Currently reading A Court of Frost and Starlight - Sarah J Maas. First time reading. BOTM on audiobook. And Chain of Gold - Cassandra Clare. It was a gift and I feel obligated to read it BUT ITS SO SLOW. Gotta push through D:

I GET IT! It's like even though you don't really want a gift you still feel obliged to play with it/read it/use it.

That's been on the to read but its a bit intimidating!

Yep. Hubby bought it for Christmas for me and I like the Mortal Instruments by the same author. This one is set in 1900 England and its soooo. Over dramatic. She couldn't be seen alone with another male for the fear of public opinion. Picnicking in the park seems to frivolous for their parents. UGH. Luckily it JUST started getting interesting-ish. I'm 1/3 of the way through.

Doing the audiobook so I can speed read it. Started a tad late.

That's so nice!!


😆😆😆 That's a long way to wait...Tell us if it gets better!

I was pretty impressed that I got a book for Christmas :) He did a good on that gift!

Wow! Impressive. One of my long to-reads, but like Maddy said, it's a little intimidating...

Yay! Thanks for participating!

Nice! Sarah J. Mass is good!

That's amazing and awesome he knows exactly what you want!

Glad I'm not the only one!

I had no idea who she was just 2 months ago. My coworker sold me her entire paperback set for $10 because she was buying a hard cover set.

Best $10 I've spent all year.

Would recommend The Midnight Library.

:) While it is a little sad in the beginning, it's a really beautiful story.

Whoa! That's amazing!

I love the title!

How do you like it?

Catherine wrote: I love the title!"

It's rather depressing in the beginning. But it rounds out to a really beautiful story. The main character winds up in the midnight library - a realm in the moment between life and death where she gets to try on every possible life/choice she never ended up making for herself.

Every life is a book on the shelf of her childhood library.

I JUST found out it has been on the NY Times best seller list for 51 weeks. I got it as a free book on audible and it was SO worth the time. I just bought a hardcover copy so I can keep it!

Ps - there are no spoilers in that description. The blurb states as much. And there's so much more depth to the story. <3

OK! Good to know:)

Wow! Okay! Just got two awesome recommendations today!

Thanks- I appreciate that:)

I can't find Christmas on Yuletide Farm on Goodreads...I will add it seperately to my list, though:)

Cool! Added!

Thanks!

Oo I've heard a lot about Colleen Hoover recently. What's Ugly Love about?

I read the description! The last line is a total cliffhanger...XD How do you like it?

@catherine I was looking recently and she (Colleen Hoover) has like 5 books all on the NY Times Bestseller list. 5. AT THE SAME TIME.

Yeehawwrodeo wrote: "I’m not that far into yet, but so far I like it!!! It has me on the edge of my seat to know what happens next."

Ooo that's a good sign!

Okay I just checked and it's 3. But 3 at the same time... still impressive.

WHAT! That's amazing! I know someone who really enjoys romance novels- I'll have to recommend her!

I'm reading Shadow and Bone now. I just read Throne of Glass, and right before that, The Giver. After a kind of long reading slump, I'm excited to get through all of my to-reads!

I'm nearing the end of Storm and Siege - really loving the progression of this story. I stopped to buy King of Scars and Rule of Wolves mid way because I loved the character its based on!

@Catherine good to see that reading slump is history ;) I'm getting excited about reading through the series I have waiting.

Ooo nice!! Is King of Stars and Rule of Wolves by the same author in the same universe?

Yes!! I'm so glad, too. It's good to get back into the reading vibe again:)

Yay for getting through your reading slump!! Are you enjoying your current reads Catherine? Also, how was The Giver? It's one of the books I'm planning to read during this year or the next. Did you like it?

Yes!! I'm excited to get back into reading again:)

I'm loving the world in Shadow and Bone. So interesting. The characters are interesting, and it actively interests you.

I loved the ideas behind the Giver, and the adventure that the author took you on. The world was also very interesting. The plot wasn't super gripping, and the characters weren't SUPER interesting, but the book made you think.

Hmm I see, but I guess a book that makes you think is still something worth reading! I think I'll definitely give it a try sometime; sad to hear that the plot wasn't gripping, but if the world-building was great, then I'm interested.

Shadow and Bone I've heard about it so many times, it's so popular. By the way, which book got you through your reading slump? Was it this one? Books that can do that must be really fun to read

Just finished The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue.

It was unique. Beautiful. Sad. And a solid 4/5 <3

Actually, it was Throne of Glass. I was rereading it for the second time, and at the middle/end, I just ate it up.

Oh! I was recommended that book. I was about to ask if you would care to share a review, but then I saw you already posted one! So excited to read it! :P

It's a different style of book than I've ever read. I liked it very much! It does drag at times - or I should say there's a lot of potentially unnecessary stuff in there - but it's written so beautifully you almost don't even notice :)

Woww. Good to know!

currently reading lore, and I would tell everyone to read the priory of the orange tree and dry

Priory is on my list! It's a long one though. Might tackle that over a solid 2-3 weeks.

I am keen to read Lore! Let us know what you think :)
