Part Two of my February finished reads. I loved Quiet. I had to do the audiobook, I couldn‘t handle reading it. Way too dry for me but the audio was great. I‘ve discovered the Sookie Stackhouse books. They‘re fun and addictive. I can‘t stop myself! Did a reread of ACOWAR on audio. I still didn‘t love it but I did appreciate it more the second time around. 📚😍

Part One of February reading:
I‘ve been slacking with my Litsy account but I have been reading all the things! Hoopla is my new favorite app. Audiobooks are wonderful. I‘ve been driving late at night and the cheesy romance on audio keep me awake and alert. 😉

This was a bookclub read and made for great conversation. I didn‘t like it. 😳 That was a new feeling. There were really interesting topics touched on in this book, hence the great conversations, but I wanted more. I just wanted more through this whole book but not in a good way. I was left frustrated and confused. 😞

This was my first John Green book. I get what the hype is about. He wrote a compelling story that had me wrapped up in knots. I‘m a fan.

Can I move to Scotland now? It sounds perfect in this book. I moved to a small rural community two years ago and this book brought back all the feels of that adventure. Bookshop on the Corner is my new pick for an easy, lighthearted read.

The chapter on lighting was worth the time spent reading. This is a cozy little read that had me wishing for foul weather and wool socks.
It‘s in between a pick and so-so for me. I went with the pick.

Intense and heartbreaking.
I had a hard time reading the hard copy, so I switched to audio and fell in love.

This was a total book dragon purchase. Look at that cover! Gorgeous. ❤️
Perfect quick read for my day. I needed something short and easy to digest after my Strange the Dreamer binge read. An Enchantment of Ravens fit the bill. I didn't love it but I did appreciate that it gave me some ACOTAR setting feels and some Wintersong romance feels.

❤️❤️❤️❤️
My heart swelled, floated, and then broke in the most beautiful way.
Book 2 doesn't have a release date...for shame!

My audiobook for this week. I have a feeling I'm going to pick up the hardcover and binge read this weekend.

I started with the audiobook. Beautiful narration! I became so involved with the story I had to finish it up immediately. There was no waiting for my next commute. Luckily, I had just picked up a hardcover copy. When you're compelled to fall in love with flesh eating, man killing horses...that's some good writing.

I just love these books so much!

Look what arrived today!!!

My daughter picked it up for herself based on the cover but I went ahead and did a preread, since it was in YA section of the library. I ended up really enjoying it. The world building was quick but clear. The brother / sister relationship is sweet. I loved Jonathan's growth during the story and think my daughter and I can can talk about some real big kid stuff after she reads this. ❤️📚

I picked this up because of the cover. 😁 It was the thinnest book in my TBR stack today, which bumped it to the top. I had no expectations and ended up really enjoying this little mystery.

Ripped out my heart. Well done, Victoria.

It was my bath time read. Very easy to digest, with easy stop and start points, until the last 3/4 of the book. Couldn't put it down even for a snack break.

I finished this up yesterday. I was confused and uncomfortable and really just not sure if I had enjoyed the read. Some sleep and time to marinate with all that happened to the beautiful, strange, and flawed characters was all I needed. I love it now. 😁 I'm excited to talk it over with book club.

I loved this book. I picked it up to preread for my daughter's TBR pile, but it was clear from the start it wasn't a good fit for a ten year old. I'm sold on this series and will be anxiously awaiting the sequel.
I also feel like I need to add that I felt like a dork while loving this book. I'm all about fantasy books but there's something about this one that is just off and nerdy in a weird way, but its weirdness made it endearing for me.

This is a beautiful cover! Sorry for the poor picture.
I was all about this book...and then the ending. I can't say anymore than that without spoilers.
Have you read it? I need to talk feels.

Super okay book. 🤓

It was a good read. It was hard for me to get into at the beginning. I found myself complaining to my husband about the handful of disasters Fallon finds herself in early on. Once we got past that, it was good for me. 😊 Lots of action and suspense towards the end.
I'll be buying a copy of this book and adding it to my collection.

The sequel to Rebel of the Sands did not disappoint. I need to the next book yesterday.
There are a lot of characters in this story and keeping them strait is a bit of a challenge. I'm sure I'll need to reread the first two when the third comes out. Betrayal, magic, light romance, and bad ass lovable / love to hate characters. This series is a good time.

Sarah J. Maas is incredibly sweet. I'm pretty sure she was glowing like a member of the Dawn Court. I fangirled hard and it was totally worth it.
After a 12 hour drive with the best road trip book Bestie @OceanCityMama I'm back in California and reading. We made it up to chapter 24 while still in Oregon and perfectly enough, we made it to about that on the audiobook version we listened to during the drive. ❤️

Drove over 700 miles to get here with my book Bestie @OceanCityMama Totally worth it. Off to the book cave to binge. #MissiontoMaas #ReadforRhys

#MissionToMaas preparations have begun!!!! I'm taking a mommy vacation with my threadsister @OceanCityMama to see Queen Maas and get a copy of ACOWAR!
When YA reading moms represent their fandom. All the iron on glitter.

I picked this up after loving the time traveling I experienced reading Passenger. Not as much time travel in this book as I was hoping for but I still enjoyed the read. I liked where this book left off and I don't feel compelled to read the sequel at this time.

Just finished my reread in preparation for the next release. I'm pumped! Bring it on, SJM...just don't kill anyone I love.

Not acceptable Amazon.

I bought this for myself last year as a birthday present. It has been a patient gift. This book was a quick read and fit into the flow of my TBR nicely. There's some heart string pulling but nothing that broke me, thank goodness. Light romance, bitchy villains, and an endearing flesh eating horse.

This was a book club pick. It was a well told story but not my genre. That's the beauty of book club and why I ❤️ mine. I would have never picked this on my own. I'm completely stressed out after binge reading it for book club BUT that's why it's a Pick. This book is so well written, it all felt real. It was impossible to put down.

I was shocked to see that Goodreads has this book as a 3.5! I'm in love. This book took me on a ride. I am wrecked. My heart is sore.

I picked this up a few months ago and DNF. So glad that I gave it another go. I ended up loving it. Looking forward to the sequel.

I was 1/4 ways into this book before I was vested. I'm so glad I stuck with it. Real life has been difficult lately and this story provided me with the perfect amount of mystery, magic and romance to allow for my escape. I cannot wait to get my hands on the next book.

I loved the setting and the premise of this book. Some parts were a little too rushed for my taste and there were a few times I almost put it down. I'm glad I stuck with it. It was a good read.

Mystery, historical fiction, and fantasy. This was a fun one!

Loved this book. It filled a Rick Riordan size hole in my book shaped heart.

Can I love hate this book? It didn't do what I wanted it to do and it broke my heart. It's going to be the book I think about while reading other books. ❤️ I read on Goodreads that there's a companion book out in 2018. It must live in my house once released. I need more Goblin King.

Just enough fantasy mixed into historical fiction. Such a good book.

This book. So much drama I'm still stressed out from reading it. It was heartbreaking and captivating. I need a break.

I stepped out of my YA Fantasy genre again for this book. I'm glad I did. It was quick and enjoyable. I do wish I would have held back and read this one in the summer at the beach. It would have made for the perfect pairing.

February reading goals. Currently reading The Great American Whatever, The Golem and the Jinni is my book club selection, and the rest of these lovelies are due back at the library in the next three weeks. Time to get some reading in! #readallthethings #bookdragon

While I loved the premise and the characters, there were parts in this book that were too gruesome for me to be able love this book. I have a weak stomach and a soft heart.

First off, look at what the library did to this cover. For shame. I'm glad I was able to borrow this book and also sad because I didn't get to enjoy the lovely cover.
This is a stand alone but I feel like there's more story coming, or maybe I'm hoping for more. Hoping hard. Fynn has a past and Bridey needs to work through it way more than she did in this book. Give me more! 🤓This read is right in between a pick and a so-so for me.

This was hard to read. I'm a mom and I just wanted to hug Angie and make it all better. Wang, too. Poor kid. The mother in this book is awful. The absent fathers are just as bad. This story packs a ton of drama in under 300 pages.

I read way past my bedtime again. I picked up this YA historical fiction book on a whim. It started slow and felt like a middle grade book until it suddenly was not. I was thinking about bailing but I hated one of the main characters so deeply that I couldn't put it down. I just wanted her to stop being awful. I got sucked in. It was unexpected and wonderful.

Wait, what? And just like that, it's over. I'm not thrilled with the conclusion to this series. It was a great world. It got a little weird there but it is a book I want my bookish friends to read.

I'm bummed that I am late to the Tearling party but so excited that I don't have to wait to read the conclusion. This second book in the Tearling trilogy was great. We learn more about Lily and the Red Queen, and this fantasy book gets a dystopian feel. I can't wait for reading time tonight so I can finish this series.

I'm in love. This book has all the things I love. Strong female protagonist, a band of brothers, a little bit of magic and mystery, and a super villain waiting to mess everything up. Picked this series up on cover love alone and I am not disappointed in the first book. Let's hope they're all this good.

This was an unusual and unexpected series. The characters are lovable and I'll remember them for some time. Ronan has his own room in the book boyfriend chamber of my heart. There were enough loose ends at the conclusion of this series that I don't feel satisfied. I could use a Raven Boys novella...or newsletter. I'd take a status update. Throw me a bone, Stiefvater.
