Today‘s #colormepretty is #red!
Most of these I‘ve already covered in previous posts, so go check those out if you missed them!
Inkheart was okay. I remember loving the movie, but I just never really got super into the book.
State of Emergency is disaster series that got worse after book 1.
Malice I read in middle school with a friend. That book and it‘s sequel are really interesting and definitely a good read for younger audiences.
Guys guys guyss! Quick question, have you ever read a book which has given you readers block? I mean a book that just stops your reading cycle for days or months? If yes, then which one was it and how did you overcome it? 😰
Another #BBTC #teenangst #seriesstarter completed 📖😋 . Although this was a great read I really hope that nothing happens between two certain individuals in this series 😳🙌🏽 @LibrarianRyan
About to start my next read! Have no idea what it‘s going to be like because the guy at the bookstore recommended it to me! 🤭 Oh well atleast I‘ll get to enjoy a nice cuppa with Nutella banana bread 🤤 Has anyone read this? I‘d really like your thoughts about it! 😬
I hit my reading challenge for 2019 on Goodreads today and it‘s only July 🤓📚🐛 Let‘s be friends- www.goodreads.com/me_myshelf_and_i
the tagged book is the worst on this section of the list.

My favorite series of the year so far is the A Court of Thorns and Roses series. Sarah J Maas has become one of my favorite authors. I never had read anything by her until this year. I‘m reading Throne of Glass right now and I love it just as much, if not more.
Next up on #labsoundtrack - I‘m thinking I‘m a bit behind the times on this series.
I bailed on fairest sorry @Jackal121. I think I'm just not in the right frame of mind for it. Going onto this book especially after reading a curse so dark and lonely. It'll be a nice theme connection. I've heard good reviews on this.
pickIt‘s your basic Beauty and Beast plot which makes it somewhat predictable. The world of fae is well designed and mysterious. The plot expands and becomes a bit more complex. I‘d recommend it to fantasy lovers.
pickThis book will never get old. ❤️
Meant to spend my day off outside, soaking up some sun, but my allergies are freaking out, so I‘ve made a nest on the couch. I scrounged up some snacks and comfort reads and plan on getting cozy with a box of Kleenex.
Book mail from yesterday that I just got around to opening. Another series that I have heard so many great things about!
so-soThis one was entertaining, but problematic. I don‘t feel like the character relationships were developed very well. I was frustrated by a lot of the decisions & actions of the characters. Without spoiling anything, it felt like a weird compilation of other tales (Beauty & the Beast, Hunger Games, etc.) with some cheesy descriptions & predictable plot points. I didn‘t hate it, but I‘m on the fence about reading the next one. Does it get better?
This cover is beautiful! I can‘t wait for this to come out next year! #maas
Accidentally bought this entire series on amazon kindle a few months ago. I hate reading on the kindle app so I didn‘t start it forever. Yesterday I was so bored I dived in and now I can‘t stop! It‘s all I think about.
pickI absolutely LOVE this book. Though it‘s not my favorite from the series, I still fucking loved it. It caught my attention and I haven‘t been the same since. Rereading it after I finished the other books though.... made it even better. I love rhysand with all my heart 🥺💖
If you haven't tried this series yet, the first book is $1.99 on Amazon today.
pickI enjoyed this more than expected. Little slow at times but still good.
⭐⭐⭐⭐
Decided to change up my bookmark tonight. 😊 Using this one now which is one I made. (I took the image on it)
pickWonderful reimagining of beauty and the beast and a new wonderful series from Maas
Started A Court of Thorns and Roses this morning. Only 30ish pages in so far thanks to being at work 😂
pickThis book is one that I have read and reread multiple times, it‘s got a twist but I keep coming back for more every time
Part two of finding a place for everything in my Library, these beautiful dust jackets from #ACOTAR and now I have about 1/4 of my art prints up and framed (next post). I also found a floating picture frame for the Prythian map. Tomorrow the rest of the bookish fabric and the last of the picture frames arrive. ❤️
"To the stars that listen, and the dreams that are answered".
pickI‘m not a big YA reader and there were parts I found a lil cringy, but overall I was so impressed! I know if I‘d read it when I was younger I‘d have been totally obsessed with it and I definitely want to finish the series. I‘m so pleased the Tam Lin legend is being reimagined now, it‘s one of my favourites! Completely compulsive, I sped through it in a few days and would recommend to anyone interested in YA - it hooked me and I barely read it
#friyayintro @howjessreads
1. This and A Month In The Country - absolutely adore both!
2. I‘m in Paris with my boyfriend for the bank holiday! I‘ve been to Paris before but never with him. So excited
3. No I don‘t love eggs overall really.
4. Jesus no idea. Probably something ‘average‘ like w very common name, I wouldn‘t want to get bogged down in trying to make them live up to a fantastical name.
5. Will do!
My tablet is here! I went for a kindle fire in the end after researching prices and considering how little I want to use it for (literally only as an e-reader for different book apps). I‘ve been setting it up this eve! So grateful to have library loans on here now
Guess who finally got a Southwark library card and access to ebooks???? It‘s gonna save me so much money!
Issue is I don‘t have a tablet or e-reader that will support downloading apps and mean I can read without straining my eyes and making the pain in my wrists worse on my phone. I could get a second hand Fire for (e7 which seems like a fair deal and would save me so much money on buying books, but (e7 is... money. What do you guys think?
“She stole a life. Now she must pay with her heart.”
I‘m starting this one!! Looks so exciting!
pickI definitely enjoyed this trilogy but I would have to say this one is my least favorite in the trilogy.
pickHerbology OWL: 4⭐️
This was definitely a fun ride and I understand the hype behind it. There were a lot of things that I enjoyed primarily Lucien all around, but also the many differnt types of fairies/creatures and the music playing from the plants and animals of the Spring Court. I did have an issue with the tattoo dress scene but I understood the reasoning behind it.

Decided to finally try my first Sarah J Maas book to complete my herbology OWL; which is to read a book with a plant on the cover (aka dust jacket in this case lol)
#magicalreadathon #magicalreadathon2019 #owlsreadathon #acotar #booksleeve #mapsoflitsy #mpls #twincities
#ACOTAR Box picture 1, because those dust jackets need their own post! The next post will show front and back of all three, but this has the inside flap quote as well! Look at those beauties 😍 #BookSleeve is on point with artistic design even if I do not like the material itself, shirt is awesome, candle smells amazing, pin is already added to my collection, and necklace is in the jewelry box. It‘s obviously the jackets the have my heart ❤️
Build Your Perfect Book Boyfriend and We‘ll Reveal Who They Are
This was so fun. I love ACOTAR. I'm very happy with this pick. Though I'm not happy about the wrong "YOUR" being used in the reveal.

Starting my run of Beauty and the Beast retellings- will review and rank them at the end.
Are you guys reading anything this weekend? I‘m at a track meet all day and extremely tired so I doubt I read much this weekend sadly.
pickIf you love a world-creation story, where you slip from the world we know into a new world filled with wonder, amazement, possibilities and terror - you‘ll love falling in love with this book! The characters are vivid and well planned out - and the writing takes me breath away. Swoon ... I can‘t decide who I love more ... the good boy, the bad boy, or the friend ... #ACOTAR #yesfromme
so-soThis book is a twist on the beauty and the beast story with fairies. It is by no means sweet, in parts it is violent and very adult. The works Maas is built I‘d really quite incredible and believable. On the whole I don‘t know if I will continue with this series as I am not that invested.
pickMy neighbor‘s cat looks interested as much as I am😂
Yessss!!!! I‘ve been wanting this book for forever📖. I‘m so in love with the characters already,I couldn‘t stop fantasizing about it a school so now I‘m finally home and I can enjoy reading❤️
pickFinally read this #blameitonlitsy book that I‘ve picked up multiple times from the library but kept not starting. Sometimes books are so hyped up I‘m reluctant to read them in case they don‘t live up to my expectations. This one came pretty close. This is a fun fantasy pulpy violent tale of good vs evil and the power of love. Not new tropes but handled with care and it made for a fast, compelling read. I‘m excited to have a new series to dig into!
pickI was so hooked that I stayed up until 1:30 reading which is late for me! I know there were 3 other books in the series and I‘m super excited to see where they lead to, I simply can‘t imagine.
I also loved the writing style. It was easy to read but not too simple that I got frustrated.
The plot line was flawless, I wasn‘t expecting all the turns of events which made them a wonderful (yet scary!) surprise. 5/5 stars!
pick21-2019 ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Started off a bit slow but hooked by halfway through. I have a feeling I can predict what is coming in book two though. #lovesarahjmaas

pickThis was a re-read. I first read it before the sequels were out, so I needed a refresher.
