i have finished The Devil Makes Three by Tori Bovalino but i need to get to the physical book to get my comments on the BR up. I'm also 50 pages away from The Last Star (The 5th Wave, #3) by Rick Yancey which is also a BR then I am soooo binging on the Hobbit movies... I rented them from the library... so excited for the battle of the fives... THEN i will continue with the LOTR books... i am invested now lol.

Dannii Elle (danniiellereads) | 9967 comments I'm planning on a Hobbit marathon next weekend too, Cinthia. I just finished up The Hobbit graphic novel and it was so good! It really is a Tolkien filled month.

I'm 20 pages into The Reading List (next read) and hoping this one'll be another quick one but it's over 400 pages and it's Monday so it might take me a few days

lj ♡ | 177 comments Just finished Wintersmith! It was hilarious, and I liked the characters and world a lot, though the ending felt underwhelming. Looking forward to starting Children of Blood and Bone, I've heard so many good things about it, and the premise seems really intriguing!

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53787 comments Mod
Nice! Yeah I've heard good things as well!

Dannii Elle (danniiellereads) | 9967 comments I love CoBaB. I hope you enjoy :)

I can't sleep, as usual, but at least that means I have hours of uninterrupted reading time lol. I also have a pretty quiet day so am hopefully going to read a few graphic novels I have left and some fast thrillers. I have a couple of reviews still to write too.


message 107: by [deleted user] (new)

I'd love to read the second one but I've forgotten most of the first one it's been a few years. I just read my own review and some of it came back but still. children of blood and bone sounds like a good re-read. I may just do that so I could get to the second one.

I need to read the last few pages of Heart So Fierce and Broken before I can start Vow.

I have probably from 1.30am until 5am awake last night thanks to my bf pulling an all-nighter but I couldn't read because I kept trying to sleep

Aah that's the worst :( I hate restless nights. That's why I'm awake and reading now as I just overthink if I lay there and try to sleep.

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53787 comments Mod
Fair enough. It's frustrating because if I got up and read I'd feel so bad for missing out on the possibility of sleep. I seem to be doing okay today so far though which is good, and will get to bed around 10 tonight :D


message 111: by [deleted user] (new)

Finally caught up with my reviews. I was so tired from working those doubles so i slept all day. Now, I'm back to the Lord of the Rings world. I am liking it... I like Tom!!!


message 112: by Dannii (new)

Dannii Elle (danniiellereads) | 9967 comments I don't blame you, Cinthia. I hope you are feeling more well rested now! :)

I'm 24% into Reading List and really enjoying, I should get to halfway tomorrow! Planning on doing a lot more reading tomorrow once work's done. It's a good read, lots of POV, but it's good being able to connect them all against the contemporary backdrop. Already tell it's going to break my heart

I just looked the book up and it sounds so sweet! I just finished off another illustrated book. Not many points there but I'm having fun with them :)

Dannii Elle (danniiellereads) | 9967 comments My internet is down. I only have the data on my phone, which means no distractions but also mo review writing. Hopeful it will be back on tomorrow 😊

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53787 comments Mod

Yes Legolas is great! Aragorn's my favourite though <3


Vanessa Gayle ⚔️ Fangirl Faction (fangirlfaction) | 3795 comments I have an hour and a half left in my audiobook for A Vow So Bold and Deadly (Cursebreakers, #3) by Brigid Kemmerer that I will finish up tomorrow. I'll see you folks tomorrow. Heading to bed. =)

Can't wait!


Vanessa Gayle ⚔️ Fangirl Faction (fangirlfaction) | 3795 comments I finished A Vow So Bold and Deadly (Cursebreakers, #3) by Brigid Kemmerer this morning and I've posted my review. Now working on From Blood and Ash (Blood and Ash, #1) by Jennifer L. Armentrout and Ninth House (Alex Stern, #1) by Leigh Bardugo for buddy reads and Wolf Marked (Magic Side Wolf Bound #1) by Veronica Douglas on my own. I'm a little more behind in my reading that I thought I would be but I have been plagued by headaches lately and all I can do is sleep through them. I hope that everyone is enjoying the start of the week!

Work is work but sometimes you gotta push on through. I hope the rest of your week is better.

Yay! I'm so curious to hear your thoughts. =)


Vanessa Gayle ⚔️ Fangirl Faction (fangirlfaction) | 3795 comments Maddie wrote: "I'll be behind in Ninth House sorry!"

No worries. I read a few pages and then stopped to pick up an impulse/mood read. =P So I will be a bit behind too but I'll pick it back up in a day or so. =)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53787 comments Mod
Sure haha

I need to drop my TBR for the afternoon, I need to find an ebook that I can read lying down. I've pinched a neck muscle and can't really move so I want to find something I can read without sitting up


message 132: by Dannii (new)

Dannii Elle (danniiellereads) | 9967 comments Vanessa, I hope your headaches ease and Maddie, I hope your neck gets better!

My net is still a little temperamental and I now have a ton of reviews to write. I'll get them all up this evening, hopefully. I have three current reads I'm hoping to complete today as well as another illustrated book too.

I'm on page 153 of the hunting party, will finish it tomorrow. thanks Dannii, it is a bit better!

Dannii Elle (danniiellereads) | 9967 comments Phew! I'm finally all caught up with reviews!

lj ♡ | 177 comments Working on a not-illustrated middle grade - a reread of one of my favorites I only ever listened to by audio, it's just as good as i remembered, and a new YA at the moment (alright - not fantastic but not bad) :)

Neck pain is the worst. I hope that you are feeling better. I am totally the same. I would definitely be finding a workaround so that I could read. =P Even if I had to do it lying down.

Thank you. They're still coming and going but I didn't have to take a nap today so that's awesome. =)

Yay! My internet acts up sometimes too. It's aggravating. Especially when we pay for the highest speed internet yet there are outages all the time in the area where we live. It's ridiculous. -sigh-

It's still really bad, I think another evening of reading on the couch is in order, as well as finishing watching Bolt <3. I'll get 2 books finished up, got 70 pages of one and 100 of another. And then I hope my readathon lets me pick up Vow!

I love rereads of my favorites. I would probably be farther along with shortening my TBR if I didn't reread so many books each year. =P


Vanessa Gayle ⚔️ Fangirl Faction (fangirlfaction) | 3795 comments I finished reading Meant To Be (The Callahans, #4) by Monica Murphy today and posted my review. Now I am going to be focusing on the three buddy reads that I have neglected the past few days because of my impulse reading. =P

I have no idea what's happening as the phone lines have been down in my area for a week now, although it has only affected my house since Monday. I've gone to my boyfriend's as I need the net as I work from home. I need to go home on the weekend again so hoping it's fixed by then :(

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53787 comments Mod

message 146: by Dannii (new)

Dannii Elle (danniiellereads) | 9967 comments Woohoo. I have one review to post for the book I finished last night and am close to getting through another MG book and BR book too.

I'm then going to work through the audio for The Two Towers (The Lord of the Rings, #2) by J.R.R. Tolkien whilst I work.
