Did you just finish reading a book? Great, share your experience with us! How was it? Would you suggest it to anyone? Let us know here!

The Tower of Nero

It’s rly good. I totally recommend it if u like Greek myths, read PJO, HoO, and the rest of the trials of Apollo series

Well, I finished The Tea Rose yesterday! Now, I'm starting (for the second time ) the second book of the trilogy: The Winter Rose

Cool!

Yeah, I finished The Iron Trial & Real Friends, Friday night...

i finished Pride and Prejudice, last week and i really liked it. we read it in english class, but i'm really glad we did tbh because i never got myself to pick it up on my own :).
i'd definitely recommend it

Haha haven't been able to read that much this week, but I think on Monday I finished Good Girl, Bad Blood and the day before A Good Girl's Guide to Murder... reading them both in two days - I don't think anyone needs any further explanations on how good they were... totally recommend!

Royal Assassin was the last book I finished, together with a goodreads friend. We've kind of decided to go through the whole "Realm of the Elderlings" series in time by now.

If you are into very typical, but also well-written high fantasy, then Robin Hobb might be an author you want to have a look at - if you haven't done so already.

Just finished reading two SF short stories by Nnedi Okorafor, From the Lost Diary of TreeFrog7 and Hello, Moto (both are publish online if anyone wants to check them out).
Both are impressive in their way - although From the Lost Diary of TreeFrog7 might be more accessible for those who aren't familiar with the author and her type of fantasy and SF yet.

I finished reading To Kill a Kingdom a little while ago and I really enjoyed it. It was a very entertaining read and the plot was really interesting. Enemies-to-lovers is my weakness, throw in some sirens, siren hunters, and slow-burn romance and it doesn't get any better than that. I really liked the use of the Greek language within the book as it is my native language. Also, I'm a sucker for a badass, red-head female protagonist and a badass, dark-haired (sharp jawline) male protaginist mixed with sexual tention and hate.

Rate: 5/5 Stars

I really want to read that book!

I just finished Girls of Paper and Fire yesterday and I loved it. The first half was somewhat slow but it did a great job of world-and-character-building and the prose is so nice. Plus I love the characters and the romance. 100% would recommend

Book TWs: (view spoiler)[ S3xual assault and animal death (hide spoiler)]

Was that The Good Girl? I had to read that twice as the twist at the end really got me!

I just finished reading Serpent and Dove and I loved it!!!

I definitely suggest reading it (especially if you love magic, witches, witch-hunters and the enemies-to-lovers trope!!)

Just finished reading Beautiful Chaos

It was okay but not the greatest.

I'll have that in mind :)

I just finished The Left-Handed Booksellers of London! It felt like a Miyazaki movie with a bit of Dark Academia in it, which was cool.

i just finished My Wattpad Love LAST NIGHT!

how was it?

Not as good, as good as I'd expected it to be

ohh, that's a litlle annoyng when it happens. You know, when you have high expectaions for a book, but it just isn't as good as you had imagined it...

Yeah, a friend of mine has recommended it to me, and she really liked it, so... oh well

I just finished reading This Story Is a Lie by Tom Pollock and I loved it! I would recommend it if you like books with lots of plot twists and endings that will make you question everything.

I finished Bone Crier's Dawn and I liked it even better than Bone Crier's Moon

I love stories with twists so will look for it. I just finished Dark Sky and it is 6 stars as his best one yet.

I just finished City of Ashes, it was pretty good, it the first was still better.

I finished Nach der Bombe two days ago - my second try with Philip K. Dick. The racism and misogyny was rather hard to bear, and I still have one more by him on my shelves... ^^'

I finished A Good Girl's Guide to Murder yesterday night, and I really, liked it!

Yeahh, I want to read it so bad :)

You should!

I just finished reading The Gilded Ones.
It was nice, and I liked the author's style and the general plot idea. But (view spoiler)[the Chosen One trope was laid on a little thickly, and the massive "power-up" of that Chosen One leaves little room for realistic future conflicts. On the other hand, her mental emancipation process happens at an unrealistically rapid and erratic pace. (hide spoiler)]
I probably won't continue with this series/trilogy because the end of this book didn't make me feel that a sequel is actually necessary.

Just finished Scarlet, Cress, and Winter (The Lunar Chronicles) last night! Probably gonna re-read Stars Above and Fairest to finish off my TLC streak-

if you haven't read it yet w h a t t h e h e c k a r e y o u d o i n g
