pickOf all the TJR books I've read so far, this is my least favourite. I usually feel so connected to the characters, but this time I didn't feel that connection to either character.
The topic was brilliant and there's so much that I've learned about space and starts.
The plot was engaging, and I was really curious about how it would all wrap up, so I kept turning the pages.
pickContinuing my reread of the Chronicles of Ixia - as with the first book/companion, Snyder has published Valek's POV as a companion for Magic Study. I enjoyed reading these in tandem even more, as Yelena and Valek aren't together for large chunks of time, meaning that The Study of Magic has more of its own story and was less repetitive. Thoroughly enjoyable.
so-soI have really mixed feelings about this one.
On the one hand I really enjoyed parts of the story;
On the other hand there were parts I felt were totally unnecessary and parts that were unnecessarily brutal and cruel.

Got an easier one this month - I had to go with green because it‘s my favorite color 💚 Enjoy, friends, and don‘t forget to tag me! #TBRtarot
pickPresumably I read this book back when I purchased it for a quarter back in 1997, but I have no memory of it 😂 A Scholastic Book Club reprint of a 1932 story, this one was perfectly fun but not particularly engaging. But I probably would have liked it better when I was the age for which it's aimed. Soft pick.
so-soThis one took me forever to read…. I just didn‘t feel compelled to make time for it, even with the exquisite setting. And I would‘ve bailed and tried again, except I needed this as a do-over for a #bookchain prompt I didn‘t plan very well! 😂🤷♀️ @TheAromaofBooks
#Bookchain progress!
