The Girl at Midnight | 
panLiked the narrator a lot, but the story was not for me. The MC was very irritating but maybe I‘m just not a good reader for this book.
Echo, adopted and not really a part of the human world anymore, is sent on a quest to find the Firebird and must work fast to find the Firebird before anyone else.
1/5 read if you like teen books with main characters who are way too fast to judge and don‘t think things through
Treated myself to this tasty beverage and ended up reading tagged book in nearly one sitting.
pickI would say this book is relatively good. I honestly picked it up after finishing the Harry Potter series. This book give you fantasy, romance, action, and even some bromance. If you loved reading love Simon Or Simon Snow I would recommend this.
We were up at 5am getting Bubba Haiden off to church camp (please say a prayer for a safe journey and an awesome week for him and the others) so we are super tired. It‘s been a total sit in front on the tv and veg kind of morning/afternoon.
pickOne of my favorite aspects of The Girl at Midnight was the myth and legend that Grey created and the way in which it drove the story. She drew on inspirations from birds and dragons to create two ancient races, each with their own history, customs and traditions. I found the Avicen (birds) and Drakharin (dragon) races to be so fascinating, and was transfixed by the way Grey centered much of her story on the history between the two.
Or had she grown in the seconds it took for her to stand? One could never quite trust the internal logic of dreams. “What are you doing here?”

Another random purchase of mine (I know I'm addicted to books ?) I thought the cover looked amazing and the plot seems super intriguing.

pickThis book was surprisingly good, it was just one of those books that you pick up at the library, as you do. It didn't call out to me or anything, I just grabbed it and signed it out.
My niece borrowed this series before I could read it. She loved it so I'm excited to dive in.
pickJust finished up the audiobook of this one on a long road trip and I *adored* it. Interesting worldbuilding, great characters, exciting plot. And the narrator was really excellent, too. Definitely made this 16-hour round trip much more bearable!
I'm so eager to start this series. Have you read it yet?

This book was pure magic and such an easy read. I literally finished it in one sitting? I know it seems very similar to Daughter of Smoke and Bone, but I couldn't help but be entranced by it's whimsical story and hilarious characters. Definitely a recommend read!
pickThis was actually better than I thought it would be. The world building is pretty great and the characters are all likeable enough. Some nice light reading to start off the long weekend!
so-soI'll admit the hype got to me on this one and I didn't love it as much as I had hoped... but still ready to continue my audio series binge! Would love to see more world-building in the second book!

Hi everyone 👋😊. My name is Skylar . Saw this on @novelheartbeat story and decided to join too.

I'm a Bookstagrammer and love taking book photos. I love how this is completely book related!! I'm really excited to join 😊.
so-soA very original and unique story that sucked me in from page one! This book was amazingly well told. Bits and pieces were a little too "meh.." for me, unfortunately, but the story, in its entirety, was fascinating and very different to anything I've read in a while!
If you like mystery, sarcasm, wit, comedy, romance, thrilling adventure, and magic then you should definitely check out "the Girl at Midnight" by Melissa Grey ?✌?
Finally listening to this book! I have a thing for books with the word Midnight in the title. Enjoying the narration by Julia Whelan, and it reminds me a little of Daughter of Smoke and Bones series, which I loved. #CurrentlyReading #midnightbookgirl #audiobooks #tbrpile
pickThis book took me awhile to read, because life, but it was really good. #magic #magpies #birdsofafeather #dragons
The cover is gorgeous and the supernatural theme sounds like fun. Will keep you posted. #CurrentlyReading
pickLoved this book so much. Echo is a literary thief after my own heart. I was captivated by her and the world she lives in. The ragtag group she has by the end of the book is hilariously well matched. The world building is spectacular and I cannot wait to read the next one.
pickI practically devoured his book! This was a reread for me and I loved the characters as much the 2nd time around as I did the 1st! One of my favorite characters had to be Jasper, an Avicen and fellow thief of Echo‘s. He is witty, a peacock, and loves to collect pretty things—one of which is Dorian, Caius‘s Captain of the Guard. I loved how Jasper would constantly try to get Dorian to blush. It was adorable. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

pickI'm having trouble with this one. I need something between Pick and So-So. Well written, interesting secret world within our world. The idea of bird people and dragon people warring is intriguing. However, the story and the characters were predictable, which killed the wow factor for me.
I also kind of loved the library scenes in this book. A million book friends!
pickGreat YA fantasy novel with a funny & spirited female protagonist set in an interesting world of birds and dragons, where people have feathers for hair and scales. Well-paced plot as the heroine finds herself in the middle of a war along side a merry band of misfits. Also has a LGTBQ side pairing.
Nabbed this one off Amazon a couple weeks ago when it was rec'd on twitter. Spent the morning reading a big chunk. People don't have hair, they have feathers and dragon scales. That's awesome enough right?
Thoughts? This is calling my name.
so-soThis was actually a fun enough read, but I might have liked it more if I hadn't read Daughter of Smoke and Bone first. Some passages were hit and miss, but I'm a little excited to see how the author's style continues to develop. Definitely checking out the sequel.
"Echo looked around at her sea of tomes, and a single word came to mind: tsundoku. It was the Japanese word for letting books pile up without reading them all." ? Find me at reading-out-loud.tumblr.com ?
pickLove this work of fantasy by Melissa Grey. Strong and diverse characters plus a well-developed mythology made it that much easier to love. I can't wait for the sequel!
pickBeautiful. Magical. One of the best fantasies I've ever read.
