Whoo hoo! After listening to the first one, I had to replay the last few paragraphs because I had a funny feeling something was up and now I get to find out! Is he really having an affair with her mom?

Gallant | V E Schwab

I'm reading the Last House on Needless Street and one of the characters is Olivia. And I can't keep thinking about Gallant audiobook and how he says Olivia. So sing songy and creepy!

It's my second time through the series and I still love Alucard the best!

TieDyeDude I just started this for the first time. I was surprised to realize it's been almost 3 years since I read A Darker Shade. I had to find a synopsis online to refresh my memory. 7mo
emz711 @TieDyeDude it's so fun. And then the next round of what I guess will be a trilogy is really good too 7mo

A big ol' yes to these 2 chunks. Both were waiting for me at the library. Decided to go with Sera #2 instead of poppy #3. I'm going to end up reading them in a weird order but whatever. Loving these series

Loved it! Double twist at the end? Great. I don't normally like urban fantasy but I'm enjoying and can't wait for the acotar crossover.

I've been thinking about my favorite romantasy books now that I've gotten into it.
Here we go
1. Gothikana by runyx
2. Any of Jennifer Armentrout's book series
3. Sarah j Maas's ACOTAR and crescent City
4. Emily mcintre's never after series
5. Steffanie Holmes' nevermore bookshop series

blurb

Here we go! 800 pages and yet here I am already half way through on one day.

I wouldn't have done this series had I not heard about the cross over with acotar.

Do you ever have an author that you wanted to read their books and yet never have? Now I feel like I should just never read their books because otherwise I'll be disappointed if I start to read them and don't like them.

A happy little flop 😀

Decided I'm here for the blood and ash series and the flesh and fire series. Of course then I thought this book was in the flesh and fire series since.... It's literally what it's called but how silly of me to think that.

Jennifer Armentrout > Rebecca Yarros

ladym30 You are not alone. I thought the same!😊 7mo
emz711 @ladym30 I'm liking f&f series more so far 7mo
ladym30 @emz711 That is great! Enjoy! 7mo
emz711 @ladym30 did you see she announced the next one in f&f? And it's "born in blood and ash" 7mo
ladym30 @emz711 I did not, but I will definitely check into it. Thanks!🌻 7mo

AmandaBlaze @emz711 I read pretty quickly, but there are some that have been renewed several times. A lot of them are a backlog of when I had bronchitis and couldn't do anything, including reading. I'm all better now and ready to dive in. 8mo

vonnie862 Ooh that's a pretty cover! Read Where the Dark Stands Still. 8mo
Captivatedbybooks I vote exactly same as Vonnie862 🤣 8mo
RamsFan1963 I found The Atlas Complex pretty disappointing, so I'd read Where the Dark Stands Still first. 8mo
emz711 @vonnie862 @Captivatedbybooks judging books by their covers?! ... I do the same though 8mo
emz711 @RamsFan1963 I didn't listen. Doing Atlas complex so I can finish the trilogy. Yeah I've heard people don't like the end. I feel like it's such a different "magical" book. So cerebral kind of? 8mo

A Shadow in the Ember | Jennifer L. Armentrout

Starting a new book between the mess and nap time.
But I didn't realize that the Flesh and Fire series connects to the Blood and Ash series?
I didn't like blood and ash so much so should I try this one or not bother?

Omg when is the Fall of Ruin and Wrath next one coming out? I'm so ready

Meshell1313 Oh yeah! Prob in the fall! But I‘m the next Flesh and Fire book is coming in May! Love it! ❤️ 8mo
emz711 @Meshell1313 what's your favorite book of hers? 8mo
Meshell1313 I actually loved the Lux series! You should def check those out. I read all her books during the pandemic! Now I‘m hooked. 🤣 8mo

emz711 @Meshell1313 I get this weird feeling that fall of ruin and wrath are in the same universe? Even though nothing says that 8mo
emz711 @Meshell1313 I'm enjoying this one so far but they have a similar story to blood and ash and I don't know if that was intentional 8mo
emz711 @Meshell1313 oooo I really liked it! 8mo
Meshell1313 @emz711 ooh yay! And you are right about how many of her books cross over! It‘s great! Def check out Lux series when you get through these series‘! 8mo

The Giver | Lois Lowry

Yikes these are hard #wonderouswednesday @Eggs

1. Susanne Clark, Ariel Lawhon, Alan Bradley, Joanne Fluke
2. Favorite genre - magical realism
So therefore favorite book - tagged
Ok I can't pick one so...
Favorite genre - mystery
Favorite book - thirteenth tale.
Just a really well done, creepy mystery. That's my sweet spot
3. I'll go with Alan Bradley although I feel like I could say Jasper Fforde, Carlos Ruiz Zafon, Joanne Fluke.

Eggs Great choices! Thanks for playing 🙏🏻🙏🏻 9mo

Loving the footnotes! Such a surprise.
