Dropped the ball completely on this second one

This turned out to be such a cute read! I'm normally not about love stories, but this one was really nice and wholesome to me, with the added magic and amazing settings. I'm really glad this got me out of a streak of less than amazing books.

I was able to get one more book read in February. This is definitely my favorite series of the year that I‘ve read!

This is a duology, so only 2 books to read, which I think is my new favorite way to read series! But it also means there are no more books in this world. Apparently there are 3 short stories that I need to find!

I loved Shazi and Khalid‘s journey, their story and their love for each other. 💚💚💚

My latest library book haul. My husband judges me every time I walk out of the library and he‘s sitting in the car. He just doesn‘t understand and says I have plenty of books at home.

I already started reading the tagged book, even though I should be reading Into the Night or The Kingdom of Copper because they are both due 3/12. 🤦�♀�😬🤦�♀�😬

I need a break from mystery/thrillers, so I'm starting this one.

I‘m glad I continued with this series, because I truly enjoyed this 2nd book, and the ending to the story. I felt Renée Ahdieh did a fantastic job keeping the feel of the original Arabian Nights while making the story her own.

#winterstormreadathon (even though it‘s partly sunny and in the high 40s here ?)

Warming up with some sea salt caramel hot cocoa (made with almond milk) and a good book. I‘m definitely enjoying the sequel better than the first book!

Also seeing Renee Ahdieh!

Wow! I could not put this book down. It‘s been awhile since I enjoyed a YA fantasy love story. This duology didn‘t over do the love and make it cheesy. I loved the magic and setting of it and the characters written.

Such a great end to a magical story.

����������

I‘m half way through this book and I had to put it down for a second because the tension is killing me!
So I thought I would share the beautiful endpapers of the book.��

I love the love story between Khalid & Shazi...
I very much recommend this series..

Day 4. Bippity Boppity Boo! | magic!
#bookreadhappyhour

The ending felt really rushed to me, which is kinda a shame. But other than that, I LOVED this book !

This was such an empowering and beautiful duology that gave me all the feeeeels ✨💕

4 🌟 #YA

✨Good morning! 🌞 I hope everyone has a wonderful Monday. 💜 What are you currently reading? I am hoping to start Between Earth and Sky today. On my phone (for gym time) I‘m currently reading Written in Red.✨

Time for book 2! I really enjoyed the first and finally got this at the library. These covers are absolutely beautiful and I cannot wait to dive inside and find out what‘s happening with Khalid and Shahrzad

Has anyone read this duology? I‘ve heard so many good things about it, so I caved and finally bought them a little while ago since they were on sale.

Loved the further development of side characters from the first book and the new characters that are introduced. Several twisty parts I was not expecting!

I saw this tag earlier and couldn't help myself from posting on it! #PetsAndPaperbacks

1. Minion (aka The Destroyer of Book Covers)
2. He turns 5 this summer!
3. Whenever he is in a playful mood, you get to see him literally running through the walls in the house and it is both: the funniest and the weirdest thing ever! 😂
4. I don't know who to tag, but feel free to do your own and share your beautiful pets!

I have no self control in used bookstores. But at least I have pretty books to read �

Starting the second day of #24in48 with some nice YA to get myself going. Read the first book in the series nearly two years ago; excited to see how it will finish!

Won this book from a Goodreads giveaway and read it last December. Awesome retelling!
5/5 �����

Read the wrath and the dawn a couple weeks ago, starting it‘s sequel today ☺ï¸� can‘t wait to see how it turns out. Has anyone read this series?

I may pick up this book, sorry I‘ve been offline for a while I‘ve been in a major reading slump

Currently reading this one! Excited to see how the duology ends as I absolutely loved The Wrath & The Dawn 😊�� #currentlyreading

A solid second half of the duology that stats with THE WRATH & THE DAWN.

I ended up really enjoying this compelling duology. I loved the strength if the female characters and the Arabian Nights elements.

Finally getting my December TBR up!

�The Rose and the Dagger by Renee Ahdieh (halfway through this one)
� Angels and Demons by Dan Brown
� Even the Darkest Stars by Heather Fawcett
� The Power by Naomi Alderman
� The Bear and the Nightengale by Katherine Arden
� Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng

I am so excited for all these books and am looking forward to some extra reading time over winter break.

I liked it, but I feel disappointed. I was so excited to buy it and I may have had way too high expectations. Good, nontheless. I just could have lived without the sequel😅

Bonfires and books! I love October and readathons. #readathon #deweys24

No matter how much I loved the writing and how much I love Shazi and Khalid, I couldn't help feeling like the majority of this book wasn't of much relevance to the plot. Some parts were rather suspenseful and added a lot of insight, but others didn't really seem to serve a clear purpose. Overall, I did really enjoy this book, but The Wrath & the Dawn was definitely better!

Loved the first book! Looking forward to this one! ��

What are you reading this weekend??

I had two very stressful and busy weeks at work. Strong migrane came along. Didn't have time and energy to finish this.

#happyreading #weekendreading #booklover #bookworm #amreading

This book did not quite live up to my expectations after reading the first one. I did enjoy the book and loved the series.

I had a hard time getting into this, and rather wish I had read the two stories back to back so I could remember all the threads from the first book. Despite the fact that I found the pacing a little off, I still really enjoyed the book once I got past the beginning and the story picked up.

Weekend Read ~ The Rose & The Dagger
I absolutely loved the Wrath & the dawn, so I'm super excited to dive into this one! ♥�

Gorgeous sequel to The Wrath & the Dawn. I liked this even better than the first book. Not only is the writing marvelous, but the characters are so well fleshed out and there are adventures and revelations galore. One of the best books I read for #TheReadingQuest.

I'm still really happy I got these beauties read. I really enjoyed them! Give them a chance 😊

🌟🌟🌟🌟
4.4stars! Overall this was a great duology, I really enjoyed this one. The only problem for me with this book was that it took some time to get into it. But still I really liked that !

I finished The Rose & The Dagger by Renée Ahdieh! I absolutely adored this book so much and had so much fun reading this!

Such a good series - beautiful covers and writing. 💜

I think this novel should be titled "You Can't Lead an Army Against a Neighboring Kingdom Just Because the Queen Friendzoned You." It could also be called "Why Hormonal Teenagers Shouldn't Be Allowed to Make Important Decisions That Affect the Whole Kingdom."
