Stayed awake until 6am devouring most of this. I've been waiting for it to become disturbing in any way, but quickly realized that I'm the problem 🥲

Trying this one again because I keep hearing good things about it.

Reading this to my little guy and he loves it 😊

I have cried several times, felt nauseous, physically recoiled, closed the book a few times and then cried a little more. I knew I wasn't ready but stayed up all night anyway. I think I'm finally seeing a light at the end of a tunnel but I know better than to get my hopes up 🥲 Not diving back in until tonight. My heart hurts.

I KNOW that I'm not ready for this but I need to know what happens next. Taking a shot and diving in. Here we go 🥲🖤

Sooo I let the TWs on this deter me for a long time. I thought it would be too dark for me. I just stayed up until 7am reading this book and I'm regretting putting it down so I can sleep. I'm HOOKED. 🥵

I am forcing myself to finish this one in October, so I can do my third reread of ACoSF. I'm embracing that I'm trash.

Most of the books in this series are like this and it drives me nuts but I always come back for more. It takes a while to take off but when it does, I get hooked and can't stop reading. So much happened so fast and I'm crying, as is usual at this point in the book. Tohr is kind of a dick and I didn't expect that from him wtf 🥲

I'm trying to finish the books I've been putting off and I quickly remember why I left this one to the side. I'm reading 5 subplots and waiting for the plot I care about to come up.

Found this on booktok and I am REALLY intrigued so far. Being hooked in the first 50-100 pages is vital, so here we go!

Honestly trying to get through this one still. Not a bad book, just a lot of irrelevant info and scenes. There's meant to be a war going on and we are learning about the magic system still? It's all second book worthy.

Ongoing series, I LOVE this and I usually can't stick with dramas.

I prefer Christian's POV books. So I'm picking this back up in between other more important books 🤠

This is meant to be the conclusion in the trilogy and, from the title, a war is involved. I'm almost 150 pages in and nothing has happened really. I enjoyed the first 2 books so I'm hoping this picks up 🥲

I'm in denial that it's well into November and I have gone for re-reads over new books, most of the year.
I'm scrolling through the best books of 2021 and realized I have read maybe 3 books from there 🙃
Next year will hopefully be better.

I'm rereading this because I miss Nessian and I love smut with a heap of romance in it. Idc who knows it. I LOVE THIS FILTHY BOOK. 😌

I really love that each story is about a different brother, but there's so much drama and action going on as well. It helps build the foundation for the following book, while also making me fall in love with each individual brother. I didn't really care about Phury prior to this book tbh, but the little bits we read about him built up to this focused storyline. I now love Phury 😅

It really gets on my nerves how oblivious the men are in this series but I think this one is a new favorite so far 👀

This is the only book I felt the desire to pickup again. They're great escapism reads and I always fall in love with the MC in each storyline. However, this one is taking a bit longer to pick up, compared to the others so i'm reading it much slower.

I predicted the "plot twist" in this around the 30% mark lol. But I like some of the characters, slightly, so I'm sticking it out. I just really want to be wrong and have the plot play out less predictably. Thus far, I feel like my intelligence is questioned, as the answer has been all but spelled out up to this point. I saw one thing that surprised me a bit whilst skimming, but that's all. 🥲

I renewed my loan on this book because I felt like I'd miss out on something great by not reading it.
I'm about a quarter of the way through and nothing at all has happened. I never skim books, but I skimmed this one, and it looks like nothing continues to happen well past the halfway mark...
So I'm currently struggling, wondering if I should add yet another book to my dnf list.

I opened this book for the first time in a whole MONTH. That's what Twilight did to me 🥲 it just stopped my desire to read entirely. I don't know why I'm putting myself through this but I've vowed to not buy anymore books until I finish this. I must hate myself, truly ✨

I told myself I was going to take a break before starting this one. Here I am, torturing myself on purpose.

My guilty pleasure reads are always what I tend to pick back up first.

Reading about Bella and her woes has made me want to rip my eyes out. So I'm reading this dreadfully slow 🤧

I don't know why I can't put this down. My brain and eyes are slower than usual and I think the ease of this series is extra attractive, for that reason amongst several others.
I just love Edward, axe murderer or not.

I'm trying to read this and the other books I committed to, but again, I'm trying to tackle too much at once and this book isn't getting the love it deserves. It's truly wonderful and I'm looking forward to dedicating more time and attention to the series

I need an easy, laid back read to rinse my brain off. Hoping this lame but loved series, does the trick, as I've never read it all the way through.

This is really wonderful so far and if the books keeps on like this, I'll be continuing the series.
The writing is beautiful but the world building isn't grabbing my attention, I hope that improves.

I didn't know I cared about Butch until now.
