pickWow, my master degree was so busy I went quiet for almost 2 months! But I'm back with an awesome indie fantasy book. It's funny, unique characters and a retelling of my favorite fairy tale! It's also a great mystery book. So this book is amazing for almost everyone, so please read it :D
pickBefore reading, I read that the first half is slow and that's true. But I don't think it's boring. There is just a lot of worldbuilding. And Sanderson is setting up for events, but that takes time. Maybe it was a bit too realistic, as a book at one point needs to get going. But the second half was awesome and made all the slow worldbuilding worth it. I loved the different characters, but I'm a bit sad they didn't come together yet.
Is #LitsyAfterDark still continuing? So many people reading ahead and/or dropping it! Yesterday I read until chapter 10 and so far it's a bit slow. The mask thing is a bit weird though. I think I could survive with a mask on my face, if that's the worst that will happen... Especially if it happens to everyone.
@jpmcwisemorgan (and everyone else participating).
My first Readathon and I made the 24 hours in total! I dnf add the last 2 books though. They are a sequel and I am not interested enough to read that.

I realized I don't have a reading buddy... I don't know anyone interested in reading as a hobby. Luckily I have all the great people from Litsy and my online book clubs ❤

pickThis was easily the best book in the series. The characters had much more personality then in the previous books. There was a bit more action, while still maintaining the romance and I liked that more. It takes some time to get through the second book, but after that The One has an amazing ending. I wish Kiera started at this level of writing. All in all I enjoyed the series while doing my Readathon!

I'm at 13h, 25m and 59s in total. My stopwatch stopped a few times, but luckily I got the screenshots! Enjoying the third book of The Selection Series and I think it'll be the best book in the entire series.
#SummerLovinReadathon #TellEveryBookworm9
The biggest book I own is this one, I think. Well, it's probably actually one of those collection books of series, but that doesn't count! My ebook is a staggering 1254 pages. I was a bit frightened to start this one, but I'm almost finished. And I like it!
#SummerLovinReadathon #TellEveryBookworm8
Continuing this series first with the marathon! Didn't have time to read anything yesterday and didn't wake up as early as I wanted. Still need to go 13 hours and 40 minutes!
Liked the first book, disliked the second. Not much hope for the third, but crossing my fingers. Don't want to dnf a series...

panThis quote is actually what I didn't like about the second book of this serie. The first book was all about the love triangle and I liked it. This second book was the exact same thing, except with fewer candidates. And it became a square. So didn't really like it. If I wanted to read the first book again, I wouldn't have read this book. I'm a bit sick about her whining of needing time by now...
#SummerLovinReadathon #TellEveryBookworm8
1. Thor
2. Robin Hobb
3. Bike vacation around the North Sea. Can't wait until I'm ready to do that!
4. Just one. I'm simple, haha.

pickThe ending of this is a bit abrupt. I mean, it was a nice, fitting, ending, but they moved towards it within a page! One moment I was in the middle of a story and the next it suddenly ended nicely!
But I recommend this book to anyone who was a lighthearted dystopian love story. I couldn't put it down! It's not the best of the best, but it's a great book in between heavier books.
#SummerLovinReadathon #TellEveryBookworm1
Really loving the first book so far. Romance is not my typical book, but I just got so into it. It's a bit straightforward, but the writing style makes up for it.

Let the games begin! #SummerLovinReadathon #TellEveryBookworm1
Just 1 hour until my very first Readathon starts ❤ Really excited to participate!
@MonthlyBookClub #SummerLovinReadathon
Gonna start this series for the Summer Lovin Readathon of @MonthlyBookClub. Really excited, even if it will be a bit busy this weekend. Hope this series is any good! The cover dresses are so beautiful 😍

What a beautiful quote. I aspire to be as honorable as this surgeon ❤
@Schnoebs does an amazing giveaway! A mystery box... Who doesn't want that?! #CSGiveaway
I started this as the first book of the 1001 book challenge. I don't really read classics and want to change that. I only read 4 books of the whole list! It's quite strange! So far it's about a mentally handicapped man of 33 and his family. The story changes from the present to memories of the past and back without any warning, so that makes it difficult to follow.
#1001books #classics
1. Fairy Tales of Andersen (older one's than tagged book). I loved them as a child. I have these huge books of him, given by my baby sitter that I really loved (got tons of Dutch children and teen books from her).
2. Toy Story!
3. Beautiful Liar. I had to do dance to this when I was forced to participate in the musical by the end of primary school (it's customary here). One of my strongest memories about a song!
4. Someone who didn't do this.
pickI world give this book 3.5 stars. The story is about 4 siblings who learn the fate of their death. We follow them throughout their lives and learn the impact this knowledge has on their life. It had some cliches, but they were very well played and very well realistic. I don't like all of the sibling's lives, but overall I liked it.
Starting this series for #LitsyAfterDark readalong. Excited!
I finished part 2 yesterday and I really liked it a lot more than part 1. It's interesting to see how knowing your date of death can influence one's mind.
1. Dry.
2. July🔆
3. No, it feels like my youth went by more quickly!
4. Hate. So strong a word and used way too often.

Some healthy reading today! So far I think there is some great worldbuilding. Some people say the first half is boring. It doesn't have a lot of action for sure, but the characters are great. The tactical decisions, the people who don't care to learn other cultures (and those who do!) and those who don't care about others... I'm curious to see how it'll all tie together.
This book seems to be not well received,but the cover is beautiful and the story sounds interesting. On my tbr...
Loving this book more and more! I had to warm up to Kaladin, but really love his chapters now 😊 Who's your favorite character?
#fantasy #BrandonSanderson #Cosmere #InForTheLongHaul
Almost 1/3 on the way, but I am a little disappointed. It began with someone telling their date of death, but after that, nothing about it at all. Just living their lives. Tell me it will get better!
1. The Avengers: infinity war, part 1.
2. Walking through nature.
3. I don't have one
4. Done
5. Done
#friyayintro @jesshowbooks
So true! Now on page 217 of Way of Kings and this hasn't really happened yet... Hope it will soon.
Finally starting this series! Everyone is so hyped about this series, so I'll finally see what's it about😄
Reading this YA book of Niki Cluff, who is active in one of the YA Facebook groups I am participating in. The writing style can't be compared to some great writers, but we all have to start somewhere. And it's still addicting to read. I dislike some of the word choices and she needs an editor. Would still recommend it to anyone that needs a book that's light and fun.
