. I loved how there was a switching of povs too. Cinder gave me life once again with her sarcastic attitude and cargo pants. Thorne was an amazing character and I can‘t wait to see how his love story progresses. 4⭐️
pickI liked it! Not quite as much as Cinder. It felt like it took awhile for the story to really get going. It took me a minute to be invested in Scarlet. I also don‘t love when I figure stuff out way ahead of the characters and have to wait for them to catch up. At least it ended well! I‘m stoked to see what happens to Cinder & co next.
pickI am really enjoying the Lunar Chronicles and can't believe I have waited so long to read them!! I found Meyer's suggested reading order that includes where to read all the short stories in Stars Above, so next I am going to catch up on those before jumping into Cress. This one was a little slow in spots/overly long, but that could have also possibly been because I am reading six other books in the chapter-a-day method, which really does eat into⬇
Today's #weeklyforecast ... I may have lost my mind! 😂 As you can see, the windowsill, with May's additions, is now STUFFED full!! The bottom picture is of all of May's chapter-a-day(ish) reads. I'm actually enjoying Gone With the Wind more than I thought I would, and I'm really excited about the various #PemberLittens reads. The Fall of the Ottomans is an intriguing focus on that area of WWI, and As You Wish is for #NYWD The backwards book is ⬇
pickI was terrible about posting updates for March, so here they come!

Scarlet … expanding my Lunar Chronicles collection. I need to finish this series & have toyed with a reread binge! I‘m pleased to have found these jackets! #LunarChronicles and #MarissaMeyer
so-soScarlet is a continuation of the first book of the series, Cinder. By that, society around the world is now keeping an alert for a criminal fugitive that had escape from the Eastern Kingdom. Being the most wanted person in the world, she is ought to find a way to stop Queen Levana from destroying her beloved planet.
pickMeyer's writing is mesmerizing & her storytelling prowess is just magnificent. The characters are interesting, partially retold, partially imaginative, making them both nostalgic & entertaining. The pace is good & fast & there is always something happening. The dual POV was fantastic & Cinder's story was able to weave around this one in a way that felt so natural. This series is so much fun and I cannot wait to see where things continue to go.
pickA wonderful sequel to Cinder. The author balanced the perspectives of all the characters, as well as keeping them very distinct from each other. 5🌟
pickI just saw the covers for this series and now I‘m bummed out that I‘ve got the old ones on my kindle.
#Scarlet is a fast-paced sequel, filled with action, a new romance and more revelations.

pickA somewhat distracted but still excellent follow-up to Cinder. For the full review, please visit http://benjamin-m-weilert.com/index.php/2021/05/05/book-scarlet-2013/

Another great book in this series! Reading this is such a wonderful escape. I love the characters and the world building. 💚
The blend of fairytale and sci-fi seems effortless with Meyer's writing. Creative, fun, adventurous, and addictive. I am excited to see what takes place in book 3.
pickI think of the four books Scarlet was my favorite simply for the sake we got a lot of Scarlet and I think she really was my favorite character in the books. I mean, I loved them all but Scarlet‘s fierce no-nonsense attitude is just something I really enjoyed. Also, watching her relationship develop with Wolf.
pickI am obsessed with Scarlet and Wolf. I loved this update on the fairy tale, and how high the stakes have gotten for Cinder! Already anticipating that Cress will kill me, given that Rapunzel is my favorite princess.... #yalit #retellings
Major Spoils for just after the beginning of chapter five
This is a bit sudden (I.e. I just paused the audiobook and logged on as fast as I could) but Cinder is so BADASS in this book and she. Just. Used. Her. Glamour!!
Thorn is a pretty interesting character and I kind of like him. I definitely see where the author is going with her obvious annoyance by him- they‘ll definitely become lovers or at least close friends by the end of this book.
Here‘s something annoying that keeps happening to me: my holds come in as soon as I borrow something!
I put a hold on Scarlet as soon as I finished Cinder, which was when I started The Rithmatist. I just finished that today and borrowed A Court Of Thorns And Roses, which I‘m about 13 minutes into. I opened up Libby a few minutes ago to start reading, and now my hold is ready. Maybe it‘s because people read at the same speed as me? Ugh!
