pickI gave the first one five stars and while enjoyed this one too it wasn‘t quite as much as the first. This was a little slower to start because the world was established and there wasn‘t as much of the fun getting to know everyone bits. Once the main mystery started to have pieces fall into place and twists appeared it was hard to put down.

When reading buddies attack! My book and snack bag are under there somewhere. Callie really wanted some in your face quality time. Thankfully she settled next to me and I can get back to The Arcadia Project. #CatsOfLitsy
I thought I could hold out and read at least one of my challenge commitments before hitting the next in this series but I‘m too weak. I think I‘m gonna blame my ND brain‘s tendency to hyper focus on things to the detriment of any plans I‘ve previously made lol.
pickThis author knows how to hook you from chapter to chapter. This was a great continuation of the series with many surprises and the introduction of new characters who added a lot to the tale. I loved the manticore! You find yourself rooting for Millie in spite of her questionable decisions. I am looking forward to the next book.
pickFaaaaaabulous sequel that has me salivating for final book. So moved by our heroine - her struggle with Borderline Personality Disorder has hit me so intensely but also reassured me.
I'm really surprised that I didn't read any books longer than ACOWAR, and I can't believe that Phantom Pains was my least popular book--the Arcadia Project series is fantastic! I find the "least popular book" stat to be the most interesting one to check out on everybody's year in review, it's always surprising!
pickI am obsessed with these books. An original take on urban fantasy with an achingly real female lead navigating borderline personality disorder, two prosthetic legs, and the fast approaching destruction of the magical world.
pickThis sequel is even better than the first one! The story is so interesting and the main character (and supporting characters) continued discussion of mental illness and physical disability are really interesting and feel very real. While this book is full of magic, there are no magic fixes.
Trying to read this book and sip some milk tea (naicha) that my 6yo's classmate's grandmother made for me (very strong and sweet!). The boys are busy drawing in the Father's Day cards for their grandfathers and their dad.
About a quarter through and so far, this one is just as good as the first one. And this is basically my plan for the next few hours. Woo!
My unruly #TBR. Charlie Chaplin playing it cool. Waiting to be matched with my #SummerSantaGoesPostal partner. Oh, and if you've been matched with me & are feeling stressed? Don't be! 😎I don't own a lot of books (library FTW!) and my Litsy TBR stack contains unread & unowned books only. So relax, have fun & send me something you love! 😍📚🦑
I'd have a better library haul post if the library didn't misplace my interlibrary loans. Maybe they'll show up someday.
pickGreat followup to Borderline! I love the world-building/merging, and the main character. I hope Baker continues the series!
Another day at home to take care of a sick Little, and my brain is toast from lack of sleep so I'm doing my favorite thing (I'm sure you know what that is!).
p.s. I'm loving this second installment in Mishell Baker's Arcadia Project series!! "Snappy, fast," just like the blurb says.
And now for this followup to Mishell Baker's BORDERLINE, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Thanks to Saga Press for the review copy!
