Welcome to Litsy!

Not sure what my issue is with this series. I really loved Priory, which put this on my radar. I read the first Bone Season book a few years ago and loved it. Tried to reread it last year and basically just didn‘t want to. So I read a synopsis of it to continue the series. I then have no desire to pick this up and when I do, I read 5 pages and just not engaging.

So it‘s probably just me, but I‘ll be bailing and reading this authors other work.

Here are the 3 books that got picked for #Roll100 in January!

I‘ve already requested the tagged book from the library and I own Harry‘s Trees.

Excited for 2023 reading!

Relistening is to this series in preparation to read the new one!! #fantasy

May was a busy, stressful month with very little reading time. I only finished 5 books with is the lowest in a long time.

I did finish my #bookspin (tagged) which was a fantastic reread of book 2 in The Bone Season series. I also went on to finish book 3. Still one of my favorite series. Shannon creates such a richly imagined world. I can‘t wait to see what happens next!❤️

Hoping to get to my #doublespin soon but didn‘t make it in time for May.

A solid sequel, a solid fantasy, a solid book overall 🙌

I really like Shannon‘s ability to build worlds, and while this might have been a tad too long, I didn‘t want to leave the London of Mime Lords and Queens, clairvoyants and under world drama.

@StayCurious

I can't believe I haven't gotten my #bookspinbingo list done yet 😬

I'm mainly focusing on series' I've been neglecting and anything I have in progress so I can finish before the year is up. Since I read so much horror and thrillers for Oct, I'm going to get my fantasy on for the most of Nov!

@TheAromaofBooks

I have no idea when the last time I tried a #photochallenge was but I'm in the mood so let's try it!

#3Books

Left: 3 books I plan to read this month
Right: 3 books that made me cry

I read a lot of tough books so I'm pretty desensitized to the hard stuff but if anything could make me shed a tear, these 3 came close

OMG ? The end of The Mime Order was crazy awesome! I finished it this afternoon and I just kept saying "DAMN!!!" over and over!

A fantastic 👏 sequel to The Bone Season! 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Excellent YA Sci-Fi series. My Litsy Goes Postal group introduced me to this series, and although I'm not that into YA, I liked this one. Good world-building, interesting characters (I like Warden) and a very creative magic system involving the ether. 2nd in a trilogy. Will definitely be giving the whole trilogy as a Christmas gift to my niece this year. Bonus: Beautiful Covers and excellent narration. #ohmylovely

Great book.

#122 gonna dive back into this world and see what‘s going to happen 😰 but first off to grab breakfast 🥳

I‘m absolutely loving this series. This is the second book, and I‘m flying through it. Paige is a great protagonist and I love the world in which she lives. I can‘t wait to finish work so I can keep reading.

#relistening to a favorite series after a particularly hard week. We always have our book friends, don't we? Even when. Everything else comes crashing down.

Not as good as the first one but I still enjoyed it

When your sick and you procrastinate about everything, including sleep, yet you pick up a new book....

I finished this one last night. It was a bit more predictable than the first, but it was still really good and more back story was filled in. As soon as my husband finishes it I will dive into the third book in the series.

Paige is by far one of my favourite female protagonists. I was lucky enough to meet Samantha Shannon and she signed my copy 🤩

One of my favourite dedications also, I apologise for the blurry photo, I've typed it clearer to compensate. 😊

This was awesome! I love this series and will soon read the next book.

I'm reading this soon. #tometopple #readathon #tomes

I like this series even if it's not hyped.

2. Madeline Miller

Today I watched a mime pretend to snort and shoot up onstage. Seriously. WTF? There were kids in the audience.

Every two years Salem Public Library puts on a Performer‘s Showcase: 60+ performers, 5 minutes each, and public librarians show up in droves to choose performers for the upcoming year. Every year there‘s at least one performance that leaves you, well, surprised, and not in a good way.

But mostly it‘s awesome!

Took me entirely too long to read this. I was a little lost at first as I read Bone Season so long ago. A sort of mixed blessing: much less info dump in this one so it took a while to catch back on 😆
The ending was pretty cool and man, do I not like Jaxon OR Warden. Different reasons. Really not ok with the Stockholm syndrome romance, no matter how it's swung in this book. 🤷‍♀️

Almost done with this book. Really not liking a few of these characters anymore. And the relationship between Warden & Paige is just ick-ing me out. Otherwise, excited to see where this goes!

Also, sent out my #FFFS package! It says it'll be there by the 20th! Here's hoping there's no delay and it's there in time for the opening day!!

This series is amazing! While this book started off a little bit slow....and I found myself putting it down a lot more than Bone Season, The ending.....Oh my goodness!! So good!!!

It's one of those days where my coffee needs a coffee.

Finished! It's been so long since I read book one, but I got sucked back in fairly easily. I can tell my taste in books is evolving, but I will continue with this series.

My bookmark is a perfect match! I'm really enjoying my visit back into the world of The Bone Season.

I had to know what happened after #TheBoneSeason and #TheMimeOrder definitely started to improve my relationship with the characters.

Full review is up on the blog!

My emotions!

Holy crap. This book was better than the first. It's thick but it's nonstop action and everything has a purpose. It's the equivalent of a villain story for fairytales and fairytale retellings. SO FREAKING GOOD!

🌍World building on world building on world building.

👥Character development on character development on character development.

⚠️Problem on problem on problem.

🙈🙉🙊Backstabbing on backstabbing on backstabbing.

I'm switching back over to the Bone Season series and then switching back to another Elise Kova title. The Bone Season was such a good book (I mean...I read it twice in a month) and I want to catch up so I can begin harrassing the author for the 4th book.

The Mime Order is my eBook TBR!
And The Wicked + The Divine isn't an eBook but I'm waiting for them to come in the mail! I plan on reading Volume 2-4 in August!

These are the eBooks I purchased this month!

This book was absolutely amazing! It definitely takes the events of The Bone season to the next level and the plot twists were just 😮😮😮 I cannot wait to dive into The Song Rising!

This is my next read! I absolutely love the first one and I cannot wait to dive back into this world :-)

I'm still not sure if I absolutely love these books, but I am glad I kept on and read this one! I have the ARC of the third at home so I am excited you see where the story goes next. Definitely much better than the first, the heroine is really coming into her own which is always nice to see.

I REALLY LIKE THIS ONE...seriously though I'm proud of how this turned out:)

I loved this series and can't wait to read 'A song Rising' ☺️ Paige and the Warden are the ultimate otp ??

Wow. What a book series. I absolutely loved #TheBoneSeason & #TheMimeOrder and would highly highly recommend them! Even though there are so many bloody nicknames for things - I love the writing & the characters! 😍🎉

The Bone Season: 5/5⭐️

Because I'm behind.... And somehow I neglected April's stats too

My Shelfie for #riotgrams

I could have stayed like that for hours, just breathing him in.

Hope is the lifeblood of revolution. Without it, we are nothing but ash, waiting for the wind to take us.

Madness is a matter of perspective, little dreamer.

But my wanderlust had turned to lust and wonder. A thirst for knowledge, no matter how dangerous.

You look far too glum for a Saturday evening. In my many years of experience, that means you have not had enough coffee.

I haven't even had one.

Oh, dear me. You clearly are not of the literati.

I would never of found this series if not for Litsy! The Bone Season was SO good and I can't wait to get tk this library borrow :)
