So much has happened in this series (and just in this book alone). I have 340 pages left and I genuinely cannot predict what will happen next or how it will end, but I've loved this series.
pickHonestly more like between pick and so so. I'm just not huge on YA anymore as personal preference, but this was pretty cute. Appreciated that the characters acted like their age group (17-18) rather than either preteens or adults who are nearing graduating from high school. It really rang true for me. Also loved that the mc was willing to change her mind about people when she was...presented with new evidence, we'll say 😆
Starting this one today. Got it as a $5 offer at BandN cafe without realizing it was YA. I'm not doing so well with YA lately but I've heard good things about Lynn Painter.
Anyone tried this one?
Bastet is very happy I'm sitting in one place to read cause she's all about cuddles 🥰
pickThis was a hilarious romp. I love when Death is an actual character! Definitely recommend this one. Imperfect characters being human, even when they're not human.
Isherwood has a way of describing things that leaves no doubt how something is supposed to sound or feel.
25% in. This has been such a good series. I'll be so sad when it's over.

Another year, another start to library book club. This is our January pick!
pickAnother beautifully written book. Short and sad and magical. I really enjoyed this one 💜
bailedI purposefully waited to read this to give myself space from having studied Great Gatsby so many times in school.
It did not work. I'm probably forever all great gatsby-ed out. Even with the (interesting) changes offered here, I was just very bored.
The writing is absolutely beautiful, though. I will definitely check out Nghi Vo's other works.
This one has a super interesting premise. Really enjoyed the initial chapter 💜
pickBuddy read with @BookKenz
We guessed a lot of it pretty early, but the storyline made us question ourselves a few times.
Lots of fun and very different from the other one I've read from her ( In a dark dark wood- I enjoyes it too 🙂)
Looking forward to reading more from this author!
panI really liked the premise of the story and the writing was easy to read, but I was bored out of my gourd in the first 50 pages. The outcome was also extra obvious very early on with how the story was being told.
Kicking off my spooky season reads (late) with this one. I loved The Woman in Black and didn't care for The Most in the Mirror.
So far, I'm really liking this one.

I wasn't supposed to tear up so early. Oh, thats so heartbreaking.
Time to have my heart ripped out if others are to be trusted!
pickThis one was silly and sweet and just what I needed to kick off my vacation. Definitely want to look into the rest of the series!
This has the best opening I've read in a long time. So great!
pickThis book was absolutely fantastic. Beautiful writing and a great story! 5 out of 5 uncommon stars ✨️
Diving into this series now. Super interesting beginning and very very dark. The artwork is just fantastic 🔥🔥
pickA beautifully written short story retelling. I also just adore the cover of this book.
Reading this one for the library book club. Have to say I'm not loving it.
Women in STEM? YES.
Women in STEM but mostly about the relationship with a man? Yawn.
Does it get better?
pickThe third in the series. I'm really enjoying these books for the light entertainment value, though there are surprisingly touching moments throughout.
Not much Poirot in this Poirot, but chugging along none-the-less.
Getting ready to join in reading sprints with this one.
A daddy long leg just tried to climb up my leg and I screamed bloody murder so I'm sure that's a good sign. 😂😂😂
I didn't like how this started but by the end of the first part I thought it was an interesting way to introduce the characters of the story.
Guess it's time to start collecting Christie books (minus the spy/thrillers that I haven't liked).
pickThis release is a bindup of the first 2 volumes of Saiyuki. I enjoyed this immensely and I can already feel myself being sad over the fact that there are only 9 volumes (in this first part, not including reload, gaiden, etc).
All the characters are great but Hakkai in particular....yes. 💜
so-soHonestly kind of a letdown to an overall amazing idea. I loved a couple of the characters and that made the not so grear parts all the more frustrating. Still, it's only 21 volumes so it could have been worse.
4 volumes to finish this one. Gonna knock it out today. Not loving it as much as I thought I would but I'll see how I feel at the end.
Also, the cover for this one is gorgeous. 😍
pickFinally got around to reading this one for book club. Not what I was expecting, but I really liked it!
On volume 4 now. Not the best series I've read so far but enjoyable enough. Hoping something hooks me in soon but it's only 21 volumes so 🤷♀️
This series is up next. The idea behind it is so wild and I'm very intrigued about where this is going. Plus the different covers are so pretty 😍
It finally happened. Manga tightened it's grip on me. I'm hooked 💜💜💜
pickThe book was just as beautiful as the movie. Time for a rewatch.
However, espadrilles is a word I never wanna read again. 🤣🤣
