Finished last night. Didn't love it. Didn't hate it either, but... I dunno. There were certain things about the book I liked. Kat and Po weren't on the list haha. In the end, it wasn't awful, but finishing it felt more like a chore than a hobby.

Next I'll probably try but I'm not fully committed yet, so I may pull a switcheroo at the last minute.

[Ashley Marie]

Finished my reread of and reread in one sitting yesterday :) 5 stars for both, god I love them.

I liked the winter book that they released awhile back. I may get this one too.

[Jenny]

I finished , and I loved it! Great end to a fun series!

Still reading (alright so far, at least there is a lot of action in these!) and started which is really interesting, but kind of slow moving at this point. I'm hoping it picks up.

I definitely thought it was worth reading!

[Elora]

It's been awhile since I've updated here, so here goes:

I read and loved it! In highschool, I consumed mysteries, but as I've gotten older, it's been harder for me to read them cuz I can usually pick out 'who done it' in the first few chapters. That was not the case with this book. I was constantly going back and forth and around in circles with who I suspected.

Since I had a positive mystery experience, I picked up another one. This time it was . Unfortunately I had that one pegged by the second chapter. I finished the book hoping that there would be a huge twist, but no dice.

I read and absolutely adored it. I spent much of the time laughing. :)

wasn't too bad. The ending got weird for me...one of the characters acted completely out of character and went against everything she had done during the book, but it was still a fun read. Bonus: a nice twist on a fairy tale.

Finally, I picked up The first 20 pages were really hard for me to get into (talk about a few weeks), but once I got to page 22, I consumed the book til the end. I LOVED Rossi's other series (Under the Never Sky) and this one has a fantastic start.

[Ashley Marie]

I tried and didn't have any patience for it, even with the fairy-tale twist. I probably just read it wrong ;)

Should be finishing up today -- it's not a terrible book, but at this point all I can see are the inconsistencies and comparisons. Julian and Maven are my favorite characters. We'll see if the end changes any of that.

[Jenny]

I finally finished and it was FASCINATING!! Especially when it described in detail how Holmes was finally found out! What an egotistical sadist he was! Also, I never realized how much of America was shaped by that fair, especially in architecture. Was an excellent read!

[Jenny]

I'm sorry some of you don't seem to be liking :(

I am enjoying it Jenny! I just want to punch Sophie sometimes :) The audiobook narrator is really good :)

[Becky]

Read a couple a quick, light romances that I was not impressed by. Need to get back to Apollo and The School of Good and Evil. (Really wish the GR app would let me put up the links.)

[Becky]

Btw, Jenny, your library looks awesome.

omgggg that's one of my favorite books. So in love with the way Larson writes. I read Dead Wake: The Last Crossing of the Lusitania earlier this year and loved it too, now I just need to read Thunderstruck and In the Garden of Beasts: Love, Terror, and an American Family in Hitler's Berlin

[Elora]

Currently reading
It's fast-paced and I'm loving it!

Sounds interesting. Let me know your final thoughts please :)

[Heidi]

I am still reading at a pokey level so am on the same books as last time I posted probably. Still listening to Strings
The School for Good and Evil and reading A Spy in the House

[Lucinda]

This magical-realism story was unpredictable and intriguing, a young adult book written in a literary vein while still maintaining the feel of YA genre. I like this new trend where the author doesn't "dumb" down the language.

Lucinda that was one of our recent monthly reads. I hope to grab the free audiobook when it is offered by YA Sync soon so I listen to it.

I read In the Garden of Beasts, and I liked that one even more than Devil in the White City! Definitely check it out, its a fantastic read!

[Ashley Marie]

Jenny wrote: "Ashley *Hufflepuff Kitten* wrote: "Jenny wrote: "I finally finished and it was FASCINATING..."

I remember attempting Garden of Beasts about a year ago in print format, but I'm gonna pick up the audio one of these days because Scott Brick is such an excellent narrator.

[Becky]

I'm at a slow poke pace, too, Heidi. Still on the School for Good and Evil.

I finished. I went into it thinking it was a standalone (since there were no markings on the cover indicating otherwise), but found out it was a duology...and I'll be reading the sequel.
It was pretty good. It was crazy fast-paced and the plot was pretty good, too. There were a lot of revelations at the end that took some time for me to wrap my head around. It was a thriller kindof book--more action than mystery, but I was never bored. It's definitely not a relaxing book. ;)

[Ashley Marie]

Loving my reread of To Kill a Mockingbird. I don't think I'll wait another 10+ years to reread it next time!

[Heidi]

Thanks for the update Elora!

p.s. I am not sure about this new Goodreads front page. My groups aren't there anymore!

[Elora]

I'm totally with you on that, Heidi. I actually felt sad when I logged in this morning. :(

[Donna (BookDragonGirl)]

This slow pace seems to be going around. I feel like I've just barely been chipping away at my books lately. It's not the books, because I like what I'm reading, it's just me.

I agree about the new Goodreads homepage Heidi! I feel so lost!! :(

Agreed Donna!

[Jenny]

I've decided I'm going to pick an author each month to try and get caught up on. For August I've decided on Cassandra Clare.

I'm going to try to reread the following :


And then finally read

Aww :) The Little House books <3

I had been wondering what this book would be like-so glad to hear you liked it! I definitely want to read it! Is it written like a script?

Me, too!

Or, me either. (Me neither?) anyway, having trouble with the change. :)

[Dixie]

I have been going to a new library and they had the BEST display of YA books; they were the nominees for the Georgia Peach Award -anyway, so far I have read I Am Princess X and am reading , which I love so far. It feels like stumbling on a treasure chest; all the books look so good!! :)

[Ashley Marie]

Heidi (Yup. Still here.) wrote: "Thanks for the update Elora!

Agreed! I can't stand it, it feels extremely cluttered and claustrophobic. Discussions comes up under the Community drop-down and it puts you right back at all your group discussions though ;)

I have looked at I'll Meet You there a new times Dixie - please update me when you are done if it is a good reads :)

[Heidi]

Yay for new libraries! I am spoiled with two good libraries in my town and really appreciate them both!

p.s. So glad I am not alone on my thoughts in the new GR homepage. I love seeing my groups when I log in and feel lost without them there.

Yeah I found my groups but I no longer see what threads have new posts unless I click on the groups themselves.

[Heidi]

Joan it is your pick for September's read https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... :)

[*b*l*u*e*m*o*o*n*]

just saw the new update they did on Goodreads. Had such a hard time looking for my groups. WORST UPDATE EVER!

Anyways, Just finished...


I really enjoyed it. I hated the first half of it, but when all the revelations started to unveil, I started enjoying it.

[Jenny]

I hate the new update, too!

[Jenny]

I finished my reread of --so good!! Now I'm starting my reread of !!

Also finished and it was an okay read. I did like it, but it wasn't what I was expecting--it really dragged on in certain spots, but at the same time, it was strangely addictive.

Started really good so far!

[Jenny]

Well, I think I will change my author this month, then, and wait to read Cassandra Clare in December, after that book is out :)

So I'm changing my August author to Libba Bray! The books I'm hoping to read by her:



The Diviners would be a reread :) Excited, I love this author!

Dixie, yes. It is the play script.

[Ashley Marie]

Finished Republic of Thieves on Saturday and Cursed Child last night, now onward to In Cold Blood for my audio at work.

We had a mini-con at the library on Saturday and I got to meet Cinda Williams Chima, Lisa Maxwell and Mindy McGinnis -- I've started reading Lisa's Sweet Unrest and now I'm dying to read Mindy's Not a Drop to Drink :D :D I also have the first book/s in each of Cinda's series, The Warrior Heir and The Demon King yet to read as well.

[Brigid ✩]

Hey guys, sorry I haven't been around much lately! July was a surprisingly busy month for me, and I haven't gotten to read much. :( I'm STILL working on:



But hopefully I'll be able to finish them both up soon.
