Laura's 2020 Personal Reading Challenge

[Laura ☾]

Aww fair enough!

[Laura ☾]

Finished - I'm really sad this series is currently on hold :(

[Teodora]

So you really liked it after all!

[Laura ☾]

I did! surprisingl enough - NOW I WANT MORE

[Teodora]

Obviously haha

[Brittany]

wow Laura, you devoured those!! Have you read the other series by IA?

[Laura ☾]

I’ve read the Innkeeper chronicles!

How about you?

I’m tempted to go for Hidden Legacy at some point too

[Brittany]

Ive read Innkeeper, keep meaning to read HL and Edge. I've heard good things about all of their books though. Even with some of the awful covers

Oh yeah some of the covers are truly awful 😂

[Laura ☾]

I finished and I absolutely loved it!

[Brittany]

Looks like an interesting read, glad you loved it! What level of sci-fi is it? I am very particular with my science fiction reads, never been a fave genre for me.

I'm not a big fan of sci-fi - i'd say it's mostly fantasy with a few sci-fi elements!

[Brittany]

Perfect, I'll add it to the tbr then! Thanks Laura

[Kayleigh {K-Books}, YA Fantasy Fan]

I have that one on my TBR. I definitely need to read it soon.

[Laura ☾]

Finished my re-read of the Nevernight Cycle - and finally continued Outlander with Drums of Autumn!

[Brittany]

Awesome! I still need to read all of that

[Kayleigh {K-Books}, YA Fantasy Fan]

I started Outlander but I couldn't get into it. Such a shame as I absolutely love the show.

[Laura ☾]

Yeah i go through phases 😂 I just feel like the books could be half the length if you remove all the unnecessary descriptions

[Elena]

@Kay I'm also reading the Outlander series :) currently on book 2 and it's great!

[Laura ☾]

Trying to still finish some series! So far I've only got the Stalking Jack the Ripper series and Outlander where there's books out and I haven't finished them. Outlander I definitely need a break from though!

[Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover]

I hope you have better luck with Stalking Jack the Ripper than I did! 😅

[Elena]

@Laura I feel you! I also decided to take a break from Outlander. It's good but very intense.

So far it’s not going great hahahah

Honestly though the fifth book was pure filler

[Laura ☾]

Ok I finished Capturing the Devil and Boy was that a mess!

[Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover]

OMG right?!?! This whole series was just mediocre. Literally the only thing I liked about this was the autopsies. I'm a science girl myself, so that was really interesting to me.

[Brittany]

Thank you for solidifying my choice to avoid the rest

[Laura ☾]

Yes! Audrey Rose annoyed me so much throughout

[Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover]

Me too! Thomas also at first I didn't like, but I came around to him by the end. Not Audrey Rose though lol

[Laura ☾]

Yeah same!

[Laura ☾]

finally got around to ! It was okay but I'm annoyed with the love triangle aspect already hahah

[Brittany]

The love triangle thing last so little time and isnt a true one. Series does get a lot better in my opinion.

[Laura ☾]

Finished and it's still going strong with that love triangle haha

[Brittany]

You are almost out of the love triangle. I think it is book 3.

[Laura ☾]

Yes I finished book 3 and we’re out 😂 although mercy is still being stubborn

[Brittany]

She is but I guess I always kind of understood her stubborn and everything so it never bothered me.
Also I love Adam. He is one of my absolute favourite alphas.

[Laura ☾]

I get ya! And yeah he’s great!

[Gord]

It took me to the end of book three to get hooked on the series. Now I am a massive fan of the series.

[Laura ☾]

Oh I just started the sixth book and yup they've definitely grown on me! haha

I think same around the beginning of book 4 was when I got hooked

[Brittany]

Are you reading Alpha and Omega as well Laura?

Also wow! You are just flying through the books

[Laura ☾]

I think I will do after mercy!

Well they’re not long and I’m on leave from work (took a break over Christmas). 😂

[Brittany]

In my opinion they are better read together in the author's reading order. Just 'cause there is some overlap time line wise in a few books. Also if you are reading them do not skip the prequel novella it is super necessary.

Yay for breaks!

[Laura ☾]

Makes sense! But I have the mercy books already so I think I’ll go against the chronological order and just get those out of the way first 😂

[Brittany]

hahah fair! There's a couple little spoilers across the two when read out of order but its totally doable

[Laura ☾]

That doesn't really bother me! :)
