It’s already giving Shadow & Bone x Buddy the Vampire Slayer x Zodiac Academy

“Books promise that your life can change in an instant. And bookstores? Bookstores offer refuge, a home away from home. No matter how far you travel, you can always find a little piece of home inside a bookstore.”

This is the funniest book ever, and I’m reading it aloud to Draco and Michael 😂

STOPPPP. This book is too good -I may be reading the Waterstones Exclusive edition but now I need the Fairyloot one too, and I’m not even done yet.

“All of these things you listed, a dog could do.” YES, go off Conor having one of those “he’s literally just a guy, hit him with your car” moments!

Loudons! It may be popular with tourists but I can concure it really is one of the best breakfasts in Edinburgh.

Not the mention of Booking.com 🫠

“Then Mordaunt grew serious, plucked the spear from the chief’s hand, and skewered him and the two men behind him into a grotesque bandit brochette.” 😂

Not sure how I felt about this one. The betrayals didn’t feel all that surprising -especially the last one, as Jude didn’t exactly make friends with anyone and was a complete novice. It was a bit of a disappointment as sequels can go. Still hoping things turn around for the next one though!

OMG. MAAAAAAAAAALLLL!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

This isn't as action-packed as the first book in the series, but my goodness my heart is breaking over Mal and Alina. A firm new favorite OTP. One of the best series I have read all year and a new favorite author!

Completely new author and book series for me, and I'm loving it! After seeing reviews on Goodreads and pictures on Instagram, I was too tempted to get it on a 3 for 2 offer in Waterstones. I am so glad I did!

Reread ACOMAF this week, as I missed it too much. Normally books can be a bit disappointing on the second read, but it was still utter perfection from the characters to the plotline. Now I am sure it will be a book that I will keep in my collection forever and continuously reread whenever I miss it.

Started this old favourite after ACOMAF gave me a hangover -I'm still not over its utter perfection. The only thing I could read next was another flawless book I hadn't read in years so I picked up Sabriel. I adore this series.

I put off my to do list as soon as I got home from work and couldn't put it down. Feyre is much more relatable in ACOMAF, and finally coming into her own. I wish she had started sooner tbh, but this is a masterpiece. Maas has developed her writing so quickly, I'm impressed.

I started it this morning and haven't been able to put it down since. I wish I could stay up all night reading it.

I devoured this and will be finished all too soon. It's not as jam-packed with fantastical action as Northern Lights was, but I've always loved Will and still love this nonetheless.

After a disappointing of Glass Sword by Victoria Aveyard that put me off for a while, I decided to re-read an old favorite that I hadn't picked up in almost 10 years. Before J.K. Rowling there was Philip Pullman, and I am glad to be reading his works again.

Feeling no motivation to continue with this book at the moment, I will give it a try next week though.

This a very slow read, and not much has happened so far that has made me care more about the characters. Because of the descriptive writing Aveyard uses I somehow care about them even less. So far, not a great follow-up book to Red Queen.

Starting this book after reading the Throne of Glass series may have been a mistake... So far I am finding it very hard to follow and care about the characters from the way Aveyard is writing them. It's mainly description after description, even though there's tons of action in it. Maas was much better at writing special snowflakes and action.

Although these are short stories they add up to a sizeable book, and the stories within have enough twists and turns (thankfully Maas only hinted at them in the series) that you'll be delving into some of the most important moments in Celaena's life that shaped her into the girl in the series. I'm loving this, and I so wish Maas had a chance to re-write ToG now.

This is really getting good. You can visibly see how much Maas' writing has grown since ToG, and it is a thrill to read about the people and events that shaped Celaena into who she is in book 1. Very good pacing, and very easy to read. No complaints here.

We finally get to meet some of the female characters Celaena encounters before Throne of Glass, some of which keep floating around on tumblr (ie: Yrene Towers and Ansel), but I am rather confused as to why Celaena persists to have such low opinions of fellow women in ToG. Why is only until she meets Nehemia does she begin to change?

I just started this collection of prequel novellas this morning, and I am going to be so sad when I finish this. I've heard it's one of the best books in the series (Sam!) and I'm going to have to wait until September for the next installment.

Already bought the next book and the Assassin's Blade prequel. Maas has really come into her own, although this book is alot slower than the second.

Celaena always seems to be training for something, but thankfully Maas has added in new characters and different locations to add interest. I'm loving it so far!
