I'm very excited by this pick :D

YAY!"
I'm very excited by this pick :D
I've had a very slow week for reading and I finally finished
...I ended up really liking this after it took me a while to get into it but I think the slow build was necessary to the story and the characters. Very unique story with a cast of colourful and interesting characters. I will definitely be continuing on with the series.

The next book I picked out is
and I was really hoping to read this one soon, since the next book comes out in May ... woohoo!! My brother would be happy because he really needs to discuss the book with me, as he has read it already.



YAY!


I was hoping to finish this one in January, but ran out of time. I won't have time to read it this month, but I'm hoping to in March!

i absolutely love the Lunar Chronicles and Scarlet is my favourite one.
I hope you enjoy your reads!

Glad to know it picks up Sylvia. I think I started this one once and didn't finish because of the slow start.

Too bad you didn't enjoy Uprooted. It was very wordy, and the names were brainteasers, when I read it; so I found the audiobook on my library app to help me out. I am such a cheater, I know ;)
Hope you enjoy Lady Midnight. It brought me back in favor with Clare.

You just have to push through it and once you do it keeps you invested. Hope you re-visit it one day :D

I found it too painful to keep reading Uprooted. If a book doesn't get me in at least the first 30% then I give up. There are just too many books to get through that I desperately want to read.
I'm glad Lady Midnight did that for you :D

If the book isn't rubbing me the wrong way, but just slow or kibd of annoying, I will track on. I must like misery..ha. I just have to know what happens sometimes. I did that with Shadow Fall Series, but luckily I enjoyed the spin off. I am doing that now with The Wolves of Mercy Falls series. I just want to know what happens in this series, but without all the overdone infatuation. lol

I couldn't even get into Shiver and I tried a couple of times but it was just not for me...you are braver than me, that's for sure.

I will give book 3 a go when it pops out of my book jar, but if it is another painful one, I am going to google how it ends..lol.

I don't know if Netflix is ever going to get it. I had to finally get the first season from the library and then I got them at the used book/blu ray, everything store.
Well, I had to order the second volume of season 1 from Amazon. They only had the first part and season 2 at the used book store. I'm waiting for season 3, OMG!

Season 1 is currently on Netflix and before Season 3 starts on the SoHo channel on Foxtel (cable in Australia) they will most likely add Season 2 to Netflix.

I don't know why ours doesn't get it. Guess it's like Amazon US or Amazon UK. You have Netflix for different places and our other main station Starz gets it so you have to subscribe to that.
I'm glad your enjoying Lady Midnight. :-) Eeep! ❤

There probably why ... just like we don't get everything either.
I've had hardly anytime for reading but am up to chapter 12 and it's a steady read so far. Want to keep reading but life gets in the way lol

My next pick out of the jar is
...I'm a bit apprehensive only because of how much QoS disappointed me. We shall see.



The romance is REALLY good in EoS too :D

Yeah, not long for the release of the next book...can't wait! I hope EoS is not a dud either.

Oh, I read The Assassin's Blade first so I hope I remember the characters. As for the romance, we shall see...I was not convinced of Aelin's new love for what's his name lol see that's how much I care for him.

I won an ARC of Throne of Glass back in the day, read it, loved it but haven't continued with the series, do you think it's worth it? (I think book 2 is in my book jar actually!)


The second book is actually my favorite book of the series, so definitely try it!
And I actually REALLY like the Assassin's Blade, which is a bind of of prequel novellas. You learn SO MUCH about Caleana's past in this one!
