I hope you enjoy A Conjuring of Light, Lieke. I'm also planning to read it soon so I'm looking forward to seeing what you think.

[Lieke]

Thanks! I'm looking forward to continue the series, the book is a lot thicker then book 1 and 2 :)

[Angela]

Enjoy Definitely Dead. Have a great month Lieke.

[Lieke]

Thank you Angela! :)

[Lauren]

Hope you have a good month, Lieke!

[Lieke]

Thanks Lauren! :)

Have a great reading month, Lieke. I've read the first two books in V.E. Schwab's Shades of Magic trilogy. I need to make time for reading the last book.

[Lieke]

Thank you Veronica! I have seen some good reviews about the book so I'm looking forward to reading it.

First book of the month is done Het domein van de Limbreth by Megan Lindholm (Robin Hobb). Only one more book left in the series, and it is getting better with each book Hopefully that will continue. This book revealed a bit more about Ki's past.

[Lieke]

I finished the book I read in bed An Offer You Can't Refuse by Jill Mansell. Not my favorite by her, the relationship between the main character and her love interest Didn't feel real. I did like the side characters and their relationships a lot so I still gave it 3 stars.

[Lieke]

Last week I finished:
Definitely Dead by Charlaine Harris
Another fun book in the series but book 4 and 5 where my favorites until now. I liked to learn more about Quinn, but I want to read more about Sam.
I don't have book 7 so not sure if I will continue this series this year.

Makkelijk leven by Herman Koch
A free thin book that started good, but I didn't like the end.

Yesterday I finished A Conjuring of Light by V.E. Schwab, the third and last book in the series. I liked it a lot and thought is was a good end to the series, but there are still a lot of opportunities for new series in this world.

[Lieke]

Today I read Afrekening (Reckoning, Sweep #13) by Cate Tiernan.
I started reading this series many years ago, but never finished it. They are easy but fun books.

[Lieke]

And book 14 in the Sweep series Lotsbestemming I read today. Only one book left in the series.

[Lieke]

Today I finished reading book 15 in the Sweep series Nachtkind. With this book I finished a series, finished my GR challenge (not sure if I will put a new number in or just will continue to read) and I finished a challenge for myself: to read at least 50 books that I already owned before 2017.
I'm feeling very good now ;) :)

[Melissa]

I started the Sweep series years ago and never finished it either. At this point I'll probably have to just start over.

[Lieke]

I just continued and hoped it would come back, there was a bit of repetition in the books so it did come back a little bit.
But they are so easy to read I might reread the first 12 books later this year.

[Lieke]

Yesterday I finished reading Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are? by Frans de Waal. A very interesting non-fiction book, about how our knowledge about animals has changed and especially how the thinking within science has changed.

[Lieke]

This weekend I reread The Trouble With Valentine's Day by Rachel Gibson, I needed something easy and fun to read :)
