pickDefinitely notThe Hunger Games anymore! Even though there are a lot battles being fought and normally am not that much into war games kind of stuuf, I am completely absorbed by this series. Haven‘t heard something that thrilling in a long time. The narrator Tim Gerard Reynolds is worth every penny.
Diving back into Six of Crows while enjoying some oatmeal with bananas and maple syrup.
It‘s not the bad memories that tear a person apart. It‘s the good ones.
When the odds are bad, you change the rules.

📬 I mailed my #WinterNatureCardSwap cards on Friday @TheBookHippie !
I started working on them in November! Not sure how it took me so long but here we are. 😊
📪 Thank you to everyone who sent cards already! They are always a bright spot in my day! 💌
Friends!!!! Do any of you follow Gail Carson Levine on IG? She is delightful in talking about her books!!! I think i want to read many books i did not know had been written. If you do look at her page I would love to hear what you think too!
bailedHeaps of dialogue, not very interesting. Two teenagers - an obnoxious nerd boy. A girl driven by emotions. Could feel somewhat realistic in a way but it‘s too much. Oddly they (she really) cooks dinner for a near retiree grumpy teacher every evening and then goes home to do the same. Why?! The writing could suit 10 year olds but the guy always joking that she should have sex with him feels older. Doubt I‘d have liked it at 12,14,16… bailed pg55.
#yuletidereads begins December 21st if anyone would like to join me. There's a tracker on storygraph and I will be posting the categories soon.
pickI really enjoyed this series. It's a YA about aliens and now I realize I haven't read many books with aliens as the focus. It starts with 16 year old Kara waking up behind a gas station but she doesn't remember how she got there. The last thing she remembers is trying to jump out the car during a fight with her dad. Turns out she has been gone for 5 years. Life has continued on without her and so much has happened. (Continued in comment)
pickI liked the first one a little bit more, but I did start and finish this today so I can‘t complain 🤣❤️ I found it started off a little slow but by the second half I couldn‘t put it down! I‘m excited to read the last one in the series tomorrow 🥰
