Red Rising | 
#Two4Tuesday
1. Have to go with Sevro from Red Rising—a bit of a cheat because he is a supporting character, who becomes a main one, in an already great book but he does make every scene he‘s in even better. ♥️ Sevro
2. I generally like a strong cast of supporting characters.

pickDarrow, born a red, must become a gold to start a revolution of his people.
A way more hard core hunger games. Highly recommend
pickI loved this one. Can‘t wait to get my hands on the rest so I can binge them.
This was for my Psionics & Divination class.

My Calling
I‘m hoping to become a Godseer at #orilium this year. It fits with my character, Veta Mae, very well. Hears hoping I can do it 🤞

This should be the last big haul for a while…..went to the used bookstore the other day and picked up these with the end of my birthday money.

pickMy love, my love / remember the cries / when winter died for springs skies. / They roared and roared / but we grabbed our seed / and sowed a song / against their greed.
🎧⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was heart wrenching and pulse pounding and I didn‘t want it to end. I want to write something that twists like this knife of a book. Kind of Hunger Games and Gladiator on Mars.
The song gets stuck in my head. 🎶

pickI love this book and the entire series. It's very gritty and dark, but I couldn't put it down.
A book that #beginswith #red and one with #rosso ??

pickThis book is battered and beaten like many of the characters that Pierce Brown crafted carefully. If you are looking for the story of an underdog, manipulation, rage, love and passion - look no further. I can‘t wait to read book two and rate this bad boy an 8/10. Absolutely worth the read.
Starting 2022 in my natural habitat. Finishing up book one of Pierce Brown‘s rising series.
Just started this series by Pierce Brown and am already enthralled. I haven‘t read sci-fi/fantasy for a while so this is a nice reintroduction to round out 2021.
For the #red prompt of #wishesandblessings ...I read this series earlier this year; books 1-3 were fantastic! Books 4-5 not so much, but I'm in the minority with that opinion. 😂 ...this gorgeous picture is courtesy of Instagram.

so-soThis book was just a little too sci-fi-ish for me. And a game where kids kill kids while gods play with and change the game is a little too Hunger Games-ish for me. I see why people like it, but HG was way better IMO. That being said I‘m sure I‘ll read the rest of the series, ha!
⭐️: 3/5

This was boring. Mix of Hunger Games and Lord of the Flies. The MC is too perfect. That's why I have a few plot hole questions.
I'm between Pan and So-So.

I'm struggling. I find it boring. Yet, I'm determined to finish it.
pick5 stars!
I can see why people keep mentioning The Hunger Games when reviewing this book. It's more violent, does has a lot of the same elements, but there's a lot more going on in this world. Some advice- skip trying the audiobook (this is a story you need to read) and go in knowing that it will take a bit to suck you in. Once you get pulled in though, you won't be able to stop.
bailedBailed only 10% into the audiobook, but I could tell pretty quickly that I wasn‘t going to enjoy it! It‘s just not my type of thing! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'm posting one book per day from the ever growing unread stacks in my personal library. No description or explanation, just books I own and plan to read. #tbr
Day 65 (Audible edition) - missed a few days so posting multiples today
so-soI finished Red Rising about a minute ago. There are definitely some mixed feelings going on. I expected to be blown away, but it just felt lacking in some ways. However, I‘m really interested to see where this series goes. The end set up a plot line that really intrigued me.

pick🎧📚 Hunger Games, Lord Of The Flies, A Deadly Education, on Mars, for adults!
I‘ve read that the second book is where the series takes off.
Since my first sentence says it all ... other than that the main protagonist Darrow is a bit unlikeable as the annoying “Chosen One” ... I‘ll just say that I enjoyed it, the narrator was good & I‘ve already gotten all of the available Audible books.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickI had a little trouble getting into this book initially, but I'm glad a persevered with it as it got stronger and stronger as it went along.
Darrow grew into such a powerful character; always striving and always learning as he fought to reshape the world.
Definitely going to need the 2nd book now...
so-soLittle YA-y for my tastes but an enjoyable origin for what will hopefully become a deeper, more compelling series.

I'm so glad I decided to restart this series before just diving into book 4 and 5. Red Rising was a favorite when I read it the first time and after this reread I think I love it even more. 💚
I typically tell people it reminds me of an adult Hunger Games, which still holds true. Darrow, Sevro, and Mustang are such amazing characters and the action is relentless.
pickI wasn‘t too sure about this book at first but I really enjoyed it in the end! I thought it was fantastic and very unique.
“And what was that about blood brothers? That means absolutely nothing. You might as well have said you were pinecone cousins.”
so-soJan 2021 - sci fi / dystopian - neat concept about caste and societal construct as well as class, wealth, and belief in yourself based on all those things. Solid foundation for the series and plays well as a movie of the mind. Hunger Games and GoT with a touch of we are ants ... in space
I read Red Rising a couple of years ago and really enjoyed it but never continued on with the series. Now I will!
I have heard the series gets better as the books go on, has anyone read them all?
This is the kind of thing that drives me up the wall! Why does Libby have only book three of a five book series? What am I meant to do with this? 😂 I swear that like, at least 90% of series that I look at don't have all the books in a series and a truly surprising amount that don't have the first book, so then how am I supposed to even start? 🤦

Thank you ever so much for the signed edition!!!

📘 Paranormal Romances I find has the right amount of fantasy and romance to make a great escape read.
📘 Brandon Sanderson! Love his books!
pickLove these books! Amazing start to a great story arc. If you enjoy sci-fi I would definitely recommend
Been cruising through this series since the beginning of COVID and am really liking it!! In book four Iron Gold and can‘t stop listening! Anyone else read this series? #redrising #goldenson #morningstar #irongold #darkage #redrisingsaga #audiobooking #COVIDreads
pickRereads! So fun reliving brilliant books and spotting things you missed the first time round.
pick5⭐️. This is my second time reading this and I liked it as much of not more this time around. Read it for book club and had great conversations about the parallels between violence and colors in the book and the issues of race and society levels in America today. Overall a action packed read that like many others have said can be seen as Hunger Games in space.
pickOne book off my goal of four in my #SuperSeptemberReadathon & 18.5hrs off my goal of 24. And I‘m definitely enjoying reading again🙌 I loved this book! I can‘t believe I haven‘t picked it up till now, I‘ve heard great things about it & it has lived up to the hype. I see it as The Hunger Games in space, though this 1st book is set just on Mars I believe the next are more wide ranging. I have Bk2 on my lap & ready to go now. How‘s your weekend?
Managed almost 8hrs of reading in the first day of my #SuperSeptemberReadathon (even with all the yard work I did too). I‘m hoping to get some more of this read tonight, but my asshole inconsiderate neighbours are having yet another party with extremely loud, extremely bad music which is affecting my concentration & driving me barmy. Need to find my noise cancelling headphones I think🎧How‘s your #readathon going?📚📚📚
Kicking off my #SuperSeptemberReadathon with a book that‘s been on my #MountTBRShelvesOfDoom for a long time. The 1st book in Browns series about a class war on Mars so far is brilliant. Reminds me of a cross between The Hunger Games, The Handmaids Tale & The Expanse series. It‘s a beautiful Spring day here in my garden so I‘m enjoying myself greatly. How you doing?🌻
