I finished
I liked the first one a little better, but still an entertaining read.
I finished
which was really cute. I'd def recommend for a summer read.
Also finished
another cute read, although not that believable. But fun for what it was.
I'm reading
which I'm really liking , and
which is just hilarious!

I finished Five Feet Apart, which I loved! I was also glad that it didn't end the way I thought it would. Now reading Vicious by V.E. Schwab because she's going to be at Yallwest this year and I wanted to read more of her books. And also going back to reading A Monster Calls since I will be teaching it in my support classes.
Glad to see so much reading going on! As for me, alas I have not read anything in about a month. My schedule is so hectic that when I do have some "free" time it's easier to put on Netflix :) I'm really hoping to get out of my reading funk this year! (sooner rather than later would be nice)

Ah, this is a bummer! I understand, I went through a mini slump in February, but my reading seems to be bouncing back!

I’m in a bit of a slump as well, David. And also because I’ve been so busy. If I read I pretty much fall asleep a chapter or two later. 😝

I finished
yesterday, and I thought it was really good! I love Japanese culture. Throw in some magic and Demons, and I'm hooked. :) I'm finally reading
so I can read King of Scars! I read Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom already and adore them, but wanted to read the others assuming I would get some spoilers. :)
Wise choice, Sarah. There are huge spoilers in King of Scars. Also, the characters won’t mean as much if you don’t know their backstories. ☺️
I still need to do my reread of Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom! I keep forgetting to get them off of my shelves (they're kinda buried right now)...
Oh no, Jenny! But if they’re buried in books, that’s kinda awesome. ☺️Hope you can get to them soon.

They are buried in books :)
The beginning of the year, I rearranged my shelves. I have 2 large shelves that are deep enough to double stack. In the past, the back has TBR books and I put my pretty books and series in the front, most of them the ones I've read.
Well, I realized that I often forgot what books I even had in the back. What I owned, and then if I did remember, finding them was a disaster! So I put my books I've read in the back, and my TBR books in the front. They don't look as pretty, but its more practical. I do have a few shelves that I dedicate to certain authors, so I left those alone though. But most of the books I look at on my shelves right now I haven't read. Great motivation for me!

I am rereading Ruin and Rising and absolutely loving it! my second time going through this series. the Audiobook is great. I am also reading an arc... which has already come out 🤦🏻♀️ The Manic Pixie Dream Boy Improvement Project.
Wow, Jenny! That’s a ton of space, although probably never enough. 😂Sounds like a good organization system for remembering what books you need to read next! I’m always in a constant state of forgetting. 😜

I'm liking it so far, except for the times I need to find a specific book that's buried in the stacks LOL!

Finished A Monster Calls. And I could. Not. Stop. Crying. Ugh! Utterly wrecked! Brought back so much pain and remembrance for me about when my grandma died from cancer. It’s going to be like teaching Where the Red Fern Grows, I’m going to need to make sure I have tissues. Anyway, still reading Vicious and plan on starting On the Come-Up.

I LOVE the Girl of Fire and Thorns trilogy. I'd like to reread it sometime. I was looking at some of my books on my shelves that I haven't read in a long time, I'm due for some rereads!
