It was much sillier than book 1, but I still really enjoyed it"
I have that one on hold from the library, but I still need to read book #1. I took it out once, but kept falling asleep and had to return it. I will admit that it was not the book's fault. I was just super tired and traveling. lol I'm waiting to get the first book back so I can read that one before book #2. Glad you enjoyed it. I will be prepared for silly!
        
      Haha I hope you get it soon, Kristie! I think I enjoyed book 1 a lot more but they are both fun reads 👍
    
  
  
   I've been falling behind in my reviews -- November is going to be the month I start to catch up (I hope).

   Gilded by Marissa Meyer. I really enjoyed it, but I didn't know it was part of a series when I requested it. It is not a full story, so I will need to read additional books to find out how the story ends. Pretty disappointed with that. I'll link my review when I post it.

   . I'm pretty excited about it. I really enjoy this series and have gotten ARCs of the last couple of books, but I end up buying the audios because my husband also enjoys the series. Now that I have an ARC of the audio, we will listen to it together on our long drive to visit family for Christmas. :)

 I received a widget today for a book that I was already approved for. I was excited though because it was an audiobook. I'm super happy that they are now offering me widgets of audios. :)

a: How many books on your NetGalley shelf
b: What books are on your NG shelf
c: What your Netgalley feedback ratio is
2. During the month, read the NetGalley books that you can AND update your post with your reviews. (You can do this after each book or wait until the end of the month.)
3. At the end of the month, update your post and with:
a: What books you read
b: Link(s) to your review(s)**
c: Your updated shelf count
d: Your updated books to read
e: Your updated ratio
Then start a new post for the next month!
