Ninth House | Leigh Bardugo
post image
Pickpick

I haven‘t stayed up late to finish a book in ages but this one was so worth the extra cups of coffee consumed during work this morning. Ninth House is the perfect October read to bring in the spookiness of Halloween! Leigh really brought New Haven and Yale to life in a new and incredible way and created such amazing characters to compliment such a strange and wonderful world. 5/5🌟

After binging Downton Abbey for the first time & then going to see the movie I was so excited to hear there were books! This book didn‘t disappoint in giving a more in depth view to the real family who lived in the castle. The only thing I wish was different was a little bit more information on the lives of the servants downstairs. All in all it was really good & gave a better view into the life of the Carnarvon‘s. 4/5🌟

Getting to know a different side of Hopper before he returns to Hawkins & before all the crazy of the Upside Down begins was incredible. Hopper holds a special place in my heart & the author does a really good job of keeping true to Hoppers character & who he is as a cop & person. The murder mystery was well done & kept up suspense & intrigue through the entire book! 4/5🌟

I don‘t know why it took me so long to read this book because it lived up to all the amazing things I‘ve heard about it! I‘m so glad that I found all three books at my library because I can‘t wait a second more to start the second book. 5/5🌟

This sequel to Marlo was just as cute (if not cuter) than the first book! Marlo is back but this time with dinosaurs adventuring in a new world of Marlo‘s making. Had its own version of I Spy to find Marlo‘s friends hidden on each scene thats beautifully created. 5/5🌟

Bailedbailed

I really tried to like this but 50 pages in and I couldn‘t do it. I don‘t know if its because I‘m not in the right mood for this kind of book (even though I JUST finished a murder mystery before picking this book up) or because of the writing or plot. But either way, it hurts my heart to DNF this one but I fear I may push myself into another reading slump if I try to force myself to continue.... 🙈

MelissaSue81 I honestly couldn‘t understand this book. I slogged through it but I still don‘t think I know what happened. 5y
Alfoster Agree! I bailed too @MelissaSue81🤪 5y
TrishB I bailed too! 5y
Sapphire I listened on audio and really wanted to bail the entire middle third. It didn't start to redeem it self till the very end. Overall I am glad I finished because the twist was interesting, but it was a bit of a tortured telling. Which kind of fits I guess if the author wanted the readers to have a taste of what the characters go through. 5y

Another amazing story to continue Kendras journey. Have to admit that I sort of saw the ending coming, but there was one plot twist at the end that sent me reeling! I honestly never want this series to end, its so incredibly detailed and twisty that it makes it so enjoyable. I need the next book ASAP! 5/5🌟

This was amazing from start to finish! It brings books to life in a new way that you can immediately connect to and fall in love with this incredible world Rogerson created and her characters were so well written as well. I felt and immediate connection to Elisabeth and how she loves and respects books and libraries. And not to mention there are warrior librarians in this one! 5/5🌟

My very loved copy of this book has been my companion the last few days as I tried to break my impossibly long block.

Its certainly been a whirlwind week! I had applied to work at my library in September and didn‘t get the job, but then last week I got a phone call asking if I was still interested in the position & scheduled an interview for this Monday. Well, I just got the call back less than 24 hours after & they offered me the position!! I am on cloud nine right now that I get to have my dream job & had to share the news with my fellow booklovers right away!!

Is it horrible to say I liked the TV show better? I know its a rare instance when you think the movie/show is better than the actual book, but in this case it happened. I‘m not saying the comics were bad but there didn‘t seem like a lot of questions were answered; especially in the first volume. But its a really creative idea and the art was great so I‘m looking forward to how the story continues in vol 3. Vol 1: 3/5🌟 Vol 2: 4/5🌟

TheLibrarian I really enjoyed the show but haven't started the comics yet. 5y
cobwebmoth I agree. The comics are decent, but I feel like the show is more enjoyable. 5y
ofclumsywords @cobwebmoth I‘m so relieved!! I thought I was one of the only with the unpopular opinion, I‘ve heard nothing but good things about the comics 5y
ofclumsywords @TheLibrarian the show was absolutely amazing and it went into so much more depth with the character backgrounds! I can‘t wait for season two. 5y

I loved everything in this that involved books but the romance? Not so much. I found myself really relating to Nina in the beginning and found her inspiring as she took her leap of faith and left everything that was comfortable and easy behind. Then the romance came in and I found myself getting more and more disinterested. All in all give it a 3/5 🌟

hermyknee I got disinterested as soon as the romance(s) started, too! She acts like such an idiot! And that incident with the train guy and the wounded goat and the farm guy and all the talking when there‘s a hurt baby goat?! Ahhhh I wanted to slap her!! 5y
ofclumsywords @hermyknee yes exactly! I mean I have to admit that I liked Lennox better than the train guy but the last quarter of the book was all about their lack of relationship and sleeping together. There were no books involved! The whole reason I read it was for the books!! 5y

An amazing companion to Moonlight Over Paris which tied up loose ends for another character and brought her the answers she so desperately wanted. Daisy‘s journey was another well written one and getting to know her better was well worth making this ebook an impulse buy. I was grinning from ear to ear during many parts of this book! 4/5🌟

This book was my Everest and my most anticipated book of the year and it did not disappoint at all. It took me a hot second to finish but with how many details and characters that were in this book it made reading it over the span of two months (while also battling a reading slump) worth it! 5/5🌟

hermyknee I want to read this one so badly! I don‘t have it and I‘m wondering if I should get it in hardcover or kindle. It‘ll be easier for me to travel with it on my kindle but what if it‘s so good I want the hardcover forever?! Aahhh decisions, decisions... 5y
ofclumsywords @hermyknee I actually might get it in paperback AND ebook as well as keep my hardcover copy 🤣 the hardcover is soo heavy but I couldn‘t wait another year before the paperback came out to read it/buy it. My wrist was hurting the entire time so heads up on that but it is such an incredible book it was worth the pain 🤣🤣 5y
