Seems like I‘m only tempted to watch TV if it‘s based on a book I‘ve read 😂 this show is ok so far.... but I‘m on season 1 and they are cruising along with the story. I can‘t see how they‘re going to get 3 seasons worth out of the content 😶 Anyone else watching? Is it worth it to keep going?

Between a pick/so so. I adore this author and her 2nd book, but I didn‘t love this one 😕 It DID have her trade mark style... but I listened on audiobook and there was way too much cursing. I‘m light years away from being prudish so the average person might have a REALLY hard time 🙁 plus WAY too many recipes and listing of ingredients etc. Thankfully there were still relatable topics about relationships and her all-star cat ♥️

Once in a while a book comes along that reminds you of exactly WHY you read in the first place: This was one of those books for me. It was so thought provoking, it make me evaluate my thinking on so many subjects. It was unique and shocking... yet scary and brilliant I simply could NOT put it down. Cant wait to read more books from this Author!

This was a suggestion from my #BookSister @sprainedbrain Thank you SO much! ♥️♥️

I stopped by this cool little book store in Ann Arbor, Michigan. They had a great selection + collectors editions. They also had lots of Harry Potter stuff, and I got the above Jane Austen bumper sticker 😎🙃♥️

This is hard to rate... at times I couldn‘t put it down, but there were 2 really long slow parts (over 100 pages each) which were very difficult to get thru. I‘m kind of obsessed with the Tudors, but if you‘re not: this may be trying for you 😕 Despite this book being fiction, I did learn some things, but I think Alison Weir‘s style may not be for me. Not sure when/if I will continue with the series... 🤔

Reader, if you know me at all...then you know I have very little interest in non-fiction 😆 (unless it‘s Tudor related) but this BOOK got all the stars!! Not only was it downright HILARIOUS, it was so down to earth and relatable (especially if you grew up poor, but even if you didn‘t) she also tackled some serious personal issues that I was not expecting in such an approachable way. Consider me on board for anything this lady writes!😃♥️🎉

Yikes!! 😅 Well I guess this would be considered a short novella... but I just felt like the characters acted in ways opposite to their established personalities. The storyline was also quite boring: see below ⬇️ the only thing that saved this from being a pan was probably the memory of the previous three books, and the fact that it was nice to visit this world again... even with a boring storyline 😪

While not my favorite in the series, this was still quite stellar 😎 with characters that feel as familiar as friends and excellent world building that feels so natural. Of course, this being the ACOTAR series there were plenty of 🔥scenes 😁. My only complaint was too much of a war vibe at times.
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

In a word, WOW!! 😵 What an amazing sequel!! This book took a totally different direction from the first one and built a new world for the MC, but oh what a world it was!! The characters really become as familiar to you as friends, and man! some of the scenes in this book are smoking HOT!! 😍🔥 🔥 🔥 I‘ve read ahead in the series and this is so far the only one I want to re-read!! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️/5

Reader, I have finally finished this book! 😎🤣 SO MANY.FEELINGS!! ♥️ This was quite an experience! And while it wasn‘t my fave classic I‘ve ever read, I laughed I cried etc. Beautifully written with such an iconic, strong MC that she feels completely real. The author expresses things I‘ve felt in love but could never put into words... which is refreshing and delightfully shocking at the same time ☺️

@Eggs #WonderousWednesday

Ok Litsy fam... it‘s time to admit that the tagged book has literally ruined me 😟 it‘s given me such a book hangover that I simply CANNOT read anything else!According to my “currently reading” list on goodreads I have started 9 different books recently and have no interest in ANY of them. I only BARELY finished City of Girls on audiobook. The book hangover is so REAL I can‘t manage an interest in any other book! I have no idea what to do! 😶lol!

All.The.Feels! 🤗 So much going on: 1940‘s New York, the theatre scene etc.
The Good:
-Character driven w/lots of fun secondary characters
-I seriously want to SEE the play this production puts on!
-Similar to Evelyn Hugo at times
-Ending ties together nicely
The ‘not so‘ good:
-Very SLOW start
-The MC was annoying
-So much talk of dresses + fabrics it‘s overkill at times
-Felt too long for ‘letter to another person‘ format.

Where my Tudor Dorks at?!!! 🤣 lol! 😎 Ok this isn‘t easy to rate, because it was sooo darn slow in parts and then such a page turner in other parts. I‘ve been kind of obsessed with the Tudors since college, but if you are NOT, I‘m not sure if the pace of this will hold your interest. 😕I see why ppl call Katherine ‘the boring one‘ 😂 anyway I did learn a lot... And I‘m on board for Tudor anything so I will continue the series. ☺️

6) most surprising most intriguing
@Cinfhen

Seriously... Mind blown!! 🤯 This has become my fave book of the entire year. It was hilarious and kept me laughing non stop for days! 🤣 But even more than that, it had diversity and such positive messages. Very well written + some steamy scenes as well! 🔥 The ending was a bit idealistic, but I couldn‘t even fault that... with such stellar and brilliant execution of the entire story.

I randomly bought my first Kindle!!!! ♥️ I love it so far ☺️

This was fun for those of us who miss this particular world and it‘s characters. So happy to hear more backstory on one of my faves, Minerva McGonagall!☺️ and there was even a chapter about Sybil Trelawney! 🙌🏽 (wish there was a bit more about her) Overall, I‘d say if you only like Harry Potter in passing you might want to skip this one. But it‘s enjoyable if you‘re a big fan like me. 🤗 Thanks! ♥️ @Eggbeater for telling me how to find these! 😎

This is me right now ====> 😱 Can‘t believe the twists and turns in this. I was pleasantly surprised by the ending too and I see why this book gets a lot of Litsy love. Thanks @JoScho for such an awesome gift!!! ☺️

Short novella from The Cruel Prince saga, set between books 1 & 2. It was nice to have a bit of backstory... too bad it was mainly focused on the most useless character🤣: Taryn. But at least it showed different aspects of her character that were only hinted at before, plus more about Vivi!! 💜🤗🌈 (whom I LOVE!!!) and lots of backstory on Taryn and Judes‘ relationship.

#AudioBook Well!😵 I‘m wondering exactly what to think! This had a very compelling story with lots of extremely fun characters! Lots of court intrigue too. The villains were a bit corny, So you might want to go for the print version 🤣 and the ending was kind of meh. But overall it was really fun and I‘m looking forward to the tv series! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ /5

I waited for this book for months and I was pretty disappointed 😕 There are some YA books with mature dialogue that can be read by anyone: this is NOT one of those books 🤨 The extremely juvenile dialogue was cliche and predictable. The romances were adorable!! (It‘s the only thing saving it from being a ‘pan‘) the characters were compelling enough to keep me reading but the ending was so bad I kind of wished I bailed 😶
