Stalking Jack the Ripper | Kerri Maniscalco
post image
Pickpick

I really enjoyed Stalking Jack the Ripper by Kerri Maniscalco. It was a quick and exciting read. The characters were great and Audrey Rose is officially my hero. Also Thomas Creswell is not too shabby himself 😏😏 I ended up giving this 5/5 stars.

Tower of Dawn | Sarah J Maas
post image

I still feel like Chaol's story deserves a better cover but it's not as bad as I thought it would be in person. Now I need to get caught up on this series so I can actually read this soon. #towerofdawn #throneofglass #sarahjmaas #ya #yafantasy #chaolwestfall

Continuing with my fall/winter TBR I have thrown in The Chronicles of Narnia, the edition I have is a bind up. I'm not sure if I will read the entire series or if I will just read a couple stories in between other reads. I will decide once I start one or finish one. #ChroniclesofNarnia #fantasy #tbr

Three Dark Crowns | Kendare Blake
post image

Three Dark Crowns is on my fall/winter TBR it sounds like the most perfect read for darker colder days. Have you guys read this book, if so what are your thoughts? #threedarkcriwns #fantasy #yafantasy #ya #kendareblake #falltbr #tbr

swishandflick Overall I liked it! Started a bit slow for my taste, but had a great ending that makes me want to read the sequel 👌🏽 7y
TaylorMay I totally agree with @swishandflick they throw a lot of names at you right off the bat but once you get in it really is great. The ending is insane and I cannot wait till the sequel comes out later this month 7y
Aqaa This is one that I really wanna read, but I'm worried if there's a lot of politics contained in it, which I've found commonly is these kind of books 7y

Hamilton: The Revolution | Lin-Manuel Miranda, Jeremy McCarter

"I'm not throwing away my shot!"

My love for Hamilton may never go away. It's become one of things those things that turn my bad days into good days. Also so many references are now Hamilton and I won't apologize for it.

Who else is a fan? What's your favorite song? #hamilton #hamiltonthemusical #linmanuelmiranda

The Catcher in the Rye | J. D. Salinger
post image

Just a small stack of J.D. Salinger. I enjoyed The Catcher in the Rye when I read it many moons ago, but I haven't read the short stories yet that Salinger wrote so I am excited to read those one of these days. #classics #shortstories #literaryfiction #salinger #jdsalinger

GlassAsDiamonds Just finished Stalking Jack the Ripper for my "person on the cover".... let me know what you think! (I'm massively on the fence about it!!). 7y
captivatedbywords I really enjoyed it, the only complaint I have about it was I wanted more of Jack the Ripper like maybe a chapter or two in his perspective or something. 7y

I just started this series a few months ago and I am so in love!

TheWordJar Me too! I just picked up 3 and 4 at the library today. Have you been watching the Netflix series, too? ❤️❤️ 7y
captivatedbywords @TheWordJar I have only watched the first two episodes so far, I'm really enjoying it! I figure each time I finish a book, I will watch an episode. 7y
TheWordJar That's what I'm doing too! I was glad to hear they are doing another season to finish up the series. All of the actors are perfect! 7y

I spent my life folded between the pages of books.
In the absence of human relationships I formed bonds with paper characters.

Fun, hilarious and one epic adventure. It is classic Rick Riordan and I cannot wait for the sequel to come out this October!
