What are you reading 2021

[Elena]

@Lili the reason why I never read ARCs :D

Finished and the first part was average (for Sanderson) but the second part is just what I expected. Interesting, captivating, with all the twists I like (when I can't even guess what's going to happen). Actually I was surprised in the end and now considering starting the next book instead of other books I've planned to read.
I've also finished , love both series.
I'm still reading and yet again thinking of taking a break of this book as it goes really slow and I feel like not wanting to read it now. The previous books went really well but this one... I'm just struggling to go through.

I think I'm sliding into a bit of a funk currently. I have things I want to read but not the enthusiasm to read them. Work has been a bit stressful and one of the books I read this week dragged a bit so that probably added to this feeling. That being said here is what I read this week.

-3 Stars
I had some issues with this book that made it feel longer than it really was. That being said there are definitely elements of this series that I enjoy.

-3 Stars
The usual shenanigans from this series and it was what I needed

On the manga side of things I read:

[Brittany]

Lili good that you enjoyed it, waiting for the next book always sucks. I see that one is in the same world as another series of hers?


Elena, I cant remember exactly, where does Well of Ascension end? You wont be disappointed if you go on to read the last of the original trilogy.
How far into EoS are you? That one took me a longer time also.

[Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover]

It is, Brittany. This is a spin-off series of Crown of Shards. It takes place about 16 years later and follows a different character.

[Brittany]

Nice!

[Gord]

I started reading Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? Light Novels, Vol. 6 and I think I'm shaking my book funk. It was a bit of a slow start as things from the last book were addressed and new things set up but once things started popping off it's been an engaging read so far.

[Brittany]

Yay for shaking the funk

[Elena]

@Brittany (view spoiler)[Vyn and Elend got married, they're back to save the city, when the war is over they find the Well and the Mist almost kills Elend. So Vyn has to sacrifice his life (not to use the Well to save him) in order to complete the prophesy. But I believe they all've made a mistake in reading the prophesy and freed something which should not be freed. And... Elend survives and becomes a mistborn. That's when it ended. I think there is something going on about Elend and the thing from the Well :D Can't wait to learn how the story will end. So I'm thinking of starting the 3 book today. (hide spoiler)] And I'm a little over the half with EoS. Still too slow :(

[Amy]

I just finished which was so good. Now starting .

[Christine]

[Brittany]

Elena ahh!! That is where it ends! Love your thoughts.

Amy how have you enjoyed the Ravenspire series? Thats one I have meant to get to.

[Elena]

I've started the 3rd book of Mistborn series yesterday :D

[Brittany]

Awesome. I am looking forward to hearing what you think

So far it's a pretty easy read and has caught my attention. It seems like they are stand alone books so that makes me feel better about reading them out of order.

[Brittany]

Reading out of order is something I have rarely done and never intentionally. Glad you are enjoying it Amy

[Elena]

Finished series and it was good! Cute, sweet and so uplifting! (Thanks Brittany for the rec :D)
Reading and all are great! Actually a great month in manga selection.

I'm still reading and finally it becomes more interesting and maybe will go a bit faster.

I've also started and these are ok.

is the 3rd book in the series I didn't expect much of but turned out to be very addictive.

And finally one of my all-time favourites .

[Brittany]

I've only read the first Kamisama Kiss so far but I enjoyed that one too.
I think I know where you hit in EoS and it does get better from there.

Did you finish Hero of Ages?!

[Christine]

I finished my 15th book

[Elena]

@Brittany as for EoS (view spoiler)[It got better after Aelin and Rowan had sex on the beach :D I don't like reading such scenes so this one was tough for me. And I don't know why, I prefer other lines to the main one in this particular book. Especially Manon and Lorcan/Elide lines. (hide spoiler)].
I haven't finished Hero of Ages but really close now :D

[Marlow]

I just started Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson!

[Brittany]

Elena I get that!

I've finally made some progress with . I'm about 50% done with and things are crazy! I'm really enjoying it, but holy crap is it long. Lol. I'm hoping to finally finish it by next week though. (Hopefully 😅)

And yesterday the author sent me a copy of , which I started today. I love this series!

[Brittany]

Yay for getting books Lili! Enjoy



I finished enjoyed it a lot but wish the audio was better

[Christine]

[Brittany]

I finished reading it was amazing and I thought I owned the next one so I was going to jump straight into it but I don't so now I'm sad. I see a trip to the bookstore in my near future.

Starting

[Christine]

I finished my 18th book

[Elena]

I finished and it was perfect! I loved everything about this book but the best thing was that it kept me wonder what's next all the time! Every chapter ended with some kind of uncovered secret and it was amazing to finally learn how the whole magic system and world worked here. Sanderson is one of the best author when it comes to unique, detailed worlds and extremely interesting magic systems.

Currently I'm reading and it's still ok. Not too bad but also not very interesting.

[Brittany]

Elena, yes to everything you said about Hero of Ages!

[Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover]

I finally finished and I am not okay... and it's mostly because of the short story at the end 😂 No but I really liked this book. It took me a bit to really get into it, but I had no doubt I would end up enjoying it.

[Brittany]

Yay for finally finishing it Lili!!

[Gord]

With all the things going on at work this week I just haven't had much time to read. This week I completed the following:



Currently I'm working on and

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

[Christine]

I finished my 19th book

[Brittany]

Finished and while it wasn't my favourite of the series it was still a good listen!

Starting the audio for next

[Elena]

@Brittany I'm looking forward to your thoughts on Six of Crows.

Finished and it was so-so.

Reading which is not very interesting but ok to read in between some heavy stories (like Mistborn series) when you really need a break.

Started and it's an amazing romance! As expected of Penny Reid.

[Jo]

Finished . Will be starting next and I'm super excited as one of the comp titles was Moulin Rouge which is my absolute favourite film in the world!

[Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover]

Read . It was no good, so there goes my streak of reading good books this year 😂 Also started

[Elena]

Finished and it was indeed good!

Started the first book was good but this one might be better :) Not sure though.

[Christine]

I finished my 20th book

[Brittany]

Super interested in your thoughts on that one Jo!

Ah you are starting Blazing Phoenix already Elena? I might be able to jump in after my next read
