If you fancy playing along all you have to do is post a picture of a book cover you love with no explanation 📚 Feel free to tag any fellow littens that you think would enjoy playing along.
Haven't read this book yet, but love the cover! Thank you @TCLinrow for the tag!
My August reads, not as much as I‘d both planned and hoped but I still got some reading done and that‘s the important bit 😊. Of my reads in August I really liked King of Scars, Bellewether, The Grace Year, and Dead Voices.
pickReally thought at first I‘m not going to like this book but I will have to say that it grew on me and I loved it. I can‘t wait to read the next book in this series soon. Leigh has a way of drawing the reader in & she doesn‘t let go until the last word is read. I loved the characters the action & the drama.
Just a few books from @bookoutlet chilling on the couch, wolf-whistling and giving come-hither looks to any reader who passes by.
I may have been a little naughty today. Anyone else? #barnes&noblebookhaul
Nikolai regarding reading: "Each spine had been a doorway whispering, Come in, come in. Here is a land you've never seen before. Here is a place to hide when you're frightened, to play when you're bored, to rest when the world seems unkind."
Happy National Book Lover's Day! Today, I set up our TBR shelf in the library/reading nook in our new apartment. I told my husband there's still room for more. 😂😜
“Eat, your highness.“
“Everything tastes like doom,“ he whispered.
“Then add salt.“

"There had been a time when words had been the only place he could find solace. No book ever lost patience with him or told him to sit still. When his tutors had thrown up their hands in frustration, it was the library that had taught Nikolai military history, strategy, chemistry, astronomy. Each spine had been an open door away whispering, Come in, come in."

pickI really enjoyed this one! The ending was very twisty! 🌟🌟🌟🌟
pickSo much has already been said about this book and I don't have anything new to add. I love the world building in this series and the characters are so good. Can't wait to read the next one! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
pickI love Leigh Bardugo. I was so happy to fall right back into the grishaverse and having Nina as a MC just filled all the holes in my heart. Nikolai is a war hero, trouble filled, love of a man I wanted to give a big hug to and let take a nap. Zoya is amazing and I need her happy ending. The main story here is that shock of an ending that I can‘t get over. I usually hate cliffs but I happily dived right off this one wanting more cause it‘s Bardugo!

#ColorMePretty : #Gold
Nothing is more Gold than this book on my #TBR shelf! And it also happens to be one of the prettiest. And you should see it without the jacket too! I'm just glad that Not all book covers are this gorgeous, otherwise I'll be broke! ...I mean more broke than now 😅
TBH I'm nervous about reading this one, hope it's as good as #SixOfCrows which I Love!

Oh man! Today‘s #AudibleDailyDeal is so tempting! But I‘m planning on getting this in hardcover at some point anyway... hmmmm.... 😍
Day 7: #gold
The only gold book I own, I picked this one up on a whim without realizing it was YA (I don‘t usually buy YA as I don‘t usually like them enough to spend the money on them) and I still have yet to read it, but I have heard a lot of good things about this author so hopefully it will be money well spent.

pickThis was OK, just a bit longer and more character driven than I expected, with Nikolai as MC I expected much more plot.
“How is it I smell like goose shit and cheap whiskey and you smell like you just ran through a meadow of wildflowers?“
- Nikolai Lantsov to Zoya Nazyalensky, King of Scars
“Matthias, your country can kiss my fat Grisha ass.“
- Nina Zenik, King of Scars
And again...
“But she had survived by being honest with herself. And she had to acknowledge that there was another fear inside of her...”
- Zoya Nazyalensky,
Dragon,
King of Scars
“Trust me, Zoya. You may come to enjoy t.“
“That's what Tamar said about absinthe.“
“And?“
“It still tastes like sugar dipped in kerosene.“
- Zoya Nazyalensky and Nikolai Lantsov, King of Scars
I'm rereading King of Scars. I only made it 40 pages in before I started crying.
“So after you skewer and roast me and I wrestle with my actual demons, what happens?“
- Nikolai Lantsov, King of Scars
Here we go again with the Grishaverse.
“Does a king bow so easily to a man with no title?”
- Zoya Nazyalensky,
Dragon,
King of Scars
Another daily dose of Grishaverse.
“Are you so ruthless, Zoya? He is an innocent man. His only crime was loving my mother.”
“No, his crime was bedding your mother.”
- Zoya Nazyalensky & Nikolai Lantsov,
Dragon & King of Ravka,
King of Scars
“Zoya of the lost city. Zoya of the garden. Zoya bleeding in the snow. You are strong enough to survive the fall.“
- Sankt Juris
pickAnd that concludes my #grishaverse readathon 😢
I have no other words for this other than ‘THIS WAS INCREDIBLE‘. I loved exploring different characters and back stories, and it‘s Bardugo, of course I‘d love it 💖 Now to wait for the next book 😭
5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Daily dose of Grishaverse.
“Stop punishing yourself for being someone with a heart.”
- Sankt Juris,
Dragon,
King of Scars
Happy Tuesday Bookies! 📚 🤓
#QOTD : WHERE IS THE STRANGEST PLACE YOU'VE READ A BOOK?
Do I like the sun? Debatable hahaha
So I always try and look for the shaded spots outside if I can.
Also, can I just say what a sucker I am for an intricate inside cover.
❤️

I‘m literally re-reading this book over and over again, until the ending changes, or the next book comes out.
pickWell I haven‘t posted for 5 months (#teachersoflitsy) but I‘ve read two books this weekend and am back in the swing of reading thanks to summer break(🙌). This was the last book I posted and I‘ve finally finished it tonight!
This was probably my favorite in the Grishaverse so far as I‘m more familiar with the world and terms. Not sure I loved the final surprise but I‘ll save final judgment for when I read the sequel.
pickSooo, this is a bit awkward, but “King of Scars” was my first “official” #grishaverse book, (not counting “The Language of Thorns”, since it didn‘t involve the characters). While I didn‘t have a problem figuring out the world & following the plot, I‘m kinda “meh” on reading “Shadow & Bone”, simply because I love Nikolai & Zoya as they are in this duology. Will be odd to backtrack. Either way, LOVED this book!
While I love my fiancé, I must announce that Nikolai is officially my new Book Boyfriend. While you might say that we‘re “moving too fast”, seeing how I‘m only four chapters in, I believe that when you know, you know ???
Oh .... I‘m so excited 🤩
I was gonna wait until the second book came out so I can read them back to back, but I have no self control 🙄😍 #grishaverse #readathon
pickLook at the beautiful inside cover!
I am glad Leigh Bardugo is continuing on with the Grishaverse, there was definitely more of the story to be told. I pledge my undying loyalty to these characters. I am really looking forward to the sequel because this one had a great ending. I will say that the perspective would switch just as the storyline would get really good and it made me want to skip chapters.
I'm in love
