Her next book,
, is amazing!!
So I can't count this one
because I read book 1
for this challenge, lol. However, Book 2 of this trilogy was so good, and I cannot wait to get book 3. Lada as a main character is not my favorite, but her brother Radu! Oh, how I love him.

Book 5 is done!
(TBR)4 stars. I loved the bisexual rep and the latinx representation, and the mythology of Los Lagos and the brujas and brujos. The MC, Alex, was a little much at times (and definitely deserved being called out for being whiney and spoiled), but overall it was a lot of fun and a really quick read.

Updating post #15I finished with
which good if not a bit confusing and
it bored me a bit so I would probably peruse the following books.
challenge completed ... early for a change!book 6
This is historical fiction which is not a favored genre of mine. It was on my TBR because it came highly recommended by my school's librarian. I was avoiding it because I wasn't in the mood for a depressing holocaust tale. I should have read it sooner because I loved it.
It had great characters and a great mystery that unfolded in delightful pieces. There was a part of the book where I thought the book would end, but I still had 20% left to read. What came after was surprising and delightful and sad in a way too. I definitely recommend it.
Completed book 6! Earlier than I expected!
(TBR/owned)(adult/NA)4 stars. This little gem surprised me a whole bunch. Think a better executed Of Fire and Stars but with dragons! F/F romance, although it was very slow burn in a will-they-won't-they way, with lots of intrigue and ballgowns.

I'm glad you enjoyed this book. I thought it was good as well. But then again, I do love historical fiction :)
I finished the last book of this challenge, plus book one of Round 2. I mean I still have a whole nother month left, so might as well do two right?!
- both are from the Mara Dyer trilogy that I read the first book, oh, 2 or so years ago.Updated post #6
Finished book #2 for Round 2
- This has been on my TBR pile for quite some time. I just finally found this illustrated edition that I thought was perty. So I bought it and gave it a go, and was not disappointed. I LOVED this book. I cannot wait to get the rest of this series and read them all at once! Updated post #6

I had started this series but didn’t continue it. It does have great world-building, but I’m not crazy about the main character and I am just over love triangles. It was just an okay read for me, but I imagine others would like it it more.
