Me too! I love seeing her writing development with every new release

Eileen wrote: "Woo hoo! I finished AESTHETICS with She Gets the Girl. Sylvs, you're in for a treat, especially if you're a fan of Cyrano de Bergerac. I really enjoyed it!"

Ooooh I'm excited! I loved The Lucky List so I'm sure I'll like She Gets the Girl a lot. I think I rated it between 4-5 stars

Eileen wrote: "Okay, cool! I know it begins in the summer, but it goes into school, but it seemed like one of those feel-good, easy reads. Time will tell, of course, but I do like the author."

All of Rachael's books are amazing! I still need to read She Gets the Girl though but it's high on my 2022 TBR

Beach read is like a book set during the summertime/has a beach scene in it e.g., The Lucky List, Sunkissed, Cool for the Summer but I think She Gets the Girl counts :)

Ooh yes please do! I wish I got around to places but I think I'll only get up to finishing tropes.

Eileen wrote: "Okay, for the TROPES category, I am reading the following and just need to do my reread of The Lightning-Struck Heart to finish, which is absolutely hysterical if like TJ Klune's type of humor (I d..."

Oooh good job! Under the Whispering Door was one of my favourite books of 2021 so I'm glad you liked it :) I'm working my way through tropes and am doing some reviews soon to post along with fresh new entries. I'm also reading If This Gets Out by Sophie Gonzales and Cale Dietrich and I'm really enjoying it so far even though I'm only 50 pages in. Hoping to finish it in the next few days.

Oooh nice! I wish we had more books in other languages

Eileen wrote: "I just completed the GENRE category with Mythos, by Stephen Fry. If you're a fan of the Greek Myths, this is a series worth checking out. He doesn't go into depth into any of the stories, but just ..."

Oooh that one's on my TBR

Oooh that's awesome! I really want to read more in other languages but sometimes it's hard to find copies in the library

I've heard so many good things about that book. I'm currently reading Only Mostly Devastated again. I highly recommend.

Eileen wrote: "I'm not sure yet. I'm on the page because it seems like people didn't like it nearly as much as the Infernal Devices, and I'm on the fence about whether I would like a story based on HP fan fiction..."

Ooh sounds good and I totally get it with the mortal instruments. There's a few things that are questionable to say the least... BUT I read Lady Midnight and can tell you it does get better.

Eileen wrote: "I ended up loving The Infernal Devices! That third book was wonderful and I was curious how she was going to handle the love triangle. For the time, I think she definitely made the right choice. It..."

Yay I'm glad you liked it! Are you going to read The Mortal Instruments next?

Eileen wrote: "Just double-checking since I'm noticing the same prompt being fulfilled by different books multiple times--are we or are we not allowed to read more than one book for the same prompt? Thanks! Just ..."

No worries and I've been noticing it too even though we've stated it from the start. There shouldn't be multiple uses of the same prompt. If you enter in a book under the same prompt then the 2 prompt points won't be added to your entry.

Oooh that's a good series! Hope you like it!

Yep, I can definitely recommend this one! And with this one, I just finished the DIVERSITY Category. :)"

Yay! Good job!!

Ooh nice! I still need to read that one. I'm hoping to finish off Cool for the Summer today and then read Burn Down Rise Up, Fence: Disarmed and To Kill a Kingdom before the month ends. Keep up the good work you two :)
