Throne of Glass | 
This is how I‘m doing my Sarah J. Maas reads but add CC3 at the end because this does not have it listed. A bit into the first TOG book and love it. I got a ton of reading ahead of me.
#ACOTAR #TOG #CC #ACourtofThornsandRoses #ThroneofGlass #CrescentCity #SarahJMaas
#LittensLoveSJM #TOG Book 1 Ch.19-21: as we approach the second test, Celaena reflects on her loss of Sam, an assassin she grew up with and loved. Dorian sees her as human and feels sorry for her. I wonder who betrayed Celaena and Sam? I feel as though it was their mentor…but I usually expect the worst. ⬇️
#LittensLoveSJM #TOG Book 1 Ch.16-18: we‘re reminded of the seriousness of the competition when a champion tries to escape and is slaughtered in front of everyone. They are not the king‘s guests-best not to forget it. And even though Celaena may seem to be making connections- with Chaol, Dorian, and perhaps Nox, she really can‘t trust anyone. Except maybe Nehemiah. I wonder what her story is.
#LittensLoveSJM #TOG Book 1 Ch.13-15: hmm a simple archery contest as the first test? I feel like they‘re lulling the competitors into a false sense of security. Or maybe going easy on them simply because one of them was just murdered. Something is going on. It has to do with the King‘s secrecy and with the dead hounds I‘ll bet. Perhaps there is a predator - man or beast - within Adarlan. ⬇️
#LittensLoveSJM #TOG Book 1 Ch.10-12: how hard must it be for Celaena to do the training when she‘s been in the mines for a year!? It‘s hard to run when you‘re malnourished. But she kept up - good for her. And she remembers how to use a sword. I think the strategy they‘re using of keeping her under the radar is good - but I‘d be annoyed too if I were her. ⬇️
#LittensLoveSJM #TOG Book 1 Ch.7-9: it‘s great that Celaena is not only a top assassin- but an avid reader too. I love characters who are book lovers. It makes them so relatable to me. Being in the castle, there will be a lot of court intrigue - we already see a big rift between the prince and the king, and I‘m guessing - since Dorian looks nothing like his father - maybe his parentage has been questioned at some point? ⬇️
#LittensLoveSJM #TOG Book 1:Ch.4-6: we‘re learning more about the world and the destruction that Adarlan‘s king has inflicted-especially on magic wielders. It‘s mentioned that Celaena once possessed gifts but that magic disappeared from the land. We also learn a bit about the King of Assassins- her mentor who trained her. And there is someone that she suspects betrayed her and that led to her capture. Someone close to her. ⬇️
#LittensLoveSJM #TOG Book 1:Ch.1-3: So far I like Celaena -the fact that she still has spirit after such a harrowing year in the mine is admirable. The prince is arrogant - as he would be. He‘s used to getting what he wants and he‘s probably accustomed to his family‘s power being unconditional. I‘m not sure where the Captain of the guard stands. Is he completely loyal to his master? It‘s an interesting dynamic and an interesting start to the story
Got the book for #LittensLoveSJM @StayCurious Naturally, I went to the cookie aisle next to find the lemon ones @Megabooks You created a monster @Librarybelle 🤣
#LittensLoveSJM #TOG - a reminder that we are starting our foray into SJM‘s other series, Throne of Glass, starting on Friday. All are welcome to join us - just let me know if you want to be tagged in my daily posts. I‘ve heard that although it takes a few books to really hit its stride, some people actually prefer #TOG to #ACOTAR - looking forward to finding out with you all!
pickThis was a fantastic read! Richly drawn characters, a complex, edge-of-your-seat plot, and a world full of mystery and hidden magic. Celaena is more textured in this book, and I liked her more, I think. There are some real stand out side characters — Nehemiah, please — and an enjoyably dark and gritty challenge to solve. Maybe a touch slow-paced at times, and I‘m definitely glad I read the prequel first, but overall definitely a win.
Tackle the TBR 🤓📚

#LittensLoveSJM @LitsyEvents I wanted to post this early since I‘ve seen some interest. After we finish the final instalment of #ACOTAR, I will be hosting the #TOG series by SJM. I‘d like to say that I‘ve heard great things about the series but most say it takes a couple books to really get into the world. She started writing the series as a teen so keep that in mind. Also, there are different views on how to read the series: ⬇️
pick4.75/5 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌖
“Libraries were full of ideas—perhaps the most dangerous and powerful of all weapons.”

Here we go again… another Sarah J. Maas series to get hooked on.
pickI enjoyed this book. I liked the characters and the plot of the book. I rated this book a 5 out of 5 stars.
so-soThrone of Glass by Sarah J. Mass. 7,3/10 rating. This was not what I expected. While it was good, it was not enough for me to get invested in it. Will not continue the saga.
pickFinally, my first SJM! I liked it but I didn‘t love it as much as everyone seems to. In the first 300 pages, despite mysterious killings in the castle and death defying tests for Celaena to become the king‘s champion, there seems to be no narrative urgency. Not to mention the idiosyncrasies of mentioning our heroine causing her door hinges to squeak as protection but then being surprised by everyone stopping in unannounced for pages afterward. ⬇️
pickSo much fun rereading the series!! I can‘t wait for my favourite character to join the series 🥹❤️ #catsoflitsy
This might be ambitious but the end of the year TBR is locked in. I have a plan!
Desolation Canyon and The Widow (already about 1/2 done) are my 15 hours Spotify listens. Throne of Glass, I expect to finish this weekend and then I can start Wreck the Halls. Sasaki and Miyano is something I can definitely breeze through!
Wish me luck!!
Throne of Glass was so good, I can‘t wait to continue Celaena‘s story.🗡️ Plus this collector‘s edition is stunning. 🤩💜
On book 📕 239 for the year! 😃
Nothing like a hurkle durkle with a book and coffee to start the morning.
pickI enjoyed this one. It was definitely more political intrigue than romantasy. I am hopeful the next book has a bit more of the love story - however after reading ACOTAR I don‘t know which way the “romance” will go. I‘m on pins & needles because of that. 😂 4.5 💫
pickThis book series ripped my heart in half and stitched it back together multiple times. I don‘t think I will ever fully heal.
pickMy friend finally got me to join the SJM hype train. It took awhile for me to get hooked, but once it got me, I wasn‘t leaving. Lots of YA tropes with this one, but I find it charming overall and there were several moments I was on edge because of everything that was happening.

pickMUST. READ. Can‘t say it enough
It will change your life for the better ! 🙇🏻♀️
NOT overhyped
pickEveryone told me I‘d like this series better than ACOTAR, and they weren‘t wrong…that being said, it‘s definitely VERY YA.
pickEntertaining fantasy novel- Hunger Games with a little Harry Potter and Dan Brown mixed in. Escapism reading for sure!
#summerreading in Seville 🍊💃Spain and the view from our glorious apartment balcony of the cathedral, made a mistake with this series of books 📚 by starting on the second in the series 😣hate it when that happens ! Happy 😃 summer reading 📖 folks 🥰
pickWell, I officially began this journey. I enjoyed the first one and immediately started the second. Whoops!
pickTook me a bit to get into. But as an audio book, it helped. It was a slow start. Had to renew it a few times from the libby app. 😊
Fantasy series lovers, your next world of adventure awaits! 😌
Sarah J. Maas brings her masterful storytelling to Throne of Glass, a series filled with epic battles, complex characters, and enchanting worlds. ⚔️👑✨

pickWHY didn‘t I get the second book before I was done, so I could keep reading!?! Loved the first book of this series, and cannot wait to read more!
I've read and loved several of this author's books now and would not have believed it. I'm not one to enjoy this genre. Or so I thought. I actually find myself looking forward to reading them. They really take me away from everything. Into a world of magic. Not always good magic but also not bad magic. Just a divergent from the other books I enjoy.

pickAnd so my journey through this series begins, I can already tell I‘m going to love it. Sneaky hints of magic, sinister baddies, and of course the romance! It‘s going to be a ride. Sarah J Maas knows how to build a world.
Tonight's plans : comfy rebdpng while listenning to a vinyle
I‘m on crown of midnight and I love it I read throne of glass first and then I read assassin‘s Blade but you could‘ve read assassin‘s blade first, that‘s how you‘re supposed to read it. I loved all the books so far and have given them all 5 stars and I could definitely see her writing and getting better and better the more I read. definitely cried at the end of assassin‘s blade.
This book is so addicting! I read the fourth book of the series, and now I'm reading the first; they are so good.
#ItTakesAllKinds Day7 War
The story follows the journey of Celaena Sardothien, a teenage assassin in a corrupt kingdom with a tyrannical ruler, the King of Adarlan. As the tale progresses, Celaena forms unexpected bonds and uncovers a conspiracy amidst her adventures. (Wiki)
Throughout the entire series, the kingdoms are at war with one another.

so-soCould have been better.
FULL REVIEW: https://abookandateacup.blogspot.com/2018/07/review-throne-of-glass.html
pickI was intimidated to read this when I first started because there were lots of exclamation points But it was an amazing book and I‘m shocked because she started writing this book when she was 16! I felt like the main character really did not feel like an assassin But I‘m gonna read the prequel after this, I already have it, I‘m very excited
