Hex is the coolest dog ever! Though I still have a soft spot for Lola from the Slip trilogy, because she's like a little robotic Kero, so how could I not love her?

The Abyss Surrounds Us (The Abyss Surrounds Us, #1) by Emily Skrutskie

LOVED IT. If any of you are looking for a really cool sci-fi book, definitely check it out. :D

And right now I'm reading:

Starflight (Starflight, #1) by Melissa Landers

About halfway through right now, and it's really addicting. It can be a little predictable/trope-y at times, but it's a fun read!

Brittany McCann (brittanylmccann) | 105 comments FINISHED
The Fairy Boy of Calton Hill by Sean-Paul Thomas The Fairy Boy of Calton Hill for my read & Review and it started out well. There is a bit of different lingo being written by a Scottish author, but I have found that if I envision a Scottish accent (such as Sean Connery) when I read it that it makes the flow seamless. Once the book picked up around the 24-25% mark It was a very quick and exciting read. I loved all of the new creatures and implications of the tunnels. It did escalate quickly into dark events towards the end. I can't wait to read the next one. 4 stars for me.

Also finished Autobiography of a Geisha by Sayo Masuda Autobiography of a Geisha to continue on with my Asian/Geisha theme of late ;) Sayo Masuda has a VERY hard life from the time the book starts around the age of 6. She was a hot springs resorts geisha which was a lot closer to artistic prostitutes. I feel like Memoirs of a Geisha combined this and Geisha, a Life to come up with a story. There were some specific names such as Chiyo and events from this book that couldn't be found anywhere within Geisha, a Life. Also the intro by the translator mentions Memoirs of a Geisha specifically. By the age of 21 Masuda had experienced insane hardships. Not necessarily a happy book but still worth the read. 4 stars.

STILL READING
Token Huntress by Kia Carrington-Russell Token Huntress for my pen pal read!

reading at work One Child The Story of China's Most Radical Experiment by Mei Fong One Child: The Story of China's Most Radical Experiment which is very well researched and written so far.

Also reading The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky The Perks of Being a Wallflower for a march standalone read and it is great so far. I am loving the letter style of writing.

and just started Red Queen (Red Queen, #1) by Victoria Aveyard Red Queen for the March Series read.

Starflight (Starflight, #1) by Melissa Landers

I liked it over all. I found the romance kind of annoying at times, but it was still a fun story!

And now I am re-reading:

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Harry Potter, #2) by J.K. Rowling


Rose (The_Calm_Reader) (roselittlebookowl75) | 1372 comments @Harlee......Gansey of course but for some reason I kind of like the brooding Ronan!

Although this wasn't a favorite I did enjoy it overall! I really want to get to Glass Sword but seem to be in a bit of a reading slump. More from being exhausted from work and too many things going on in my brain to focus. Hope I snap out of it this weekend! :)


Rose (The_Calm_Reader) (roselittlebookowl75) | 1372 comments @Karen I love Blue also!!!

I am still working on my beta read but only read it when my mind is fresh and focused which hasn't been much lately. And the book is really good too!!

I have been peeking at Alight (The Generations Trilogy, #2) by Scott Sigler but since it's an ARC, I want to be focused as well. I'm listening to Fuzzy Nation by John Scalzi which is about all my brain can grasp right now. It's a fun light sci-fi narrated by Wil Wheaton! *swoon*

I'm rereading The Twelve (The Passage, #2) by Justin Cronin and only reading a few pages here and there. Thank goodness it's a reread so I don't have to focus too much. I really need to get out of this slump. :(
