#Big10K @REPollock congratulations on 10K #litfluence and thank you for this generous giveaway!

For Halloween this year, I'm just going to go for simple. Just going to get some cat ears headband, a cat tail, wear some black clothes with some cute knee high boots and paint my face up kitty style lol. I LOVE dressing up for Halloween and I usually go all out but this year has been a tough one so just keeping it simple, cheap, easy.

Thinking I'm gonna read this after I finish Grave Mercy. A scary book for Halloween!

"They called it the killing day. Twelve people dead, in the space of a few hours. Five murderers:neighbors, relatives, friends. All of them so normal. All of them seemingly harmless. All of them now dead by their own hand... except one. And that one has no answers to offer the shattered town. She doesn't even know why she killed - or whether she'll do it again."

I tried reading Renegades sometime last year and just could not get into it!

But everyone raves about it being awesome so I wanted to give it another shot.

I'm at 12% and I'm enjoying it so far at least. Must've just not been the right time last time 🤷🏻‍♀️

I've been bewitched by Caraval's magic!

This book was so good. It definitely lived up to all the hype about it! I honestly didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did. Now I'm kicking myself for waiting so long to read it!

@Librarybelle #200kgiveaway
Thank you for doing this giveaway and congrats on 200K! That is quite an achievement! 😊

I would love the 2nd book in the Poison Study series, Magic Study. I just read the 1st one and I've become obsessed! I'd love to continue the series and read the 2nd book.

My kids and I will carve pumpkins and then cook the seeds together. They really enjoy it every year.
And
Me and my older sister always take our kids trick or treating together. We've been doing it for years now.

Thanks for doing this generous giveaway! And congrats on 50K!! 😊

I did it! I completed my 2019 Goodreads Reading Challenge! I'm so proud I read 70 books already!
When I was younger, I could've knocked 70 books out in no time but now with 2 toddlers it is so hard to find time to read and still get sleep! Haha
I'm going to try getting to as close to 100 by the end of the year now as I can.

"The question is, can you forgive them for being human anyway?"

These beauts came today! Didn't even know Darkdawn was signed when I preordered it, so that was a cool surprise lol

I still need to get the 3rd book, Two Dark Reigns, so I can actually read Five Dark Fates though.

Love the covers on both of these! Excited to read the final conclusions to these series!

Omg do I love this book! I am so relieved it lived up to the hype surrounding it.

I was so intrigued by the magic in this one, the storm magic. It's such a interesting, cool, unique concept and I ate up every tidbit of information given about it throughout the book.

I love Aurora, aka Roar. I love Locke. I love them together! Am I the only one that doesn't love Cassius? I just get "creepy jerk" feelings from him lol

5 stars!

My daughter got The Very Hungry Caterpillar for this month from Imagination Library in the mail today. This was my favorite book when I was her age 😊 who didn't love the Hungry Caterpillar?

Starting this beauty today. I won an ARC of it from BookishFirst.com last week and I cannot find any reviews on it on Goodreads or here, good or bad! So I'm going into this one with a completely open mind which is really nice! This one grabbed my attention from the exceprt I'd read so I'm hoping it continues to keep it. If anything, the cover is gorgeous!

Happy Birthday on the 17th @Jerdencon !! I hope you hit 49,000 #litfluence by then!!

You're awesome to do a giveaway for your birthday. Such a generous thing to do!

This series has become my all time favorite. Its just so good. I love the characters and the world and the storyline. I want my own Rafe ❤ Lia is such an inspiring, strong lead. I love her drive and her "never give up" attitude. I flew thru reading both of these, they were so hard to put down! Now I need to hurry and get the 3rd and finale book, The Beauty of Darkness, ordered! I don't want the series to end but I have to know what's gonna happen!

I read a total of 9 books in May, 2 were ebooks. Most were 5 stars so I had a pretty good month!

•You Suck-328 p, 4⭐
•The Kiss of Deception-492 p, 5⭐
•The Inquisition-398 p, 5⭐
•Flamecaster-535 p, 5⭐
•Vortex Visions-374 p, 5⭐
•This Heart of Mine-384 p, 5⭐
•Wicked Saints-(eARC), 385 p, 4⭐
•A Gathering of Shadows-512 p, 5⭐
•Air Awakens-(ebook), 342 p, 4⭐

I can't pick 1 favorite this month, they were all so good.

Total of 3,750 pages total read!

I had bought Vampire Academy years and years ago and I enjoyed it but I just never got around to buying the rest of the series. Well, I was at my local Ollie's store a week or so ago and seen Shadow Kiss and Spirit Bound for only $1.99!! so I grabbed them and I ordered the rest online. Frostbite got here today, just waiting on Blood Promise and Last Sacrifice now. I'm excited to reread the first and finally read the whole series! 😊

I was so excited to finally have all three of this series finally bought and residing on my shelf together... until Ruin and Rising came and it was the other version. So now it doesn't match! This bugs the crap outta me when the covers are different like this.

I love the other version of the books though and would rather have them so maybe I'll just buy new Shadow & Bone and Siege & Storm to match Ruin instead of buying a new one of it. Choices!!

Love, finally, being back in this world!

I guess this is how brand new books look for Amazon 🤦🏻‍♀️ the box it came in wasn't damaged either so it wasn't the mailman's doing.

Definitely contacted them and now I got a replacement coming. If I pay for a brand new book, I expect it to come looking brand new.

I was waiting until this collector's edition came out in March (pretty sure it was March) to buy this 2nd book in the Shades of Magic series, since I had gotten the 1st book, A Darker Shade of Magic in the collectors edition as well, and now I finally got it! The art on the inside is so gorgeous and all the characters look so good!

Now to wait for the 3rd book, A Conjuring of Light, to come out in the collectors edition in October.

I just can't get over how gorgeous this book is! I got it from FaeCrate's March box. It also has a gorgeous graphic design of the two main characters on the inside of the dust jacket that was done by Gabriella Bujdoso who does incredibly stunning work.

I love the limited edition of books some of these book subscription boxes do!

I absolutely love this.

I don't think I've ever said "holy sh**" or "OMG" as many times as I did on tonight's episode of Game of Thrones... I'm still in shock! ???

I am slapping myself for waiting so long to start this series now that I'm almost finished with the first book. It is so good! I love the characters and the world is incredible. Now I have another series I only have the 1st book to and need to get the rest ASAP 🤷🏻‍♀️

Btw, does anyone else get Throne of Glass vibes from this cover? Cause that could easily be Celaena Sardothien. Or is it just me? Lol

#SeriesRead @TheSpineView

I got this gorgeous ARC in the mail today! I am really looking forward to reading this one!

It's about Leena Edenfrell, an exiled beast Charmer, who is forced to sell her beloved magical beasts on the black market to survive. A deed which is illegal to her fellow Charmers. After learning she has a price on her head, she makes a deal with the realm's most feared assassins, she'll give them any beast they want in exchange for her life.

Couldn't tag the exact book but seen this review on Goodreads and I was laughing so hard. This may be the best review I've ever seen

🤣

I am really loving this series!
The 1st book, The Novice, was really good and this 2nd one, The Inquisition, is even better! I love Fletcher and Ignatius. They're such a great team, Ignatius sounds so cute. I wish I was a summoner so I could have my own awesome, kick ass demon! 😁
I believe I'll be finished with the tagged book sometime tonight and then I'll have to hurry and order the 3rd and 4th book so I can just read the whole series asap!

I fell asleep reading the tagged book.. and when I woke up I found this underneath me 😩 I cracked my wooden bookmark!

It wouldn't let me get the whole cover in the picture but! Has anyone seen this cover reveal for Children of Virtue & Vengeance?! It is stunning! I feel like she's going to kick my butt and stare into my soul haha
I cannot wait for this book to come out!

@Kayla.Adriena thank you for doing this awesome #SpringHasSprungGiveaway !
These are such cute bookish goodies and my fingers are all crossed to win! 😊🤞🏻

I'm at about 95% with this one right now.. definitely finishing it tonight. Don't want it to end though! This series very quickly and easily became top 3 favorite series..

But page 401-402 made my jaw literally hit the floor as I read it! I was so shocked and happy and relieved. I was hoping Mia wasn't THAT cruel and heartless.. I'm glad to see she isn't. 😊

(EDITED)
JAW DROPPED TO FLOOR AGAIN ON PAGE 411!!. kristoff.. you're killing me!

This was my exact reaction when Bran said that to Jaime in front of everyone! Hahaha

GO Bran; you weird little badass! ✊🏻

Happy Easter, everyone!

I just finished The Antidote the other day and I really liked it! I enjoyed the storyline and Fee had incredible character growth throughout the story. Plus that cover is gorgeous!

Now reading Sanctum, which I hadn't heard of before but I'm so hooked already! I'm gonna have to buy this one and the rest of the series now!

These were great picks guys! 😊 looking forward to the next one!

They're making a TV show out of this book on AMC?! I had no idea! I need to hurry and read this book before the show comes out in June!

Okay, in the movie, when Simon's mom says "you can exhale now, Simon" I lost it. The dam broke. My eyes flooded.

Finally watching this movie and it's making me want to read the book even more than I wanted to before. Such a cute movie ❤ I want to know who Blue is already!!

This picture doesn't do the illustration justice at all but man.. every new illustration I see as I turn a new page in this 10th Anniversary edition becomes my favorite. They're all so gorgeous and so well done. But this one of Kvothe playing his lute after a string has broken is definitely one of my top favorites.

I am mesmerized by this book. It's written so beautifully and just so good. I'm so glad I finally made myself start reading it.

This one was even better than the 1st book. I had a hard time ever putting it down. I love the characters, Nahri, Ali, Dara. There's continuous action, it makes you HAVE to keep reading and turning the pages to find out what will happen next. Tremendous character growth, for all characters involved. I would've liked Dara to have more chapters but if that's the only complaint I have then I'd say that's pretty good.

Another 5 ⭐ for Chakraborty

Just flew through this book! So good! I love the idea of 4 Queens ruling their separate quadrants but still ruling together instead of 1 King ruling all. It's got that "hear us women roar" vibe. Really enjoyed Keralie's character growth throughout her adventure as well. Easily felt and connected with her. 5 stars!

@GondorGirl this came today! Thank you so much for all of this!! I've been wanting a tea strainer and this book sleeve is so cute! I love it all and I'm looking forward to reading Suitors and Sabotage 😊 thank you again! This was a great box! #GiGiBookBox

#SeriesRead @TheSpineView

I have TONS of series I've only read book 1 in that I would love to continue the series so this so great and will push me to get them read!

You're awesome for doing this!! 😊

(Fat cats are rich people BTW)

I swear I've never laughed out loud with any book as much as I have with this one!

Whoever the author is behind this Reed King acronym is freaking hilarious!

Truckee Wallace is incredible

#GiGiBookBox @GondorGirl thank you for this amazing giveaway!!

I really love the whole cut-throat world of The Game of Thrones series. It's my favorite fantasy type world.

And for a more peaceful place, I love the Shire, like your picture shows 😊 I can only imagine how many books a person could read through in a place like that!

The very first thing I read when I open this book to chapter 1 😂 yeah, I have a good feeling I'm going to really enjoy this book!

I got this ARC in the mail... last week or week before I believe and I never heard of it and didn't really look it over much until today. It sounds so good! It says its "a topsy-turvy, madcap adventure where The Wizard of Oz meets Ready Player One's Oasis." Now how incredibly interesting does this book sound?! I will be starting this one tonight!

"I am not worried, Harry," said Dumbledore, his voice a little stronger despite the freezing water. "I am with you."

I can't even! ??

1. Books, always!

3. Dolores Umbridge 😡
4. Tagged! I love Harry and Sirius meeting and finding each other.
