pickAnother series I was missing out on! I was worried when I first heard the audio, since I wasn't sure what to make of the narrator's voice, but she was amazing!
Ahh! another intense ending--but resolved with the best send off ever (hush now, spoilers 😉🤫)
Eagerly awaiting the next book to come in.
Last lines. Best send off EVER!
MY HEART! Gahhhh! The finale... Ahhhh!
This quote could not hit closer to home 😔
A bundle of audio books came in from the library all at once. I got about 38 total hours with this digital haul, being a few hours into "Cinder." Here we go!

pickSuper creative retelling. Great audiobook performer/narrator.
The screw through Cinder‘s ankle had rusted, the engraved cross marks worn to a mangled circle.

pickMight be between Pick & SoSo. I enjoyed it more than I expected to! #cinder #marissameyer #retelling #ya #cyborg
1. I barely have any books in my house. I read entirely on my phone! I love the convenience and it's so easy to borrow from the library. I rarely buy a book. Am I the only one?
2. I have volunteered for a dog rescue for almost 10 years... and now I have 4 dogs 🐶🐶🐶🐶

I was worried I would hate this - and I'm not great at walking away from a book. I tried to read one of the books written by the Wicked author, the Snow White one, and I hated it. I read Dorothy Must Die, the reinvention of The Wizard of Oz, and hated it too. But, I'm doing a reading challenge and need a 'retelling' of a famous story, so I decided on this. I'm pleasantly surprised - I like it so far!
My July 2019 reads! Much better than June, but still a slower month. Hopefully now that Summer reading has died down things will go back to normal.

I finished Cinder, and I‘m due for a dose of dilaudid, so I‘m going to call my #24in48 there. It‘s been a trying one. As I may have mentioned once or twice, I was doing this one from a hospital bed and it is TOUGH to read when you‘re medicated, your blood sugar is too high or, worse, too low, and nurses keep interrupting you. I‘m quite proud that I managed twelve hours!

Cinder, the second book in my tbr, is perfect for the first #24in48 challenge. Excuse the photo quality, my hands are shaky cause I‘m sick and the lighting is bad in the hospital.
pickjust finished reading this and really enjoyed it. I didn't think I would like this retelling with cyborgs but it really brought a nice twist to this all familiar tale. great read!!
so-soI liked the world building, but the plot was very predictable and the "big reveals" were not shocking at all. The edition I have also has a lot of bonus material, so the ending was abrupt since there were so many pages left. I miiiight give the next one's a try.
Kicking off the weekend. I told y'all I'd be reading more Marissa Meyer. The local library really pulled through! I got all 3 (main) books in the series!
I‘m rereading because I LOVE. THIS. BOOK.
pick#audiocrafting a bar towel embroidery gift while listening to The Lunar Chronicles, book 1. Better late than never.😄 Enjoyed the Cinderella retelling.
Today‘s #colormepretty is #redwhiteandblue!
Two of these are Marissa Meyer and that‘s gotta say something. The Lunar Chronicles are fantastic fairy tale retellings, and the Renegades series brings new life to superhero books.
The Raven Boys is, again, one of my favorite series. Please, if you like paranormal YA, read these books.
Caraval is far from one of my favorite books, but I‘ve been told the trilogy gets better. We‘ll see.
Happy July 4!
“Imagine there was a cure, but finding it would cost you everything. It would completely ruin your life. What would you do?”
Just started this one! I put it above my others because it‘s due back in 6 days!

pickThe story is definitely different than the Cinderella that we all know. It is also book one in a series so the ending is not happily ever after. You will have to continue with the series to find out what happens. Some parts were confusing but sometimes when I am reading, I have distractions that interfere so that may be why the story had confusing parts.
pickI've been aware of the existence of this series for years, but had thought it would be more of a love story. However, this retelling is so much more than that. There's a great sci-fi aspect, some decent world-building, good character development, political intrigue, and a touch of romance. I'm disappointed in myself for waiting so long to start this series, but I'm also excited I now have a few more books to read in the Lunar Chronicles.
pickThis was a good book—the world/idea was very creative, and I liked seeing the story unfold. I thought the characters were a little annoying (but that was probably because I didn‘t love the reader), but I want to give the next book a try! 🤗
#bookishbingo: Characters dance
pickCan my review just be internal screaming? Oh my god this book blew me off my feet. I heard it was good but wow! I went out and bought the rest of the series. Sorry not sorry. Great character development and world building! Saw the big reveal coming but still didn‘t take away from a fantastic book!
so-soIt wasn‘t my favorite book of all time but it was really good I do recommend this book and she is one of my favorite authors as well so yes I do think you should read it but once again was not my favorite
pickI loved this book from start to finish. A unique twist on the Cinderella tale. This book reels you in and keeps you hooked. If you love fairytales and fantasy then do yourself a favor and fantasy then pick this book up. But please bear in mind this is the first in a series and it finishes on a cliffhanger.
Book #44 of my year and I have wanted to read this series for a while now. Excited to finally check it out!
"Imagine there was a cure, but finding it would cost you everything. It would completely ruin your life. What would you do?"
"Vanity is a factor, but it is more a question of control. It is easier to trick others into perceiving you as beautiful if you can convince yourself you are beautiful. But mirrors have an uncanny way of telling the truth.”
"Even in the Future the Story Begins with Once Upon a Time."
pickI am SUCH a sucker for twisted fairy tales! In this futuristic fairy tale, Cinder is a cyborg abused by her stepmother in New Beijing, while the earth is plagued by, well, a plague and imminent war. There was one twist near the end that I saw coming, but it didn‘t stop me from devouring the book in one day. I‘m eager to see how other fairy tales fit in this series (Scarlett retells Little Red Riding hood)!
I am having such a book slump, so I picked up this one. Is this series worth the read?
pickI have a couple of reviews to catch up with today, so let's get started ☺
I love this book! The narration on the audiobook was amazing, and the story was gripping start to finish! (Even if I did have to stop listening for a bit because I wasn't ready for it to end). I love retellings of fairytales and this one did not disappoint. I can't wait to pick up the next book in the series ❤💜💙

Day 27 of #SpringIntoReading
Here is my favorite #OneWordTitles series. I've said this a few times in previous posts and I'll probably say it a few more in the future, but Cinder is a book I constantly recommend to people. It is so good that sometimes I wish I could read it for the first time all over again.
@vkois88 @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
pickA quick, enjoyable YA adaptation of Cinderella in a post-WWIV future with cyborgs. Meyer telegraphs her moves and “surprises” way too clearly and early on in the novel, but maybe the target reader wouldn‘t recognize all of them? It was an enjoyable read, regardless. It‘s a good thing I already have the rest of the books in the series.
#BookClub #AutographedRead #YA #Series #PleasureReading
Although I don‘t typically like to read my autographed copies of books, sometimes I need to make an exception. Squeezing in a little pre-work meeting reading to finish this one before tonight‘s #RogueBookClub meeting.
I'm using my Owlcrate mug for the #PopJarGame for this weekend's #24B4Monday. I added a few more books to my possibilities stack so that I'll have more to pull from. Looking forward to Friday! 🐸
