It’s been too long since my favorite pastime. I can’t wait to go back to doing the things I used to love - like finishing 20 chapters in 1 sitting hehe

Started it but don't feel like continuing? Maybe I'll pick it up again later...

Okay I don't get deja vu this time, but I'm very confused. How did I read the first book in the series last year and not read the second book? How did I not k n o w there was a second book? This is very unusual of me. I used to keep a record of the date and time I finish every book, but for some reason I stopped sometime last year...

Here’s hoping I didn’t actually read this before?

Watched the tv show when it came out last year (when I realized my mistake, it was too late!) but so excited to read the books!!

I know the reviews are not making it look good, but I really love the cover... here's to hoping I don't give up on this too?

Had to stop reading in the middle because I don't like it...

This is the last of my previous book haul. I will give it a try before I dig deep into my new 20-book haul

Started reading this about a month ago but the constant monologue and the scary scenes of surviving in the wilderness wasn't really helping my then-situation of surviving medical school ,so..

Started reading this several months ago and stopped because I got bored... not sure that will change

My book review for cruel price is making me super excited to read this amidst a pretty tough time!

I'M SO EXCITED TO FINALLY GET BACK TO SOMETHING I USED TO LIKE DOING!!!!!! Perks of being done with the MCAT <3333

Sooo, I read the first book in the series two years ago and did not write a review, so I'm basically heading into the next book relying on my too poor memory to bring back my memories of the previous book, and let me tell you, my braino is not doing a good job as of yet..

SOOOO EXCITED TO FINALLY SEE SIMON AND JACE AND CLARY AND BLACKTHORNS AND MAGNUS AND EVERYONE MY HEART IS SO FULL IT IS BREAKING

Soooo......I started reading the book without checking in with my reviews of the previous two books in order to catch up, and realized that I was not reacting to the events the way I should have if I remembered the ending of the last book..
In my review of the second book, I wrote "and don't forget the crown broken in half" and now I don't understand why...if only I can speak to my 2017 self to know why!!

I cried, then smiled, then cried, then smiled again. That was one roller-coaster of a chapter!

So I basically got this book and started reading a couple of days ago, and noticed that I felt like I was missing something. I brushed that feeling off by saying that the last time I read the Gone series was 5 years ago, and I must have forgotten the plot..
I just found out that this is the second in the series called "Monster". **dead**

I LOVE THIS BOOK SO MUCH I LOVE SELINA AND LUKE AND JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING!!!
Now I’ll be heartbroken when it ends..

“For on that painting, I’d shown him what I had not revealed to anyone. What the Ouroboros had revealed to me: the creature inside myself, the creature full of hate and regret and love and sacrifice, the creature that could be cruel and brave, sorrowful and joyous.
I gave him me—as no one but him would ever see me.”

❤️

I’M SO GLAD I GET TO SEE MORE OF FEYRE AND RHYS!!!
Probably my most favorite couple in the YA world.
And say no more about the cover. I love it!

YAYYY! SOOO GLAD TO GO BACK TO RED QUEEEN!!!
FINALLY something to distract me from the worst week ever - AND it’s only Wednesday!

“It’s not the wedding that’s important to us, it’s the marriage. It’s working together for the rest of our lives. It’s knowing someone so deeply that facing the unknown together isn’t dark and dangerous, but instead beautiful and bright.”

“Are you with me?” he asked.
She looked up at him. “Until the end,” she said.

<3

“Every time you activate the façade, it’s a new face. Why don’t you just get your old face, the one you had when you were alive?”
“I’m not that man any more,” Skulduggery said. “Wearing his face would be no different to wearing the face I have on right now. They’re all masks.” ”

- Deep thoughts

“I know what you’re thinking,” Skulduggery announced. “You outnumber us. You’ve got us trapped in a prison full of people who hate us. But I need you to understand something. When we’re together, Valkyrie and I, there is nothing we cannot accomplish, and no number of enemies we cannot overcome.”
They landed gently. Immediately, Valkyrie toppled over.
Skulduggery looked down at her. “You ruined that.”

THIS. <3

Two years later, still don't have the heart to finish it.

That book is so close to my reality and brings me so much homesickness that it pains me to read it, but I'll try to continue reading it.

I was bored when reading it a couple of months ago, and never bothered to finish it. I don't have the heart to remove it from my currently reading shelf, the sentimental person that I am.

Um, why didn't anyone tell me that Skulduggery was back???? I STILL HAVE his ringtone on my phone, all those years later!!!
SO HAPPY TO HAVE SKULDUGGERY AND VALKYRIE BACK!!! ESPECIALLY after the Dying of the Light - killed me after every page!
