Re-reading in audio before moving onto Scarlet and Cress.

Becca and the book bookapolothan// under 250 pages.

This is such a different book. I saw the Game of Thrones style cover and thought it was gonna be some action packed, traditional fantasy. However, it feels far more like a legal drama with magic. I’m of two minds on it, but I’ve already decided to read the next one, so it’s doing what it’s doing well.

Very sweet. Gorgeous art. <3

My kids groan whenever we have to pause this book. They’re definitely loving it.

My kids begged me to not stop reading. They’re loving this one.

How did I miss Tana French before this? Elly Griffiths is still my favorite mystery author of the year, but that’s more a style thing and what I like. Tana is freaking brilliant.

A DNF for me.

This book is excellent. I highly recommend it, but I’m going to switch it to Want To Read and will give it another go to finish when I’m less stressed out. It riles me right the f&ck up because of the generalized WTFery these people experienced along with a wide dash of nausea, disgust, and dissatisfaction with mankind.

OMG, this needs a trigger warning for adopted kids or kids who’ve been in foster care and passed around. We’ll be DNF-ing.

SF September.....

This book sucked me right in.

We are loving this book. We’re doing a homeschool unit on birds, and my kids are fully engaged with each bird we learn about. Super great. It’s already 5 stars.
